I've done my research - We have a winner!!!!
This has been my first automatic type watch purchase. I refused to dive head first into purchasing, what could be considered a "higher end" brand as my first automatic. Examples include citizens (eco-drive), Seiko, Movado (I have one non-automatic), Bulova (I have two non-automatic) and so on. I'm pinching pennies as it is with the economy as it is. What does someone do when they want a watch for a price that won't break the bank, looks nice, functions well, and you can see yourself wearing it frequently?I rarely wear my Movado or Bulova's - matter of fact, I put those in a safe years ago. I only wore them with business suites etc. As daily wear watches, I've bought throw aways over the years. Casio digital watch, timex, no brand names and hell, even a smart watch (which I rarely used to it's full purpose)Enter the Invicta Pro Diver**Pros**- Watch Feels Solid - The band feels like good construction and so does the watch- Band is not loud - I can't really describe what I mean by this but some watch band links "cling" togetherwhen you move or the watch moves. Like it's cheap and loose. Not this band. It's solid.- Looks great - The colors on the band, dial, and so on really pop- Keeping good time - It arrived active already - I set the time last night, right to the second, and so far it's right on the money (I used my desktops windows time to nail the seconds down)- Higher end movement - I did a lot of research on the Seiko movement (NH35A) and according to some online sources, this is a 40.00 dollar movement by itself.- Water Resistance - I was looking forward to having a watch I could wear at all times. Even in the shower. Something as trivial as needing to take a watch off to shower and put back on after is annoying. I showered with it and (**important** make sure the crown is screwed down and tight to turn clockwise) I have no issues to report**Cons**- Clasp Quality - The clasp feels solid for the most part. I could foresee it wearing down over time. Kind of why I've decided to rarely, if ever, take off the watch. I'm not too worried about this.- Does not glow in the dark very well - I don't really know much about the science behind luminous but I can tell you that I'm simply not able to tell the time in the dark. It does glow but not bright enough in my opinion.- Invicta Branding - Some may have no issue with having an "Invicta" engraving on the bezel and the Invicta symbol on the second hand. Some may find that tacky. I personally don't really care.**Take Away**I'm happy with my purchase. I paid 74 bucks (I'm including taxes etc. in that price) for an automatic watch that functions well, looks great, is solid built, and will accomplish what I had as an end goal for buying my first automatic watch. Time will tell (pun intended) how well this watch holds up. I'm not a very daily active person. Meaning I work in an office setting. Not much going on that could cause any sort of issue for the watch. I am active during the week and on the weekends going to the gym etc. I plan on wearing the watch throughout all of those activities. I'll definitely be putting the watch through its paces.If you're just getting into the automatic side of watches, in a market saturated by countless brands mimicking other brands, and where a decent name "high end brand" starts at 150.00 (for really bottom barrel automatics) , to better looking name brand watches priced 300.00 to 500.00 , and you're wanting to save a buck, I think you'll be happy buying this watch.It checked most if not all my checkboxes. For the price and movement quality, you simply can't beat it.Ver másVer menos
