It's a lovely big timepiece but not too heavy. Became aware of the brand whilst in Florida a couple of years. Lots of gold I remember. My son expressed an interest in the brand for a possible birthday present. Whilst looking at the various styles I noticed the 'Grand Diver'. I ended up buying one for him and one for myself. It looks really nice and chunky on the wrist. If it's not worn every day there's the usual issue with getting it going again, this can always be remedied with an automatic winder I guess. The only slight niggle I've found, is that if it's not worn for several days getting the date right is a bit fiddly. Initially I'd wind the watch on for ever to catch up, but pulling the winder out a tiny little notch prior to the full amount allows you to move the date only. Sticking with the date aspect, these watches are fitted with what I think they call cyclops, the magnified window above the date. Personally I don't think it needs this, you can see the date easily enough without it. In fact with this enlarged window, I find myself having to turn my wrist so I'm looking straight down at the date rather than at an angle. Despite that, I love wearing the watch and it suits both daytime and evening wear. A lot if watch for not a lot of money. Again it's a personal thing, I like the inscription on both sides of the watch, unusual, as is the raised divers helmet on either shoulder. The silver divers helmet on the watch face is a nice little touch. Overall, very pleased with this. I would certainly recommend. Read full review

I am not a big fan of Invicta, I do have a 40mm pro diver and it is functional and on a NATO strap is very comfortable. Most of the offerings from Invicta are too cartoony or to much gimmick for me, except this homage to the Rolex sub. This 47mm version is awesome on my 8” wrists. It is bigger, thicker, and with a different case back less comfortable. It would look wrong on smaller wrists due to its large size. Every Invicta I have owned has developed a haze on the inner crystal, which requires a little rubbing alcohol to take off, but it cleans up nicely. It is a great beater watch, and at the price point I wouldn’t expect much more from it.

great engine, great look it definitely competes with the $2500 diving watch like Oris. The only downside is the band links. They are held with pins not screws and on the long term because of the total weight of the watch, it could cause a fatal problem. To make sure nothing drastic happens in the long run, I replaced the SS metal band with a composite rubber band, problem solved. For that kind of money how can you wrong.

This watch really loved me, the materials and finishes are top quality, every detail is well taken care of, in addition to being comfortable even with its size. The cost-benefit ratio is also outstandingly good.

great watch! its big and heavy, so you better have big hands and arms..Impressed with the quality for the cost. I had to remove 2 links, but it was easy. Keeps good time, no problem in the shower. Haven't dove with it yet, but wouldn't hesitate.
