Invicta Men's 9094OB "Pro Diver" Stainless Steel Automatic Watch

Very nice and good price. Very very dark or deep blue, but not navy. At times I see a little violet in there. I have several of the Invictas with the NH35A movements. I have this one losing less 1sec 24 hours right now. Easily not more than +2sec/3sec 24hr. I have regulated it so didn't come this good. If exact is your thing Auto's not really the best but if auto is what you like and you want as good as you can this is easy to regulate. The more I have auto's the less I care about perfect time keeping up to +10 to me is just fine. If you don't know the Invicta Swiss version or a Rolex very well this feels very solid. It has weight. I am trying to say it is not as refined or solid as those but close enough and at the price certainly a great deal. If you like the Submariner look this is great. Not a fake it is sort of an homage. I actually wear this more than my Swiss Made version. The Swiss is nicer so I baby it a little. This and the others like it I have are great I don't worry about them. A little bang here bump there no worry. I am not seeing any wear or scratching. So they are tough but like anything you could damage if you did the wrong thing. So unless you know your Swiss you are unlikely to notice any shortcommings. I know them and don't think they matter at $250 less than my Swiss made. This has slightly lighter band, hollow end link and stamped clasp. I don't even think these make it any less strong real world wise. Mine even says "Japan Movt" at 6:00. I think that is cool. That also means the view at the back is all steel, nice look. I also have the black version. Not Japanese Movement. Not a problem and does not seem any less quality or accurate but does not say "Japan Movt" and has yellow rotar. The blue just stands out a little more and I like that. But I do have both so not like I had to make a choice. At around $80 I don't see any down side to this watch.

I don't know about other watch fanatics, but I have "phases." I went through a military watch phase, a "rally"-style phase (in conjunction with "sporty" watches), and an aviator phase. I have mostly preferred chronographs. But I also like a clean face, and recently I started to go through a diver-style phase. I have always liked Seiko watches and recently stumbled on Seiko "mods" (modified) sports/diver watches. There's almost no cleaner face than a basic diver...analog, either automatic or quartz (battery-operated), with some typical feature such as screw-down crown for waterproofing the case. I invested in a few of those colorful Seiko mods (check the auction sites) and I love them, but I also realized I was itching for an automatic (not quartz) that was different enough from the Seikos to stand out (and maybe look somewhat more modern). All the modded Seikos usually come with dive-style black bands, which are fine, but I've swapped out most of them for NATOs -- I like the look, the color varieties, and the ease of switching. Since I have some Invictas in my collection, I checked for a low-cost diver -- and found this one. It uses the near-legendary Japanese NH35A automatic movement, it's bold like Invictas but at 40mm it's not overbearing. The face tends toward purple while the bezel is blue, and some reviewers don't like that, but I do. The unidirectional bezel is quite stiff and may need some silicone to loosen up. The screw-down crown can also be used to wind the watch (when it stops from lack of movement) and the winding mechanism is like butter. Holds a charge and as far as I can tell, accuracy too. The 3:00 o'clock date window has a magnifier. Not everyone likes that, but I find it adds character. Most of these divers are loosely based on the famed Rolex Submariner, I believe, and for quite a few thousand dollars less this one'll do the job and look pretty good on your wrist. I don't dive, so I won't be confirming its seaworthiness, but it has been resistant enough for me in daily use. The second hand has the "snowflake" tip, and the hour hand the "Mercedes." The minute hand is a long spear. The white motif is easy to read. The second hand also adds an Invicta eagle at the back end, and it doesn't bother me at all. The Invicta name is etched on one side of the case, but you have to be looking for it to spot it. I don't prefer metal bracelets (usually switch to leather or nylon - or neoprene - NATOs), but in this case I liked it and the solid clasp enough to keep it, for now. The clasp is also a bit stiff, but eventually loosens with use. Oh, and the screw back is transparent so you can see the movement and its bright yellow rotor, which isn't obvious to anyone unless you show them, but which is a nice feature to show off if they compliment the watch enough for you to want to let them in on it. Call it a conversation piece. Yes, Invictas have their detractors, and some of the larger models are too flashy or just too BIG...but this isn't one of those. It has character and presence, but it does not dwarf your wrist. It will look great on a sport band or a NATO, so feel free to rotate. Really, for well under $100, it's a swell addition to your collection, especially if you're into old-school movements (and this is a good one to have running things). Don't let the blue bezel and violet face bother you...it does depend somewhat on the kind of lighting, and there is a model with a more definitely blue face if you prefer. For the money, this is a perfect diver that doubles as a dress watch. Mine received a compliment on its very first day out...true story. If you want to swap the band, check out the nylon Art-Style brand with either black or silver buckles...at $9-12 each you can have several (22mm) to match your moods. A winner for budget collectors, like me. --W.D. Gagliani, author of THE JUDAS HIT

4years later, still looking and working perfectly! [last picture] Okay so this is my second indicts pro diver; coming from the quartz version and I’d have to say, I wish I bought the automatic instead. The coin edge dial is way better than the oyster edge. I have yet to try water resistance but some splashes here and there are totally fine. The movement is so beautiful and I think all automatics should have a class back. I think the yellow is a very nice touch as well. My only gripes are that the movement while a nice NH35a, the balance wheel doesn’t freely move as fluid as I’d prefer. It sorta stutters a bit. Maybe it’s due to design or just needs more lubrication. But still not complaining at this price point. Also, the bracelet is just cheap feeling. I love the two tone polish vs brushed but I think this definitely needs a butterfly clasp. Maybe invocation can offer that as an option to the pro diver models. Lastly, the case back might have minor gaps but I’m not sure if it’s hats my eyes tricking me or not. Overall, very nice timepiece, for the price point. Very classy and sporty. Goes well with anything.

TL;DR: Classing styling is great, lots of compliments. Keeps time very well. Water resistant in shower, pool, hot tub, and seawater spray. Minor scratches on the band after 18 months of wear in the military. I love this watch. First and foremost, after 18 months, this watch is going strong and is a mainstay of my watch collection. Not only is it one of my personal favorites for it's classic styling and striking color, but I get more genuine compliments on this watch than any other I own, especially by the other "watch people" I work with. Some background: This watch represents a couple of different firsts for me; first Invicta and first automatic watch. I was looking for a watch to replace one that I had recently fried while working around an RF energy source, so a colleague suggested an automatic. At the time, my primary concern was price, so I settled on Invicta due to the friendly price point (under $100, though prices drop all the time on Amazon), and the classic 40mm Sub-style profile was also enticing. This is not the only watch I wear, but for several months it was a 4-5 day a week wear for me, and now it's 3-4 days a week. As the pictures show, there are scratches on the clasp and the band, but overall, it's pretty good for the industrial environment I work in. Timekeeping is also exceptionally important in my line of work and I have had absolutely no issues with this watch keeping time, even if I don't wear it for a day or two; the watch has always been ticking if I put it on after the first day of non-use, but by the second day it has wound down, so the 40 or so hour power reserve seems pretty spot on. starting it back up has never been an issue; sometimes I manually wind it, other times, I'll put it on in the morning and reset it before I leave the house. I also make good use of the bezel to time various events at work, and the rotation still feels secure and accurate. As for water resistance, which is a contentious topic surrounding so-called diver watches, I have not gone to any extremes while wearing this watch. I have gone swimming with it occasionally, and been in a hot tub with it a few times, as well as the occasional shower. I've also been deluged with seawater while wearing it and I made sure to give it a rinse with freshwater when I was able to change my clothes. None of this has caused any issues with the watch. The only thing I will point out, which I didn't take note of until I had purchased this watch and read another review (and then forgot about until I was taking pictures for this review) is that the brand name is engraved on the outside of the case; another reviewer said it really bothered him, but it's not something I notice when I am looking at the watch. In fact, see the awkward angle I had to hold my wrist at to get a picture of the brand engraved on the side. It's a great watch, especially for the price point. I expect to continue to enjoy it for a long time.

Purchased this as a gift for my boyfriend and he really loves it! The style and quality are both phenomenal, especially considering the price. This has a good weight to it, so it both feels and looks expensive. I would say this is easily comparable to a watch that would cost you hundreds at a department store. The silver band with the dark blue diver face looks very classy in person and he receives tons of compliments on it when we’re out. It has held up extremely well and seems pretty resistant to scratches. I was very impressed with the packaging too. It came with a yellow locking diver box that says Invicta on the top and has padded foam inside with a cutout for the watch. It also came with a more traditional yellow clamshell type watch box. This box feels like a leather material and has a very unique wavy texture on the top. This also came inside of a yellow gift box with Invicta embossed on the top! This made it so perfect to gift as well as gave him a good place to store the watch.

Awesome watch for the price. Seiko movement. Solid construction. Classic sub size. I read some complaints about the bezel so I thought I would share that my bezel rotates very nicely at 120 clicks. It does not feel as good as a 120 click Seiko 5 diver that I have but it feels nicer than any 60 click bezel in my collection. I am very happy with the size, weight, color, construction, and movement of this watch. Why get a quartz when you can have a real piece of engineering for such a good price. The band has solid links versus the folded up ones of Fossil or other Fossil made brands like Micheal Kors. The clasp is double locking. The end links are hollow but I have never gotten solid end links at such a low price. I would say that the bracelets on these Invictas are way better than the competition at these prices. And the competition is going to give you junk quartz versus this trusted and reliable Seiko manufactured movement. I know that their is a place for quartz. I have a few and I love them. There is just something special about automatics and if you don't have one these Invictas are a great entry point. Many Invictas that I see are huge by my standards but this one is perfect size (for me). 40mm used to be considered large but even today it is by no means small on the average wrist. I think my wrists are about 7 inches. I took out 2 links and micro adjusted the band in. The watch which this pays homage to is the Rolex Submariner, made famous by Sean Connery as 007, and the dimensions of it match the classic size. I am a very happy customer and may get a few more Invictas in the future.

Over the past few months, I've ordered five Invicta Pro Diver automatic watches from Amazon. This model 9494OB has been the only problem-free watch of the bunch. It has been incredibly accurate for an inexpensive automatic watch. It gains time at the rate of a few seconds a day when stored dial up and loses several seconds a day when worn. According to my WatchCheck app, the daily average rate (worn a few hours but mostly stored) is between plus one second and minus three seconds. There are far more expensive automatic watches which aren't nearly as accurate. The unidirectional bezel on this watch is very difficult to rotate. Since I would never take an Invicta watch scuba diving, this isn't a problem for me. I actually prefer the bezel to be stiff since two of my other Pro Diver watches arrived with extremely loose bezels (I'm in the process of returning one right now). This watch came with a tiny blemish near the top of the bezel but it's not significant. I can't comment on the bracelet, as I immediately replace Invicta bracelets with a nylon strap. As plenty of other reviewers have noted, the bezel is blue but the dial is purple. Here's my advice concerning Invicta automatic watches: Only buy them when Amazon has them on sale. When the watch arrives, closely inspect it, especially the rotating bezel. Then, either manually or with an app, carefully check the watch's accuracy. It's important to check its accuracy on your wrist, not just stored. My first Invicta 8928OB kept excellent time stored dial up. However, when I checked its accuracy while worn, it erratically lost time at the rate of one to six minutes a day. A replacement wasn't much better. A third 8928OB kept acceptable time, but the return window closed before I noticed how extremely loose its bezel was. I "fixed" this by wrapping a few turns of waxed dental floss under the bezel. Not an ideal solution but one I can live with so long as the watch is sufficiently accurate.

This is a beautiful watch, and I have even received compliments on it from other New Yorkers. I originally rated it 5 stars. That turned out to be wishful thinking. I used this watch for almost four years (Nov 2019 to Jul 2022). Now I rate it 3 stars. For the preceding 9.5 years, I had worn the 4-mm-more-svelte Invicta 4863, which had a battery life of 2-2.5 years. I wanted to use a timepiece that would never need a battery replacement. I thought this 9094OB was going to be it, for life. (I have read that automatics do need to be serviced periodically.) When I first got the watch (Oct 2018), after it settled down, it gained +1.5 s/d (face up at night). After a few months, the watch started to lose about -30 seconds per day. At the 1-year mark (Oct/Nov 2019), suddenly it began to lose -200 seconds per day. I sent it to the IWSC in Sandy UT for service. First they cleaned/overhauled/replaced gaskets, charged me $98, and sent it back. The watch still lost time. I sent it back to IWSC. Then they replaced the movement (no charge). ($100 would pay for a decade of every-two-year battery replacements by a jeweler; perhaps a lifetime if you do it yourself.) Everything was great for a few months. Through Sep 2020, it lost less than -4 seconds per day. This changed in Oct 2020: in the first week, -19 seconds per day; in the second week, -25 seconds per day; in the third week, more than -30. I sent it back to IWSC. IWSC asked for $117 for a movement replacement; but I requested that they fix it under warranty, which they did. After getting the watch back, I found that face-down at night, the watch might slightly gain time, or lose less. After this discovery, from Nov 2020 to June 2022, the watch was always between -4 to +2 seconds per day. But now, in July 2022, the watch has been losing -11 seconds per day for the past two weeks. Can you guess where this story is going? I had hoped an automatic would be less maintenance than a battery-every-two-years watch; but it turned out to be more work, more expense, and less accuracy. Nice-looking watch; but I’ve now off-ramped to a battery-powered Casio Duro.

Tak, jak w tytule - kupiłem go za 308 zł, co stanowi 1/3 ceny oferowanej na stronach polskich vendorów tego typu urządzeń do odmierzania czasu. Oczywiście Amazon, jak zwykle, zapodał błyskawiczną i bezpieczną dostawę. Zegarek dotarł w moje ręce, zaś później na rękę w stanie nienaruszonym w eleganckim pudełku prezentowym. Po rozpakowaniu okazało się, że czasomierz różni się w kilku kwestiach z zamieszczonymi na stronie Amazonu fotkami. Przede wszystkim tarcza jest koloru śliwka węgierka (fiolet), zaś bezel w kolorze radosnego błękitu niezapominajek. Wiedziałem o tym z poprzednio przeczytanych opinii i jakoś mnie to nie razi. No i na rotorze nie ma żółtej naklejki z reklamą marki Invicta - jak dla mnie to może i lepiej, bo nie wiem, czy taka naklejkowa maskarada nie wpływała by negatywnie na pracę mechanizmu NH 35A. A sam mechanizm jest na razie super w odniesieniu do wahań chodu - na dobę przybliża mnie jedynie niecałe 4 sekundy do wieczności... Zaś sam mechanizm - super - stop sekunda, dokręcanie, funkcja szybkiej daty, dwukierunkowy wahnik i wreszcie dokręcana koronka, co przekłada się na wodoodporność mechanizmu. Wisienką na torcie jest łezka na datowniku, która pozwala mi wreszcie bez okularów zobaczyć jaki mamy dzień miesiąca. Zegarek jest stosunkowo mały ale taki właśnie chciałem ze względu na raczej damski rozmiar moich nadgarstków - ten rozmiar koperty idealnie komponuje się z moimi gabarytami (wygląda dyskretnie i akuratnie a nie jak 47 mm szpanerska cebula). Łatwo usuwa się ogniwa z bransolety i każdy może sobie dopasować według własnych upodobań. Zegarek jest stosunkowo ciężki ale bez przesady to nie smartwatch. Reasumując: za grosiki stałem się posiadaczem solidnego czasomierza, który może nie będzie moim podstawowym zegarkiem (mam ich sporo) ale na pewno nie spocznie na dnie szuflady w roli eksponatu albo alokacji majątku.

商品に凄く満足です

I have this watch for about 1 year now so the review is more than just an early impression. I like the look of this watch for what you pay for. At a distance it looks more like an expensive watch, though nobody would mistake it as a Rolex. Of course, close inspection would show the material and alignments not top notch but still of high quality. The watch is solid and have a good weight to it. These are the good things. As far as keeping time is concerned, the watch started at about losing a fraction of a minute per day to slightly more than 1 minute per day after almost 1 year of constant wearing. There is room for adjustment but I did not bother to take it to a watch shop to open it and have it adjusted. I just reset the watch every few days as there is no need for me to have a perfectly accurate watch. If you want a more accurate watch, quartz is the only way to go. My cell phone is the best for telling time. So taking into account of everything, I'm not unhappy with the Invicta as it cost only slightly more than Can$100 for a good looking automatic watch. By the way, it seems to keep the water out in normal use, including shower. Never tried diving with it so can't tell you how a Pro Diver it really is.

Saat fiyatına göre mükemmel diyebilirim. Ama malesef artık yurt dışından alışveriş yapmayalım diye elinden geleni yapanlar yüzüden Türkiye'den çok daha pahalı fiyata almak zorunda kalacağız.

Reloj muy hermoso. Me gusta como refleja la luz. El "ciclope" esta encajado perfectamente en el reloj y cumple su función de mostrar la fecha. El bisel giratorio es un poco duro de manipular, quiero pensar que con el tiempo y uso este se irá "aflojando" de tal manera que no haya mucha resistencia al girarlo. La calidad de los eslabones es buena y me gusta. El broche se siente un poco frágil pero cumple muy bien con su función y no tendrás el problema de que se desabroche. En mi caso no he tenido problema de que se atrase o adelante la hora, va justo. Deja mucho que desear la pasta luminosa ya que no dura mucho tiempo, pero se comprende ya que tiene que hacer recorte en algún apartado para ser más accesible económicamente hablando. Yo lo adquirí por mucho menos de los $1500 pesos mexicanos. Se me hace una muy buena compra en relación calidad-precio, y más siendo un reloj automático. En cuanto a lo último, uno mismo es el corazón del reloj ya que con el movimiento se le da movimiento al reloj. También con la corona manualmente se le puede dar cuerda.
