 Well Satisfied w/ my 9310A Quartz |

I rec'd my new, Invicta 9310 "Swiss" Quartz watch yesterday from Amazon.com in one(1) business day as promised. And at no NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE.
Upon opening I was very impressed with both the look and quality. Band was easy to adjust by removing links.
I choose a quartz movement owning other autonmatics, incld a Rolex.
It has run for 14+ hrs since first set and remains right on-the-money in accuracy. Even the yellow box is impresseive..... ALL for $[...].
Why would ANYONE want to spend $[...] for a watch that doesn't keep as good of time, nor looks or feels any better?
Sincerely,
and Well Satisfied

| I think anybody that would spend $5000.00 plus for the likes of a Submariner should have a head transplant espically when great watches like this Invicta 9310 are available for about $100.00. I own a Prague in this same style and love it, but wanted something a little more well made. Steinhart has a fantastic blue on blue divers watch that sells for $450.00 (a real bargin) that many believe outclasses the famous "Rolex Submariner". Only problem is that I got impatient waiting for it to become available again (Steinhart is a first class operation)! Not knowing anything about Invicta except for liking the looks of their products, I did some research and liked what I saw and read enough to order the 9310 Swiss Quartz Dive watch. I really did want an automatic watch but after reading all the info about needing to take them to a jewler every 2 years to have them cleand and oiled I thought - who needs all that - excpecilly after checking into the cost of oiling running about 80 bucks a throw - no way! I just got a 5 year battery installed in another watch for a 20 spot and that sounds a lot better then the previous. The 9310 is a heavy well made time piece.If I didn't know better I would swear that it is worth hundreds more then I paid. The word "INVICTA" is engraved in the side of the watch and looks really cool. Don't expect to get the watch that is in this advertisement with the neat red wings on the face with "SWISS" written under it because Invicta has changed the style of the 9310...but thats OK because the wings that are on the rear of the minute hand that is constantly going around is done really well and adds a certain classy look. Im not much on worring about packaging but the new yellow wave box this watch comes in is pretty darn cool (a 12 dollar box if bought by itself)as is the included $8.00 polishing cloth! The company also includes the easiest to understand instruction booklet on the market today. Don't get sucked in by paying thousands for a name as no watch is worth all that as any honest jewler will tell you...save that money to put towards a new car and use your brain to rationalize getting a watch that in my opinion is just as functional as the high price boys and really nice to look at. I can't wait to get all dressed up with my wife and wear my new watch to go out...wearing this cool watch makes you feel like you got a few bucks rubbing togeather in your pocket. Oh yea...when you first open your watch check out how well this item is wrapped to avoid any scratches. The corded hanging tag on the watch is even classier then the one on a Rolex. You want a first class,cool looking time piece without breaking the bank then get this 9310 Dive watch with it's Beautiful Blue/Blue face and gold trim...you will not be disappointed!

| I bought this watch in Feb 2009. And for awhile I didn't like it. Clasp kept popping off ... And I kept it in my truck for like a 6-7 months. Then I found it again one day recently, fixed the setting for the bracelet, and now it fits well without a problem. I just had to get used to it, but it isn't really larger or heavier than "normal." I used to wear a Timex Ironman watch at work, and that one would feel so distracting when I type that I'd have to take it off. But the Invicta is PERFECT. The blue color is really to die for. I'm ready to try the 6693 with the white dial. It really is surprising to find so many interesting styles for a reasonable cost. Invicta as a brand is something unique yet I admit that I was skeptical at first. No buyer's remorse; and I understand now why so many want to be "collectors" and pick up several Invicta watches. I have the bug too now... |
Excellent watch, stylish and professional

I ordered this Invicta Watch for my brother as a x-Mas gift. He
found the watch high quality and a Rolex look alike. He compaired
it to other 9 watches and he placed the Invicta high.
A great buy. You will not be disapionted.

This makes the 5th Invicta watch I bought and I love it. This is fast becoming one of my favorites because of the comments I get on it. Everyone thinks it is a Rolex! It's nice having a watch that looks like it costs several thousand dollars but is less than $100.00.
I don't wear it all of the time becasuse it has a minneral crystal insted of saphire. I am hard on my watches so I worry about scratching the crystal on it. Other than that I love it!! |

| Reviewer: doughboy, |
Upon noticing this watch, I had a friend tell me how envious he was of me - "I guess you need to get your second kid out of the way before you get to buy your `Submariner.' I have been asking my wife if I could get one for years with no luck." Later that day I told him that I liked the Tag he was wearing. "Not as nice as yours" was his response (His Tag cost 12 - 15 times what MY "Submariner" cost).
I have only had this watch for several days, so my review is based upon that experience. I hope to update my review a couple of years in the future. I bought it because my ESQ of 9 years was with the repairperson being cleaned, is having some problems, and ESQ discontinued the model. I have owned Pulsar, Timex, Michel Herbelin, and an ESQ 200M diver and my review will compare my impressions against those timepieces, especially the ESQ.
PROs:
Appearance
Movement
Value
CONs:
Tight Bezel
Luminescence
Grinding screw-down crown
First, this is a STUNNING, beautiful watch! It looks better than the photos. Depending upon the light, the color changes from blue to purple to royal blue. The watch case has Invicta engraved on one side and looks elegant. The Invicta logo wings on the back of the second hand look classy.
The crown has a Swiss cross raised on it and is of the screw-down variety. It threads with a grinding, unnatural feel, and I fear it will mis-thread and fail over time.
The bezel is tight and rotates with great reluctance (an apparent Invicta trait). I use the bezel a lot and am disappointed I will be unable to use it much on this watch. The bezel on my ESQ is near perfect, and I am puzzled why Invicta cannot improve this aspect.
The luminescence is disappointing. When exposed to direct, unfiltered sunlight the lume is initially fine but fades within an hour. My ESQ puts it to shame.
The band (brushed silver links with polished gold links) is fine, looks GREAT, and does not pull my arm hair but does not feel as heavy or as high quality as my ESQ's band (I cannot image what the "folded link" bands on lesser Invictas are like). I have read in these reviews that the 23k gold plating comes off rather easily over time.
The movement is Swiss and seems fine. The second hand hits the watch's tick marks much more precisely than my ESQ.
Overall, I believe the watch is a great value. I chose it because I would have had to move to the $400 - $500 price point to find anything else close to what I liked and Amazon offered a free extended warranty. Although I would not have purchased this watch without the extended warranty, I may purchase other Invicta's without it depending upon my experience with this one.

nice watch

| Review Date: July 27, 2008 |
| Reviewer: TnSmitty, |
| I am definitely impressed. I have had the watch for a couple of weeks now and it keeps time perfectly and has withstood my constant abuse. I am really hard on a watch due to my avocations but this one doen't even have a single scratch up to this point. This is my second Invicta and I like this one even more than my previous more expensive version. It's simple and doesn't have a lot of useless functions that I don't need. I didn't realize it when I bought it that it is a Rolex look-a-like but after receiving several compliments I did a little research and found that it does in fact mirror a Submariner that costs several thousand dollars. The little bubble over the day of the month is a bit worrisome because it protrudes away from the face but I say this a great deal for the money! |
Great Value Everyday Watch

| Reviewer: D. Epstein, NYC |
Invicta is one of the premiere watch makers of affordable watches. A host of different styles and designs for every individual, make it a great brand for those looking for a bit of everything.
I purchased this as an everyday watch to wear to work. I wear it on the subway and in inclement weather. I have not had it long enough to determine long term durability, but it hasnt scratched in the few months of wear. It has held up as well as any of my other more expensive watches.
Positives:
For the price of around $100, the style can not be beat. It is a replica of the famous Rolex Sumbmariner, and quite a few have commented on this fact. It is an attention getter as the gold plating gleams on my arm.
The watch has a nice heft and size. Not overly large like a Tag Formula One, but not small delicate like a Cartier. The links are well spaced and there are no gaps. The screw on cap is a nice touch. This would fit well on regular sized wrist. Small wrists may not like the weight.
Nice invicta logo on the second hand is a nice touch.
The movement is pretty accurate. It is swiss.
The Negatives:
The clasp appears to be the weakest point of the watch. While it hasnt come apart, it feels like given long term use, may cause problems.
The fact that it looks identical to a Rolex, means u have to explain sometimes why you bought a "replica" Rolex. I just say its an Invicta, styled similar to a Rolex.
Dont expect it to glow in the dark. I dont use it if need to tell time in the dark.
Overall:
Overall I give it 4 stars. 5 for value and style, but knock it down a notch as it does try to look identical to a Rolex, instead of trying for a different unique twist like some of the other Invicta watchs I own. |
Invicta Style is Hard to Beat

| Reviewer: Peter Brackett, Atlanta, GA |
| This watch does not feel more expensive than it is, however it does *look* more expensive than it is. Invictas keep accurate time, wear well, and look great. I've read comments by others that this particular model compares visually to a Rolex Submariner at a tiny fraction of the price. While I never especially liked Rolex watches (what's so great about them?) I found this approximation to be both subtle and iconic. At this price, I decided it was worth expanding on my usual taste preference a bit, and I'm happy with it. Good luck... |
Great value for the price

Having chased Rolex wanna-be watches for about 20 years, I have to say that the Invicta 9310 is the best I have found. The continuous sweep second hand clearly announces that this is not a battery driven movement. The weight and feel of the watch are impressivly stout. I haven't taken it below 30 feet, but the one-way bezel worked just fine in the dive time tracking mode.
Issues: My particular watch runs a bit fast, gaining at least 1 minute a day. The little magnifying bubble over the date is a glue on item and I am always afraid that I might strip it off if I catch an edge on something. That's it!
Having worn the watch for a year, I am satisfied. None of the plating has worn off like Casio's did. So for my money, this is the Rolex look-alike for me. |

Great watch. Looks just like a Rolex model in every detail. Feels like a good hefty solid watch.

Nice Watch; but Over-rated by some...

| Review Date: November 1, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Dan R., Atlanta, GA |
| Invicta watches seem to get a lot of hype; and I suspect some reviews are "questionable" in some way. My watch keeps good time; the box was impressive; I've had it for almost a year and wear it two or three days a week. Quality is good for it's cost, so I would rate it a good value. Mine is Quartz, not a self-winding automatic as some reviewers suggest. The crystal is pretty good, I have few scratches. But people; this can't be compared with a Rolex, or Tag! Would I buy it again or buy another; yes. Would I be upset if it were stolen; as my Rolex was years ago; NO. The crown screw action is "weak" for DST adjustments. Kept in perspective; overall it's an OK $75-$80 watch. |
ProDiver Accuracy Challenged? Saga continues...

| Review Date: June 6, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Robert N Victa, Pittsburgh |
Having received my ProDiver 9310 from Amazon it was everything as expected. The watch is beautiful and the packaging superb. The second hand was hitting the tick marks exactly. I was all looking forward to wear the watch.
However, the watch was losing 6-8 seconds a day. I expected and require pinpoint accuracy from an Invicta. I have 2 other Invictas that are accurate to a second or two a week. These Invictas have the Japanese Quartz movement and the Invicta 9310 has the Swiss Quartz movement.
I struggled to keep the watch but decided to return with no issues to Amazon to their credit.
I am looking to purchase the Invicta 8935 which is very similar to the 9310 but has the Japanese Quartz movement. I am hoping this will maintain the accuarcy as I have seen on my other watches.
Update: I have now purchased the 8935 from ShopNBC. It was not available on Amazon.
The ProDiver 8935 is keeping accurate time with the Japanese Quartz movement. However it is not exactly precise in hitting all the tick marks as the 9310. The watch is somewhat smaller than the 9310.
The watch is very sharp and attractive. The blue dial looks quite different depending on the light source. It goes from dark almost black, purple to blue. The edges where the band meets the case is a little rough.
I would have preferred the ProDiver 9310 if my particular one had kept better time.
These Invictas are a good value for the money.
However, you should consider a Pulsar, Wenger or Swiss Legend via Amazon which are probably the best watches for the money in my opinion.
Update:
I recently gave my Pro Diver 8935 to my stepson when I decided to repurchase the Pro Diver 9310 from Amazon. I had thought the 8935 was a bit small to my liking and wanted to give the 9310 another "chance".
I received my new larger Swiss Movement Pro Diver9310 was disappointed that this time the watch was not hitting the tick marks precisely (hitting in between tick marks). The new 9310 does keep accurate time.
Another annoying aspect of the 9310 is in direct sunlight the dial appears distorted with reflections from the hands and the markers. This does not happen with the 8935.
I am not that satisfied with 9310 overall and would now only rate it 2 stars. The 8935 and 9310 are comparable except the 9310 is 40mm vs 38mm for 8935. If I could return the 9310 a second time...I would. |
Died after a year, service department unresponsive.

I got this as a birthday present a year ago. It's a good looking watch, feels good on the wrist, and keeps good time. It gets five stars for that, loses three for the recent problems.
However, mine died last week. It's not a battery- an independent jeweler has verified that- so that means something more expensive.
It carries a warranty, but they neglect to mention a small detail. Having anything done on the watch, including battery replacement, voids the warranty unless done by their service center. This would not be a problem, if they had more than 1 service center, and their minimum fee to change a battery weren't $33 and stated to take a minimum of 2-8 weeks. That doesn't include the price to ship it to Invicta.
Calls and emails to their warranty department have gone unanswered.
It's a nice watch, but hope you don't have any problems, because they won't be there to fix them.
Edited to add:
An independent watchmaker has verified it needs a new movement. Their price is $78. Invicta's would be $97 not including shipping there- $28 S&H plus 25% of the $275 MSRP. I paid less than that for the watch new. |
