    What is this for?

      I like to think of these as cheap Seiko dive watches. If you were to buy a Seiko dive watch with the same movement (NH35A - Hand Winding & Hacking) it would cost a lot lot more.
      You need a big wrist to wear one of these though.

    • WatchNerd on 18/04/2021 - 10:59

      That's weird because the Casio MDV106 has free shipping with prime.

    • BartholemewH on 18/04/2021 - 11:42

      Yes it is. Relatively. Not sure how small your wrists are, but I think 42mm is more like it for maximum on a small mens wrist.

      Edit: Just saw your name is Mark, likely to be a mens wrist lol. Keep in mind that diver style are meant to be easily visible though.

      • AussieMark on 18/04/2021 - 17:10

        • TheRealCJ on 18/04/2021 - 19:26

          47mm is what you expect from most G-Shock watches. So if you feel that most of those are too big on your wrist, best to avoid this one.

    • piston3461 on 18/04/2021 - 13:53

    These are excellent for the price.

    Don't expect seiko quality which is 3x more in price though.

    For a homage diver suitable for a smaller wrist in a similar price range I’d look at something like a pagani design pd-1668 from AliExpress ($115 shipped)

    Same Seiko movement and exhibition caseback but with a sapphire crystal and without the engraving that Invicta love to put on the sides of the case.

    Or maybe the Pro Diver with a Swiss quartz for under $100 shipped ??

    • WatchNerd on 18/04/2021 - 16:38

      According to Invicta that model has a Quartz PC32 Movement which isn't Swiss & costs around $10.00.

      Never trust Amazon specs. A perfect example is one of Invicta's most popular models the 8926OB is stated as having a Swiss auto movement & in the bullet points it's also a Japanese auto movement, lol.

    • Hugh G Rection on 18/04/2021 - 22:11

      i only buy automatic watches, no quartz for me. quartz is more accurate, but cheap. also i hate changing my batteries, with an automatic watch you never have to worry about that.

        Not quite, the movement is made by Seiko & assembled in Malaysia, the other parts are probably made in China & assembled there.

        Most watches have some parts made in China, even Swiss.

  • shreddo on 18/04/2021 - 18:19

    Are these certified as Diver watches. Or is Grand Diver a cheeky way to use the term without needing it certified. I thought Divers watches always state the term Diver next to the water resistant specs and 200m is more standard on Seiko "Diver" watches so 300m is a bit bold as well.

    • ankor on 18/04/2021 - 18:39

      I'd be wary of anything that doesn't have independent third party verification.

    • TheRealCJ on 18/04/2021 - 19:44
      +1

      Well, this isn't a Seiko for starters, the movement is a Seiko-made movement, but the movement has nothing to do with water resistance; that all comes down to the case and seals, which are made in this case by Invicta.

      Generally a watch marked as "Diver's [x]m" means that it's been ISO rated, that is to say each individual unit has been pressure tested and certified to the pressure marked on the dial/case and conforms to ISO 6425

      If it says "water resist [x]m," generally that means that the particular model has been tested by the manufacturer and has been found to resist to the indicated pressure, but not necessarily the sample. Usually they do batch testing of a line, or sometimes they will individually test each watch in-house, but while it may survive in a pressure chamber to the rated depth, it doesn't mean it conforms to ISO 6425, which includes a whole range of pressure and torture tests including salt water, overpressure, and shock testing.

      Importantly, you're mistaking the "Diver's" mark for the model name. Any watch can name itself "Diver," but only those conforming to ISO 6425 can put "Diver's" on their dial, although of course for knockoff brands and the like there's little anyone can do. So this Invicta is called the "Grand Diver," but doesn't conform to ISO 6425, and so doesn't have "Diver's" marked on the dial; instead it's marked as Water Resistance.

        You're right as far as the iso stuff goes - the majority of diver watches aren't iso. I imagine the majority of people who buy divers aren't divers - they're popular because they are supposedly tough and have a useful, simple, easy to use timer. Check this out - a couple of reasonable budget non iso watches pressure tested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwNFy2A7rmU&t=13s

        And a freeze test, although the citizen watch is iso the others aren't https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6lfBi3cqsw

        Not surprisingly, one of the cheapest casio watches that is aged and well used blitzed it's stated pressure (haven't seen a casio that didn't) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfzjhe56utU&t=456s

          Oh absolutely, a watch doesn't have to be certified to be used as a Diving watch, and most watches from reputable brands are easily able to survive up to their rated water resistance, and in many instances far beyond. The certification is more of a legal standard and guarantee, like… You KNOW that a diver's watch will exceed the standard.

          And you're also absolutely correct that a Diving watch is as much a design standard as it is a practical one. For instance, the G-Shock Frogman is absolutely a Diving watch, it far exceeds 200m and is ISO certified, but most people wouldn't consider it one from a design standpoint.

          • poohduck on 19/04/2021 - 13:13

            @TheRealCJ: A couple of things I do consider important; for a dive watch I look for screw down crowns and a usable timer bezel. For watches in general (non digital) I want crown guards. So, my dive watches have screw down crowns and crown guards and usable timer bezels. Sapphire crystal would be a bonus, but not essential 😊

            • TheRealCJ on 19/04/2021 - 13:22
              +1

              @poohduck: Absolutely, I wouldn't ever go swimming beyond still fresh water without a screw down crown, but for those collecting for fashion reasons or simply because they like a watch, I don't mind it. My Seiko 5 hasn't got a screw down crown, although the case does have crown guards, and it's held up fine so far. I wouldn't go snorkelling with it, but I have another watch that I can use for that.

            • xoom on 19/04/2021 - 14:16

              @poohduck: my promaster has a screw down crown and crown guard. and the bonus sapphire crystal glass.

              reading the manual for the watch though it is rated for 200meter diver. as writen on the watch face. the manual says its not to be used for diving.

              my guess is they did not spend the money to get it iso tested but being citizen i trust that it is rated to survive the 200 meters it says on its dial.

    invicta is garbage. you buy invicta because you think you are getting a great bargain because the "retail price" is stupid high. I made this mistake, i thought i got a great deal and a better value rolex. Then i showed it to my friends that have a watch real collection and i was laughed at. gave mine away, and got a seiko. invicta is good if your friend don't really don't collect watches.

      The description has 2 links to Camel which shows the price history on Amazon. This eliminates any issue with RRP.

      I was going to holla at you because this is an auto homie. Was the Seiko the one you graduated to?
      Which model did you buy so your friends wouldn't laugh at you?

      I think that is kind of sad - you gave your well chosen watch away because your friend laughed at it. I would have just assumed he was ignorant and didn't know that particular model - was it the pro diver? It seems that many "watch collectors" have a chosen invicta or two. Here's a couple more links - there are still those in the original post too which I'm assuming you didn't look at; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv31ziA4ftI&t=85s https://www.youtube.com/c/PerthWAtch/search?query=invicta

      • TheRealCJ on 19/04/2021 - 13:29

        I'm seriously considering picking one of these up. I don't currently have a "big" watch in my small collection (my G-shock Mudman notwithstanding), and I wouldn't mind having one that's >45mm, these look nice and have a decent Seiko movement. For that kind of price too it would make a decent 'throwaway' watch that's tough enough for most tasks while still having a traditional look, as opposed to a tough-as-nails G-shock made of plastic.

        That being said, I think I'll wait and see if the Grand Diver with the yellow dial comes on sale at some point, I have a couple of blue-dialed watches already, and I'd like to have something different, yellow or orange sunburst maybe.

    I don’t get what the bitching is about. It is an excellent watch for the price point. Your not comparing apples with apples if your comparing a Seiko. Brought the black and gold two tone version that’s looks like the Rolex sub for my father in law and he loves it. Wore it overseas got compliments everywhere he went. Two years later going strong. Just brought this one for him as a daily driver.
