Summary: nice but not perfect
Comment: This watch is very nice looking and has a solid feel to it. So far its keeping very accurate time. It is a bit chunky so if you have overly small wrists it may be a little bit big but I have smaller wrists (6.75 inches) and I can get by wearing it. Three negatives, it is a hair puller and the edges could be a bit smoother and the clasp is impossible to open for me unless I use something sharp to POP it open. I have fingernails and it's still difficult to open. Overall a great watch for the money and the packaging is beautiful.

Summary: Great watch --with caveats
Comment: A very nice watch; however, I must mention a couple of issues:
1) The "Invicta blue" is somewhat purple-ish as others have mentioned. Specifically, in fluorescent light it looks blue, in sunlight it's blue with a hint of purple --but in warm incandescent light it's distinctly purple, especially on the dial. If this bothers you, then you might want to try the black face (8926) instead; no surprises there.
2) The luminous dot on the rotating bezel fell out(!) soon after I got it, as I was playing with the bezel. I don't know if it was a defective dot, or if the mounting is normally that flimsy? It seems to be just loose behind the bezel... I re-seated it and it hasn't been a problem since. My other Pro Diver (the 8926) has the same dot and I've never had a problem with it.
Despite those issues, I really like this watch. It's the same as the 8926 except for the dial/bezel color, and the "sunburst" reflective pattern on the dial. Personally I found the matte black on the 8926's dial a bit boring, so this watch was an improvement on an otherwise excellent design.

Summary: Great price, exceptional watch
Comment: This is one of the best watches you can buy at this pricepoint. The materials that make up this watch are high grade, and durable. This watch has a classic look to it, it is great as a casual watch, a watch to wear to work or for a night on the town.I highly reccomend this timepiece prior to this purchase I thought that Invictas were cheap look alike watches but my perception has been quickly changed. I think that this is a better or comparable watch in styling and finish than many of the "top brands" out their today. I liked this watch so much that I purchased another invicta soon after this one.

Summary: Don't see how they do it
Comment: I've had this watch for about a month and am amazed at the quality-for-price. I gave my 30-year old Rolex Explorer to my son as a present.
I bought this watch because I really miss the Rolex and the Invicta looks a lot like it.
I don't see how they can make a watch this good and sell it at that price. It's got the weight, looks and accuracy of a much more expensive watch. If it doesn't last 30 years, you can buy 20 or 30 of them for about the price of a prestige brand. It's a good-looking watch that doesn't betray its price. You have to look closely to tell it's not a Rolex or Omega. Performance-wise they are very close and it won't break your heart if you lose it or someone steals it.
It's better than I expected and I am delighted. (Sort of reluctant to praise it too much. Like discovering a good new restaurant, it's tempting to keep it a secret.)
