Looks like it cost many time more
By Rod R. Moore
I am extremely impressed with the feel, look and general quality of the watch. It contains the Citizen Miyota 21 jewel automatic movement that is a true workhorse for a fraction of the price. The comfortable stainess steel pinned link bracelet is worth the price of the watch. It has rounded flexible brushed steel wrist links The foldover adjustable double safety clasp uses pins as well. Can easily be mistaken for a watch costing much more. The Mineral Glass crystal is scratch resistant - but not as good as a sapphire watch face, but is less prone to chipping or shattering than a sapphire crystal. The display watchback is also mineral glass - displaying the undecorated Miyota automatic movement. It look as stylish and run as well as my other watches, and, I receive as many comments if not more from the Invicta's. It is a great looking watch! Good value, accurate and stylish if you like the Sub' look. This is a good day-to-day knock about watch that still looks better than the quartz stuff in the same price band.

A tale of two (or three) Invictas
By Mebaman
A few things anyone should know before purchasing an Invicta. (1) Customer Service and Quality Control is spotty and (2) the Pro Diver can be an unbelievable value if you get one that is up to spec. About ten years ago, I purchased the old version of the 9210 (with the coin bezel). When I got it, I noticed that the cyclops (magnifier over the date window) was slightly misaligned. I sent it back to Invicta for warranty service. When I got it back, it didn't look like much had been done to it, other than the appearance of a new tool mark on the back of the case. Whatever - the scratch wasn't visible during wear, and the misalignment of the cyclops was slight, so I lived with it for awhile until someone showed me how to remove the cyclops (which actually seemed to improve the appearance of the watch).The watch served me well for five years as a near-daily wearer (I even swam with it) until I dropped it on a tile floor, causing the crown and stem to pop out (this would be "user error"). I took it in to a local shop for repair but was informed that the price of repair would likely run close to the price of a new 9210 and that I should probably just order another one from wherever I got it. I shelved the 9210 (never threw it away), and relied upon my other watches with the idea that I'd pick up another 9210 if I spotted one at a good price.Fast forward five years, and I saw this at a very good price (about $30 less than what I paid for my first 9210) and had to pick it up (free shipping too!). The new version features a scalloped bezel, larger numbers on the bezel, and some "wingdings" on the second hand. Side by side comparison reveals that the dial is a lighter, more silvery color than the metallic gray dial of the earlier 9210. Otherwise, the watch is very similar to the 9210 I purchased 10 years ago. As a plus, the cyclops appears to be aligned correctly (still debating on removing it). The yellow Invicta box is a bit smaller than the old boxes they used to use, but is still impressive at this price point(but you have to like yellow vinyl). You would be hard pressed to find an all-stainless watch with an automatic movement that looks as good as this watch for under $100.That's the good. Now here's the bad. QC (quality control) with Invicta product (in my anecdotal - i.e., not empirical - experience and opinion) is not always the best in the business. When I purchased my 9210 10 years ago, I also purchased one of its sister pieces for my dad (another pro-diver, but with a blue dial and bi-tone gold and silver bracelet). While it looked premium at first, some problems developed: (1) the watch did not self-wind very well (my dad had to manual wind daily to get it to work), (2) the bracelet had a tendency to spontaneously come apart (loose friction pins), and (3) the gold plating started to flake after a year (didn't look good). Eventually, my dad found it too much trouble, and, after a few trips to the repair shop and a few years of wear, he scrapped the watch. Also, a friend of mine purchased another pro-diver (black dial, all stainless pro diver) about the same time I got my first 9210. His worked well at first, but after a few months of wear, the bezel insert fell out (this was easily repaired with superglue). Also, after a few more years, he had the same problem my dad did with the bracelet coming apart (loose friction pins again). He similarly eventually scrapped the watch. In neither instance did anyone feel like it was worth sending the watches back for warranty service (personal preference, but again, my one experience with Invicta CS was disappointing, and for a watch that costs as much as an accessory watch from a department store, the hassle doesn't seem worth it).The failures of my dad's and my friend's pro-divers never occurred in my first 9210 (was I lucky, or were they unlucky?) and hopefully won't happen to the 9210 I just purchased (which, so far, appears to have been fitted and finished properly). I like the 9210 because it's relatively cheap (usually), all stainless with a solid stainless link bracelet(corrosion resistant with no gold plating to flake off), has no bezel insert (one less item to fail on the watch), and costs about $8,700.00 less than another watch I like (stylish). As long as someone at the factory did a reasonable job of putting the dial, hands, and Miyota in the case, there's a decent chance the watch will work as advertised. Still, I would not rely on Invicta customer/warranty service to fix any problems though (research it yourself if you don't agree) and would be wary of lemons. Invicta is a "value-brand" and can be enjoyed as such as long as you know what you may or may not be getting into.

The picture doesn't show the actual look
By Cando
The actual product looks OK, but it is a bit different from what the picture here shows. The bezel is more shining and lacks the luminous dot at the 0-minute position. The dial is very grey.The bezel does not turn as easily as #8926.
