Great watch for the price!
I have several good quality watches but did not have an automatic, so ordered this Invicta based on reviews. I am very pleased with the watch. and it is now one of my favorites. The quality of workmanship and materials plus appearance are what you would expect in a much more expensive watch. Invicta watches are traditionally large and heavy, sometimes too much so, but his one is just right, having a fairly large face, solid weight and feel, yet the band is surprisingly comfortable. The watch looks good with just about any type of clothing. Additionally, most watches have too small of a date feature to easily read, but not this one! The design of the face makes it easy to tell the time and date at a glance! Something else I thought was impressive is that when I took it out of the box, with just that little amount of movement it immediately started running and has continued to do so without stopping. There was never any need to turn my wrist back and forth to get it to run or keep it running. I haven't yet determined how long it can run without wearing it because I haven't really taken if off except for overnight. It keeps excellent time as well. This is one of the best products I have ever purchased for the amount spent.

LOVE THIS MODEL OF INVICTA!!! HAS THE CASE & MOVEMENT OF A $500 TO $800 WATCH EASY!
i love these invicta divers that have either the citizen miyota auto movements in them or the incredible seiko NH35 auto hacking. if you look at numerous quality auto watches these days, both high capacity divers and military, you will find that if not swiss they will be using the NH35 seiko movement in them. it's incredible...most people find it keeps time as accurately as a chronometer, or nearly so. if regulated by a watchmaker, this movement will match the accuracy of a swiss chronometer. i've had that famous swiss brand that was the original Bond watch, and can tell you.so much for the movement. this grand diver is not the snorkeling sport watch invicta, which is a great piece you can usually get for just under $100. this one has the 300 meter/1000ft dive resistance, so it is indeed scuba/dive worthy. the case quality on these grand divers is superlative. again, you'll think you got one of those original Bond watches. looks wise too. invicta does not do a knock off of that iconic original Bond watch, but they have created what in the industry is called an 'homage' watch, which captures the essentials of the original, with a few styling differentials that are minor but make the piece not a knock off. rather, a style or type. and in fact rolex took their submariner watch from blancpain's 50s fathoms watch in the 50s, so don't let it get to you that this invicta has a similar style to another famous brand. that's watches.just know this is of the highest specifications for a timepiece that you could get for under $1500. and that pricepoint is not inflated. i've had plenty of swiss, as well as seikos, and this piece has one of the best seiko movements in it with a case construction equal to many seikos and mid-to-higher end swiss.i've about 3 of these in different styles. one with a cool wood dial. another i left on the bracelet (and this is one heck of a bracelet, with solid end links), and this one i just took off the bracelet and put on a commando strap with a bund back...very commando, Mr. Bond. it looks superb.everything else is great. the unidirectional bezel, solid and precise, screw in crown. hacking movement. ez set date. at $300, which is what they often sell these grand divers for, it's a no brainer. but if you look you can pick these up for at least 30% off, as i did here on amazon. you will not go wrong.NOTE: you hear fools talk about how their watches fogged up when they took them in the shower, or didn't keep accurate time when they wore it for a few hours a day. these people are dangerous to other watch enthusiasts. you never take a watch into a shower or hot tub, the heat expands the case and when it cools you will have H20 in your watch. ANY watch. and this is an auto watch...even the finest swiss chronometers will lose time if you wear it at your desk all day, or have it on for only a few hours. knocks on this xlnt timepiece like that are foolish.i'd get this right now if i were you. i'm me, and have 3 of these in other colors/dials already, and i got it. i love it.

Whenever I check the time, I have to smile.
This is a very handsome, classy, large dive watch in a unique and beautiful color.I actually bought the Invicta 3045 (the blue version of this one) first, and ended up returning it because I was not satisfied with its shade of blue, nor the color match between the face and bezel. I'm so happy I traded for this one. The color of this watch is hard to describe: the Invicta web site calls it "midnight" blue but it has a good dose of green in it too. I would call it a "dark teal" color. The color is very compatible with the greenish lume on the hands and face.The bracelet links are fully polished, which is another difference from the 3045, which has a mix of brushed and polished. The combination of all polished surfaces and the dial color make this watch look classy indeed. Bracelet construction is solid links, but nothing super special; it just does the job and looks sharp. Spring bars are nice and thick.The Invicta Grand Diver is a big, bulky hunk of a watch to wear. But I have an 8.2 inch wrist, so the size looks great on me. Those with smaller wrists might consider the smaller size Pro Diver model instead, which comes in the same color.My tired old eyes love the cyclops (date magnifier). Others may hate having a blip on the crystal. Proven Seiko automatic movement, how can you go wrong there?My only complaint about the watch is that its lume (the glowing stuff on hands and dial) is relatively weak, and the brightness of the hand and dial lume does not match.But all of this for a little over $100? This watch is a steal!

Fantastic watch.
I love this watch, it is a beefy boy for sure. The bezel markers are lined up perfectly and the cyclops is aligned correctly. I asked the seller prior to buying for the yellow rotor version of the watch and they fulfilled. Excellent customer service. I would highly recommend buying from this seller.
