"sporty, stylish, swiss"

i have two other invicta diving watches, both automatic. they were such a good deal, i jumped on this when i saw it for under $100. this is great quality for the price, not much to say, other than it's lighter than my gold-plated invicta and looks awesome. the black ionic plated steel makes it sporty, but it's also kinda elegant with the rose gold bezel. this model is pretty cool since it doesnt obviously borrow from a rolex design, but seems rather more uniquely invicta, if that makes any sense. a real head-turner that looks like a $400 watch. sssh! dont tell anyone! 5 stars

"You can't beat Invicta watches."

I am a watch freak. I love them all from the $2.00 ones to the "real" Rolex's. The Invicta watches are on my wrist most of the time since I
am proud to wear them and don't feel like I am just wearing a name.
This watch (Pro Diver #4860) is very enjoyable to look at. It keeps time too!!! 5 stars

"You get what you pay for."

This decent-looking Rolex knock-off looks a LOT better in picture than what you actually get to hold.

Liked:
- Slim-mer dial than looks.
- Light-weight.
- Screw-down back and crown.
- Black finish hides the Invicta etch on the side.
- Are swiss movements better than others? What exactly is a "swiss movement"?

Didn't care for:
- Stamped steel used for the end-links!
- End-links extends half a link longer than the clasp. So you're never going to have a wrist-hugging bracelet!?
- Screw-down crown grates.
- Rose-gold my a**. This is copper!
- Light-weight.
- Bracelet rattles.

I had read about Invicta creating a place for itself among frugal watch enthusiast, but frugality is debatable. My Nautica watch (same look as #N15006G but dual-time inner dial) has a beautiful rose-gold finish and dial and I paid about the same as this watch for it from my local outlet mall.

I'll suggest you spend your money on a Nautica, Kenneth Cole or Guess watches to get better quality for about the same price.

Just be aware that you are paying for is slightly more than what you're gonna get and I paid only 25% of the listed retail here! Yes, not a typo, 75% discount.

*** This watch is not a deal. ***

EDIT: The black "paint" on the crown is coming off and that's after adjusting the time twice! Not a good sign of things to come. Now how do I bring this review down to two stars?? 3 stars

"Great looking watch at a great price"

Set the watch to the atomic clock, and though I've had it for a little less than a month, it hasn't lost or gained a second yet. The watch looks great and has a nice latch over the metal clasp. Had to adjust tne length of the band by removing three links, but was accomplished with minimal effort. 5 stars

"Great watch, not great customer service"

Great looking watch, amazon did a great job sending and price was awesome. Could not get anyone at Invicta to help me with sixing the watch band. No instructions, no follow-up, nothing. Returned the watch. 4 stars
