Summary: Fantastic Watch Value!
Comment: I have had my 8926OB for aprox. a week and I am extremely pleased with the watch. The looks and Quality are excellent,solid stainless steel case and band lugs,substantial weight and feel,mineral crystal and movement for about a hundred bucks it is a true bargain.
I've owned a Rolex silver&gold Datejust for 18 years and had it serviced once at about $200. and now it needs another service (quit working) at a cost of $250 to $400 dollars. to me this is ridiculous and I decided to try the Invicta and I am glad I did. Im not saying this is Rolex Quality but its closer than you would think and at a $5,ooo. dollars savings the Invicta makes a lot of sense, in fact I have ordered another model #3546 and I will probably purchase additional Invicta's in the future. And for all those people who said it did not keep good time ie: loses a couple a minutes a week etc. so did my Rolex, Its an automatic movement idiosyncrasy.
Two thumbs up for Invicta and Amazon.

Summary: Great watch for the price
Comment: This is a great watch considering what you pay for it. It's a little small for my taste, but you can read the hour easily. The specs says it's 43mm, but mine is 39mm. It runs a little fast, like a couple of minutes a week. The bright hands lasts at least two hours in the dark (they last more, but with much less bright).
The packaging is awesome.
The transparent back is great.
The self winding system works great.
Finally, I'm happy with this watch.

Summary: watch reviewer
Comment: received watch very fast and it is just great. Look so much like a rolex submariner, but thousands of dollars cheaper. (definitely lighter in weight though). I could not be happier with it and for only about $100. It keeps time great and well worth the price.

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I am a bit obsessed with watches and I am on the verge of getting my first high end watch. I have never been drawn to Rolex with the only exception being the submariner and sea-dweller. But even then they didn't quite do it for me (too over priced, too cliched) so I have been considering Omega and some others. Enter Invicta, I bought this on a whim after carousing the watches on here, I thought it looked good obviously the same as the submariner and it was automatic automatic.
I felt apprehensive but what the heck it was cheap enough. It came very quick and it looked great, my only initial problem was the bracelet the second enclosure was loose but I gave it a tap with the hammer and it is fine.
I have had it a day now and it has not lost any time, it seems to run fine and this is off the bat. I am hoping this stays the same. One thing the Invicta has over a Rolex is the exhibition back, even though the movement on this is not finished off to top quality, it still looks cool.
Anyway after wearing this for a day I think I am going to save up for a submariner or maybe I will upgrade to the more expensive Invicta that sells for 300. Either way I love the style and think I may of found my perfect watch, but hey I feel like that every time I get a new watch.

Summary: The "Legend"
Comment: I own the 8926 with the scalloped bezel, which I think is a wonderful watch. It looks great and keeps acceptable time, which is all you can expect from any automatic movement, regardless of what you pay for it. Even, the most expensive automatic doesn't keep appreciably better time, as far as I'm concerned.
Those who have higher expectations for the accuracy of this watch have unrealistic expectations, in my judgement. The Citizen Miyota movement in this watch is a tried and true workhorse of the industry. While not the most accurate, it is certainly one of the most durable. In an age when the exact time is so easily available almost everywhere, the few seconds it takes to adjust this watch every week or so is nothing to complain about. It seems the less accurate my watch to a point, the less I worry about the accuracy of my watch. I own about 13 quartz watches, by the way.
In the watch collecting community, this watch is called the "Legend," because it put Invicta on the map and that's basically why I wanted it, although there are a couple of design differences from the original 8926, from what I understand.
The band is different than the scalloped bezel model that I own and the 8932 that I used to own, in that the links are thinner and the middle links are more rounded on this model. This makes the watch lighter than the scalloped bezel model, but it still has plenty of heft.
I'm proud to add it to my collection.

Classic styling and high performance add up to an outstanding sport watch for your land or sea adventures. This automatic watch, from Invicta's Pro Diver series, places a large round stainless steel case on a robust triple link steel bracelet. The black dial is designed for quick and easy read-off, even in low light conditions. It offers three-hand function with Tritnite-coated luminous hands and hour markers and a magnified date display at the three o'clock mark. The dial is capped with a resilient mineral crystal and framed by a black unidirectional rotating steel bezel with coin edge detailing. This watch is driven by Japanese automatic movement, which is visible through the see-through skeleton caseback. It is rated water resistant to a full 200 meters. About Invicta
For well over a century-and-a-half, Invicta (the name is Latin for "invincible"), has been producing fine quality Swiss timepieces and making them available at a surprisingly affordable cost. The company traces its roots to the small Swiss village of La Chaux-de-Fonds where, in 1837, founder Raphael Picard began turning out modestly-priced pieces of exceptional quality, and found himself competing successfully with higher-priced Swiss watchmaking giants. Invicta's reputation grew steadily over the years. The company nearly faded from view in the early 1970s, when the new quartz watches were all the rage, but descendants of the Invicta family reestablished the brand in 1991, and its popularity among watch collectors flourished. True to its roots, Invicta continues to create beautifully designed and expertly crafted watches, using Swiss-made movements and high-quality materials like anti-reflective sapphire crystals. Among Invicta's innovations are the first combination platinum and 18 karat gold watch ever produced and a limited edition Subaqua Noma watch featuring a genuine meteorite stone dial. With a diverse collection ranging from its elegant Vintage 1948 and Objet d'Art watches to its high-performance Pro Diver series, Invicta continues to prove its reputation as an invincible player among fine Swiss watchmakers.
