Big, bold and masculine, the Invicta Pro Diver Automatic 6013 is an affordable luxury watch with classically styled features. This precisely constructed timepiece for men features a solid stainless steel case that's 43mm wide (1.69 inches). It has a black face with Tritnite luminous hands and markers, allowing them to glow for up to 20 hours in the dark. This watch also has a black solid stainless steel unidirectional rotating bezel with silver numerals and markings. In addition, this watch features a see-through exhibition back window, allowing you to view the movable parts in motion. Other features include anti-reflective mineral crystal, magnified date display at 3 o'clock, and water resistance to 660 feet (200 meters). The highly polished stainless steel band has a fold over clasp with safety.
Pro Diver Collection Plunge into any horizon using the steadfast guidance of the Invicta Pro Diver. Stylishly classic, internal workings are forged with variations of either Swiss chronograph or 21-jewel automatic movements and willingly navigate in depths up to 300 meters. Built with confident prowess, the fortitude with which these timepieces function makes the Pro Diver the quintessential in performance. Screw Down Crowns: Many Invicta watches are equipped with a screw down crown to help prevent water infiltration. This is most common on our Diver models. In order to adjust the date and/or time on such a watch, you must first unscrew the crown before you can gently pull it out to its first or second click stop position. To do this, simply rotate the crown counterclockwise until it springs open. When you have finished setting the watch, the crown must then be pushed in and screwed back in tightly. Not doing so will cancel the water resistance of the watch and will void all warranties from the manufacturer. Overall, this process should not require a lot of effort or force. |

 The first and the last Invicta I'll be buying |

It's a nice looking watch, that much is true. It's solid, subtle, feels like a quality piece of work. The extended 5 year warranty from Amazon is a lovely little bonus. All told, it cost me $70.
Unfortunately the watch itself and the warranty process are not as good as they appear.
I ordered my watch in November '09 and received it a week or so later. Nice out of the box I'll tell you. I registered the warranty and wore the watch daily - got many compliments.
In April the bezel popped off. Thankfully at home, so I found it and was able to glue it back on. If I'd lost it elsewhere, well, it'd be gone. Then in June, the second hand fell off - it just sat there, on the watch face, mocking me. Now I like second hands, they mark off another sweet moment in time, and having one floating loose in the case on the face is rather unacceptable. I haven't been wearing the watch to dive deep-sea wrecks or parachute off mountaintops. I wear it to work, I wear it at the pub, I wear it around town, nothing too exotic.
Invicta has an online system for e-service. It does not promote two way communication. The watch was shipped to Florida, that cost $30 for registered mail. Invicta also wants $28 to ship it back to me, which I've paid. Now I wait. And wait. Emails to Invicta fall into a black hole of silence.
I've been in touch with Amazon and they have exemplified customer service and satisfaction. Originally I wrote to let them know that one of their vendors seems to be suffering some QC issues. Amazon has since followed up and ultimately refunded me the price of the watch. Given that the repair costs have essentially meant buying it twice, I really appreciate their attention to this. But of course, that's Amazon for you. It's not their product, or their problem really, but they're taking ownership.
Now if only Invicta could do the same...
I'll continue to shop with Amazon, but I won't be buying anything from Invicta in the future. |
Nice looking watch but I'm not very happy with Invicta

Let me start by saying I'm fascinated with mechanical, moving things and I like watches. Automatic watches fulfill two desires for me. Now for some background. My daily watch has been inexpensive Casio, Pulsar, etc. I recently got the itch to finally buy an automatic watch for myself. I started with a Vostok. It's an inexpensive Russian automatic that turned out to be pretty good.
About the same time I started eyeing the Seiko 5 sport watches. They get good ratings but cost a bit more money. I should mention that I'm on a school teacher's budget so Rolex, Tag Heuer, and Omega is out of the question. That's when I came across Invicta. They seemed to get pretty good reviews and there is wide range in cost. I thought I should be able to find something to fit my budget.
The last part of the puzzle is size. I am of ample girth and have trouble finding watches to fit my wrist. It seems like Invicta makes several watches that would fit just fine.
Now let me get to the point. I saw this model Invicta for a good price plus I got 25% off. I decided to go for it and treated myself to my second automatic watch. It cost me only $56.00 with tax and shipping. When it arrived I was very excited. The watch is beautiful, I loved the view back, the whole fit and finish seemed great. I took pride in showing off the watch and having people guess what I paid for it. They were always way over priced. On top of that, I loved the ample size of the watch. The band is comfortable and fits my wrist perfect. The large case seems perfectly proportioned to my body.
Now the bad news. After owning the watch for about 2 months I looked down one day and noticed the black ring on the bezel with the numbers had popped off the watch. I hadn't been wearing the watch every day, I was alternating with my Vostok to keep them both wound. I'm kind of hard on watches but this didn't seem right.
I decided to try having a local watch repair guy glue the ring back on. He tried but he wasn't able to get the ring to sit down in the groove the way it was supposed to. It only cost me $10.00, I wasn't too disappointed. Next, I decided to send it back to Invicta, maybe they'd cover it.
Things start to go worse. Invicta up front asks you for a $25.00 money order to ship the watch back to you. That's amazing! I sent it to them for only $14.00 at the local FedEx/Kinkos. I can't believe a large company with a shipping department and a commercial account with a large carrier has to charge so much more than what I paid at Kinkos. Plus, this makes the cost of the watch go from $56.00 to $81.00, plus another $10.00 for the botched repair makes it $91.00.
Today I get a call from Invicta, they got my watch. The bezel is not covered by warranty. They reason that it does not affect the function of the watch, it's just cosmetic. I guess they don't think it matters that the watch looks like crap now and no one would be caught dead wearing it that way. They want to charge me $14.00 for a new bezel. I tried complaining and told them I would not buy any more Invicta products. The lady on the phone just read me the same stupid paragraph from her manual about the bezel not being under warranty.
Now, my $56.00 watch costs me $104.00. Now, I think Invicta watches are cheap crap and they are not supported by their company. I will not buy any more of the products and I will advise everyone I talk to against buying anything made by Invicta.
I strongly believe that you reap what you sow. If a company treats me like dirt, that's how I'll treat them. If you want a good automatic watch at reasonable price, avoid Invicta and buy yourself a Vostok or Seiko. |
You get less than you pay for...

| This watch looked and seemed great right out of the box, with the look and feel of a much more expensive watch. After approximately a month the lens was badly scratched, then about two weeks later the lens chipped and the bezel/dial popped off. As a side point, the glow of the hands and numerals fades much quicker than one might imagine for something that should retain glow for 12hrs off of 2hrs sunlight, I never achieved those results, more like 4hrs from two. The movement seems fine though, and the fit and feel were nice. I would not purchase another Invicta, there are much higher quality watches in this price range, even though they look a lot less fancy. If you are looking for something to wear rarely and with great care that looks good and costs little, these watches are it. Not for daily use by anyone with a greater than sedentary lifestyle though. |
good watch

I purchased this watch about four months ago and it is a great watch. I use it when travelling as it keeps great time, glows in the dark, is watterproof, and at this price, I won't shed a tear if someone steals it on the beach.
It looks solid, keeps good time and wears well on the wrist. At a distance, a waiter actually mistook it for a Rolex. If you want a solid automatic at a reasonable price, this is a good selection. |

I saw this watch and price online and had to give it a try. this watch is actually well made and an excellent value for the money. I enjoy the good looks of this watch as well as the accurate movement. I am now searching for another Invicta for my collection.
