Invicta Men's 3044 Stainless Steel Pro Diver Automatic Watch

This one of the lowest priced Invictas and arguably the best value for a watch on all of Amazon. The photos in the Amazon description are not very accurate. The watch is far better looking in person. The bezel color is a deep lustrous cobalt blue. The watch face while not as pearlescent as a real Rolex is also a deep indigo or cobalt blue depending on which way the light reflects off it. The closest photo to real was taken by a reviewer named Santi and can be found at the top of the reviews under "Reviews with images". One of the earlier photos show that the bezel color used to have green in it. No longer. The current shade is that perfect cobalt blue, contrasted by gold (painted) numbers. I have a medium large wrist. Just slightly above average. I took two links out and came in one pin on the bracelet adjustment. Do NOT buy a plastic resizer. I bought one and threw it out so you don't have to. I did also buy this resizer tool which worked perfectly, first time. No bent pins. https://www.amazon.com/Selizo-Watch-Remover-Removal-Sizing/dp/B07H5F43N3/ref=pd_sbs_7/132-91 I add a drop of BLUE or Purple Loctite to the end of ANY pin I remove and then put back in place. The movement is NOT Seiko or Japanese. Those movements alone cost over $100. The movement in the watch is a CLONE of a Japanese movement with 100% made in China parts assembled in Malaysia in open rooms full of outside dust. How much dirt you have in your movement depends on the weather that day. How well it keeps time is a crap shoot. My first Invicta, a SS 40mm Submariner clone had a filthy movement and could only be adjusted to be a minute slow each DAY. The cost to clean and correct that is more than the cost of the watch. I didn't like the watch anyways. Too small. I got lucky with this Grand Diver. It seems about only 15 or 20 seconds slow per day. Much better. You don't have the movements cleaned after several years. You use the watch until it fails, and then purchase a brand new one. Tips to keep your watch looking nice. A Rolex can withstand massive abuse and neglect and be polished out like new (for a price $$$). Once the gold plating it worn off or scratched on these INVICTAS, time to purchase a new one. BUT, if you don't wear it in your sleep or shower with it, or wear it while working on your car, it can last. WASH your watch. Human sweat and oils can be quite caustic to Invictas. ESPECIALLY plated versions like this. I WASH my watch in running hot(ish) water every couple of days. Every surface. Use diluted dish detergent. No need for a brush if washed regularly. I just use my fingers. rinse well and BLOT dry with a good paper towel like VIVA. Do NOT rub dry and polish with microfiber. That action will only scratch and wear the finish faster. Blot with a high quality paper towel. The hot water helps dry the entire watch also. SPIN the bezel when washing occasionally or it will collect dirt and debris and freeze up. Trust me. I have been doing this to inexpensive, plated watches successfully for many years.

I absolutely LOVE this Invicta Grand Diver Watch Model Number 3047. I am new to the Invicta Enthusiast Movement. This past Christmas I received my first Invicta Big Faced Watch from my son. It was a Stainless Steel Watch with Blue and Black face and bezel (Model Number 20478). I LOVED having a Big Faced Watch at that point and within the past 2 months, I have purchased 3 more Invicta Big Faced Watches and love each one. I now have a total of 4 Invicta watches and I will most likely be buying more. They are just such beautiful machines that I love wearing. This Stainless Steel Automatic Grand Diver Model 3047 with its Green Bezel and Black face is so stunning. The contrasting colors make reading the time on this watch a breeze. It is not cluttered with intrusive designs or dials and it is not too big at 47mm. With that being said, it is much larger than any Timex or Casio or Seiko that I have ever owned yet I have 2 more Invicta's that are actually larger at 50mm. This Model 3047 has a 47mm case. So it is a little bit smaller than my others. The magnifier on on the dial window is an addition that is much appreciated as you get older. The dial window is made of a durable Mineral Crystal. The hands and time indicator marks have a luminescence that actually does glow in the dark. Unlike many other watches that I've owned. The band bracelet was very easily sized with very inexpensive tools that you can obtain over the internet sites. I re-sized my watch band myself and I am not a jeweler or watch repair person. It came out perfect with no struggle at all. The Green color is not loud, vivid or trendy. It is quite classy and adds just a splash of color to subdue any boringness that become the norm with the run-of-the-mill ordinary silver add black watch that everyone has. The Stainless Steel watch case is has a partial satin finish and a partial polished mirror finish. The case has the really cool Divers Helmet molded into the stainless steel case at both the top and bottom. This signifies that it really is a genuine divers watch and is capable of withstanding dive depths of approximately 1000 feet. Although most of us will never dive to those depths and the rest of us will never dive at all, the dive depth rating signifies the durability of this watch. And we “all” want a product that is as durable and tough as possible. This watches bracelet is another work of art. The center links have a mirror polished finish and the outer links have a satin finish. Very Classy and contrasty. I Love It ! The Green Bezel actually does rotate in one direction only. This is to monitor air supply for the real divers that use this watch for its actual intended purpose. There are videos and instructions all over the internet that explain how to use a watch bezel. Very easy. My VERY Favorite feature of this watch is that it incorporates the VERY RELIABLE and very accurate Japanese made Automatic Seiko Movement – The Seiko Movement Model Number is: NH35A – Yes this watch has the beautiful styling of Invicta and it also has the reliable Seiko Movement.....In case you didn't know, an Automatic Movement never needs a battery replacement because it does not operate on battery power. The motion and movement of your wrist is what winds this accurate watch up. You can also wind the watch by hand by turning the crown. So I guess you can consider it a hybrid ? I'm not sure, but that makes sense to me. Speaking of the incredible Seiko Automatic Movement, the watch manufacturer did not want to hide this special feature from you or your admirers, so engineered into the back of the watch is an Exhibition Back which actually has a window on the back of the case to view the decorated yellow pendulum swinging back and forth to wind your watch. Again, no boringness here. Lots to look at and admire about your new watch. Another very nice feature of this beautiful watch is that it has a screw down crown. This is one of the reasons it is rated to dive so deep. Because screwing down the crown stem actually seals things up more effectively than pressing it in. With this watch, you can actually stop the second hand so that you can adjust the time to the exact second. This Grand Divers watch with its black face and green bezel is not heavy at all. In fact, it wears so much more comfortably than any of my lightweight and small Timex watches. Yes it is much larger and much heavier than your normal sized watch, but the way the case and high quality bracelet was engineered makes for a very comfortable fit and the weight and size is actually un-noticable. I am NOT a large man. My wrist diameter is 7 inches to 7 and a half inches. So I have attached pictures of this watch and what it looks like on my 7 to 7.5 inch wrist. In my opinion, it fits and looks perfectly. The style these days is the Big Faced Watch. So this size is very attractive. Wear this Beautiful Watch with a pair of jeans or wear it with a Black Suit to a business Meeting or a Wedding. This is a stunning piece of jewelry. Hopefully I have addressed all of your concerns or questions that you may have had. In case I may have missed something, I have added a few pictures to my review so that you can see exactly what the product I have received is like without viewing some modified, or professionally photo-shopped images that make the product appear like more than what you will receive. These attached pictures are raw out of my point-and-shoot camera with no editing at all. So enjoy ! Can you please do me a favor ? If you have simply enjoyed reading my review or If my attached pictures and description has helped you in any way, could you PLEASE mark my review as "Helpful" please. I would REALLY Appreciate that and it helps encourage me to keep writing reviews of my purchases… Thanks :-) . . .

This is my 3rd Invicta. I first got onto them with a $99 special that I loved the quality of. Back then I wasn’t savvy enough to check the seconds lost or gained per day before unwrapping the watch from packaging. I was just lucky. Was lucky on this 3rd one as well. It looks really good, weighs enough that you know it’s on your wrist and something I haven’t seen in many reviews on watches but comfort is important since it’s going to be in your body the good part of your waking hours. This watch fits my wrist well and really comfortable to wear. I was lucky in that this one gains about 4 sec a day. That good as after a week I just hack the second hand to stop it and let real time catch up. My movement is enough to keep it wound up. The glass has scratched once but it’s small and not noticeable. So it’s not sapphire crystal quality but for $159 I am amazed at the value. I’ve taken into the sea a few times and it’s water tight. Just swimming and splashing about. I rinsed it immediately afterwards at the beach rinse off taps. The bracelet is durable and looks good. Easy to adjust to size (2 links off one side and 1 link off other for me - see pic). It has scratched a minor bit around clasp but the main body of the watch is still pristine (after about 3 weeks). At the end of the day it’s my EDC. If 2 of my family members have commented on it then that’s notable! I have to many watches already but if it came up at this price again - I’d buy another one as a gift!

Soy entusiasta de la horología, tengo varios Seikos y Tag Heuers, Citizen, etc. Mis comentarios serán lo mas objetivos posibles. Un gran reloj a un precio increíble, la calidad con la que está construido, así como también los materiales, son de primera. Sin duda parece un reloj muchísimo mas costoso. Además es muy preciso, -1 un segundo al día, que para ser un reloj mecánico automático es algo espectacular. Por el tema de la resistencia al agua, sin problemas, se ha sumergido en albercas y el mar, sin contratiempos, y próximamente tengo planeado usarlo en buceo recreativo, a profundidades de 120 - 140 pies, obviamente esperamos un buen desempeño. Las cosas malas, el bisel, aunque tiene un accionamiento adecuado, y está bien alineado, tiene un poco de juego, algo no muy grave, pero no debería tenerlo. El lumen que tiene aplicado en los indices y en las manecillas, no es muy bueno que digamos, dura un par de horas cuando mucho, y aunque es mucho mejor que el del invicta Prodiver, no debemos olvidar que el inconveniente del lumen débil, es algo que afecta a todos los relojes de la marca. El reloj es grande y pesado, esto debe tomarse en consideración, pues en algunos casos de muñecas muy delgadas, podría lucir desproporcionado. La conclusion, es altamente recomendable.

I researched this watch for my Christmas treat to myself after I watched a lot of Invicta videos on the Grand Diver range. I've never ever considered an automatic watch or the Invicta brand before but the stand out looks of this model caught my eye. Upon receiving and wearing this Grand Diver I was not disappointed with this timepiece, I just love the yellow coloured face dial and the smooth movement of the second hand, it's a chunky design which suits a real divers watch look and I also purchased when it was at a super low price! The 'Invicta' and 'Grand Diver' side case inscriptions plus the divers helmet branding on the face and stainless steel watch band makes this a stand out piece of timekeeping beauty, the price was a third cheaper than some of the bigger branded automatics so it wasn't too much of a hit to the wallet. The large diameter and height doesn't look out of place on my slim 7" sized wrist. Suprisingly it's very comfortable to wear and doesn't feel too heavy even after a long day of use. This divers watch is presented in a nice large yellow ripple shell padded case with warranty and instructions and it keeps an acceptable good time, the one I received gains a few seconds a day but I knew that automatics can either lose or gain time. If you don't wear the watch for more than two days then it will stop, so you do have to wind it a good 25 to 30 times with the crown unscrewed just to make it run for another day. I will never really use this watch for diving to three hundred metres, but for every day use it's a real 'looker' and I just love wearing it.

My first watch arrived extremely fast, but unfortunately, the mechanism was frozen. I have returned and I have ordered one more time, same model. Again, extremely fast delivery and this time the watch is working flawless. Is a big, heavy, chunky piece of a watch but I love it and I will always wear it with great pleasure!

I g o through the past history of this watch and found that around 20 -30 years, the people are still using this watch. So i purchased and wear it. Now i feel that a luxurious watch that i wear it up.
