Invicta INVICTA-9937 Men's Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Swiss Automatic Watch

Rolex was not a factor in my choosing this watch. I literally looked at hundreds of watches prior to this purchase. I wanted reliability, automatic movement (tired of batteries), sporty/casual styling, a good solid bracelet style band & I wanted it all for under $200. After looking at all of the watches, I began to realize that almost all of the manufacturers were using Japanese movements. I even tried the so called American watch companies like Bulova. In my price point, they were all Japanese movements. So, why am I going to buy an American name & not get an American made watch? I'm not buying a name; I'm buying a watch. I finally ran across the Invicta watches & discovered they had what I was looking for in some very attractive styles & pricing. I won't go into all of the different movements & beats per hour because all that has been covered in other reviews. What I will tell you is that you can pay a lot more (3X) for exactly the same thing, but sold by a more prestigious name plate. In fact, if you want a Swiss movement you will pay even more. There is nothing wrong with Japanese movements. In fact they are quite good & accurate. I have Seiko & Citizens etc. After comparing the Invicta 9937OB to what was being offered by the competition, I couldn't turn it down. It was a little more than my original price goal, but I now know it was worth it. The pictures I found on line do not do the watch justice. In person you really see how nice this watch really is. It is substantial, both in weight & size. It is a mid size watch (43mm?) & does not look like an anchor on your wrist. It has good weight & does not feel or look cheap. The bracelet is SS & could easily be used to hold a much larger watch. It has a terrific fold over safety clasp. The bracelet style bands usually pull the hair off of my arm, but not this one. It is smooth & well finished. I had to adjust mine & found it a simple task to remove the link using the SE 7pc Watch Spring Bar Tool that I bought here on Amazon. It honestly took 5 minutes or less. Accuracy is right on the money. I set the date & time the day I received it & it has been as accurate as any quartz clock I have in the house. It even keeps time with the clock on my iPhone. I am very pleased with the Swiss Automatic SW200 movement. One tip, though, is to wind the watch 20-25 times before you start wearing it. After that your arm motion will keep it wound sufficiently to keep proper time. I guess I could go on & on about how it looks like a Rolex Submariner & all that nonsense, but I bought this watch because of the way IT looks & the features that IT offers. For the money I was not able to find anything comparable.

Update: 7/16/2023 So I have now owned the watch for over 1 year. I don’t wear it daily but it somewhat fills the desire to wear the submariner. I usually have it when I want a decent watch that might get beat up. It has held up great. The cyclops got a bit scratched up once, I think when I was out camping or on a boat or something. The watch has run like a champ. I have a winder that keeps it wound up and it is running at -1.2 sec/day average for the past 90 days. That is pretty great for a cheapo Rolex imitation. Anyhow, the watch is very nice if you can get over the Invicta stigma. There are some tutorials on filing off the Invicta stamp and repolishing the case but I’m not going to do that. In fact, I would gladly tell people that if they really want a solid Rolex submariner knock off with a Swiss movement that (with a little work) runs like a champ, you can’t beat this one. ——————————— I have to say, I had been an Invicta poo pooer for a while. I own a Rolex submariner and really enjoy it, and a lot of the fake Rolex submariner are just terrible to look at. But I have stopped wearing my submariner for personal reasons, and sometimes I felt pangs of longing which led to me investigating a lower priced replacement. The Invicta 9937 is actually a pretty good watch, certainly punching way above its price tag. Now, it’s not close to the level of quality and precision of the submariner, and I’ve only had it a few months, but it is very nice. The SW200-1 movement is pretty good. I don’t really like the clear case back but my kids like looking at it. The watch came to me at about +15 spd but I was able to regulate the watch down to +2 spd. I took the watch off of its bracelet and put on a nice leather band, which I alternate with a nylon Archer band. Both look nice and the watch wears great. I cannot speak to the longevity, but it is an accurate, nice wearing watch with classic design. If it can wear for a few years, it would be a steal at $169. If it stops working early, then no. The only proviso is that it will probably need regulation to really dial in the timing, if that matters to you.

Nice and neat watch. Gorgeous. Swiss automatic. Perfect delivery by Amazon. Will highly recommend to watch lovers and collectors alike.

Avevo qualche dubbio sulla possibilità che il meccanismo di questo orologio fosse paragonabile ai meccanismi svizzeri ma mi sono ricreduto. Infatti il movimento è fluido e si vede dalla lancetta dei secondi e tiene il tempo perfettamente. la carica tiene anche due giorni senza tenerlo al polso. Insomma è proprio un movimento "ETA SWISS 25 jewels" in tutto e per tutto. (si capisce perché il prezzo sia molto più elevato rispetto al modello 8926). Al polso è elegante e la somiglianza con il submariner è notevole, il peso e le dimensioni sono le stesse ( ha solo i pallettoni del quadrante più piccoli). Per chi vuole spendere poco ma avere un orologio con vero movimento ETA SWISS

First off let me say that this is a fantastic watch, it keeps time so well I am impressed!! I had only heard about Invicta from the odd website and always saying negative things about the brand, but I will tell you I only have great things to say about the brand. This watch cost about 4 big ones, but well woth it, the swiss movement is excellent, and it has weight that you will get use to in a day or 2 then won't realize your even wearing it. It came in the butter box as I call it lol yes the yellow one but I don't mind its a nice box. The watch was all sealed in plastic the face and back as well, and it is shiny a clean sporty dressy watch, it is identicle to the submariner a very well done homage only the name is how you could tell its not one of the big boys. The second hand is very smooth and keeps working gor about 40 hours if not worn, it does turn heads thats for sure and the thing is its not a replica, as the big boys never re newed the pattened lisence a few years ago so many brands jump on the popular style, I love this brand so much I just bought 9 more Invictas and have not had a problem yet all wotk great and all came in a butter box, you know what if you have always wanted a submariner but its not in the budget let me say get this watch you will not be let down and you will feel great wearing it it is very well made heavy thick bracelet fantastic polish snd brushed parts, you csnt go wrong get one and enjoy!!!

Si vous rêvez d'une Rolex mais si vous voulez payer 15 fois moins cher, vous pouvez choisir ce produit qui bénéficie d'une belle finition, tout dépend si c'est pour avoir ou pour s'en servir à bord. D'expérience une montre de luxe ne reste pas longtemps intacte si elle est utilisée au quotient sur un voilier. Cette montre là ce sera pareil, mais la différence de prix à fonction équivalente permet de l'accepter plus facilement.

I picked this up on Amazon Global and it came from America for the princely sum of £235 including import fees, today some 4 months later it's for sale for a little over £400. This is a great watch IF you get a good one, the Swiss movement made by Sellita is essentially an ETA 2824 and both these movements are found in watches five figure price tags. I actually have two of these one is over fifteen years old, has been serviced a couple of times and gains about 1 second per day and the newer one which gains 3 to 5 seconds per day. The bracelet is the same on both (there are some very slight differences to the clasp) and it's stood the test of time very well. The watch is well made and nicely finished with my two criticisms being rubbish lume and a stiff bezel (on the newer one) I awarded the value for money stars based on the price I paid, at £400+ I think that you're getting close to some better brands, but the 99370B remains a solid prospect if you don't need low light visibility. Perhaps if Invicta sorted the lume, added a sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel it would seem a more competitive, but that said there are many watches at this price point that have a rattly Miyota or a NH35A, at least here you're getting an excellent quality high beat 28,800 bph (8 ticks per second) the Sellita SW200 is a clone of the ETA 2824 originally made under licence although I believe any patents would have expired by now.
