The TORTURE tests. It Survived!!!!
Update, it failed the torture text. ===》BUT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WATCH.《=== It got pretty beat up in the paint shaker, when it kind of came loose and was slapping around violently. But at that time it was still running, I didn't check if it was keeping good time. Obviously I went too far. I will not be returning it because that wouldn't be fair, I will have friends of mine buy another one or two of these watches and keep one of them for myself, because I did the ground work of finding them a good watch.Amazon ad incorrect. It reads as. "Invicta Men's 3044 Stainless Steel Pro Diver Automatic Watch" But the statement of AUTOMATIC, leads one to believe that it is MECHANICAL. Invicta sells a mechanical version of this watch that looks almost identically the same, but it cost $220.00. The one I bought is the quartz version model 8932 written on the back of the watch for $55.12 under the listing of "Invicta Men's 3044 Stainless Steel Pro Diver Automatic Watch". Note, neither watch has a screw down crown. Depth rating 200 meters.I wanted an indestructible and completely waterproof divers watch, probably with a screw down crown or without a screw down crown.AND NOW THE TORTURE TEST!!!!!!!!!! Buy it, it survived!!!!!!I am a champion athlete. I carefully attach the watch between the spokes on my trailblazer 21-speed bicycle and hit the ground running hard tearing up the trails for 6 hours. Jumping Bridges, going through muddy trails and blazing the hot summer sun, some with the crown pulled out and some having the crown in.Next I put the watch in a paint mixer machine and let it run for an hour, then I clean the watch in 99% rubbing alcohol with the crown out and turning the hands back and forth 100 times under the alcohol solution.Next I submerge The Watch in heavy laundry detergent, again with the crown out. Then soaked it overnight in dishwashing soap this time with the crown in.And last, I've had it in the aquarium next to the bubbler so it can get a lot of water agitation and the fish can nibble on it. It's been there for 2 weeks and I can see it keeps perfect time.And is though that wasn't enough, I put it in the freezer overnight and thawed it out in a boiling pan of water.Not sure what other grueling test I will put it through, but I think I got a good one that will last. I hope this helps you to decide whether it's right for you.

Stunning and Beautiful ! I love this Grand Divers Watch with its incredibly accurate AUTOMATIC Seiko NH35A Movement
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 :-)...

NO ES AUTOMÁTICO
No es el mismo de la descripción, dice que es automático, pero en realidad el que me llegó no lo es

I say buy it
There are so many conflicting perspectives on this watch. It may be the most polarizing watch from Invicta, if not the whole watch market.I took some heat from one of my watch/knife/flashlight friends for buying it but as of right now I’m 100% satisfied. Weight, movement, look, and overall quality are there from my perspective, but I suppose that’s the trick.The #1 complaint is getting moisture inside from exposure to water. This won’t be a factor for me. I’m 6’6” 275lbs and I had to remove three links to fit my wrist. I’ll update after some time in the wrist if anyone cares.
