| | Description | The Russian Diver Watch by Invicta is a powerful black and silver timepiece done in a canteen style with a screw-cap crown and chain. The luminous hands and indexes make it easy to read the time, and the adjustable buckle on the comfy band make for a good fit. Featuring large Arabic numbers and a convenient date display just under 12 o'clock, the grand 52 millimeter stainless steel case frames the black dial with the notable Russian Diver logo in place of 12 o'clock. Water resistant to 330 feet, this eye-catcher will have people noticing, especially when paired with jeans and a t-shirt. | |

 beautiful watch but extremely disappointed Sep 02, 2010
I ordered this watch as I was looking for a large face watch and this is throughly enormous. I received this watch promptly upon ordering and it look absolutely great in the box. I put it on my hand and love the look of it. However, I discovered smudges under the glass surface. Yes. I tried wiping the top surface but the smudges are under it. I searched online and found that it is quite common for Invicta watches. I found out I need to find myself a watch maker that can clean and pressure seal the watch back and pay for it. Thats the first disappointment. Secondly, I was looking at the watch when I discovered that the rubber strap near the metal part is broken slightly. It is clearly a defect from manufacture as I only just removed the watch from the box. I send back for refund from Amazon and need to pay the courier charges back. Will not be trying to buy another one again despite the beautiful face.

Very popular model among Invicta watches. Very good looking at your hands. The first time people say that they weigh a lot, but they all got used to the weight very soon. People interested in whether this watch really shines in the dark so much. They tested it and they are really excited. People like these watches.
 Now not even Swiiss Mvt... Aug 26, 2010
I bought this watch because I liked how it looked like. I must confess I hadn't been swiped before for all this BIG-WATCHES fashion trend. I read all the reviews where they state again an again that this is really a BIG watch and I was a little bit affraid that it would look comedic on me. I liked it however and since it had a huge discount and an offer of free one day shipping, I took the chance and bought it. Now I've received it, and even when it is big (and not that heavy), it is not of clownish-big comedic proportions.
It is a nice watch and it doesn't look that much like a cheap counterfeit/knock-off. However, that guy with a review that made it sound like it is an almost-original-rolex-quality, well, it is not, and it doesn't have that quality (What did you expect really, for less than a 100 bucks?).
Now, I am overall satisfied with my buy (taking into account how much money I inverted on this, it's ok), but after reading the first reviews posted and receiving and inspecting my unit, I can't avoid feeling like these brand of watches keeps getting cheaper, and I do not mean of a cheaper price, but of a lower quality. E.g., some people complained it was not "Swiss made" but "Swiss movement", well, let me inform you that now it is not even Swiss movement. At least there is no "Swiss movt" label to be found anywhere on the watch. Once again Amazon will have to remove the pictures and put new ones without the swiss movt label.
Also, the hour hand is kind of "off the mark" a little bit. I mean, when it's 12 o'clock, and the minute hand is directly pointing at 12, the hour hand is pointing a little bit to the left, like 5 or 6 degrees off towards the 11 position. It is not noticeable but when both hands should be perfectly aligned, and you can almost correct it by playing to set the time; and please note that I said almost. Therefore I only give it 3 stars, it doesn't deserve more.
Will I return it? No, it is not worthy of spending money on sending it back (UPS from mainland Europe to continental USA would cost me at least 70 euros) and it is a good looking watch, solidly built and of a good quality for the money spent on it, I will probably use it for scuba diving on the mediterranean (And I know, I'm not supposed to, But what the heck, I bought a "russian diver" so I will use it for diving; if it breaks down, it was a cheap watch). Will I buy another watch again from Invicta?, no, not again, at least not a russian diver; and not on-line. In any case, I will see it first in person, before buying; But I really prefer to spend 4-5 times more on a trusty titanium EcoDrive, or even 67 times more on an original Milgauss (I work with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulators and around MRIs frequently) when I save enough money for it.

A Ridiculous watch, which is the whole point Aug 24, 2010
Do you have trouble getting noticed? Is your existence hum-drum and average? Is life getting a bit boring? Need some fun in your life? Well, look no further, salvation is at hand in the form of this Invicta watch.
If you had to describe this whole set of watches in a single word, the word chosen would have to be "absurd." These watches are gargantuan, huge, out-sized, almost clownish. These watches are the very definition of wretched excess.
The watch in question does not sit on the wrist, it lurks. It is like having a small pterodactyl perched on the wrist; a hungry, watchful pterodactyl, surveying the landscape, just waiting to pounce on some small unwary victim.
The watch takes up a huge amount of bodily real estate. It overwhelms the wrist and make a major encroachment on the back of the hand. You can almost hear the watch plotting its next move, the seizure of the entire arm and after that, perhaps the chest cavity. Yes, the watch is that big, and that intimidating.
With all that acreage, the simple function of telling time is almost besides the point. Still the watch does tell time with aplomb. The huge dial with equally large numbers is super-readable and the calendar feature is also highly legible. Invicta is more than generous with the lume, making the watch easy to read in the dark.
The weakest part of the watch has to be the hands. With no sweep second, the watch feels chintzy. The two hands actually provided only contribute to the feeling that every expense was spared in the making of the the hands.
That same feel continues with the band. It is big slab of indifferent rubber. Fortunately, the band does have a well polished stainless buckle that is all business, and there are the decretive steel elements on the band. Still, the band is stiff and hard to manage. Getting the watch off and on is a chore. The rubber itself has a slightly unpleasant feel against the skin, it is not objectionable but the wearer is constantly reminded that almost all the money he spent went either into the watch's movement or its case.
It is also hard to know how serious the 100 meter designation for the watch is. The screw down cap compresses a tiny o-ring that does not look like it could survive for long in the briny depths. One could swim along the surface of the water and do some casual snorkeling with the watch, but free diving or scuba diving with this "diver" watch is a very bad idea.
If this watch sold at the original MSPRP it would have rated much lower than the four stars it was given. But at the Amazon price, this watch is practically a steal. Even with the disclaimer of being a swiss parts movement (that is a majority of the movement is constructed in China) the watch is still a screaming buy.
That this great buy is a big, goofy and absurd piece of costume jewelry only make the deal sweater. Granted you do have to have a certain devil-make-care disposition to wear the watch. It also helps if you have hefty wrists, either because you are big-boned or are pumped up via weight lifting. It still works if you, like me, have a fine wrist, just pretend that you are making an ironic statement. If that does not work you can alway repurpose the Russian Diver as a wall clock. Flavor Flav would most likely approve this watch.
