 Invicta 4859 pro diver review August 23, 2008
Just received the watch this week, 70 plus dollars with a free 13 dollar backpack. Although the watch looks very cool i have noticed the second hand is way off, also the date changes at 4 minutes to midnight. Although not huge problems, to me they seem to be severe quality issues. I am very picky and the price was right but a Timex has better second hand movement. I also own a Titanium Seiko, great quality watch, although it costs over 2 times more, and a Stuhrling, great watch. I ordered another Invicta, have yet to receive it. I will check out it's movement to see if it is a one time deal or simply consistent poor craftmanship. Also, although the warranty states up to 5 years, the buyer is responsible for shipping to Invicta and is charged a flat rate of 20 dollars for return shipping. On a 70 dollar watch it's hardly worth bothering with. It's like buying a 30 cent warranty on a 70 cent candy bar. They must think we are idiots.
 Beware of good looks August 20, 2008
My mistake, I'm old enough to know better. Got a ritzy gift box. Inside a very nice looking watch with a suspicious sticker with chinese characters. After a couple of days the "precision quartz swiss movement" fell behind about 10 seconds a day, even my 25 bucks worn down Timex does better than that! Went to the manufacturer's web-site, and after strugling with a lengthy registration process involving 2 garbled case-sensitive digits readout finally got a service case #. Now came shipping the watch to Florida, and despite the guarantee, included the $25 they demand for "return postage and insuring". This all happened early July and by the end of August I'm still relying on my old trusty Timex.
 Great watch and a bargain June 27, 2008

The watch came in a nice yellow box, with plastic wrapping covering the outside, indicating it is brand new without a scratch on it. The silvery crown is more shiny than on the picture, but I like it better this way. All parts of the watch tells that it is a quality piece, heavy and well carved. Now come the function part. It did keep the time reasonablly well, a bit less than 2 seconds slower each day, a little more diviation than I expected, but I can live with that.
The real complaint I have is the length of the band, I will have to have it adjusted before it really fit. Why can't they make the length of band fit average people in the factory, and include a few links for those who need them?
Very Nice June 9, 2008

Got this watch during Lighting deal in the Gold Box last week. For the price, it is great. Very nice face and dial. I personally really like the black with the stainless bezel. Date is very easy to read. Not bulky or heavy at all. Not sure what the hand material and markers are, but many Invicta watches use it. The sun charges up the hands and markers, so it has a glow to it in the dark, just fades longer it's in the dark, but overall it's pretty nice feature.
I'm happy.
