Get this watch if you can find it for around ~€50, or preferably the 40mm automatic version if your wrists are large enough. I like this watch overall. The finish, quality of materials, and overall fit is very nice. The two things that bother me the most are the misaligned second hand and the poor quality clasp. I definitely overpaid a bit for this watch (it usually retails for cheaper than what I bought it for), but oh well.
My dislike for quartz is something personal and not something that is specific to this watch. Higher end quartz watches should not have misaligned second hands (this Invicta diver is definitely not a high quality quartz watch). Most if not all quartz watches around this price have this issue.
Some quick specs and measurements (measured myself):
- PC32A movement (I think)
- 37.5mm diameter case excl. crown
- 40mm diameter case incl. crown
- 47mm lug to lug
The depth rating on these and similar cheap "divers" is very sketchy: Invicta implies that this watch passes ISO regulations, but they never explicitly state this anywhere. It is known that ISO water resistance tests (ISO 6425 for divers) require extremely expensive equipment and are a quite complicated process, so most (cheaper) watch manufacturers slap on a certain rating without really being certified.
Officially certified divers watches may use the marking "DIVER's" (not required, eg. Rolex Submariner), however non-ISO 6425 certified divers do not have the right to carry specific markings such as "DIVER'S". From Wikipedia, related to ISO 6425: "Watches conforming to ISO 6425 are marked with the word DIVER'S WATCH xxx M or DIVER'S xxx M to distinguish diving watches from look-a-like watches that are not suitable for actual scuba diving. The letters xxx are replaced by the diving depth, in metres, guaranteed by the manufacturer" ([ Ссылка ]).
