What do people say

Some Positive

Rated 5 Stars because of value and features, the Invicta 89XX series of Professional Dive Watches has kept the company in the forefront of automatic movement watch manufacturers. No one can touch Invicta in the $100 area Pro-diver price range. Fit, finish, design, value and quality cannot be beat. This IS the leader in its class. Those desiring a Swiss made watch with Sapphire crystal and heftier bracelet should first look at the Invicta 9937 for about threetimes the price.

I would be shocked to find a better watch for under $100. Say what you will about Invicta, but for the money, the 8926 is one of the best values ever in terms of an automatic watch. I receive daily compliments on this piece, something I cannot say about my higher end pieces. To the untrained eye, most people thing you are wearing a $1,000 + watch. Despite the flaws with the 8926 (which are well documented), I’m still terrifically impressed with this watch. It’s a great entry into a “real” automatic watch from a department store quartz, and is a good introduction into the beauty of a living timepiece.

Some Negative

5) Does not hack – you cannot stop the second hand once the watch is running. That makes it hard to set the watch to a precise time as you would with a quartz. As you will see in the next point though, you shouldn’t worry too much about precision if you own this watch.

6) Timekeeping – my 8926 generally gains about 17 seconds each day. This is an average, and on some days it gained more than this, sometimes close to 30 seconds. This is more or less what can be expected from the unadjusted 8215 movement, but in comparison to other inexpensive autos (more later) this is not an especially inspiring performance. It may get better over time, but then it might also get worse. I could get it regulated, but that would cost more than half of the price of the watch, so why bother?

7) Customer Service – as you can see by skimming the one star reviews of this model, Invicta’s quality control is pretty dicey, and many of these watches come out of the box with problems. Others develop problems while under warranty.
