    I've had my Invicta Pro Diver 8926 for 4+ years and I never knew these things. Thanks! I'm 74 and it's the best watch I've ever owned. It's very accurate and feels great. Today, almost nobody cares who made your watch. What people do care about is the quality of your cell phone.

    Thanks so much, took my watch to have a battery placed not realizing it is an automatic and the repairman said my watch was dead, I have not had it long and refused to believe that. Thanks so much for saving me time and money. :-)

      Same for me. My first auto was a Fossil (yeah, I know a fashion watch). I knew nothing about autos and the watch would run for a day or so, I'd shake it, it would run for about an hour. Eventually it would only run for about 20 seconds and then stop. I threw it in the garbage after it sat in a drawer for another 3 years or so. Its safe to say, I had an automatic with absolutely no knowledge of how to maintain them. I begged off autos for about 10 years thinking they were all junk (even the high end Rolex and Omegas). I thought they were all garbage for having auto movements (yeah, I know). But the Pro Divers bigger brother (42mm) got me back into autos. This time I followed the instructions in the box and also watched a few videos. Now I'm an auto lover.

    • @GadgetsforGentlemen

  • @soll86
    @soll86 Před 3 lety +6

    for people having issue with the watch, that goes with the Hour ahead or behind.. Just be sure to turn / wind / charge the watch from time to time, and do not count only on the automatic movement wind/charge..
    and thanks for the video, thought my watch is broken but after this winding (by spinning the crown) it's showing the correct time

  • @uh-1flyboy632
    @uh-1flyboy632 Před rokem +1

    Good video instruction. Just got my Invicta Pro Diver and although I did set the date and time correctly and the seconds hand was already moving, I thought it was working. After leaving it on the desk for 5 hours, I noticed the time was slow by almost half an hour. I immediately thought I had a bad watch. Now I learned that I need to initially wind the watch. Thankx !

    I believe it is an older model because I couldn't find it in their store but it is a brand new watch and it looks really good as does yours. I want to get one like yours next. Again Thank You Sr.

  • @robynlhatetheelitesstridel5395

    I like your reviews very much they are calm and gentle and you are very own minded and fair- lm sure your instructions were very helpful for people who have their first automatic watch .When l got my first auto l figured it out for myself because their was’nt a video like yours available but now there is l have 4invicta pro divers and they have performed wonderfully over the years We are very lucky to have them because a lot of people can’t spend hundreds or thousands on an automatic watch and these watches provide an excellent performance,once again,thankyou --your fan,Robyn Griffin,Sydney Australia

    I love this watch except for the fact that the screw down crown strips out after about 2 years for me. I paid almost the cost of a new watch for the repair and 2 years later it's stripped out.
    An owner of the Rolex Submariner told me that his screw down crown was good after 20 years.

      Maybe because the movement isn’t charged enough? More wrist movements? Or maybe you need to service the movement by a watch maker.

      I don’t think there is a way to tell it’s fully wound. I would be careful to avoid overwinding. In theory overwinding could damage the movement.

      I am no expert. I would say no need to wind it if you were it everyday because your wrist movements will most likely charge the movement enough. That’s my 2 cents. Correct me if I am wrong.

      Perhaps use a cotton cloth for a better grip around the crown. Also make sure the metal is not too cold. Thus wear it on the wrist so it can heat up a bit from your skin temperature.

      @@GadgetsforGentlemen Actually my comment was about the battery-driven ones but I believe it applies to the hand-wind type as well.
      This business of pulling the winder out only halfway is fiddly and a very old mechanism.
      This is a fairly new watch and I can't help thinking that a better mechanism could have been used.
      Every time I want to change the date I have to make several attempts to pull the crown just and not too far.
      Otherwise, it passes the position for changing the date.

      I see what you are saying. Personally I don’t find it hard to change the date or time.
