When so far, there hasn’t been much to complain about, apart from the excess branding, my first negative of this Invicta watch is right on the way and is to do with the bracelet. It is one of the most important features of a dive watch when reading the time underwater is of critical importance.

Therefore, when you invest in any of these models, you get an affordable and practical watch with the performance and reliability of a luxury watch. This bezel is quite similar to the bezel in the Rolex Submariner, which is arguably one of the most popular and widely known dive watches in the market. The folding clasp is relatively thin but has a few saving graces like the micro-adjustment points (4 of them) and the safety, which helps ensure it does not catch on something and suddenly come undone. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below.

However, one thing that several reviewers and owners despise when it comes to the case is the oversized INVICTA engraved on the left side. Invicta is a well-known brand in the watch industry, and their Pro Diver collection, including the reference 8926OB, is a testament to their commitment to quality and style. Key distinguishing difference between them and your standard knock-off is the actual branding which will sound vaguely prestigious and, more importantly, allow them to be sold on the open market.

Whether you are a watch enthusiast or a casual wearer, the Invicta Pro Diver 8926OB is definitely worth considering. Besides, most of us won’t be using it frequently anyway, and it serves more of a visual purpose rather than practical. That said, if you’re worried about getting the watch wet or slightly submerged that won’t be an issue. Functionality-wise, the Pro Diver 8926OB impresses with its water resistance of up to 200 meters (660 feet), making it perfect for water activities such as swimming and snorkeling. If anything, I hope you’ve found this review helpful in answering some basic questions about the watch.

I know much more goes into that pricing than movements, but honestly we’re not looking at microbrands here. Furthermore, I rarely find myself reading the time in the dark, so for me, the luminosity is not as coveted a feature as for many others.
