The Invicta 8926 Diver Watch is a well known Invicta watch. Which isn't counting for a lot, except if you count yourself as something of a watch geek. Though the 8926 is a clone of a "famous Swiss company's" Submariner, it holds its own as a good watch. As far as my Invicta 8926 Diver Watch Review goes, I think that you will like the this watch if:
1) You are curious about self-winding timepieces but haven't tried one yet.
2) You are a fan of a timepiece such as a Swiss-made Submariner but don't want to spend north of over $6,000.
3) You are hoping for a watch that is durable, but not completely first rate, in terms of overall quality.
I bought my Invicta 8923 Diver Watch 2 years ago, finding one at a mall kiosk for around $110 with tax (It's for sale cheaper on Amazon). I chose to buy someplace local so that if the watch was a total piece of garbage or fell apart right away, I could easily take it back. Fortunately, it wasn't garbage, it didn't fall apart, and some things about the watch ended up as a pleasant shock:
a) The Invicta 8926 is accurate, I only had to adjust it by a few minutes once a month or perhaps even less often.
b) It is rugged. I haven't taken any special precautions, and the watch face is very scratch resistant. While it is easy to scratch the watch band, the metal appears okay even after it's taken abuse.
In consideration of this, it would likely be prone to scratching if the band brushed on, say, the rocky sea bottom when you are using it on a dive. From my own experience, I know the band will get damaged when you reach in to extract a snack out of a vending machine and scraped the watch face along the vending machine door. Your results could be different.
c) With regard to the feel of the watch, the weight is ideal and it fits my wrist nicely. It's the most comfortable watch that I own.
At the start, I went ahead and bought the 8926 Diver watch to see how an self-winding watch would work. I thought that if I decided that an automatic watch was a good fit for me, that I would upgrade to a classic Omega down the road. Two years on, the 8926 Diver Watch has turned out to be such a nice timepiece that I am not in a hurry to get anything else.
