Swiss Legend 30021 GM 014 Ambassador Charcoal

I've had this Swiss Legend 30021 GM 014 Ambassador Charcoal almost a week now and the number of compliments so far I have received was amazing. More so than my expensive dive watch. It offers that added bling factor if you will.

The quality is superb! I was worried at first but after doing my research, reading reviews and finding youtube videos, I took a chance and I've never been more than happy with the watch. Well built throughout the watch. The watch itself is a homage to two very expensive watches, the Hublot Big Bang and AP Roo Royal Oak Offshore. Both watches I really love but cannot afford.

The only thing I was a little bummed out about was that currently, there is only a rubber strap option. I'm hoping they will offer an ability to switch out straps. Another small detail is that the female torx used on the bezel is fake. I've heard a few reviews that these fake torx screws sometimes fall out. Perhaps its only glued on? I dont know! IMO They could have spent a little more extra time and tapped and screwed in real screws. It is a miner detail, but shall a screw fall out, what happens? I dont think Swiss Legend sells replaceable fake screws. But despite that, I am still giving this a 5 star as the watch is really good. Just have to be careful not too be too rough with it.

I am giving this watch 4 stars for a couple of reasons. First, the watch arrived promptly, packaged well, and initially looked fine. Upon closer inspection, 1 of the 4 black accent screws around the watch body (nearest to the strap) was missing. Due to Amazon's easy return policy, the watch was returned and refunded fully. Secondly, and because my son really wanted this watch specifically, I ordered another one, it arrived promptly, and was/is perfect. So because of Amazon's get service (along with the seller), I give this item 4 stars. Hopefully the watch will serve my son as well as Amazon served me.

Seiko SKA389 Kinetic Black Watch

I ordered 2 of these watches. One for myself and another for my brother in-law. Both arrived on-schedule and in perfect condition. I already own another Invicta watch and have been looking at this one for quite some time. My anticipation was well rewarded. This is a very heavy and substantial watch. Pictures really do not do it justice. It is absolutely gorgeous and timeless in design. As usual, it is packaged in a yellow Invicta flip-top box with leather upholstery and the watch itself is neatly covered in plastic shrink-wrap as to insure it's scratch free delivery.

A few unknowing buyers are unaware of the screw down crown. The crown must be unscrewed before the time and date can be set. Not knowing this will result in frustration and possible damage. The design itself cannot be flawed, as it insures a water tight seal and I do appreciate it. I like a watch that will go wherever I go, and this watch is surely up to the task. Many will scoff at the cyclops magnifier over the date, saying that its not like the Rolex. Guess what, it's not a Rolex. It's just fine. If you hold the watch at an angle you will realize that the date is very tiny and without the magnifier it would be very hard indeed to read the date.

Be very aware that this is a 39mm watch. It is for the smaller wristed man.The watch is exactly as described, but the subtle size difference can be easily overlooked. I wear the 43mm watch in the pro diver and it is for the larger wrist. I bought this for a friend who had commented on how much he liked mine and I missed the size difference. Fortunately, he is 5'5" and has a smaller wrist so it all worked out. A standard submariner is 40mm so this one is a bit smaller. Still for the price it is a great little watch. 

I'd read some reviews saying this Seiko Men Watches would not keep time well. Not this one. It kept time perfectly (I checked it repeatedly with my cell phone). I wore this watch out last weekend and it looked amazing. Durability? Hmmm ...not sure yet. I'm not ready to dunk it in water. I really just enjoy wearing it dry, while it's still shiny and it works. The crown does not screw down on this Quartz model, so I am not sure if rough treatment (diving off boats, or wiping out while water skiing) in would be a good idea. In a few months after the newness has worn off, I'll go ahead and risk swimming or showering with it. If I'm wrong, It'll cost me less money than dinner and few beers with the boys.

Citizen BM8180 03E Eco Drive Canvas Strap

I owned a Citizen BM8180 03E Eco Drive Canvas Strap and it refused to keep the time correctly (the battery was fine but it kept falling behind). I began a more earnest search for a nicer watch and stumbled across this Invicta 8932.I owned a Wenger previously that I loved but the watchband continually snapped its pins so I was a little hesitant about purchasing another metal band. However, once it arrived I was impressed with the thickness of the links and the heft of the watch itself. It is definitely a solid watch but not so overwhelming and ostentatious as other divers that on the market.I have received numerous compliments on the Invicta's appearance and love the finish and quality of this timepiece. I am not a collector by any means but I truly love this watch. Excellent price for the quality as well!

I bought my first Invicta watch from Amazon exactly three years ago, June 2010. I chose the Invicta Men's 8932 Pro Diver Collection Silver-tone watch with the screw down crown for around $50, and loved the watch...up until this past weekend, when it just stopped. Assuming it was the battery, I had that replaced at the jewelry store we've done business for decades, and it still didn't work. They said that they could attempt to diagnose and fix the problem, but that would cost around $90, so that made no sense. I realize that the warranty is for only one year, so I'm without recourse, but it's very disappointing, especially in light of the fact that I've been wearing a Seiko for 36 years that has required no maintenance other than occasional battery change, and even my Timex Indiglo gives more than three years' service.

One other note: Two of the things I really liked about this watch are that it has a quartz movement (so in my experience thinner and more reliable) and it had a screw down crown, which it seems to me any dive watch should have. Although I've never worn the watch in the water, I was looking forward to taking it to Bonaire this weekend and would have tested it there. What makes it all the more galling is that I bought one for my grandson and recommended it to my son-in-law (who proceeded to buy one) only to find that, though the same model number, they no longer come with the screw down crown. I suppose this is to keep costs and prices down, but it's still disappointing, as the product description did not point this out at the time. Moreover, I learned last night that the same model (sans screw down crown) that I'd bought for my grandson also has died. I think it lasted about as long as the warranty. Now I'm embarrassed that I recommended it so highly to my son-in-law, and can only hope that his doesn't die in the next year or so. No more Invictas for me.
