Men's 3044 Stainless Steel Pro Diver Automatic Watch

This one of the lowest priced Invictas and arguably the best value for a watch on all of Amazon. The photos in the Amazon description are not very accurate. The watch is far better looking in person. The bezel color is a deep lustrous cobalt blue. The watch face while not as pearlescent as a real Rolex is also a deep indigo or cobalt blue depending on which way the light reflects off it. The closest photo to real was taken by a reviewer named Santi and can be found at the top of the reviews under "Reviews with images". One of the earlier photos show that the bezel color used to have green in it. No longer. The current shade is that perfect cobalt blue, contrasted by gold (painted) numbers. I have a medium large wrist. Just slightly above average. I took two links out and came in one pin on the bracelet adjustment. Do NOT buy a plastic resizer. I bought one and threw it out so you don't have to. I did also buy this resizer tool which worked perfectly, first time. No bent pins. https://www.amazon.com/Selizo-Watch-Remover-Removal-Sizing/dp/B07H5F43N3/ref=pd_sbs_7/132-91 I add a drop of BLUE or Purple Loctite to the end of ANY pin I remove and then put back in place. The movement is NOT Seiko or Japanese. Those movements alone cost over $100. The movement in the watch is a CLONE of a Japanese movement with 100% made in China parts assembled in Malaysia in open rooms full of outside dust. How much dirt you have in your movement depends on the weather that day. How well it keeps time is a crap shoot. My first Invicta, a SS 40mm Submariner clone had a filthy movement and could only be adjusted to be a minute slow each DAY. The cost to clean and correct that is more than the cost of the watch. I didn't like the watch anyways. Too small. I got lucky with this Grand Diver. It seems about only 15 or 20 seconds slow per day. Much better. You don't have the movements cleaned after several years. You use the watch until it fails, and then purchase a brand new one. Tips to keep your watch looking nice. A Rolex can withstand massive abuse and neglect and be polished out like new (for a price $$$). Once the gold plating it worn off or scratched on these INVICTAS, time to purchase a new one. BUT, if you don't wear it in your sleep or shower with it, or wear it while working on your car, it can last. WASH your watch. Human sweat and oils can be quite caustic to Invictas. ESPECIALLY plated versions like this. I WASH my watch in running hot(ish) water every couple of days. Every surface. Use diluted dish detergent. No need for a brush if washed regularly. I just use my fingers. rinse well and BLOT dry with a good paper towel like VIVA. Do NOT rub dry and polish with microfiber. That action will only scratch and wear the finish faster. Blot with a high quality paper towel. The hot water helps dry the entire watch also. SPIN the bezel when washing occasionally or it will collect dirt and debris and freeze up. Trust me. I have been doing this to inexpensive, plated watches successfully for many years.

I absolutely LOVE this Invicta Grand Diver Watch Model Number 3047. I am new to the Invicta Enthusiast Movement. This past Christmas I received my first Invicta Big Faced Watch from my son. It was a Stainless Steel Watch with Blue and Black face and bezel (Model Number 20478). I LOVED having a Big Faced Watch at that point and within the past 2 months, I have purchased 3 more Invicta Big Faced Watches and love each one. I now have a total of 4 Invicta watches and I will most likely be buying more. They are just such beautiful machines that I love wearing. This Stainless Steel Automatic Grand Diver Model 3047 with its Green Bezel and Black face is so stunning. The contrasting colors make reading the time on this watch a breeze. It is not cluttered with intrusive designs or dials and it is not too big at 47mm. With that being said, it is much larger than any Timex or Casio or Seiko that I have ever owned yet I have 2 more Invicta's that are actually larger at 50mm. This Model 3047 has a 47mm case. So it is a little bit smaller than my others. The magnifier on on the dial window is an addition that is much appreciated as you get older. The dial window is made of a durable Mineral Crystal. The hands and time indicator marks have a luminescence that actually does glow in the dark. Unlike many other watches that I've owned. The band bracelet was very easily sized with very inexpensive tools that you can obtain over the internet sites. I re-sized my watch band myself and I am not a jeweler or watch repair person. It came out perfect with no struggle at all. The Green color is not loud, vivid or trendy. It is quite classy and adds just a splash of color to subdue any boringness that become the norm with the run-of-the-mill ordinary silver add black watch that everyone has. The Stainless Steel watch case is has a partial satin finish and a partial polished mirror finish. The case has the really cool Divers Helmet molded into the stainless steel case at both the top and bottom. This signifies that it really is a genuine divers watch and is capable of withstanding dive depths of approximately 1000 feet. Although most of us will never dive to those depths and the rest of us will never dive at all, the dive depth rating signifies the durability of this watch. And we “all” want a product that is as durable and tough as possible. This watches bracelet is another work of art. The center links have a mirror polished finish and the outer links have a satin finish. Very Classy and contrasty. I Love It ! The Green Bezel actually does rotate in one direction only. This is to monitor air supply for the real divers that use this watch for its actual intended purpose. There are videos and instructions all over the internet that explain how to use a watch bezel. Very easy. My VERY Favorite feature of this watch is that it incorporates the VERY RELIABLE and very accurate Japanese made Automatic Seiko Movement – The Seiko Movement Model Number is: NH35A – Yes this watch has the beautiful styling of Invicta and it also has the reliable Seiko Movement.....In case you didn't know, an Automatic Movement never needs a battery replacement because it does not operate on battery power. The motion and movement of your wrist is what winds this accurate watch up. You can also wind the watch by hand by turning the crown. So I guess you can consider it a hybrid ? I'm not sure, but that makes sense to me. Speaking of the incredible Seiko Automatic Movement, the watch manufacturer did not want to hide this special feature from you or your admirers, so engineered into the back of the watch is an Exhibition Back which actually has a window on the back of the case to view the decorated yellow pendulum swinging back and forth to wind your watch. Again, no boringness here. Lots to look at and admire about your new watch. Another very nice feature of this beautiful watch is that it has a screw down crown. This is one of the reasons it is rated to dive so deep. Because screwing down the crown stem actually seals things up more effectively than pressing it in. With this watch, you can actually stop the second hand so that you can adjust the time to the exact second. This Grand Divers watch with its black face and green bezel is not heavy at all. In fact, it wears so much more comfortably than any of my lightweight and small Timex watches. Yes it is much larger and much heavier than your normal sized watch, but the way the case and high quality bracelet was engineered makes for a very comfortable fit and the weight and size is actually un-noticable. I am NOT a large man. My wrist diameter is 7 inches to 7 and a half inches. So I have attached pictures of this watch and what it looks like on my 7 to 7.5 inch wrist. In my opinion, it fits and looks perfectly. The style these days is the Big Faced Watch. So this size is very attractive. Wear this Beautiful Watch with a pair of jeans or wear it with a Black Suit to a business Meeting or a Wedding. This is a stunning piece of jewelry. Hopefully I have addressed all of your concerns or questions that you may have had. In case I may have missed something, I have added a few pictures to my review so that you can see exactly what the product I have received is like without viewing some modified, or professionally photo-shopped images that make the product appear like more than what you will receive. These attached pictures are raw out of my point-and-shoot camera with no editing at all. So enjoy ! Can you please do me a favor ? If you have simply enjoyed reading my review or If my attached pictures and description has helped you in any way, could you PLEASE mark my review as "Helpful" please. I would REALLY Appreciate that and it helps encourage me to keep writing reviews of my purchases… Thanks :-) . . .

I am a watch nut. However, though I have written many product reviews on Amazon, and many of those reviews were about watches that I have collected, I have not written any reviews about Invicta watches because I have been reluctant to buy them until recently. That was because the one experience I previously had with Invicta was a watch that I purchased in 2001 that had a failed movement that needed to be replaced within a year of purchase. I coupled that experience with all of the bad reviews written by 'watch snobs' on watch websites and concluded that Invicta was probably a brand that I could live without. That was until I saw this gem on Amazon. It was so striking in appearance that I was immediately drawn to it. In fact, I couldn't take my eyes off it, and soon pulled the trigger. Like so many other manufacturers, Invicta patterned a group of diver watches after the Rolex Submariner and this is one of those 'clones.' However, I soon found out that this was not just another Rolex wannabe, but an offering that truly stood on its own legs. This watch is bold, big and hefty, so if you have small wrists or not accustomed to lugging a small hunk of solid metal on your arm, this might not be the watch for you. Though this watch may bear some resemblance to the aforementioned Rolex Submariner, closer inspection reveals some real differences. The dial face is substantially large, but not overly so as are some of the almost cartoonish and garish, large Invictas that I often see in watch shop windows. The band is thick and the case is super sturdy. Invicta customarily emblazons its name on the side of the watch case, but they go one step further on this model and place the words 'Grand Diver' on the crown side of the watch, which is a nice touch. The Invicta Grand Diver logo is displaced on the face, the crown and on opposing ends of the case; giving the grand diver a distinctive character. Some others may feel the 4 logos are a bit over the top, but I don't find them to be a distraction or annoyance. Your tastes may dictate otherwise. This watch uses the Seiko NH35A movement, which is a 24-jewel automatic movement that is known to be very reliable and solid. Seiko (along with Bulova, Orient and Citizen) is a manufacturer that I have turned to time and again because they are reliable and low-cost, and therefore represent high value at a modest cost point. The sweep of the second hand is smooth, though the stops are easily perceptible as it circumnavigates the dial face. The lume is negligible after only an hour, so if that is a big thing for you, this watch may not serve your needs. The caseback provides the observation window through which you can see the mechanism operating, which has become more or less standard for automatics in recent years. The band and clasp are heavy and sturdy; not unlike the treads of an M1 Abrams tank. The date magnifier is a nice because my eyes aren't what they used to be. The overall styling, look and feel of this watch tells you time and again that this is a man's watch with brass cojones, in case you forget...which isn't likely. I cannot yet say that this is a reliable timepiece as I haven't had sufficient time to observe, but I can say that I have high hopes and expectations. If so, I may consider adding another Invicta to my collection in the future. So far, this seems to be a great offering and a steal at this price point and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone

Invicta Men's 3044 Stainless Steel Grand Diver Automatic Watch, Silver/Black I have owned many high end watches in my day. The service alone on a high end watch could be any where from $200 to $2500. Those days are over for me. High end means low end these days and who needs the hassle? Not me!! So with that said, I sold all of my high end watches and now I have this Invicta Men's Grand Diver 3044 Stainless Steel, 47mm case, with a uni-directional rotating bezel, a black dial and a flame fusion crystal.The stainless steel band is fitted with a fold over with safety release clasp.This beautiful wristwatch, powered by a SII Caliber NH35A, automatic movement, supporting: date, hour, minute, second functions. Needs no batteries and is water proof to 1000 feet (300 meters). It cost me less that $115.00 shipped to my door and its a chunky heavy watch just like I like my watches. I get compliments all the time and if asked I tell the truth. I say I got this on Amazon for $115 shipped and I'm super proud to where this any where in the world. I only find shame in over paying for a watch I have to service and this watch keeps better time and has been super reliable. Great workmanship and quality. Let's talk about the movement. The engine inside that makes this watch tick. The movement is a SEIKO (SII) CALIBER NH35A. Look up NH35A. This is one of the world’s most popular automatic movements. Check out "Caliber Corner" and you will know every thing you wanted to know about this super reliable movement and its 24 jewels. So what are Jewels? Jewels are used for all the pivot points in the gear train, as well as in the anti-shock settings. Jewels (rubies) reduce friction and over time, as watches became complicated, the amount of jewels gradually are increased. Automatic watches like this one will use more jewels because there are more movements. Any ways, I love this watch. You cant go wrong for $115 to your door and wont be replacing it any time soon :0) Chris -

I’m very happy with this Invicta Pro Diver Automatic. The fit and finish are better than expected, and the size and weight give it a solid, substantial feel on the wrist. It looks great in person and definitely has strong wrist presence without feeling cheap or poorly made. The only potential downside is the large case size. Because of that, I do find myself being a bit more aware of it when moving around, and it doesn’t always fit comfortably under long-sleeve shirts or jacket cuffs. That’s not a flaw so much as something to be aware of if you prefer slimmer watches. Overall, it’s a well-built, good-looking automatic watch at a very reasonable price, and I’m pleased with the purchase.

My reason for getting this watch probably isn't like most people's. I recently purchased a bright yellow sports car and thought a nice big yellow watch would be a nice touch when driving around town with the top down. I searched all of the watch forums and found nothing but good things about the Invicta 3048 Grand Diver so I thought I would give it a try. I used to wear watches all the time but for the last 10 years or so my cell phone has been my watch. Why carry two things that tell you what time it is? Well this watch changed all of that. The moment I opened the box I was blown away. No matter how big every one said this watch was it was bigger. My first thought was that there was no way I was going to be able to wear something this big. But I thought I would give it a try and headed out for a drive and to dinner. I had several people comment on how nice the watch looked and all kinds of questions as to what type of watch it was and where could they get one. The watch was getting more attention that the bright yellow sports car! The watch fits so well it doesn't take long before you won't even notice you have it on (at least until someone asks you about it). This Grand Diver looks great with the stainless case and bracelet. It's constructed of 316L stainless steel and features the NH35A mechanical/automatic movement. When I opened the box I was impressed with how well it was packaged. The band was completely wrapped in heavy, clear plastic to protect it from scratches during shipping. There was even a small strip of paper inserted through the clasp for the same reasons. The front and rear crystals were also covered with clear, plastic circles for protection. The bezel turned tightly and evenly and the ratcheting clicks were firm. The attention to detail on this watch is amazing. The bezel and watch face markings are sharp as is the etching on the side of the case. The see through back reveals the quality workmanship and the details are flawless. There is one negative about this watch I must warn you about. The looks, attention to detail, and most of all the price has me looking to see what other Invicta watches I might want to buy. What I thought was going to be a single watch that I could wear when driving my car has now turned into a quest to start a watch collection. If you decide to get this wonderful timepiece, just be aware that you may be getting yourself in pretty deep.

This Grand Diver is a lot of watch for the money. A heavy, quality band to include solid end links with a clear crystal, unidirectional rotating bezel, beautiful black dial, heavy duty clasp and accurate automatic movement. The watch is beautifully designed and imo worth much more than the asking price. I was concerned that at 47mm this would look ridiculously large, but it doesn't to me. In fact, it is quite comfortable and I now like the size almost as much as the 40mm case watches that I have come to appreciate thru the years. Although I don't wear this to work with a suit, I could and it wouldn't be out of place. I prefer to wear this model with jeans and a t-shirt. It is an awesome watch that you will want people to see and comment on. I have recently (last 3 months) started introducing Invictas into my collection en masse to add some fun and really appreciate the Pro Diver line. As insignificant as it may sound I really like the helmet logo on the Grand Divers. It is one of my favorite watch logos now. Maybe that's because I used to dive and it brings back that adventurous feel. I am happy to tell people it is an Invicta and to let them check the watch out. A common response is that the watch feels and looks like it should cost a lot more, to which I respond... "I know. Right?" This watch and the 8926OB are my favorite Invictas. The only thing I would change with the 3044 is the bezel. The scalloped bezel looks nice, but I would prefer the coin edge OB bezel as it is easier to rotate when wet. Bravo Invicta on a truly 'invincible' watch and Amazon for delivering it quickly as promised!

I never write reviews but this watch is deserving of a few remarks. First, men this is the watch you need for weight. Feels great and perfectly fits any wrist. My wrist is 7.5 inches. Average wrist. The overall quality is well made. Sharp looking watch and you know you are wearing a quality built piece. The wrapping was very impressive. In fact, too well protected. Took longer to unseal protective wraps than it did removing a few pins to adjust to my wrist. Removing the pins are super easy. Just make sure you but a link removal tool. They usually come free with the watch. This model did not but my other models did. The tool is like 4 bucks. If you are in between what watch size to get, I would recommend for men nothing less than 40mm and up to 47 or 48mm. Ideally, most my watches are 43mm but a 47mm is the winner for overall look. Especially business casual and everyday look. A more formal event like a wedding or in my case, a divorce party....requires turning down to either a 40mm or up to 45mm. Anything under 40mm looks weak and child like. Too small and just holds no wow factor. My k-9 picked my watch so I'll see what she picks next time. Support your local animal shelters and always be kind to everyone. Except liberals.
