I purchased my Invicta Pro Diver about three years ago. I owned other watches at the time. My son came to me one day and told me he really needed a good watch. He couldn't afford one, so I (being a soft touch) gave him my Pro Diver. He is in the construction/remodeling business and is really tough on watches. He doesn't just wear a watch. He brutalizes it. The watch looks as if it had been put in a meat grinder, but it keeps perfect time and hasn't missed a lick. If a wrist watch will hold up under his use, it will last for a long time with normal wear and use. If you're looking for a really good watch for a good price, I strongly recommend this Invicta. I own two other automatic Invictas and couldn't be happier with them. Great products at a good price.
