Is the Invicta Subaqua Noma VIII a good watch for the price?

It packs a lot into one watch: automatic movement, chronograph and water resistance. Expect a big, heavy watch rather than a refined one.

How big is the case, and will it fit my wrist?

The case is 48mm across, which is large. It suits wrists around 7.5 inches and up; on smaller wrists it will overhang.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is an automatic mechanical watch, wound by wrist movement. If you don't wear it for a day or two, it will stop and need resetting.

It is water resistant, which covers hand washing and swimming. Don't press the chronograph pushers underwater, and have the seals checked after a few years.

How does it compare with a quartz Subaqua?

The automatic version adds a self-winding mechanical movement and a sweeping seconds hand, but it is heavier, needs regular wear to keep running and usually costs more than the quartz models.

Our take on the Invicta Men's Watch Subaqua Noma VIII Automatic Gunmetal Dial Bracelet

The Invicta Subaqua Noma VIII is a large 48mm automatic chronograph with a gunmetal dial and matching bracelet. It uses a mechanical self-winding movement, so it never needs a battery, and it has a scratch-resistant crystal and water resistance. It suits buyers who want a heavy statement watch with a real automatic movement, and it competes with other big dive-style chronographs on features rather than refinement.
