Invicta Pro Diver 8926 Automatic vs Invicta Speedway 42mm Men's Watch

Buy the Pro Diver 8926 if you want a real automatic dive watch with a rotating bezel, 200m water resistance and a date. Buy the Speedway 48913 if you want a lighter, thinner quartz watch with a blue dial and don't need to swim in it. The Pro Diver has the stronger spec sheet and a long owner following, though its mineral crystal scratches and the 8926's Seiko-derived movement needs a shake to start. The Speedway is simpler and more accurate day to day, but 30m water resistance is splash-only and the multifunction dial adds little.

• Choose the Pro Diver 8926 if you want an automatic movement, a dive bezel and 200m water resistance for swimming and snorkeling.
• Choose the Speedway 48913 if you want a thin, light quartz watch with a blue dial for office and casual wear, and never plan to swim in it.
