Our take on the Invicta Men's 6981 Pro Diver Swiss Chronograph Watch

The Invicta 6981 Pro Diver is a large gold-tone chronograph with a black dial, Swiss quartz movement, Flame Fusion crystal and a stainless steel and silicone band. At 48mm it is a big, flashy watch built to look like a dive chronograph rather than to dive. It is rated to 100 meters, which covers swimming and showering but not real diving. Its latest best price is $159 at Distritech as of November 3.

Questions and answers

Is the Invicta 6981 worth it?
At around $159 it is a lot of watch for the money if you want a large gold-tone chronograph. It is not a precision or investment piece, so buy it for the look.
How big does the 48mm case wear?
Very large. It suits wrists of about 7.5 inches or more; on smaller wrists it overhangs and feels heavy.
Can I swim with it?
Yes, it is rated to 100 meters, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Do not use it for scuba diving.
Is the movement Swiss?
Invicta markets it as a Swiss chronograph, and the quartz movement is Swiss-assembled. It is a battery quartz, not automatic.
What is in the box?
The watch, its stainless steel and silicone band, and Invicta's paperwork and warranty card. No extra strap or tool is included.
When is it cheapest?
Invicta prices swing widely, and this model has sold well below $159 during sales events. Watch for drops around major holiday sales.
