Is the 8936OB good for small wrists?

Yes. The case is 38mm across and 11mm thick, which is compact for a dive watch and suits wrists that feel overwhelmed by 42mm and larger divers.

Can you swim with it?

Yes. It is rated to 200 meters with a screw-down crown, so swimming and snorkeling are fine. Have the crown and gaskets checked before relying on it for diving.

This model is quartz, using the Japanese TMI PC32A. It keeps time with no winding, unlike the automatic Pro Divers, but it does not have a sweeping seconds hand.

Does the gold finish last?

It is gold plating over stainless steel, not solid gold. Expect wear on the clasp and case edges over years of daily use; keeping it away from harsh chemicals slows this.

What comes in the box?

The watch in its original Invicta packaging, backed by a three-year manufacturer's limited warranty.

How does it compare with the automatic Pro Diver?

The 8936OB is smaller, thinner and quartz, so it is lighter and needs no winding. The automatic versions offer a mechanical movement and sweeping seconds but are generally larger and heavier.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the 8936OB as a solid, good-looking quartz diver for the money, praising its compact size, legible dial and reliable timekeeping. Common complaints center on gold plating wear, the mineral crystal and lume that is weaker than expected.

What people mention

SizePraisedOwners like the 38mm case and 11mm thickness because it fits smaller wrists and slips under a cuff.
Gold platingCriticisedSeveral owners report the gold finish rubbing off on the clasp and case edges with daily wear.
TimekeepingPraisedThe Japanese quartz movement is described as accurate and trouble-free, needing only occasional battery changes.
LumeMixedHands and markers glow at first, but owners say brightness fades quickly overnight.
CrystalCriticisedThe mineral crystal is called out for scratching more easily than sapphire.
ValuePraisedReviewers see it as a lot of dive-watch look and water resistance for an entry-level quartz piece.
