Is the Invicta 8928OB a real automatic watch?

Yes. It uses a Japanese Seiko NH35A automatic movement, so it winds from wrist motion and can also be hand-wound. It hacks, meaning the seconds hand stops when you set the time.

It is rated to 200 meters with a screw-down crown, so swimming and snorkeling are fine. Have the crown screwed down and avoid pressing buttons or the bezel underwater, and get it pressure-tested after any service.

How does it compare with a Seiko 5 Sports?

Both use automatic movements and offer similar dive styling. The Invicta adds a two-tone finish and 200m rating, while Seiko generally has better quality control and resale, and some Seiko models use Hardlex crystal.

What size is the case?

The case is 40mm across and about 12mm thick, a mid-size that fits most wrists. The bracelet is stainless steel with a fold-over safety clasp.

Does it have sapphire crystal?

No. It uses mineral crystal, which resists light scratches but can pick up marks over time. A sapphire replacement is a common upgrade.

What comes in the box?

The watch in its original Invicta packaging, backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

What reviewers say

3.6 / 535 ratings

Owners like the classic two-tone diver look and the automatic movement at this level, and many call it a good entry point into mechanical watches. Complaints center on timekeeping drift, gold plating wear and quality control, and the 3.6 rating reflects that split.
