Can I swim with the Invicta Specialty Pulse?

Is the bracelet solid steel or folded links?

It is a stainless steel bracelet. Expect a sturdy feel with some rattle typical of this class.

What movement does it use?

A quartz movement. It keeps good time and needs a battery change every few years.

Our take on the Invicta Specialty Pulse Men's Watch 49097

The Invicta Specialty Pulse 49097 is a quartz analog men's watch with a stainless steel case and bracelet, a unidirectional bezel and a mineral crystal. It is a dressy-casual piece built for everyday wear rather than sport: 50 m water resistance covers handwashing and rain but not swimming. Against similarly priced fashion watches it offers a full steel build and a rotating bezel, though Invicta's reputation for bulky cases and mixed long-term reliability applies here too. It suits buyers who want a bold steel look without paying for a Swiss automatic.
