  A very smart watch

  Given Breytenbach's relative anonymity, I was quite apprehensive about this purchase. It took me a while to even find their website [...]) - I suppose they lack an SEO guy. However, I eventually took the plunge and have now owned this watch for about a month.Aesthetics:Breytenbach has the smartest watch designs that I have seen at this price point. I have very restrictive standards when it comes to a watch's aesthetic appeal, and this watch fulfills them fully. My budget when looking for a watch was around the $1500 mark, but nothing that I saw matched this watch. The texture on the watch face is very clean, and the numbers are clear. The hands are a great touch, which normally appear black but in the right light will give a brilliant rich blue shine. However, two niggles. First, this isn't a thick watch case, but in an ideal world I would like it 1mm or so thinner (and 1mm less diameter).

  Very nice looking watch for everyday use at a good value

  Very nice looking watch at a good value. It is a self winder so you need to wear it in order to keep it wound. It has enough heft so it feels like a more expensive watch. I did get a watch winder to keep it wound and on time when I am wearing one of my other watches. 5/5 Tool Geek "Tool Geek" (Silver Spring, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Rating (10 reviews):

  (4.6/5)

  

  Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42 -- recommended

  A swiss-made timepiece, with observation back to show the ETA 2824 movement and an easy-to-read face. At 42mm, this is larger than the traditional Hamilton Khaki, but as it is not overly heavy, and lies flat on the wrist, you will not be reminded that you are wearing it. Hamilton provides probably the best cost to value ratio of automatic watches available, and this model shows off the traditional stylings, unlike some newer designs, which seem like they are attempting to show off by being unusual. I have also found that this watch looks good with any number of aftermarket straps. 5/5 George A. Riemer (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews, October 9, 2008

  Great watch at a great price

  Great watch at a great price. Beautiful see-through caseback shows the Swiss ETA2824 movement and is great for showing your friends who aren't watch enthusiasts what an "automatic" movement is.I got the leather band but now I'm thinking the bracelet might have been a good idea because it's been very hot recently and sweat is drenching the leather band. 5/5 I.

  Rating (107 reviews):

  (4.3/5)

  

  Great product, but the lower-end ones may be the one for you.

  This watch is very good for 300 dollars. It resembles the Rolex Submariner very closely. It is very sturdy and heavy and I love it a lot.The band of this watch feels sturdy and heavy. It is huge! The links are big. The center links are polished which gives it a more fancier look. It is a scratch magnet if you're not careful, but you can always polish it down again. Or you can brush it down to give it a more Submariner look.When I first saw the back of this watch, it was incredible. I've never seen a Swiss automatic movement in person before, although it's through the crystal, it's beautiful! It's fun talking to my dad about the back of this watch and it's movement. I told him "You can see right there it says 26 jewels Swiss Made on the mechanism." Although on the crystal, it says Swiss Movement. That's because the movement itself is Swiss Made, but the watch itself isn't. But to me that's all the same! Swiss Made or Swiss Movement, it has a Swiss Made movement... 5/5 Dave Duy Le - See all my reviews This review is from: Invicta Men's 9937 Pro Diver Collection Coin-Edge Swiss Automatic Watch (Watch) This watch is very good for 300 dollars.

  Invicta 9937OB Review

  I have owned the Invicta 9937OB for about 9 months now and I am generally pleased with the good quality of this Rolex Submariner tribute watch. The following comments are based on my research, experience and opinions about this watch.The OB in the model number stands for "old bezel." This is the coin-edge bezel that Invicta produced prior to their adoption of the scalloped bezel used in many of their present diver's watch models. Personally I prefer the coin-edge bezel, as it is easier to grip and turn than the scalloped bezel Invictas.This watch has a Sellita SW200, Swiss made, automatic movement--a copy of the proven and reliable ETA 2824-2 Swiss automatic movement. The Sellita SW200 is a 26-jewel movement where as the ETA 2824-2 movement has 25 jewels. I've read that Sellita put in the extra jewel to be different (marketing reasons) and claims the extra jewel increases the power reserve of the movement. The Sellita appears to be a good copy of the ETA... 4/5 Roger Burton "Steady" (Fresno, CA, USA) - See all my reviews, May 3, 2009

  Class Act

  I am a novice watch collector, however I have one major rule - the watch must be below $500. This is not only because I am not Mr. Deep Pockets, but also I have issues with spending money. You could say I am a VALUE novice watch collector.I have been wanting a Sub-mariner watch for some time, sure the Rolex is the CROWN (king of the hill) - but to meet my rule ($500) - it would seem that Rolex is not going to make the cut. There are many Sub-mariner look-alikes.Now comes the value - it's not just about looks, it's about substance. Sure - the Invicta 8926 or other similar watches have the looks, but what about the substance.Think about this - Rolex is more than just looks, the name equates to quality and substance. From the movement, crystal, to workmanship.My goal was to find a Sub-mariner - that HAD the Rolex QUALITY! Finding the looks was easy, finding the quality - well that was the hard thing to do.After doing tons of research... 5/5 Alan Smithee "Reason..."

  (3.5/5)

  

  Invicta's overlooked dive watch

  Purchasing the #8932 Invicta dive watch for a family member Christmas present - I've come away very much impressed. The 8932 apparently shares the case, crystal mineral glass watchface, screwdown crown and elegent lightweight stainless steel bracelet with it's more expensive automatic movement 8926 sibling. Matter of factly - it is hard to tell the difference between this watch and Invicta's $300+ 9937 Swiss ETA powered automatic diver without close inspection.It is my humble opinion that Invicta is the leader of the affordable price dive watch market - including such giants as Seiko and Citizen - OK maybe even Casio. Invicta does not have the brand name awareness of the public and large commercial outlets to display their wonderful dive watches. Once you've purchased an Invicta Pro-Diver series watch - you will be a fan. The fit, finish, overall quality and design make this watch a model you should consider as a price range leader.Case: The 316L brushed... 4/5 Michael Horn "mikie" (US Army Combat Support Training Center, Dublin, CA) - See all my reviews, December 11, 2005

  Case diameter is 39mm, not 43mm like the 8926

  (EDIT: Amazon now has the specs correctly listed at 37mm diameter.)Amazon's description is wrong on the case diameter. I bought this watch and the 8926 automatic thinking they were the same size (43mm with crown). Not so, this watch is quite a bit smaller on the wrist, not as heavy(no automatic movement), and the unidirectional bezel is much more loose and cheap feeling.The model # on the back of this watch is 8932AThe 8926 is a MUCH nicer watch and has been on sale for 70 at various times. 3/5 Mac-Tendo Guy (WI United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  I'm very disappointed

  I recieved this watch yesterday and I was very excited. This was not my first Invicta, I've been very impressed with their watches. After I got it home, I put a rubber band on it and then started setting the time. I first noticed that the bezel is very difficult to turn. I thought if I kept working it, it would loosen up. It hasn't so far. Next I noticed that the time keeps stopping periodically. I know it's a quartz, but even early on I expected the watch to keep running in the beginning. Then I look at the warranty card. I admit this is the first time I've had to, and I notice that Invicta wants a $25 check for return shipping. They send me a defective watch and they want money to essentially fix it. I don't think so.....I'm used to very quality from Invicta, so I am very disappointed in this watch. 1/5 Cindy E.

  Simple and just beautiful

  This is just a simple classic and wonderfully sober design; It's beautiful, precise, accurate and an excellent automatic watch; Definitely worth adding to your collection if you have one, and absolutely worth the price, IMO you get a lot more than what you pay for it, like a Swiss ETA 2824 movement, 25 jewels, good lumen on both the arabic markers and pointers, except for the second hand, no lumen there but who cares, I much rather see that beautiful red pointer, 100m/330ft water resistant, nice robust leather band, screw back display case, sapphire crystal ( although no A.R coating ) no big deal, it gives it a more authentic vintage look, and besides, all you'll see on that dial is the reflection of your smile due to the satisfaction of knowing that you made the right choice. I definitely recommend this watch and I would buy it again in a heart beat.I have to admit I was undecided between the this one the 38 mm and the 42 mm, IMO I don't think you can wrong with either one,... 5/5 Jesse Cervantes "Jesse" (Fl) - See all my reviews, January 29, 2010

  clean clear and comfortable

  This is my first hamilton. Withs it black dial with white numerals makes it easy to read. The vintage military look probably WW2 adds to its style or nostagia.The size of the dial is perfect for small wrist. The weight of the watch is fairly light considering it is automatic. The brown leather band feels sturdy, just perfectly matched on to the dial.
