I quite flirtatious for some time so, zuzulegen for everyday life a diver with automatic movement and a Citizen Ecodrive. Because diving watches with quartz movement have a shortcoming: After replacing batteries no longer guaranteed for impermeability, unless you can carry it from the manufacturer or a specially equipped service center. The costs are often more than what a cheap automatic cost. And an everyday watch must be completely waterproof with me. And 30 ATM (300m) should be enough, even if the value is probably more theoretical. In advance I have made myself a little knowledge and then I landed on Citizen (unfortunately I did not like at the affordable Ecodrive models the design), on the East and Nautec at Invicta. The decisive factor was ultimately the price. At first I had my Amazon a Nautec with "Pepsi Bezel" (blue / red) ordered in 42mm diameter, then another 47mm diving watch Nautec. Both have a major shortcoming: the favorable movement in which the second hand stumbles irregular. This is also described in various forums so. There is advised because there is a quality timepiece built for somewhat more expensive Invicta. So I looked at the 8926 ordered, returned the smaller Nautec and am excited about the start.
Shortening the bracelet was not a problem, it's easier if you one of the cheap watchmakers Tool Sets (also available at Amazon) with pusher calls his own, even if the cotter pins are push out much more easily than in Nautec. The bracelet is long enough for stronger wrists and generally somewhat higher quality than that of Nautec.
To carry: the clock is very comfortable, the crown is not too edgy. This is the way bolted and can be the work (NH-35A) also be raised by hand. Another quality feature is the stop-seconds. Also running well, but I am not a person who looks up every night, how many seconds it is different for radio-controlled clock. I have noticed no serious deviations. The second hand moves smoothly and fluently his rounds. The positive overall impression disturbs only the engraved brand lettering on the housing side, I really like, however, the glass floor that allows a view of the quite pretty caliber.
Now I've been thinking whether I even the "big" Invicta 3044 make them with 47mm case diameter. Incidentally, I prefer models that can not be confused with the more expensive watches. So I chose this variant aware.
