Invicta Hydromax Quartz V Automatic GMT

[@dado380]

I am always stunned how manny people are diehard Invicta fans,as a Seikopath I really respect them!!

[@wristopia4101]

Haha 😈👍

[@mogret7451]

Those are some thick watches.

[@afa4km]

I’m so glad you are a watch channel not hating on Invicta like all the others I just got the Hydromax Automatic NH34 GMT like yours and I love it I hope your channel succeeds and grows as you’ve got great presence and interesting content All the best good sir

[@wristopia4101]

Thanks dude, and glad you love the watch. I try to keep it real and the only thing I hate on is hate. Friendly banter is ok though haha.

[@martincope8392]

I used to wear them a lot many years ago,and to be honest I never had a problem with any of them,I'm tempted to purchase this one.

[@wristopia4101]

Hi, It's a lot of fun so let me know if you do get one. It's 195 euro currently, but you should be able to get a 10% off code from site.

[@gazookerman1328]

I've got three of these, two quartz and one automatic meteorite dial...I like the automatic one, but when you come to do a battery change on the quartz versions, you will be surprised at the amount of space inside the watch. The quartz movement is tiny compared to the void inside the watch. I don't believe that the escape valve serves any function at all, and is just a gimmick. The bracelet is made from folded links also and not solid links, although it appears to be at first glance. Still a fun watch to wear though. Good review of a chunky watch, not to be taken seriously. I love Invictas by the way.....

[@wristopia4101]

Yes, I am under no illusion how silly the quartz movement will look, but hopefully being impressed by the surrounding 'superstructure' holding it in place will make up for it! Hahaha

[@idonjohnson6999]

Oh snag, didn't know they made an automatic version of the GMT version. I bought the quartz a few year back. Just for fun because it's so over the top, it's just cool..

[@wristopia4101]

I want to oil fill the quartz 😈

[@idonjohnson6999]

@@wristopia4101 lol why?

[@wristopia4101]

@@idonjohnson6999 Just to see what it looks like. It's such a deep dial that it could look cool. I will probably never get around to it though.

[@MichaelAChang]

I have a Hydromax Reserve (Ronda GMT) quartz that I enjoy owning. I never wear it but it's a great conversation piece! I might oil-fill it just for fun.

[@wristopia4101]

Fantastic 😈 Oil filling would certainly look cool I think ; )

[@wu17]

i have my invicta pro diver nh35 for so many years, still works perfectly fine, now i would say i need a second invicta watch but im afraid that my 7 inch wrist is too small for the hydromax

[@wristopia4101]

Good to hear some Invicta Love. Yep, it's a beast and more of a novelty for me but I love them. Check out the Special Edition Pro Diver (I will look up the Ref shortly). Its slightly bigger than yours but I much prefer it.

Im starting to like invicta, they seem to piss off all the right people, and I heard they are just as good as a rolie! might need to pick one up!

Just under a hundred pounds isn't the price. It is beautiful like a sculpture or ornament I think i will hang one on my Christmas tree this year.

Pick a sturdy branch! not a bad idea though. If I win the lottery an Invicta Christmas Tree would be great.

[@LeadPhalanx-zv6wx]

I like big watches and I wear them.. These days I'm an Aragon fan but I like that watch you're showing very cool watch I may have to get one but it does seem very thick

[@wristopia4101]

Hi, yes, I get a lot of recommendations for Aragon so will check them out again. The Invicta is overly thick, which is a bit of a shame in some ways, although I like it for what it is.

[@BCallum]

These are a bit large for me. I have the 1953 in black and Batman. My wife has the Sub in gold and black dial. Cheers!!!

[@wristopia4101]

I saw a really nice looking small case Pro Diver with arabic numerals (numbers) on the Jura watches website. Came in steel and two tone. It was captioned as 'ladys'. Think it was 38mm?

[@FlorinC1984]

You sound like Michael Caine. Nice video. I myself am sort of an Invicta fan, not of their whacky designs thoughs and I have 2 Invictas: - the golden 1953 with the green dial, which is gorgeous in real life, has a yellow rotor, impeccable bezel action and build quality on par with a Orient Kamasu (and the same accuracy of +4 secs a day); I was expecting to be disappointed, I am delighted instead. I plan on buying the classic 1953 and the rose-gold 1953 as well. As I said, build quality is awesome, - a classic blue dial golden accents "submariner", 40mm, with the basic grey rotor. Visibly lower quality than the 1953 (but still better than the lower-end Seikos) and the accuracy is all over the place. It's + 30 secs right now. I was expecting to be deligthed, I am kind of disappointed. I was planning to get a "Hulk" Invicta soon, I am reconsidering it.

[@wristopia4101]

Wow, Michael Caine is easily the best comment I have received 😍 Thank you 😎 The Hydromax is a lot of fun, I 100% agree that Invicta have some true gems that people should not overlook. The Pro Diver SE is the best one that I have, and the Casio Duroesque Grand Diver is another ; )

[@thetruthhurts7500]

I know how you feel....I wear the Rolex Black Dial Deepsea Sea Dweller and all my Rolex friends think I'm nuts because the watch is so big.... Its not easy being a real man is it?

[@wristopia4101]

Haha, That reminded me of a Borat sketch. I bet Ali G loves Invicta! There is one that's half watch, half double Goldie Looking Chain.

[@gavinBsussex]

Hello mate, you okay? Missing the Invicta content…..

[@wristopia4101]

Hi Gavin, So kind of you to ask ; ) Yes, not too shabby thanks. Have been away to Scotland, but planning a couple or three videos in the next couple of days. Invicta will get a mention lol!

[@gavinBsussex]

Glad to hear you are well. Looking forward to seeing whatever comes next. I tried on the Summer blue Ultra Deep this week and was really impressed. Be interested to see the Ultra Deep stack up against one of these Hydromax Invictas. Luxury mega diver vs budget version sorta thing.....

[@wristopia4101]

@@gavinBsussex I have not seen any of the Summer Blues in the flesh, but I felt the standard blue graduated dial was the one to go for, as it has a bigger variety of colours and precious metal (which I do not think the Summer Blue does?). I am also not keen on the graffiti stuff. My fave was the Planet Ocean Summer Blue, but it was only in the smaller 38mm. This ironically should be a big seller, but people only focus on the SMP300 unfortunately.

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

Grand Seiko doesn't even know who invicta is.

[@wristopia4101]

They certainly do not know what tool less micro adjust is ; )

[@Libertà_sulla_vita]

@wristopia4101 I see what you getting at but I'd argue Grand Seiko manufactures their clasps whereas Invicta is most certainly buying off-the-shelf clasps from China. They aren't the only brand guilty of this. It's one way to keep prices low. I bought the same one on Aliexpress for a mod watch I built a while back.

[@sharpe340-]

I liked the video because I like you. As for those watches?...I have nothing to say.

[@wristopia4101]

Haha thanks man! Really nice of you to say, and I completely understand you feelings on the watches! Very diplomatic ; )

[@khatfull]

Could you please stop moving the watches around all the time, can't even get a look at the damned things. Also, where's the GMT hand on the black one?

[@wristopia4101]

Sorry, good point well put. The black one is not a GMT, which makes the blue one all the better!

[@gavinBsussex]

Possibly the world’s greatest watch. Especially when you look at the price. If it was any cheaper then Invicta would be paying you to wear it. Glad you love it, it’s too big even for me and I love a big chunky watch as well….. nice fun video buddy

[@daleyfamily2179]

Grand Seiko can take a lesson from Invicta lol. OK if you say. SMH

[@wristopia4101]

There are many people who have sold and/or will never buy a Grand Seiko again due to not having any adjustment on the clasp. Neither my AD stores manager or the Grand Seiko rep at the stores Grand Seiko event I attended knew what was needed to get my bracelet to fit me 3mm better by manipulating link combinations. I then had to pay £95 for an additional link to get the 3mm adjustment I needed, and changing multiple Grand Seiko links is not a great experience. Lots of people are wearing very poorly fitting Grand Seiko's IMO, so I feel my comment was fair.

[@BeardmanDan]

Calm down

[@EBBE-uf2wp]

Want a good laugh? Open up the quartz and see how tiny the movement is.

[@wristopia4101]

Some things are best unseen! I will be opening up a Casio Duro quartz soon and that is funny enough ; )

[@maverickwatchreviews]

You seem like a nice enough guy so I'll be as nice as I can. It just AMAZES me that anyone with two brain cells would buy an Invicta over literally any other watch brand. They're pure garbage mate and even have a "F" rating with the Better Business Bureau in Florida where they're based out of. Please explain to me how you overlook the unnecessarily huge size/weight, incredibly cheap quartz(in most)movements, gaudy style, insanely shady MSRP pricing and horrible customer service. These watches are simply for those that know nothing(nor seemingly care to learn) about what makes a quality watch. What is the allure?

[@wristopia4101]

I do not choose them over other watches. They are in addition to them. Have you seen my other watches? Invicta are fun and seem to get people talking, which is a good thing IMO

[@maverickwatchreviews]

@@wristopia4101 The fact that you even own an Invicta is proof that your watch knowledge is severely lackimg ;)

Why not just slap a grandfather clock on your wrist? Or a brick with a dial? No style whatsoever. At the end of the day your watch arm is longer than the other!
