Why It's a Big Deal
Based on looks alone, dive watches seem like the kind of timepiece you'd need to spend serious cash on to get something reliable that’s actually water-ready. The truth is, if you’re not picky about movements and enjoy timeless designs, you can find a nice watch for under $200. That’s exactly what you get with Invicta’s 40mm Pro Diver.
Invicta’s 40mm Pro Diver Automatic Watch is just $110 at ShopHQ right now, making it a reasonable price that fits any budget. This one hits every mark you should be looking for in an affordable diver: solid mechanics, wrist-worthy sizing, and real water resistance. At just over $100, it's a fantastic daily beater that doesn’t scream "cheap."

Like many Invicta watches, this diver sticks to the essentials. It has a classic black dial that’s housed in an easy-wearing 40mm case (a nice Goldilocks size). Opting away from a typical Oyster bracelet, this model instead uses a lighter and more breathable mesh bracelet, which gives it a vintage appeal. It wears cleanly and proportionally on most wrists, features a rotating bezel and screw-down crown, and has a 14.1mm-thick design that feels substantial without being cartoonish.
Don’t get this more reasonably sized diver confused with the brand's other, massively dominating 47mm version, which can be polarizing for some. This 40mm model offers better versatility and is more restrained, sitting much closer to other traditional divers that range from 39mm to 42mm. What you won’t find too often is a price this aggressive in terms of markdowns, and that’s thanks to ShopHQ’s excellent pricing strategies.
What Is ShopHQ?
ShopHQ specializes in all kinds of deals, but we find it's a good place to source deals on men's watches. These are generally limited-run models, but it allows the retailer to sell this model, and others like it, for well below MSRP.
While some of its offerings are from lesser-known brands, Invicta is one we're very familiar with and one you should feel confident wearing.
You won’t find many mechanical watches this affordable that don’t cut corners on function, or looks, for that matter. This Invicta Pro Diver is about as classically handsome as they come, and with a price this low, it won’t be around for long.
