Every year I cruise I purchase a watch. This year was no exception. To my delight I found this Promaster Altichron. My my my! I believed that there was not another way for Citizen to out perform themselves and oh how I was wrong! This fits perfectly on your wrist and the rubber strap compliments it vey well without pulling on your skin with irritation. The face of the watch is bold with a clear sapphire, black background and red and white hands that glow a rich aqua blue after you have it in the sun a little while. I couldn't wait to get back on the plane home and see how well the watch worked. I was not disappointed at all. As the plane climbed higher and higher the watch performed perfectly telling me how high up we were. The wife kept asking me " how exactly do you know how high up we are again?" I simply pointed to my new art piece. Going cruising again in 8 more days. I wonder just how surprised I will be with another beautiful art piece from Citizen.
Needed calibration out of the box but once complete sensors measured accurately. Second hand is sharp and spot on the indexes. Altitude is accurate. Compass is sensitive to close proximity magnetic fields. No complaints on power reserve or usage. Heavy duty case. Premium quality feel. I'm happy with it.
Looks great and it’s very good. everyday use and everybody likes it
I love watches. Citizen, G-Shock and Seiko are my favs and this one is quickly becoming one of my go tos. Good size and good wrist feel. Was eyeing it for a while and finally pulled the trigger and so glad I did
This is a watch I’ve had my eyes on for years. Top of my “wish list”. It’s extremely durable and looks amazing. Joking aside, if the world were to go to south, post apocalyptic/dystopian times this would be a watch I’d have to have. The only thing missing is an alarm ;)
I bought this watch for a trip to the Colorado mountains so I could keep track of altitude and direction. The watch was spot on the entire trip. The look of the watch is elegant, wears well, easy to read and use the features. I would highly recommend this watch!
GREAT WATCH. EXTRAORDINARILY WELL ENGINEERED. JUST HOPE THAT IT LASTS REALLY LONG FOR THIS PRICE.
What an interesting watch. My first citizen, I’ve only had it for a couple weeks and it continues to impress me. The altimeter function is accurate, the dance that it does when you activate it is always fun to watch. It is a barometric altimeter so it varies with changes in weather, this does help with understanding approaching high or low pressure weather events. The altimeter use very useful for my outdoor activities and I use it more than I thought I would. The compass is a nice addition & always has been accurate. The features, and quality of feel keeps me hopeful that this timepiece will be part of my everyday for years to come
Great watch, wear it almost every day. Only complaint is the strap. This watch needs a stainless bracelet.
Like many I have owned other Citizen watches and have never been disappointed. The Promaster Altichron is no exception at all. This is a very sharp watch. Not difficult to use. Some reviews have mentioned that the hands do not remain illuminated through the night. Well mine apparently is the exception, because it loses nothing as far as illumination all night long. Extremely pleased with everything about this watch. I did change the band, simply because I have a preference in watchbands that are larger. Just a personal thing. It is a decent sized timepiece for sure. Without any hesitation I highly recommend. As I said before. Citizen in my opinion makes excellent watches. Period. I am not easy on them at all, but they have never let me down. When I put a watch on, well it is on. I wear it literally 24/7. Comes off to shower and that is it. Thank you Citizen for once again making a classic, functional and great looking watch.
