I have had this watch for the past 8 months. I swim with it multiple times a week. Love it. I have a 6 in wrist. (See photo)
Beautiful watch for the money. My daughter loves it.
What a fantastic watch! Love the eco-drive and the size makes it a perfect everyday watch that doesn't get in the way. Even the strap was better than I had anticipated. Blows Seiko out of the water these days.
I bought this watch from the Citizen website a few days ago. The buying transaction went perfectly. The packaging was excellent, and shipping was fast. Based on the history and reputation of the 44mm version of this watch, I'm confident it will remain accurate and reliable for many years.
I researched before buying my first diver and I’m very happy with this watch. The look to me is classic, it has precise bezel movement and the resetting was a breeze. The placing of the crown on the 4:00 position was something that I wanted to have in a watch and am glad I found in this diver.
I love the style, functionality, and comfort of this watch. My only recommendation would be to include specific instructions for time & date adjustments. I wasn’t able to pull out the winding “knob” and thought about trying pliers. An internet search of other brands said to spin the knob counter-clockwise. When I did that, the knob popped out allowing me to reset the date! Instructions did not mention this! I could have ruined the watch with pliers.

I love the specs for this watch. I just wish they made the glass scratch-resistant also, thus, the 4-stars. I haven't worn it yet, I just read it from another person's review. Overall I am happy with my purchase of this watch, I got it for a very good price (black Friday deal).
Like the proportions, they just seem right as I don’t like huge watches on my wrist. Do wish the case could be a little bit thinner, maybe 10mm instead of 12mm and it would be perfect.
Love the watch size. The band isn’t so loved, it wants keep the watch off center of my wrist. The date for some reason will not stay accurate. I guess I’ll have to send it back
At first the size seemed small. But once I changed out the band for a diving nylon one from CNS, the watch fits perfect. I wanted a daily watch that could take my abuse. This Promaster is replacing a Vaer C4 that I killed in 3 years of use. Now, the size is an asset as in the whitewater & mountainous environments I frequent. Still, I can read the time clearly and without my glasses while on the water.
Really is a good watch. The strap is the only thing that is keeping this from being a 5 star for me. It would be nice if it had more stretch or more adjustability in the fit. In the end this can be swapped so not the end of the world but would be great if it came perfect. Pro- size is smaller so it looks 'right' on smaller wrists Pro- dial is easy to read in most light settings Pro- bezel can be used for time elapsed Pro- eco drive is great to never think about batteries just put it on and wear it Not sure- only had it a few weeks and already have one small scratch on the glass, time will tell how good it holds up Con- strap seems to never be perfect, would be nice if it was a more pliable durometer. It doesn't every feel terrible but is never perfect.
I like the watch, but the date window is so small it is almost useless.
