For the past 20+ years, I've always worn a diver's watch. I grew up loving the ocean. I have for the most part always worn a Citizen Pro Master. The watch is always an ice-breaker in my meetings or when I take the train to work. It's like an old pair of your favorite jeans, you just love it. And, it's rugged, water-proof, eye-catcher, wear-it-and-forget-it. It just plain works!!
3rd of these watches, only trust my dive backup to this watch. However, the band?, leaves a lot to be desired. Way too short for anyone with larger wrists, and that extra strap? Why not just add a longer strap into the box. And customer service telling a customer, who just bought a 900$ watch that they can't help him, and to go to a 3rd party, well, that is pretty lazy. I found a 24$ band, in a longer length, that allows me to put this watch on and wear it AND use it around my 3mm shorty. Citizen is really lacking in this department. Love the Eco-drive though.. great feature.
I love this watch the quality the cost and the fact i will never need a battery!!!
I bought the Promaster Aqualand in September and it stopped working 2 months later.
Citizen Response
The bracelets run small. I’d prefer a metal link bracelet that is adjustable.
This is my second Eco Drive dive watch. Quality and durability are un matched. The only complaint I have is the band needs to be longer for those of us with a bigger wrist.
Have it for a few days now: - Power gets discharged from max very quickly literally in just a couple of hours. - Comfortable band but very short! They should have added half inch more to stop customer complaints. - Glass is highly reflective, unlike my other Citizen watches. But in general, I'll keep it for the price as a daily watch. Thank you!
Not my first Promaster, won’t be my last. This watch is sick! Loved my old Promaster…this one blows it out of the water. This watch is slightly bigger, heavier and charged faster than my other Promaster. Looking forward to surfing this summer.
