Purchased one of the first Eco-Drive dive watches with rubber watch band. Loved it. Ran like a champ for over 20 years. Just had to buy a new one cuz the stem locking threads gave out and a bit of water got in it. Had it serviced once and the factory did it for free cuz they never saw one so old. My only issue is the rubber watch bands get brittle and crack after a few years and you have to replace them.
I actually own a Rolex Submariner too, but I refuse to wear it on a daily basis. This CITIZEN dive watch is my new go-to 24/7 timepiece. I've only had it a few days, but I'm astounded by its recharging technology! And so far, my sole very minor complaint would be that its rotating bezel is difficult to operate with one hand. Perhaps after its more broken-in, this will improve. Would I buy this watch again? Absolutely!!!
I've had this model watch for two years. I can say it's a great watch, that attends me on sports, on weekdays and it's a sophisticated watch to go out at night. It was an excellent cost-benefit purchase.
