Very comfortable,keeps time perfectly, see time clearly in the dark with well lit arms and time dots. Face color matches band, adding to the rich look of the watch. I am very satisfied with my purchase and recommend highly.
Best watch I've owned to date. Incredibly reliable, tough and very useful. I love the bezel clicks, very high quality. The lum is fantastic, it literally lasts all night long. I glance at it throughout/early morning and can clearly tell the time with just the lum. I always fin myself choosing this as a daily. The color is gorgeous in the sunlight. For the price, this is one of the highest values you will find. I find it wears small for a 44mm ( I have a 6.5" wrist) and it is extremely comfortable. I use the timer on the bezel for just about everything including baking lol
Very comfortable synth strap on a stylish and easy to read watch face. I have taken it snorkeling shortly after purchase and it held up well. Easy to read dial face. This is my 5th eco drive watch from citizen. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and this watch fits perfectly fine. Perfectly acceptable size for even smaller wrists. I have seen some model of dive watch with dive times on the strap. This one is a plain blue strap. If youre looking for your first dive watch, look no further.
I bought the watch after some time of consideration and reading reviews on Amazon. It is on my wrist right now as I'm typing this review.I wasn't disappointed indeed. The watch turn out to be great, love the lume and it's thinner than i expected. Although it didn't have Decompression units on the strap. I really appreciated the package and how Citizen employees packed it with air pillows for better security, certainly a big plus for me. Overall, I do recommend this model for dive watch enthusiasts out there, a really robust and charming masterpiece!
I have had a one month ago, and i just like this beautyful watch!!!
I have been lucky enough to have owned a load of different watches over the years, but in my opinion this Promaster Diver (BN0151-09L) is a cut above them all. Such a clear face and as far as it's blue lume goes, there's nothing out there to beat it. Perfect time keeping too. If there was one thing I could change it would be the bezel insert, I would love to get a "Pepsi" (Blue and Red) version for it. Also, it's a pity you can not buy the stainless steel bracelet that comes with the BJ7128-59G and the BN0150-61E.
First let me say this is my first watch of this style. I own a few other of Citizens bigger more elegant watches and wanted one of these for when I am being active, out on a hike or something. My biggest complaint is that the watch needs a magnification window over the date, or the date just needs to be a bit bigger. I mean this is meant to be an active watch with the option to dive with. If I am under water or on a hike I want to be able to look at my watch very quickly and get whatever information I am looking for... The watch band feels alright. It probably needs to be broke in a bit. I am used to wearing Citizen clasp bands that are on their heavier watches that out of the box conform really nice to your arm usually. The face could be a bit bigger as well for my taste. I am a bigger guy, 6’3” 210 lbs so I am sure it is just right if your a bit smaller of a person. Overall I am keeping it because on sale it was right at $200 and it’s the only style watch I now own of this kind and it’s handy when I don’t want to wear a $500-$1000 watch on a hike or a swim. Also it seems like more of a pain at this point to go they the whole return process when simply put. “It will do”....

I have the Stainless Steel Band version of this lovely watch, and I have had Similar divers type watches in the past and can say I love the design of the watch, especially the wind/time change pull out pin. I decided to purchase the Black version as this looks more Professional and resembles a divers watch. Enjoy Ade
Got mine today! Loved it! This watch is really remarkably beautiful in person! #Ideal_fit ⌚#Citizen_Eco_Drive_Promaster
Got this as a gift. And being in the military. It’s a great all around watch in the field or out and about
Unboxing this was very appealing, to include the case it came in, which looked like a helium tank. Unfortunately the turn dial to change the time and date was stuck. Once I finally got it unstuck the dial is loose. Hopefully in the future this can be resolved.
My first diver‘s watch. Always wanted a watch that was actually waterproof, kept the correct time, and never needs a battery. Would like to see the option of a different band so it can be worn as a semi dress watch. Love it!
I have had it 6 months or so now. Great looks. Great functionality. Live on the coast so lots of water exposure with zero issues. Typical Citizen product... Just great.
The watch and band are very nice. They look great. The scuba tank packaging is a dumb concept. There is no need for that waste of plastic.

I bought this for my husband, and he loves it. Looks really cool, and it is very good quality. My husband is a fan of diving watches, and this one is so nice with the features he needs at a good price. He didn't love the band it came with so I replaced it with a NATO band, and it looks really nice. When it arrived, it was not working, and it took a while (2 days sitting in the sun) to get it ticking, but since then it's been great.

I bought this watch 3 years ago and I love it! I wear it every day. I am not really a diver, but I like swimming and snorkeling and this is a great watch for this purpose. Excellent value for its price. Makes me feel as if I am on summer vacations year-round. Highly recommend!
Nice easy to use and easy to set watch. Easy to understand instructions. Watch is everything I was looking for in looks without being flashy. I would highly recommend this watch.
My new Citizen Promaster Diver is wonderful. I set it when I first received it, and it has been accurate to the second (over two weeks). I want to send in my #7878-H10716 in and see if it can be repaired, so I won't have to wear my new one when I'm working in the garage on my hot rod.

nice looking watch keeps time well so far. band is ok. would be nice if there was a fine tune fit like on the buckle. seems too tight in one hole-too loose in the next. if there were two holes in the rubber by the buckle you fine tune the fit.
1st luminous dial watch I have had that is easily visible all night.
I gave myself this watch as an early Christmas present. Besides being sturdy and built to withstand the elements I've always liked the look of a nice dive watch, and had my eye on this one for a little while. The picture doesn't do the face justice as it is almost a denim blue the same color as the band with a darker blue bezel, very easy to read at a glance. The lume on this watch is the best of my three dive watches and better than my other watches too. Even when in deep shadow in the daylight you can pick up the blue glowing hands and hour markers and without "charging" the lume with a strong light it glows on my nightstand all night, amazing. It has quickly become my favorite everyday watch. The band is quite sturdy but still very supple and the slight almost cloth-like texture on the skin side keeps it from sliding around. Some watches of this type can be rather large and clunky for everyday casual wear, this one is very comfortable and not too big. I have received several compliments especially on the nice blue color. I own two other Eco-Drives, the oldest 15 years so I expect I will be enjoying this one for quite a while.
