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.
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
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.
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”....

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.
Love this watch! It’s built solid and with great materials not to big or to small fits just right very light while wearing I forget it’s on my wrist I think the dive tables on the band adds a nice touch! I’ll be buying from citizen in the near future!!
Bought this watch for myself. I love it. I own two Eco Drive watches, one of them dressy.
There is something oddly refreshing about the perfect tool watch. A watch engineered specifically for a purpose, and that delivers on that purpose in a basic, no-frills, kind of way. One that you can beat around and wear it's scars as a symbol of pride. A watch you don't have to handle with kid gloves. A watch that is built to last, but also easy to replace. This may be Citizen's least expensive dive watch, but in my opinion it is also their best. Simply because it delivers what it promises, nothing more, and at a price point that is hard to beat. One can marvel at the engineering prowess demonstrated in their 1000m professional diver model, but almost none of us are diving in saturation diving conditions that require a helium release valve, or a locking bezel. We buy it because we think it's cool. And that's ok. If you have the spend. But truth be told, most of us won't ever seriously stress out the base model BN0151-09L reviewed here, and that is why I like it so much. At 100ft, this watch performs the exactly the same as the one costing 10x as much. An ISO certified dive watch, that is certified 4x recreational dive depths, for under $250. What's not to love? This watch doesn't boast a fancy "sunburst" dial, or jewels. Everything about this watch is done to make it easy to dive with and nothing more. Plain and simple. From the orange highlight on the minute hand, to the easy to read lume, to the polyurethane band which allows for expansion of the wetsuit when wet. There is almost nothing on this watch simply for show, except perhaps the engraving on the crown. This is the very definition of a tool watch. And while some might prefer a sapphire crystal, those of us who dive know that scratches have a tendency to simply disappear underwater, which is where this watch calls home. Again, another example of simply providing what is needed, and nothing more. The Eco-Drive provides quartz accuracy without the need to replace batteries. Thus ensuring that your dive watch maintains it's water resistance until you need to replace your seals. If you want to take your dive watch out to dinner, or show off it's "helium release valve" to your buddies, then feel free to purchase one of Citizen's more expensive Promasters. But if you are looking for a simple, easy to use, no frills, affordable dive watch, then look no further than the one here.
Got this watch as a gift and i have to say it's easily my favorite watch ever. Definitely would recommend this to anybody.
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 purchased the watch last week it is stylish and professional for work or play. I prefer for play and casual dress but is professionally crafted.
After reviewing videos, reviews, etc. decided to add this durable, low maintenance, blue dial/bracelet dive watch to the collection. Very pleased! Worked immediately right after unboxing, seems to be keeping excellent time for these 1st 2 or so months. Like the look, band is fine although I may add a new one for a different look. Strong recommend at this reasonable price point.
Had my 1st CITIZEN divers watch in 1985, while a teenager and was extremely found of it. Now, after years of owning hundreds of various brands/models, I decided to return to my "1st love"! I'm quite impressed with its fine quality and unmatched accuracy. Way to go, CITIZEN , you just made me feel like a joyous teen again! Thank you.
Purchased just over a month ago. Have worn it constantly. Comfortable to wear, maintain a accurate time. Currently own several Citizen watches. All top quality..
