I normally wear rubber strap watches since I am in and out of water any other day (snorkeling, beach, spearfishing, pool) and after having this model for a little longer than a year, I can say I love it! Comfortable, resistant and reliable the watch looks great on the wrist. I even stopped wearing some of my other watches.get plenty of compliments and people is surprised to see its a citizen. Never bother about winding (sun and artificial light do this for me (ecodrive) the Luminescent hands and marker last forever and with a depth of 200 m no concerns when going deep dives. The rubber they selected for strap never smells ( awesome) and the rose gold tone make it such a beautiful eye catching time piece. You’ll love it.
I wanted a dive watch that had a unique color scheme, but wasn’t ostentatious. This watch is beautiful in person. Great Citizen quality, as always.
Love the watch, always had the silver and black. Just wanted a gold one . Have owned a dive watch from Citizen for 50 years.
I recently purchased this watch from a major retailer for myself. I've been wearing a Samsung watch for the past few years and will never give it up but was looking for an analog style watch to purchase. After seeing advertisements for Citizen watches I purchased the promaster watch in gold and black. (bn0163-00h) This is a fantastic looking watch that is well designed and I'm sure will be a big seller. When I purchased the watch I knew it only had a 44mm wide case and I generally don't purchase cases that small. It's too bad Citizen doesn't get away from the old school small faces and go with larger case size in 2023. The only thing that could make this watch a home run would be a larger case.
looking at all the pictures, it does show a gray band.... not black. I think viewers were not observant therefore thought it was a black band... its clearly gray

This timepiece has been reliable and has exceeded my expectations. I use it quite often while swimming for exercise. I often get compliments on it. Still looks great after several years of ownership. If you purchase one you won’t regret it. I especially appreciate the tough looking dive chest box I store it in when I am not wearing in it. It’s great for display purposes. This watch is my daily driver! I own several Citizen watches and have gifted them and they are much appreciated! Especially the Eco drive feature. Citizen thanks for making amazing watches that are a great value!
I purchased this watch thinking the picture showed a black band on it. However it arrived with a gray one, and I'm told there is no black band available for it.
Really nice solid watch that looks fantastic. The lume on it is very nice too. The bezel has a nice solid feel to it and rotates great. Am not a fan of the grey band. First, it is really stiff/rigid. I think black would really compliment this better and have a similar black rubber band with a rose gold buckle on its way.
Watch is excellent. But Citizen failed to keep me updated with delivery track number, I had to email several times, and I did call multiple times and nobody answered either. I did get the watch delivered by surprise, not expecting it.
This watch spoke to me to fill a look for my collection of water safe watches to fish and swim with confidence. The grey and hybrid rose gold looks great with the face detail and the red details. The watch is fueled by light! Perfect for being on the water.
A friend recently introduced me to Citizen. I am very impressed with the eco-drive concept. I bought this watch as an “everyday, casual” watch. While I love the watch, and the look of the watch, I hate the band! I’ve already ordered a new, aftermarket replacement band. It is way too stiff. It doesn’t have any give and this the watch never sits in my wrist properly.
I bought the black and silver version of this watch a number of years ago. It has been a fantastic watch. Keeps very accurate time. It's off a couple of seconds a month. It has help up snorkeling and general use. Still looks new. I love the new colors. I have so many watches though that I can't seem to pull the trigger on more watches.
I needed a nice thank you gift for someone that helped me at my work. Being a professional pilot for over 50 years I am kind of a watch nut. Watches that range from Rolex to Casio. I have owned a Citizen Eco Dive for many years. The watch has been 100% bulletproof. Zero maintenance has been required. It just keeps running, and I am hard on watches. So I thought what a better gift that another Citizen Eco Dive. That watch came in a very cool presentation case that resembles a scuba dive tank. The watch came with the gray band that I thought looks great. The watch itself is very attractive. The face is very beautiful. The bezel is nice. But, most of all the person receiving the gift was very happy with it. I hope it brings him many many decades of continuous good use.
