I bought this watch for my husband for Christmas after reading the good reviews. By May, after only light wear the band broke in a way that could not be repaired and Citizens would not replace it. I would not recommend the watch or the brand.
So, I owned an Omega Seamaster and I loved the watch. It was stolen about 15 years ago and I always wanted to replace it. However, with kids in college, I just could not justify the expense but I did want a new watch in that same style. After a lot of looking and reading, I decided on the Citizen Promaster Diver. I could not be happier. I have had it for 11 months now. It keeps perfect time, is very comfortable and looks great. If I am being honest, I like it more that my Omega. If I could change one thing, I would prefer a sapphire crystal but, after 11 months, I do not have a single scratch on the glass. Just an outstanding watch at really good price point. I rarely take the time to write reviews but I love this watch and I hope it helps someone.
Citizen Response
I love my new Citizen diver (BN0191-55L). Heavy on the wrist, it is very comfortable. Larger that a vintage dive watch, its stunning look does not overpower my 7" wrist (photo). The beautiful design echoes luxury watches, like the Omega Seamaster or Tag Heuer Aquaracer, but for a fraction of the price. The brushed stainless-steel bracelet with polished stripes has an elegant shine. It can be finely adjusted with three pin holes. The color of dial and bezel is a classy flag blue, almost black in low light, with splendid navy-blue effects in bright light. The bezel rotates easily - with 60 convenient clicks - and stays firmly in place once set. The green lume is easily readable in the dark, even the second-hand spot. The watch came in a fancy box: more fun than practical. The date window is too small for some, yet maintains the dial symmetry. My old Citizen Eco-Drive has been running perfectly since more than a decade. I know my new diver will run forever. Overall, a stunning and reliable diver at a reasonable price.
Exquisite engineering, simple yet elegant looks. Due to quartz movement it just keeps time. Pleasantly surprised at the build quality (especially the bezel and the dial). My previous Invicta can’t hold a candle against this piece. Big enough on my 7 3/4 wrist, but small enough to not look bulky.
I bought this watch two years ago and it is superb. It only loses five seconds per month. Quite accurate.It has a nice weight to it.I wish citizen would make this watch in gold tone with champagne face.
The last Promaster Diver I had lasted over twenty years. Never lost a second and always kept its power. Also withstood fishing in saltwater. Best watch I ever had. This one will not disappoint. Thanks.
Absolutely love the watch. It’s exactly what I was hoping for
Very smart but not overly blingy. A touch of class. But nick808 is wrong about Seiko. Nearly all their divers watches are 6425 compliant. Your not allowed to put the word diver on the dial unless it's 6425 certified
Love the watch … fits perfectly, rugged and presentable as well .
