Hi, my name is Joe and I'm a watch enthusiast. I freely admit it. I have dozens upon dozens of watches. Many G-shocks. Some other Citizens. Other brands. How I missed the Promaster Tough until now is beyond me. I love a tough watch. Unlike most of my g-shocks, this Citizen Promaster is smaller and MUCH lower profile (height). While I typically like a slightly larger case diameter (44mm), 42mm is okay but it's the lowest I'll go. If this matters to you, the second hand hits the center of all of the minute markers around the dial. The monocoque case back is rather unique and makes the watch both tougher and lighter. This watch looks beautiful, is VERY lightweight on this strap, is super comfortable, and is no doubt a tough watch. Thing is, it would fit in well on a hike or at a campsite, but also out on the town at a nice restaurant. It is a GOOD LOOKING watch!! The dial is simple yet very easily readable. I know from previous experience that Eco-drives are basically bulletproof in reliability. And Citizen has amazing Customer Service. Glad I found this Promaster Tough!!!
I really like this watch. I wear it daily, whether going to work or mowing the yard or just watching TV. The band was a little stiff, but its breaking in nicely. I've worried about scratching it, but after hitting it on metal several times, it seems pretty tough. Nothing fancy, doesn't do 17 different things, just does its one job well.
Bought another citizen watch a few weeks earlier but it didn’t have the sapphire cover and it/the chrome scratches really easily. This was a great price at Macy’s so I bought it and love it. I have a 7” wrist and I wear it on the 4th to last band hole which fits perfectly and there’s room to move when temps get warm and skin expands. Lume is very bright for several minutes and and just a second in the sun lights the lume up during the day and you can see the markers pop with color. I wanted something that looked clean and didn’t have a cluttered face. Great finish, easy to work the crown and hope to have this for years!
