My collection consists principally of mechanical watches -- Rolex, Tudor, and Nomos. Because of a health problem,I can no longer move my left arm easily so my automatic watches are difficult to keep wound. the Promaster tough is similar enough in looks to my RolexExplorer-- though the promaster has stick markers where the explorer has its famous numerals, and vice versa. the eco-drive movement keeps the promaster telling time without relying on arm motions to wind/charge the movement. all-in-all the promaster checks all the boxes, including excellent readability.and physical durability. I wear it almost every day, alternating it with other eco-drive watches, including the Garrison green dial on tan leather strap. Eco-drive seems almost miraculous in its genius to power watches , maybe especially for those of us who need a timepiece that is self-sustaining, carefree and foolproof . I am keeping my mechanical watches in the watchbox until I can wear them properly to wind them I will wear and depend on my remarkable citizen eco-drives with great delight until then and no doubt after that, too. what splendid inventions eco-drive and duratect are! .
This is an outstanding Citizen titanium solar sapphire field watch. I currently own three of these exact watches (two gray face and one green face) and will not part with them. This watch keeps great time, is easy to read and has excellent lume. Sizes perfect to my wrist. The bracelet is excellent. Please be aware that the watchband links use pins and very small friction collars (tubes). The small collars must be reinstalled to keep the link pins from moving. This watch meets and exceeds my expectations and criteria for a great watch.
What a great watch! I love this thing. I’ve been looking for a field watch off and on for a while now. I saw some great reviews on the Pro master Tough and decided to jump on it. I’m glad I did. I dressed it down with a Zulu strap and it still looks great. Something that I can wear every day. When I want to dress it back up, I just throw the titanium bracelet back on it. For the special occasions. Great watch. Thank you Citizen.
I was looking for a good dependable watch that I didn't have to treat it like a delicate flower. All it needs to do is keep accurate time that I can wear all the time in the field. This one is it!!
Very comfortable good looking watch. Keeps amazing time. Perfect for seeing in the dark. One of my favorite watches.
The watch looks nice. I hope to use this outside a lot! The case that it comes in is also petty cool! I'm sure it will work fine for a daily driver as well.
Awesome, simple, rugged watch. Perfectly sized for average sized wrists. The only gripe I have is the band adjustment. It would be nice if they provided instructions and a tool to adjust the sizing. For the price of this watch I shouldn’t have to pay a jeweler or search the internet about how to take one of the many band designs apart. In the end I couldn’t find any help at all on it and I ended up buying a tool at harbor freight and even then I didn’t figure things out until I had the band apart. The pins are totally different than my other citizen watch and these are a solid pin that sits inside a roll pin which sits inside the hinge on each link. Just make sure you push the pin out in the direction of the arrow.
Saw that this watch had been restocked and decided to purchase after having read reviews which praised it. The look, quality at this price point, and promise of long-term durability drew me in. I reached out to Citizen USA to get help with a concern pre-purchase and was contacted by Sylvia who was able to assist me in resolving my questions. It was nice to have a single person to communicate with as the messages went back and forth for about a week. I purchased the watch, had it sized, and it was on my wrist two days later. As it turns out, the sizing was spot-on for my 7.25" wrist and the tech who performed this left no trace of their work, including the extra links in the box. Warranty activation was easy and I received an extra year by using the QR code on the included paperwork. Watch keeps excellent time (+5 sec./wk) and is quite comfortable all day long. Other good things: The crystal is distortion-free and the time will come when I appreciate that it is sapphire. Titanium case and band are well made and the coating seems effective so far in keeping it scratch-free. The crown is grippy and finished nicely. The watch face is what drew me to this watch - very legible and in good taste (I do like tool watches so this is a treat). All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and though the watch is really excellent, it was the service I received from Sylvia and the folks at Citizen USA that sold me. This was my first but won't be my last Citizen watch. For the money, perhaps the best watches on the market today.
One year of abuse from extreme heat to extreme cold with some hard hits in between this bad boy is always looking for more and looking good doing it. Titanium that’s light for the fight, boldness that beats the little hands on luxury brands, domed sapphire brings cool distortion with wrist torsion, accurate and reliable as the sunrise, then it captures those rays that’s the real prize. Citizen has an authentic 100 year history and they’re here to stay, this watch is bulletproof with the right DNA. Thank you Citizen I absolutely love my watch!!
