Clean design and 'tough' specs make for a well heeled watch. Great for everyday use.
My first non-fitness based watch. I just needed something to tell me the time. It does that. It looks good too. It doesn’t have any silly bells and whistles. Eco-Drive is cool.
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!!
I purchased the Promaster Tough (BN0241-59H) to serve as a durable everyday watch. The eco-drive quartz movement is a big part of this: no winding, super accurate time, no service for 10+ years. The 200 meter WR is also important, allowing for worry-free swimming and snorkeling. The super titanium finish has not shown any wear so far and keeps the watch much lighter than comparable stainless steel watches with 200 meter WR. The 41mm case fits surprisingly well on my 6.75" wrist and is very comfortable. The bracelet is also comfortable and easy to use. It would be nice for the bracelet clasp to have micro adjustment, but the links are short enough to be able to size it for a good fit. The black dial with white numbers and hands is very easy to read, though the date window is small. The luminous hands and markers show brightly at first, though diminish to a modest (but readable) glow that lasts a full night.

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.
The pro master tough model is all I expected it to be, sleek, lightweight with an easy to read dial. The bracket fit was not to my liking so it will need an adjustment. I down loaded the paper sizing band but the watch band does not fit at all? Otherwise, you cannot go wrong with this model.
Lightweight, perfect fit, easy to see day or night. Comfortable and reliable. Great design Citizen! Thank you!
Love this watch I also have the green dial model. If your looking for a watch that can take whatever you throw at it this is it seriously worth every penny
I'm really liking this watch! The dial is quite dramatic and easy to read. I find the watch to be quite attractive. The watch wears well. The titanium is very comfortable. The accuracy so far is great. The price was right. Recommended.
I purchased my first Citizen Eco Drive watch 20 years ago. I am stuck on the Citizen brand and in my humble opinion, one cannot buy a better watch than the Citizen brand. Citizen has an Eco Drive for each and every occasion. I purchased the Promaster Tough to wear while doing yard work, building projects, washing the car, etc. I wanted a watch that was durable, lightweight, and water resistant. People who have held the watch could not believe how lightweight it is. The super titanium watch is unbelievably lightweight and rustproof. The face of the watch is crystal and scratch resistant. Dollar for dollar the Citizen brand cannot be beat.

Takes a little getting used to the dial however seems well built with a nice bracelet and deserving of the "tough" moniker. Bracelet could use half links to make for better fit adjustments.
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!!
