I bought it at Macy's in Garden State Plaza a few weeks ago, and haven't taken it off since. Albert K at the watch department helped and he's my go-to guy. Very comfortable to wear. It feels very strong and quiet visually. Very legible dial, and there's something cozy about the colors and font and general design of this watch. Wish the bracelet tapered a little bit. But I love it like a simple Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date in quartz.
This is my third Citizen eco-drive wristwatch. I have had my first one for 30+ years and it still runs perfectly. I have had Apple watches for the last 10 years, but I’m tired of all the apps constantly disturbing my thoughts and having to raise my wrist and shake it to make the screen display the second hand. I wanted to go back to a simple watch that tells time and date with large characters that are easy to read, that can be seen in the dark and doesn’t need batteries. Citizen provides all that. So, I bought a stainless-steel Citizen eco-drive that fit the bill. Then, Citizen offered an all-titanium watch and band a great sale price. I couldn’t resist the deal. Now I’m the proud owner of a beautiful, comfortable, legible, precision-crafted timepiece I can wear anywhere.
Beautiful, high-quality, lightweight. The dial styling (color, number typography) is quite unique and eye catching. The lum is bright and easy to read in darker settings. Love the build quality. Excellent watch!
Comfortable, light, accurate and great proportions. The smooth edges of the caseback make this watch comfortable for activities like mountain biking, it does not chafe the wrist bone during long rides. The domed sapphire crystal is fun to look at. The numbers are bold and read well. The lume is bright.
While the Promaster Tough is not what I’d consider a go anywhere, do anything watch, because the large Arabic numerals on the dial are wrong for a dress occasion, it is still a great field watch for everyday wear. The looks are good. The muted titanium head piece and bracelet are understated and light on the wrist. The legibility is off the charts. The lume is an all night affair. Sapphire crystal, 200m WR, AND eco-drive? I defy you to find a better grab and go piece at this price point that still looks like something an adult can wear to the office.
What a great looking watch, with large numerals and great lume. This watch is easy to read at any time of day or night. It’s very light weight due to the titanium construction.

Impressive looking watch with a sharp green face. The contrast between the green face and the flat silver band makes a stunning combination. The watch glass appears to have a slight magnification that helps when viewing the dial. The hands have a better than expected illumination when in low light. I am completely satisfied with this watch.
This is my third Promaster Tough. Why three? The Promaster Tough is a great watch. Tremendous accuracy and durability. IMO, good looking in a simple strong way. No fluff. I bought the first and still love it. My best friend passed away and his family gave his Promaster Tough to me. And now, the new face and titanium. I have a few expensive automatic watches. The Promaster Tough does everything they do at a fraction of the price.

I was worried that this watch would be too small since I normally wear 42mm watches. But this Promaster Tough has a very clear and legible watch face. The green color and analog numbers make the watch very easy to read. Can't beat this watch with the sapphire crystal, lightweight titanium band and solar charging.
Tough and easy to view even in low light make it perfect for us seniors with compromised vision. Highly recommend. Difficult to size the band though so have it done before shipping.
I have had the Promaster Tough for a week and have been very impressed. It is very comfortable so light you don’t even know you are wearing a watch. Well made with very bright lume for night time use. Highly recommended!
I'm a big fan of Citizen watches and have several EcoDrive and automatic watches, but this one was really disappointing. It looked much better in the website pictures. I was so disappointed by its appearance that I returned it the next day. On a positive note, the return process was fairly quick and easy. Citizen Watches of America provided a pre-paid UPS return label and authorization. I purchased a Promaster Skyhawk A-T Blue Angels edition instead.
Citizen Response
Overall, I really like this watch. The dial is legible and the green is a lovely shade. However, I have a few issues with the watch…1) the band has very sharp edges (almost dangerously so), particularly the clasp; 2) the band catches and pulls hair like no other watch I’ve worn. I usually sleep with my watches on, and I find this one’s band makes me have to make sure my arm isn’t near my beard for fear of pulling; 3) the lume is very bright, but there is distortion caused by the glass, making the time harder to read in the dark. One other note: the watch was sized correctly, but it was sized on the last micro-adjust hole of the clasp. This was an issue since my arm swells throughout the day. I had to add one of the links back and then adjust the clasp.
I really like the magnified green face of the Promaster Tough watch. My school colors are green and white (Eastern Michigan University), and I wear it to athletic events with my green apparel. Last but not least, I am able to see the time on the watch at night. Thank you for such a nice product.
Great watch. Very light weight and easy to read.
The watch is light in weight, easy to read, and I don't have to wear it every day to keep it running (like the automatics I own.) Looks great and keeps time well. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
