Promaster Dive BN0260-54L

This is my first quality watch and must say I’m very pleased. The fit and finish are first rate. The look and feel are fantastic. If I had one issue, it is that the bezel is not centred at top dead centre. It’s off to the right about one degree. This will be my everyday watch for years to come.

Beautiful watch

The watch is beautiful! It’s the perfect present for my soon to be husband I’ll be gifting him on our wedding day! If I had to say one negative it would be, citizen gave the option to leave a note, which I thought would be on like a small card in the box like Amazon does when you leave notes with gifts. Instead, the “note” was just left on the receipt, which I obviously wouldn’t plan on giving to the person the gift was intended for so thought that was an odd place to put it.

Love the watch

So far I haven't had the watch long enough to formulate any complaints I purchased this because it is solar powered, sapphire crystal, and it has date. These are qualities I plan to enjoy a long time. What I don't enjoy and why not 5 stars is the bracelet has a cheap feel and it bothers me enough I'm hoping to replace it soon. Honestly, I won't be able to enjoy the watch until I can get a better quality bracelet put on. So to be more accurate, the watch is a 5 and the bracelet a 3 at best.

Great value, many positives.

My new Blue Promaster Dive BN0260-54L looks great & keeps time nearly perfectly. Posititves: Good bezel action, sapphire crystal is a great feature, 200m water resistant, Eco Drive for very long battery life, and I am told that the maintenance service from Citizen is fairly reasonable. A few areas for improvement: Subjective feel on wrist is that it is a little small - a perfect size would be 42 or 42.5mm, and with a bigger date window. As it is, the date is hard to read and certain numbers get lost in the small space. I do like the micro adjustable feature on the bracelet for perfect fit, but think that the bracelet in general could be a little more substantial and refined. The lume on the dials is good - not great but good. If Citizen kept all the positives and made a few changes to the date window, small increase in size, made the bracelet a little better and bumped up the dial lume, it might be the perfect tool watch. I would pay a bit extra and feel like it was still worth it. Overall, good execution and a good everyday watch or backup watch. 4.5 stars.

Great size for a diver

The 40mm case size is perfect and the quality and finish is excellent. The appearance of the face is straightforward and uncluttered - a classic look. Accuracy is surprisingly great even by quartz standards. You get all the advantages of Citizen's other divers in a much more wearable size.

Promaster Dive Blue

Excellent finish. Very comfortable to wear and looks amazing on wrist. Highly recommended.

Great watch

Happy I chose Citizen. The sapphire crystal offers reassuring durability for daily wear with excellent clarity. The eco drive powers the watch much longer than a normal battery, and with nearly unmatched accuracy compared to automatic movements in this price range. I only set the time once weeks ago, and it’s still on point. The wristband exceeded my expectations, the complimentary sizing and tool-less adjustment gives the perfect fit.

Superb!

Excellent in service--watchband length, prompt delivery, as advertised, wonderful timekeeper!

Absolutely loves this watch

This was a Christmas present for my husband. He absolutely loves it. The watch looks really nice on his arm. The luminous hands are a big plus. His last 2 watches ended up with scratched crystals, so this one is a huge upgrade with the scratch free sapphire crystal.

Returned

The casing and bracelet was well made and well finished, but bracelet feels light, thin, and unsubstantial. The second hand hits less than half of the second indices dead-on. For this price I expect better in this area. Even a 60 USD Casio Duro (although it is not solar/light powered) is able to hit all second indices perfectly. The watch also wears too small on my 7.5 inch wrist, good for people who are looking for vintage size. Maybe good for the price point of ~300 USD, but not for me. I will continue searching for the perfect budget diver.
