I love it!

I have the BN0261-51e black dial. Saw it advertised in Spain & Italy a month or two ago. I finally saw it on the Citizen USA website 7 June and ordered it. Got it 11 June. It’s exactly what I wanted. Perfect size, looks great on my 7.25 in wrist. Bezel is smooth. The tool less micro adjusting clasp is fantastic (I adjust the fit a couple times a day)! Solar panels on my roof and in my watches.

This is the perfect watch for my everyday needs, and it is truly impressive in its understated elegance and reliability.

Good watch

I was looking for a diver style watch that fit well on my 6.8” wrist, was solar powered, and this is perfect. Thickness is 11.5mm with a bezel diameter of 40.4mm. It doesn’t say if it has an anti reflective coating on the sapphire, but compared to others in my collection it would seem to.

Promaster BN0261

I like the look, size and feel of the watch. The only negative is the second hand hits none of the markers. I have a Promaster BN0150 and a Garrison and both hit them all.

Good But Not Great

On totality, this is a beautiful looking watch, especially for the price point. The dial shines beautifully in the sun, the 41mm fits perfectly on the wrist, and the bezel has a nice 60 point clicking action. However, the bezel also has some play so it doesn’t line up perfectly with the indices unless you scoot it onto them, and even then it doesn’t stay. If there’s one thing I can’t ignore or stand on a dive watch, it’s a misaligned bezel. The Eco-Drive is also one of the best technologies ever produced for watches which makes this a top tier option because of the reliability and accuracy.

Great watch - could be improved

Banger of a watch. Good size, dial looks nice. The minute hand needs to be a little longer, it doesn't reach the actual minute marks. The bezel insert also looks a little cheap - not sure what it is about it, maybe the font used or something. Good bracelet though. Would love to see this offered as a mechanical / automatic movement in addition to eco-drive.

Nice watch

Nice dive watch. Looks great. Not a fan of the bracelet. I put it on a NATO strap and took it hiking and rafting and it’s doing great so far. The lume is pretty good.

Good not great

This is a good-looking watch, and it has a comfortable bracelet. However, I do have some gripes, especially for the price point. First, the hand alignment is not perfect, which is frustrating when you're spending nearly $500. Second, the clasp is very long and bulky, and it is even longer if you want to use the toolless micro adjustments. Overall, I like it, but I think it should be a little more refined for the price.

Citizen Promaster Dive watch lacks quality I expected

Dear Citizen, This my FIRST Citizen watch. I was surprised to see how low the quality is: (a) the bezel arrow does not line up with the notches, and (b) the second hand does not line up with the second hashes. Please see the enclosed photos. I really wish Citizen would replace this watch with a higher quality item. Sincerely, Darin Okuyama
