Amazing, well-built piece of art. a homerun typical for Citizen
While forever in search of my ideal mtn bike companion, I bought this rugged disc on a whim. First off it wears incredibly smaller than its size. It feels like a magic trick. This thick fun puck with the red fade honestly releases endorphins. The bezel turns with the confidence of the slam of an old Mercedes door, and the clean dial is easy to read at a quick glance. Playful at its best!
An extremely well made, rugged, chunky piece! the band is snug and comfy. Slightly on the heavier side, but manageable. The red/maroon dial is captivating! this is a future classic! thank you, Citizen!
In 21 yrs of collecting I've never wrote a review quite like this before so here goes, are you ready? BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT!!!! -Fin :)
That this is a world class dive watch is a given... the fun and special kick for this watch is the dial! A deep cherry red, gradient to black depending on the angle and light, and a rich inner dial, killer lume, and, yes, a dive watch that isn't pretending to be a dive watch, it's all pro. Add on top of that a 365 battery! That's just crazy talk, and yet it is true. I wanted something a bit different, and I've started calling it my "Bing Cherry Promaster" and it seems to work for me. I think it will work for you, too.
This is a great watch. Built like a tank. Great legibility. Lume lasts all night. The bezel action is very smooth with 120 clicks. Eco drive so don’t have to worry about battery changes. The band is very comfortable as well. I wanted to buy the black one, but because I live in the United States, it is not available yet, but I am satisfied with this red dialed beast.
This is the best dive watch I've seen in ages. Citizen, can you please make the same watch but with a silver tone bezel (no colour), black face dial and yellow third hand with yellow 300M lettering. I would buy it immediately. Just saying :)
This watch is great. I’ve wanted a Promaster for a while, but not having sapphire crystal has been stopping me. I’m terrified of scratching my lens. It is on the thicker and heavier side, but it wears very nicely. It’s built like a tank and I expect it will take a beating. It will also spend quite a bit of time underwater. THE BAD! I give the watch a 5 star review because my list of bad is all personal preference. I can’t stand rubber straps, and I actually called citizen to ask about the strap design. The lady on the phone was very nice, but misinformed. After I gave her the model number she told me it was a 22mm spring bar, that is why I ordered the watch. Anyway when I received it I was very disappointed that it was a proprietary strap attachment. There was hope! I found an adapter that converts it to 22mm lugs. Between this and an amazing NATO style strap from Chesapeake Bay Leathercraft this is now one of my favorite watches. I highly recommend this watch to anyone who’s looking for a quality rugged dive/tool watch. The adapter is from suppaparts.
My first dive watch not that I dive but I love the look of this watch. I won't have to worry about taking it off for a shower or when I going swimming or my new favorite thing sitting in the river at camp. This is my 2nd Citizen eco powered watch. You can tell the way the watch feels and looks that it's a quality time piece.
I love it! Love the maroon colored face, and the new miners line up perfectly and I set five minutes and it has change in over a week by more than 5 seconds. So worth purchasing. I want band replacement options though.
