Couldn’t be more happy with the performance of this watch.
Build quality is fantastic! The design is superb! This watch was a gift to myself for completing my CCNP certification and I have to say I am very impressed. this is my 2nd citizen and really cant be happier with my purchase!
I bought this before doing 2 dives on vacation in the Caribbean, I had an older Aqualand dive watch stuck in my drawer at home. The details are phenomenal, matching sawtooth finish on the stems and the bezel, rich colors, solid case. Depth gauges worked fine, along with memory recall of last depth. Thick face makes it a little tough to tuck under a shirt sleeve for professional dress, but a very attractive piece.
This watch is very attractive, has very nice details, and a great color scheme. I have three diferent versions side by side (the red/stainless steel, the limited edition black/gold and this “Pepsi”) and by far this one was the most sexy for me. Keep in mind that the colors are not “saturated” as it seems in the pictures, the blue for instance is a little bit faded, buy by no means it makes the watch less beautiful! It is not a small watch, but its extremely wearable even for a small guy like me. It has a good weight also. The only caveats imho is the watch band: is too stiff and I have the feeling that can become dry and crackable soon, but only time will tell, i might be wrong. Still, I definitely recommend to any real or desk diver out there.

Great Looking Pepsi bezel watch. I gave it 4 stars because the band is short. The band is stiff and uncomfortable. The blue band shows dirt immediately from sweat. It takes time to remember to disregard the red dive meter arm that’s fixed at 3 o’clock When telling time. The coin edge bezel is sold & the luminescence is bright & easily activated by a flash light. If you have a large wrist the strap sucks. My Casio Pepsi bezel solar dive watch has a longer & more comfortable Silicone straps. My Solar power needle never reads full anymore, even though I have left it charging as instructed & I am out on the water all day every day. It is a heavy watch with a thick case it takes about 2 weeks to get used to it. I plan on replacing the strap with a better one.

Citizen does it again! One of the best looking dive watches of all time! Even though the watch case is stainless steel - this watch is very comfortable to wear (also has great illumination on the hands, and hour markers). I bought this watch and the 30th anniversary addition. I am not a fan of rubber watch straps (only when they are paired with a rubber sports or military style (rugged type) watch case. I changed the rubber watch band to a dark blue nylon Nato watch strap - see photos below.
Wonderful watch, just way to short of a band. Have never had this problem with a citizen before. Very odd.

Love the watch but need a different bracelet as I change watches everyday and this one however nice is a pain to take off
Amazing, rugged and very accurate. This divers tool not only keeps excellent time, monitors water dive depth, its very cool looking. Great for land or sea…I’m so happy I purchased this watch.
Watch has met all my expectations. Functionality is elegant in design and execution. Extremely accurate and a beauty to behold.
Absolutely phenomenal watch as always with Citizen!

I use'te every day ets a machine heavy duty I love'et
This replaced my 1988 Aqualand I bought while I was in the Marines. LOVED THAT WATCH - and was crushed when was lost/stolen when I shipped it to Citizen for a battery replacement and resealing. The only downside of that watch was the constant replacement of 3 batteries. Now this one is solar - well done Citizen, well done!
It’s a fantastic watch. On mine at least, the bezel and minute hands line up perfectly with 12 o’clock and the second hand is exactly on each marker on the dial. So many watches come today with the hands and markers misaligned. This watch is extremely accurate. It gain about 1-2 seconds per month. I’m extremely happy with the accuracy it’s one of my most accurate watches. You get a ton of value in this model. Negatives. The rubber band is too short. I think Citizen should offer a metal bracelet as an option at the very least. Next is having to change the date manually ever once in a while. It’s not a huge problem as I’m used to it on mechanical watches. It’s just slightly annoying on a digital. Small suggestion to Citizen. Make the red “current depth” hand function as a GMT hand when the watch is not in the water so you could have two time zones. Then when the sensor gets wet it functions as a dive watch. I think it could be setup to switch automatically between land and sea modes. Maybe on the next version.
Beautiful watch. Unfortunately the band does not fit an average man wrist
Love the look feel and ease of use ! Everyone should own one if they’re a watch collector, absolutely gorgeous!
Everything you need in a dive watch. Quality, convenience, features. Never quits.
