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.
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.
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!
Couldn’t be more happy with the performance of this watch.
Love the watch but need a different bracelet as I change watches everyday and this one however nice is a pain to take off
Wonderful watch, just way to short of a band. Have never had this problem with a citizen before. Very odd.

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.

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.

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.
Beautiful watch, either for everyday way or going out
I bought 2 versions, the 30th Anniversary and the Pepsi. I already had love for Aqualand as my CO22 has been with me since 1989. These watches are all that and a bag of chips, looks, functuality, and of course eco-drive. Magnum PI should accept this model as an upgrade. Only complaint I have is the strap, its hard to buckle and unbuckle the 17 degree kick on the buckle seems designed to frustrate, the underside edge of the buckle is sharp and almost instantly cuts into the strap, the pin is wide and flat, like trying to put an oyster in a matchbox while lining up the holes. I removed the strap to replace it, with strap loose in hand I slapped my desk and used it to lift me out of my chair while it stuck to the wood desk top. Overall feel of the strap is sticky, sucks up dirt, dust etc. its as useless as turn signals on a BMW. I could go on as my hate for this strap is strong, but here is how I fixed the problem. I replaced it with a FKM tropic rubber 1960s style strap like you find on submariners or sea quartz 30s- Amazing made all the difference I highly recommend this mod so you can fully enjoy the watch.
Everything you need in a dive watch. Quality, convenience, features. Never quits.
Love the look feel and ease of use ! Everyone should own one if they’re a watch collector, absolutely gorgeous!
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.
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!
I use'te every day ets a machine heavy duty I love'et
