Just got my new watch. I have owned G.Shock, Apple and a few Citizen’s. I like this one better than my original Skyhawk which stopped working after 10 years. The new one is sleek and is comparable to my G is size. I’m looking forward to getting a few compliments on this one. It’s an investment, Citizen is known as a luxury brand.
Purchased 2 months ago, and has replaced my citizen AT2447-01E as my daily wear. Great looking watch, bold markings, bright glo points (and blue, not green! Nice touch!). I say 'good' features, because the altimiter is pretty decent, atmospheric conditions obviously having an effect on readings, the compass is not great.. pretty bad actually. The refresh rate on it is terrible, so dang slow, and the bezel (with the compass points on it) is loose, to the point where it almost rattles, you can actually wiggle it up and down, makes it feel cheap. The watch band is where it really falls on its face. It looks fine, and is comfortable enough, but it's very sticky to itself. One night I gave up on trying to take it off, could not get the band out of the loops, and had to wear it to bed! Will be switching to a leather deployment clasp at first opportunity. Watch case is an ABSOLUTE UNIT though. Great size, great look.

I bough it a week ago . Ilove it ! I thinks it is impressive !
Just got it yesterday. Awesome watch, easy to use functions. Great looking! No doubt in my mind that it will be typical excellent Citizen quality. Only reason for the 4 stars versus 5, crown is not a screw down. Seems really strange for this watch. Additionally, the crown is absent any shoulders for protection. Also strange.

Like many I have owned other Citizen watches and have never been disappointed. The Promaster Altichron is no exception at all. This is a very sharp watch. Not difficult to use. Some reviews have mentioned that the hands do not remain illuminated through the night. Well mine apparently is the exception, because it loses nothing as far as illumination all night long. Extremely pleased with everything about this watch. I did change the band, simply because I have a preference in watchbands that are larger. Just a personal thing. It is a decent sized timepiece for sure. Without any hesitation I highly recommend. As I said before. Citizen in my opinion makes excellent watches. Period. I am not easy on them at all, but they have never let me down. When I put a watch on, well it is on. I wear it literally 24/7. Comes off to shower and that is it. Thank you Citizen for once again making a classic, functional and great looking watch.

Great looking watch. Very happy with what I received from your company.
I've been wearing this watch for over 2 months now and get more compliments on this watch then any other watch I wear. I'll admit, I don't use many of the altimeter functions as of yet... but I love the way the watch looks and feels. I have a small wrist and the watch is NOT too big for me.
I absolutely love my Citizen Promaster Altichron watch. It feels amazingly comfortable and even comforting when you have it strapped on. It’s easy to read in low light, does not fatigue your wrist, is always fully charged, and never really needs and special charging or maintenance. Keeps time like a chronometer and is as sturdy as a tank. I never leave home without my spectacular Promaster.

Well first off the first time I saw a Citizen watch was in 1991 when I had finished Marine Corps Boot Camp and I saw a Cool Aqua land Series watch JP2004-07E it was Silver & Gold and had the depth gauge on the side of it . I though I was the bomb and had to have one so every since then it has been all those styles of watches by Citizen. One drawback then was every time my battery went dead you had to send your Pride and Joy away and you always had that good old "white mark around your wrist" until it got back but with this New style that is Old School stuff and long gone. This is my First Altichron watch and I was a little worried about buying one but I really love this thing and it looks Great and it is easy to use and everybody comments about it every time I go out to in it. I am a tech guy and I am spoiled by my smart watches etc, and my wife was surprised that I bought this for Christmas but after I put this on in the store I was hooked from that point :) I really think the Style of the rubber band and the entire Watch face etc looks really Good to me. I say go try one on and if you have ever owned a Citizen in the past you know what your getting into. I hope this review helps you guys out. Semper Fi.

Rubber Strap broke not even a year after I purchased it. Cannot even find a replacement. Please advise where I can purchase replacement....
The watch i bought from macys online it came in the oxygen tank case(wrong case) I returned and was sent a 2nd watch in a cardboard case, i asking for the black plastic case and instructions,were not included. If you look you’ll see the case
Don't buy it before you try putting one on. The band is only one size and it did not fit me.

I bought this about 3 years ago. I use it 2-3 times per month and keep it in a watch case. The band broke for no apparent reason. Replacing it will cost about $90 or above. Not happy about that!
I've bought Two of them over recent years, in black. That's how much I've liked it. Very functional and aesthetic design. Very easy to see what the actial time is! even at at a slight glance. It gets compliments and makes a impression, though I didn't buy it for that. I'd strongly suggest Citizen keeping this core design aesthetic and evolving pushing it forward, instead of discontinuing the line eventually. And get more technically and aestheticlly creative with the band/strap options. Takes daily wear very well, and can definitely handle wear during recreational/sports activity. But the band can indeed wear out along the buckle-holes area, and if you drop the watch and it lands square on the face of the crystal? It can fracture. Happened in my kitchen... not Kilimanjaro ;-) The outer bezel is free-rotating, which is bad. IT SHOULD HAVE CLICKS! It moves too easily if anything brushes against the watch, so when orienteering it WILL move after setting your bearing. The eco-drive system is truly excellent.
I don’t like the band. It’s too hard to get the loose end of the strap secured when it’s on your wrist.
really love the watch, just wish it had a Longer band. I have it on the next to last notch and it sometimes pops out of the 2 loops to hold the extra. is there an option to get a longer band. would be happy to pay for the option.
Purchased 2 months ago, and has replaced my citizen AT2447-01E as my daily wear. Great looking watch, bold markings, bright glo points (and blue, not green! Nice touch!). I say 'good' features, because the altimiter is pretty decent, atmospheric conditions obviously having an effect on readings, the compass is not great.. pretty bad actually. The refresh rate on it is terrible, so dang slow, and the bezel (with the compass points on it) is loose, to the point where it almost rattles, you can actually wiggle it up and down, makes it feel cheap. The watch band is where it really falls on its face. It looks fine, and is comfortable enough, but it's very sticky to itself. One night I gave up on trying to take it off, could not get the band out of the loops, and had to wear it to bed! Will be switching to a leather deployment clasp at first opportunity. Watch case is an ABSOLUTE UNIT though. Great size, great look.
