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.

I haven't had the watch very long & they are asking for a review already. It's a very nice looking watch & i really like the analog nature of the compass & altimeter. Its a bit large on my smaller wrist but it still fits & is functional. It seems very heavy duty & the 5 year warranty is nice reassurance. The rubber strap is also well suited for outdoor activities. So far so good & no complaints
I have been looking at this piece for a while now & now that I own it, it doesn’t disappoint. Another great Citizen addition to the collection! Highly recommend!!

I am very happy with the watch is perfect for me a beautifull watch for a simple men thanks
Every year I cruise I purchase a watch. This year was no exception. To my delight I found this Promaster Altichron. My my my! I believed that there was not another way for Citizen to out perform themselves and oh how I was wrong! This fits perfectly on your wrist and the rubber strap compliments it vey well without pulling on your skin with irritation. The face of the watch is bold with a clear sapphire, black background and red and white hands that glow a rich aqua blue after you have it in the sun a little while. I couldn't wait to get back on the plane home and see how well the watch worked. I was not disappointed at all. As the plane climbed higher and higher the watch performed perfectly telling me how high up we were. The wife kept asking me " how exactly do you know how high up we are again?" I simply pointed to my new art piece. Going cruising again in 8 more days. I wonder just how surprised I will be with another beautiful art piece from Citizen.
Needed calibration out of the box but once complete sensors measured accurately. Second hand is sharp and spot on the indexes. Altitude is accurate. Compass is sensitive to close proximity magnetic fields. No complaints on power reserve or usage. Heavy duty case. Premium quality feel. I'm happy with it.
Looks great and it’s very good. everyday use and everybody likes it
I love watches. Citizen, G-Shock and Seiko are my favs and this one is quickly becoming one of my go tos. Good size and good wrist feel. Was eyeing it for a while and finally pulled the trigger and so glad I did
This is a watch I’ve had my eyes on for years. Top of my “wish list”. It’s extremely durable and looks amazing. Joking aside, if the world were to go to south, post apocalyptic/dystopian times this would be a watch I’d have to have. The only thing missing is an alarm ;)
I bought this watch for a trip to the Colorado mountains so I could keep track of altitude and direction. The watch was spot on the entire trip. The look of the watch is elegant, wears well, easy to read and use the features. I would highly recommend this watch!
GREAT WATCH. EXTRAORDINARILY WELL ENGINEERED. JUST HOPE THAT IT LASTS REALLY LONG FOR THIS PRICE.
