My Birthday/ Christmas present to myself ..looking forward submerge it
I bought this a few days ago and love the watch itself but the band is way too stiff and makes it nearly impossible to take the watch on and off. Looks great though and weighs much less than anticipated.
I own an “ecozilla” I use regularly for diving and wanted to upgrade. This did not disappoint. It is the ultimate dive watch that is actually practical. I own other high end dive watches / brands. They are great for show at at fancy dinners, but this is my new go to for a real diving tool!
i'm a diver watch nut and ever since seeing this a year ago it's been my grail. never mind it is so huge that out of the water it's not very convenient. we all get things we love so much we make allowances just to have them. this is such an item. this is the 4th Citizen diver i own, so i do love their design/build/QC (unlike another brand we won't mention). What this shares with my $1100 Citizen satellite diver is some mechanism Citizen puts in their higher price solar/quartz pieces that the seconds hand hits markers right on the dot without ANY drift. i've 2 $400 priced Citizen solar/quartz divers and they do drift a bit at times for a few markers at most, but not this one. it's amazing to see. it's a marvel of technical beauty for those who love big analog divers, nothing like it anywhere. QC is remarkable. even have grown to love the bezel lock, which i don't need or use but is fun to click nevertheless. if you dare to strap a huge beautiful diver to your wrist, this is the one, with the benefit that it's hardened titanium case is so light it's competitive to normal size divers.
