I have always respected Dive watches and all I can say that this watch has become one of my favorites. What I like about this watch is that it is very solid built. This watch is big but don’t be fooled by its size- it’s not heavy. Its sits comfortably on the wrist. Citizen states that the watch is made from "Super Titanium". It’s definitely light weight!! Talk about durability- I have worn this watch in rain, under water, accidentally knocked on desks, doors, walls, etc..... but I haven’t seen any scratches yet. I like the following features that Citizen has added under the hood of this “Potent” diver watch: ECO-Drive (instead of previous automatic Citizen Diver Promaster ‘AutoZilla’ 1000m version); Screw down crown on the right side 5'o clock; Power reserve indicator which looks fancy :) The circular saw shaped Bezel can be engaged to lock to prevent rotation and inclusion of these six over-sized bezel extensions (like a circular saw) give a better grip. The numbers on the bezel are cool looking due to different size fonts. Underwater Lume is luminous & bright. This watch is very durable and certainly impresses that it can suffer 1000 m of water pressure seriuosly (1000m saturation diving watch). This watch comes in a hard case with strap extension for wet suits. One more thought: The template of this 1000M DIVER (Model: BN7020) reminds me of the Citizen's 300m diver watch (PROMASTER DIVER MODEL: BN0175)- very similar looking (but the size, water resistance and the built is very much different). Please Note: I have not received any type of compensation/incentive to review/write about this watch. I reviewed it (here, on youtube and watchuseek) because I love this watch!
I got the watch about two weeks ago and I can't stop wearing it. It is huge but my wrist is large and it feels good. The bezel lock works so smoothly it is amazing and the Power Reserve is very nice to have. Time keeping is perfect and the lume is very good. All in all a very impressive timepiece. Citizen is the best at Eco Drive / solar powered watches hands down.
the most durable scuba watch who i seen and i have. i m very proud of it.
I love this watch, I bought it years ago and sold it and regretted it and ended up buying it again a few weeks ago. I own a lot of watches, but I love big dive watches. I have a Rolex Deep Sea as well which I dont wear that much anymore, its more an investment piece. I wear this almost daily and I love the fact you never have to worry about winding it like an automatic and that it can get power for a year from a day of sunlight. It has quartz accuracy as well. I love the chunky size and it wears well on a big man, its a talking piece for sure. Downside and things to improve are to make the strap a little softer (I washed mine carefully in warm water to soften it a little). and perhaps work on the lume a little. If Citizen could get stronger, longer lasting lume it would be almost perfect for me as a daily wear watch. Build quality is exceptional and I think its one of the best, most durable watches ive seen on the market in years.
