Got this for two main reasons: solar power and smaller size. And it certainly meets those criteria. It was on sale as well, so the price was certainly competitive. OTOH, the luminosity on the dial is pretty underwhelming. Not particularly bright initially and dims pretty quickly. Hate the band - that weird little hook on the prong of the buckle makes it hard to get off, and you can't do fine adjustment. Holes are just a bit off. So in retrospect it does work but I wish I had just paid more and got something a bit better.
Pleased with this purchase. Love the size and aesthetic. My tool watch for now… it’s nice to put it on and not think about it. Reliably Citizen.
As long as Citizen continues to create high functionality watches, I will continue to buy them and wear them
I have been thinking of buying this watch since last year. I am so glad I bought it. Received many compliments, light weight and stylish.
What I like about this watch is the small size in this age of huge watches. Solar + dive + lightweight + small + reasonable cost. What's not to like? One watch that can be worn for any occasion and avoids me having to look at my &!* smartphone
I’ve worn this watch the last couple of years and swim a couple miles a week. It’s great for the water but the band has worn out and it’s difficult to get serviced. I want to swap the rubber band that broke with a stylish bracelet but no jeweler can service the watch.
I’ve been wearing my new Promaster Dive watch the past month and it has exceeded my expectations. I live in a Utah mountain valley where we get lots of snow and very cold temperatures so needed a watch that could withstand the rigors of a tough environment and still perform. The Promaster has done that and keeps perfect time while being comfortable to wear and looking great. Also, Citizen customer service is excellent.

Excellent. Exactly what I expected.
I got this for my wife and she loves it! Eco drive is accurate and the the smaller diameter fits her wrist perfectly.
