I've had this watch for about 6 months, and while the watch is good, the band is terrible. It's uncomfortable, for one thing. It also catches dirt in the corrugations, and the band itself is badly stained. I've tried cleaning it with a toothbrush, but the problem isn't surface dirt; the band itself has really obvious stains on both edges. In addition, the keepers are a different material and the color is fading more in the band than in the keepers. I tried to replace the band, but have not been able to find a metal band that will work with this watch. Really disappointed in this purchase.
I enjoyed the men’s pro master so much I had to get the wife one to. The workmanship and quality stand out. Beautiful watch really enjoy wearing it. Thank you.

I don't collect watches, but rather find one that I like and wear it a long time. As a man with a small wrist I was hoping for a diver that was not too big and was from a quality maker at a reasonable price - this one checks all the boxes! One real surprise was the lume stays visible all night long! it's really well made, has the no maintenance eco-drive and has a wonderful blue color palate. I'd love to see an orange face model for this watch, but the way it is, is just perfect!
Love my new watch! Love the bright color! This is my 2nd Citizen watch. The other one is more dressy. I only wish that I had bought the smaller band.
love watch but need longer band and cannot figure out what size to get? Please help. Thanks
I just got my third order of wrist watch from Citizen, and I am already satisfied this time with its look and fit on me:) Not only that it perfectly fits my thin wrist, the face of the watch is also bright enough and well illuminated to be read and seen even when you’re on a darker area. You can tell it’s durable too because of its weight and make. Highly recommend for someone who is looking for a superb sports watch that can endure beating and wetness without worrying that it may break. Perfectly match too with my scrubs at work since I’m in the medical field, and can even be worn for casual attire. I just loved it.😁
Got my watch 3 weeks ago. Beautiful, comfortable, great size for a smaller wrist, doesn’t get in a way, easy to read, accurate. I wear it in a pool 5 days a week. Can’t read the date without my reading glasses unfortunately, but it’s ok. I like that it doesn’t have a magnifying bubble over the date as I always destroy those somehow. The wrist band is another story. I liked the color of it - bright and pretty, popping, excellent summer watch. It’s rubber, great to swim in. The band color was a big part of my purchase decision. Unfortunately, in 3 weeks of me wearing the watch, the strap yellowed significantly. From bright blue it turned dirty dull green, not consistent color throughout - it looks old and dirty. The end keepers are made from a different material, they stayed blue, showing a big contrast. The band or the keepers became kind of sticky, it is a pain to put end of the strap through the keepers now. I took the band off and replaced it with a nylon nato strap. Looks good and feels great. I don’t think I will ever put the original rubber band back on. Into the trash it goes. So, the watch is awesome, I am sure I will enjoy it for decades, as my other Citizen watches. The strap is cheap and inferior, don’t expect it to stay its original color or texture.
Love the colors and blended colors of the watch. Stands out among others. Wish the band could have been longer to keep the keepers in place.
It’s a very nice and lite watch, alas I have a bony wrist and the strap was irritating it, sadly I had to return it.
Very nice looking watch. My second Citizen watch. Good quality. Well worth the cost. 😊
