An "Aquaconic" from the early eighties revived. Great size, full glow dial and all bells and whistles regarding functionality and coolness factor in a simple, utilitarian tool watch design. PU strap could be softer - may be Silicone in the next generation.
First the good things: while this NOT a dive computer, it does save enough information that you can figure out your surface interval, and save all of the vital numbers for your dive log. I do not have this, but did have its predecessor the Citizen promaster c500 Natulite with the glowing dial AND hands, it turned into a big glowing blob when diving in less than stellar conditions. I would advise getting a black face.
The analog hands of my beloved Promaster Aqualand from the late 1990’s stopped working and could not be repaired so this is a replacement purchase. Love the new look and functionality of this watch which I use for everyday use, surfing and especially scuba diving. Only made one mistake with my order and got the metric version (the only version that was available on the Citizen website) instead of the imperial version so while in dive mode I will need to get used to seeing my dive depth details in meters instead of feet.
This is my 4th Citizen watch. All of my Citizen watches are still working and have never needed service. The "eco-drive" watches are especially great, as they never need a battery. I will definitely be buying from Citizen again. I am very satisfied!
Citizen Response
Great
very impressed
Amazing watch. Order arrived quickly. Just which citizen would make a solar version!
After years I could have the pleasure of wearing this classic watch again, same comfortable sensation that I had when I was maybe 15 years old. Thank you Citizen for bringing this watch back to life and bringing me very special memories from my golden years!.
Great dive watches. Loyal user since 1990's. Classy and tough. I personally don't use the rubber watch bands so I replace with a 20mm NATO nylon band. @jason33919
35 plus years later after being introduced still the best.
