A very legible watch. And, like all Citizens with Eco-Drive, never needs a battery. I got it mainly for having the large, easy-to-read, digital display for displaying UTC that I use quite a bit. It’s a very large watch, however, and a bit heavy. The only negative, like some of my Citizen watches, the second hand does not quite line up on the hash marks.
This watch completed my Citizen Watch collection. I looked at the different watches and picked out my favorites and purchased all of them. I like watches that let you know the date and the day, moon phases, and are fit for every style. I like the Promaster Line up it is very unique and a great watch to wear.
The Citizen Promaster Land U822 is an outstanding watch that perfectly balances rugged outdoor capability with a modern, stylish design. The analog-digital dial looks sharp and technical, with excellent legibility thanks to bold markers and luminous hands that stand out clearly in any lighting. It has a strong wrist presence without feeling overly bulky, and the materials feel durable and premium.
Very handsome and rugged built watch, really like the fact that it will not require replacing batteries with the solar charging capability
I consider the solar powered U822 Promaster to be an excellent purchase. The watch is obviously built for outdoor use - heavy, a wide rubber strap, very luminescent, and a chronograph among other features. However, be aware of several things. Setting the the digital time/date requires the use of the downloadable manual. Also, there is no atomic time or GPS-driven feature. Citizen, thank you for recogniziing the service of veterans with your military discount.
Well built and very rugged design.
Nice looking, easy to use, good size,
The watch is near impossible to read in a being or low light. It is clunky and the plastic band sweaty. I am desperately trying to return and that is awful. Three days so far of we will contact you and nothing. Fill out form again rinse and repeat. Seems a delay tactic to slip out of the return window. All I want is an RMA and my money back.
Not sure why this watch gets negative reviews (especially on YouTube). No, it’s not perfect, but what watch is. Sapphire crystal, solar powered, super light weight, multifunction, & sleek. A very simple watch with loads of features. Swapped the stock band for a nato strap. Super happy with it.
This watch is great. Perfect for my travels. I travels overseas to Hong Kong, Tokyo and Germany as well. It’s got a nice weight to it for durability, let you know it’s there. I’m spend a lot of time outdoors and need a rugged watch for my travels.
