I bought this watch 3 weeks ago and my review is par to sub par. I like the looks, I like the style and it seems rugged. Now here are things I don’t like. It is supposed to jave a 48 hour reserve but unless I wear it 24/7 it is dead after 6 to 8 hours. Also the sales representative was proud of the luminous hands but I cannot see it at all in the dark. Those 2 reasons are why I bought the watch. BTW this is my 3rd Citizen watch but not my favorite.
Looks good and stylish. Very light. Cons: Little chunky . Winding Rotor so noisy and i can hear it spinning on my wrist. Power reserve only 16 hours after wearing 24 hours.
Pros: amazing workmanship and attention to detail. Feels great when on my wrist (7.5”). Decent Lume and easy to read face. Made in Japan. Cons: only a minor “con”, but still have to mention it…the bezel has little to no contrast and the numbers on the bezel are hard to make out depending on the angle. Going forward, Citizen should design some contrast for the divers bezel to make it easier to see when using it to time a dive (or anything you need to time). Would rate it 4.85 stars If I could.
I've been collecting for 21 yrs now and let me tell you that this diver by Citizen ticks all the boxes! The strap is very comfortable and I have a 9" wrist, the 9051 is fantastic to say the least, and the spherical crystal is gorgeous from every angle, the watches details like the bezel texture along with those screws and the blue dial and the DLC titanium with Duratect all come together amazingly. To me it wears like a 44mm, it is extremely beautiful. Love the pop of lime green, 200 meters is all you'll ever need, bezel has great grip and action. Love the lime buckle party trick, nice touch Citizen! Highly recommend!
Citizen Response
My younger brother, Gregory turned me on to Citizen. I have been so well beyond satisfied with the purchase of this Citizen Promaster Diver. It is now my favorite watch to wear. I find myself checking the time and looking at the watch just to admire how it looks on my wrist multiple times of day. As a luxury watch enthusiast, I admit that I wear this watch more than any other watch I have ever owned and that includes some rather well known Swiss timepieces. I love it so much that I might actually have to take up deep sea diving ;-)
I have had this watch for about one month, and I absolutely love it. The build quality is outstanding. The movement is the most accurate automatic that I own. The titanium case makes it suitable for all day wear.
My dad bought me this timepiece for Christmas in 2021. Been wearing every day since. Due to my job this watch has been through the ringer getting hit on all kinds of stuff. Still looks like new. Love it.
My fifth Citizen dive watch. So chonky yet so light! How does Citizen do it-? Titanium my friend, Titanium. Not just Ti, but Super Ti! Seriously, this is the most wearable big dive watch--so comfortable despite its size. And so legible at a glance. And don't get me started on the bezel; so smooth and exact--lines up perfectly with all indexes. Only complaint--the rotor is kinda loud.
Just got this watch from my local jeweler. Super light watch, comfortable band. It is definitely distinctive looking. First automatic watch, so it will be interesting to see how accurate it keeps time.
