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.
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 ;-)
