Great watch, looks sharp, and it’s much lighter than I expected.
The purchasing process was easy on the ditizen web site. The sizing by citizen saved me time & probably frustration since I do that so rarely. It's only been a couple weeks. I would buy it again. It looks much better in person. The weight of the titanium watch & bracelet is amazing compared to my stainless steel watches. Overall, so far so gtood.
I purchased the black version because I didn’t need the blue face, and after 1 year of ownership I wish the black was offered in a bracelet. This watch has pretty much become my daily, and I wish I could find the bracelet separate. I’ve tried a couple of retailers and they can’t seem to order the correct one.
Really love this watch, keeps great time and has a beautiful face especially at this price. The titanium feels and looks nice, the beveled sapphire glass is a nice touch and I absolutely LOVE the hands. Also has really nice lume, overall the watch punches way above it's price. The one and only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is the band just isn't very good. Single solid links that aren't very comfortable and the clasp wetsuit adjustment broke on the first day I had it and will not "lock" in either direction. I ordered a new much better titanium clasp for $55 (with micro adjustments and no stupid wetsuit adjustment) but it's pretty dumb I had to fix a $1000 watch on the first day. If the watch came with a normal style clasp with a few micro adjustments it's easily a 5/5 star watch for me.
The watch itself is great. However, after a few months of ownership, the titanium clasp sheared off along one of the hinges (see photo). Luckily I was just having dinner at home and not in the water, or I would have probably lost it. I contacted Citizen customer support, who told me it won't be cover under warranty and that I could buy another bracelet for ~200 + taxes and shipping. I find this unacceptable, especially for such a good watch with lots of heritage. My watch was purchased directly on their website, too.
I like how the watch looks and feels, but the "Super Titanium" this watch is claimed to be is a big disappointment. The noticeable marks in the picture are JUST from me sitting at a computer at work with my wrist resting on the table as I type. I was expecting a lot more durability for the price point. Not sure If I would purchase another Citizen.
Very happy with the watch. Titanium feels incredibly light. The look and design is very close to the original old model. Functional watch with clean classy look. The movement is very precise. The rotating bezel does lack grip and the ratchet is not 100% crisp. However, does the job no problem. The grip situation is due to the old design (otherwise they would have to change the original pattern/shape on the bezel) and the titanium ratchet is usually different from stainless steel... Very decent offer, especially if on discount.
Well made and incredibly light watch. It is my favorite in my collection. Highly recommended.
I have had my new pro master about three weeks now. I rarely take it off. I really enjoy its good looks and the light weight of the titanium case and bracelet. If Citizen made the same titanium watch in a GMT model, I would buy it also. The only disappointment I might have is the dial does not say stay visible all night in the dark. I am familiar with the reason Japanese watches do not have tritium, but if I had one wish for this watch, it would be the addition of tritium hands and markers. Otherwise it's perfect.
