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.
I just purchased this and wow! Outstanding. I love everything about it. I have owned many high end dive watches, but this guy here, I really fell in love with it. A good bang for the buck. I can’t wait to take it to the water!
This titanium diver could be my 1 do it all watch. I absolutely love this thing. It’s so light I forget I’m wearing it. There’s not one thing I don’t like about it. It looks stunning without being too flashy. Favorite watch of my collection.
Absolutely love this watch. Fits perfectly on my wrist, and it’s lite . The dial is a nice dark blue and it’s not a sunburst dial which I’m fine with. I’m not a big fan of sunburst dials. Tells very good time and just love that this is an anti magnetic titanium watch that’s a daily driver for me. I wear it everywhere and it goes with everything. The lume is respectable but it could’ve been a bit more brighter and longer lasting. Other than that small knock, it’s honestly one of my favorite watches I’ve owned so far and I’ve had many and more expensive watches.
I love this watch. I agree with other reviews out there that the dial ratchet could be better. But it doesn't detract from the overall feel. I love that it's so light, as well.
This Promaster came with a noticeable abrasion mark near the lower right hand side lug. Citizen was helpful in arranging for a quick RMA, but this speaks two things about the brand today. First, quality control is not where it should be and nor is the quality of the black ion-plating finish, because this watch was otherwise perfectly new. Have to say that this happened after another issue with a new Fujitsubo diver, which came with a small blemish inside the dial.
Watch is great and functons as expected; Lumination is not great.

Like the style of the watch. Easy to read calendar. Titanium makes it light weight and durable. Solid clasp for nice fit. Great watch for everyday or special occasions.
A very simple looking watch ⌚, but that's what's expected from a mechanical watch. The titanium is highly underrated, much stronger than steel, but also much lighter. The only subjective issue is whether you like the titanium look vs the steel look. You have to determine what your preferences are (do you prefer lighter weight? do you prefer a certain aesthetic look?). I highly recommend trying this watch on your wrist before buying, it's that particular. What's also highly underrated is the backstory of the ancestor of this watch which has quite an impressive story and consequently legacy. I bought this watch because I wanted a daily mechanical workhorse, and the legacy/story is a nice conversation starter as well. The scuba 🤿 tank case is impressive in photos, but less so in person (this case could look nicer in person and this is something Citizen could improve). Overall, the quality of this watch is outstanding, as expected from Citizen.
Fantastic watch. Loses about 6-8 seconds a day which is close to COSC. Wears well. Micro adjustment really helps. Only negative is that the clasp scratches easy.
My Christmas gift to myself. I've owned countless Citizens. Never disappointed. Upon opening scuba tank first impressions amazingly lite diver. Beautiful blue dial. The hour hand sweeps smoothly. I forget I'm wearing this watch. Love the diver extension. I'm getting +5 seconds a day. I'm going to be wearing this watch a while. One more thing the super titanium and blue dial work well together.

just got it 2 days ago local retailer very sharp watch looks and feel great on wrist stunning blue dial bezel very smooth great watch for automatic watch
A lot of nice features for the price. Titanium is a lightweight metal and I think leads to certain case finishing decisions which you may or may not like. You may want to see it in person if you've never seen or felt a titanium watch. It may come across as less solid due to the weight and feel of titanium though it's the opposite. Should be more scratch resistant than steel. All the indices line up with the bezel. The background of the date window is metallic silver, not white which is a nice touch. Other online reviewers have noted the crown may be small for the watch - I would say that's nitpicking. Fits well on my smallish wrist. Blue color looks better in person. Not too busy, I like the rectangular markers which are less common than round. There are a number of reviews on the background story of this reissue - worth looking into. Would recommend.
