I was impressed the moment I first saw it on display. The pictures here on Citizen's website do not give the dial justice. It looks so much better in person and the texture looks different under various lighting conditions. This model features a textured blue dial and houses the reliable and proven Miyota/Citizen 8204 automatic movement which has hacking and winding. Bezel is unidirectional with 120/clicks. Divers 200m ISO 6425, which means it has passed tests and rated for international Divers watch standards. Screw down crown and anti-reflective sapphire crystal. Unbelievable how much Citizen is offering at this price point. I've owned other Promaster watches and this has quickly become one of my favorites. The "Fugu", as this watch has been appropriately named, means pufferfish in Japanese. You'll find the fish is engraved on the case back of the watch. The ridges on the bezel mimic its spines. Something quite fascinating is that Pufferfish have been known to create artistic sand patterns. You can look this up and watch videos. What Citizen did was recreate those sand pattern textures on the dial of this watch. Anyone who is looking for a dependable diver and loves blue should be adding this one to their collection.
Love the watch. Elegant but not gaudy. Feels great on my wrist and it keeps superb time.
Nice watch. Solid and substantial feel. Luminescence could be better, doesn’t last long after the lights are out. Mine runs a little fast. I’d buy it again.
My first Citizen automatic was a gift from my grandmother about 43 years ago. It still runs but I decided it was time for new one.
