Been shopping for a watch since July!! This was my first choice, my wife ordered it for me for Christmas and just received it!! It is beautiful and I love the case!! Now I have to wait till Christmas to see it again!! Lol
Just received my watch today. Did not purchase from Citizen Watch (sorry) but absolutely fell in love the moment I put it on. Feels great on the wrist. The dial, which supposedly mimics the image a puffer fish makes on the sand bottom, is beautiful. Lume is lights out fantastic. Pun intended. I just can't stop looking at it, and quite frankly I think I'm annoying my wife. Hey, I've been staring at her for 47 years...I think she can share me. You hit a homerun with this one, Citizen.
Beautiful watch, runs outstanding, Fast delivery, had it sized at manufacturer. Great add to my small collection
Love the watch. Elegant but not gaudy. Feels great on my wrist and it keeps superb time.
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.

This is a classic looking, solidly built diving watch. I wanted something i could wear casually, but also for times when i have to dress up for important functions. This fits the bill. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars are two minor issues: 1)the lume is not as bright as my Citizen Promaster Orca 2) the bezel is 120 clicks all the way around, not 60, and often gets knocked out of place. Other than that, it's a great watch... Just wish it came in Citizen's solar version.
I bought this watch two weeks ago! It’s the most beautiful watch I’ve ever owned. I even wear it when I play piano! I can’t recommend it enough!
