I collected a couple of Citizen eco drive watches over the years. This one is an impulse buy. Thought I go back old school automatic for a change. If for anything, an homage to the bygone tech of old. At least I look at it that way. Accuracy is as good as can be expected from a mechanical watch. Runs -/+ 6 seconds in 24 hrs. Lags about a min after a week compared to one of my accurate citizen satellite watches. Style is great. Luminosity is bright but dial doesnt stay as bright (as featured in ads) for long. Haven't tested its namesake 'Diver's Watch'. Closest i got this to water is in the shower. I'll be updating this review after i take it out snorkeling. Very happy with purchase. A worthy addition to my automatic watch collection.
This watch looks really cool with the black case and green dial. I love the full lume dial, it makes me feel like the watch is alive. It is a great watch but not perfect. I so want to give this watch 5 stars but can't and it's really just for one issue. The hour and minute hands have no contrast against the dial. Now you can see the hands during the day just fine, in a dark (with light) room just fine, when the dial has a lot of lume just fine but when the lume is low and the room is really dark or out side at night it is impossible to tell the time. This because the hands and dial are the same color. I had read other reviews that stated this but said, nah i will be able to see the outline of the hands. Nope. If they used a different lume color on the hands or made them more solid it would be 5 star. If you don't care about that then this watch looks awesome, it is heavy at 166g, but I love the crown on the left side. I wish more companies would do this, it totally eliminates the crown digging in to my hand.
Amazing watch, it’s exactly what I was looking for.
