I'm a little biased as this is my first decent watch and I'm a little smitten by it. Seems to be running a minute fast/slow over the course of a few days. Love the look of it. Love the bezel and full face of lume. Glows like crazy and takes about .5 seconds to charge it up.

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.
A present for my husband, and he loves it. Beautiful watch, looks even better in person.
Amazing watch, it’s exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent time piece. Comfortable and classic. A watch that never goes out of style and is always dependable.
I love the durability, however I kinda wish it would have come with a darker or red plate behind the hands and or hands that were illuminated all the time. Or hands that were a different color than the back plate. Since they are the same color it's kinda hard to see them in low light.
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 at its lower price os just what i was hoping for. Two issues, 1 the laser cut design is very sharp edged- not what i expect from Citizen. 2 the hands are hard to distinguish in middle of the night (maybe oldman eyes). Complements: Great looking on the wrist, the case shape and contours are artistic, the coating is silky-smooth with a proper gloss, the wrist bamd escapement is simple yet very secure. Over a great buy!
Received a third replacement watch from Citizen. They were nice enough to calibrate it before shipping and I’m happy to say it is well within spec. Currently averaging +10 seconds a day. Updating my review to 4 stars, still -1 for the poor QC of the first two watches received.
Lovely watch well made. I have not worn it yet. I collect watches it’s hard for me to judge it. Nothing else I can add for now

I love the luminous face along with the lustrous look and high quality stainless steel band. It's simply a impressive piece.
