Got this for Christmas to replace my Luminox. I have had three Luminox watches that I used in the water often. Luminox quality has definitely declined. I asked for this watch due to it being automatic and the illuminating characters. The illumination lasts an hour compared to the indefinite Luminox illumination. I can wear the Promaster all day. Set it down overnight and by 6 o'clock that following day it has stopped. I bought a automatic winder that rotates every 6 mins. alternating directions for two minutes. Still will not hold time if it is set down for 24 hrs.
Great value in a dive watch. After reading and watching reviews of a number of auto dive watches I chose the Citizen Promaster. For the price you can't beat the style and performance. My watch gains about 5 seconds per day, which is well within specs. It also has a power reserve as published. The lumes are solid, especially after being exposed to sunlight or bright light. I especially like the placement of the crown, as I wear this on my left hand. Recently, I left this on a winder for a week, and it kept consistent time - no issues. Highly recommend this watch.
The laser- cut back has shaved my arm hair off and is now carving into my arm. Very nice look and performance.
This is an absolutely beautiful and well built watch. The colors are superb and the watch itself is functional as both a dive watch and for everyday wear. The SCUBA tank packaging adds to the overall excellence of this well-built watch.
