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.
If it is not worn for a day or two the “automatic “ feature stops and you have to reset time/day/time. I would not buy another watch without a battery or eco-drive.

Beautiful automatic watch. Only been two weeks but has worked flawlessly. Mine only gains about 7-8 seconds a day on average. Only complaint is the band. I got a quick release silicon/rubber band on it now. Great purchase. I’m very happy with it. Definitely highly recommend this watch to anyone.
What a beautiful watch, it’s extremely well built, you can feel the quality as soon as it’s on your wrist. Citizen needs to do more Auto’s!!!
