The watch is beautiful! Many compliments on the first wear. The 3-Star review is because the paperwork included with my indicated that when I registered my watch with Citizen Watch, I would receive an additional one year warranty benefit on top of the standard five year warranty benefit for a total six year warranty benefit. After registering my watch, I received a confirmation for a warranty benefit of five years. I contact customer service and they indicated that Citizen Watch discontinued the additional warranty benefit on October 1, 2025. My order was subsequent to that date. Written agreements are valid and I have a written agreement for an additional one year of warranty. I will contact executives at Citizen Watch for fulfillment of the additional one year warranty benefit.
I have been wanting to purchase one of the more professional Promaster Dive watches for sometime now. When this limited edition one came up, I loved the blue dial and the overall look. The watch feels great and I'm glad I purchased it.
The Citizen BN1025-08L is an inspiring dive watch. There is a satisfying heft to the watch without it feeling bulky. The bezel has fantastic grip and rotates in one direction with minimal back-play. The face of the watch catches the light to capture a subtle shift of colors from aqua to blackish-blue. It might have been nice if the blue metal ring had the same treatment as the dial of the watch, but the variation of green lume for the hour pips and bluish lume for the numbers and hash marks on the metal ring is stunning. The stainless steel is more prone to scratches than the titanium of my Citizen BN0220-16E, but it's a sturdy, handsome watch and the sapphire crystal will likely keep the dial and hands clearly visible and usable for years to come. The watch looks great in or out of water.
I am very pleased with the watch. The blue face is striking in appearance, the bezel is solid and easy to turn and the stainless steel body compliments the overall feel. The watch face is slightly smaller and the overall watch slightly thicker than I anticipated but neither detract from my five star review. I strongly recommend this watch.
