I normally wear rubber strap watches since I am in and out of water any other day (snorkeling, beach, spearfishing, pool) and after having this model for a little longer than a year, I can say I love it! Comfortable, resistant and reliable the watch looks great on the wrist. I even stopped wearing some of my other watches.get plenty of compliments and people is surprised to see its a citizen. Never bother about winding (sun and artificial light do this for me (ecodrive) the Luminescent hands and marker last forever and with a depth of 200 m no concerns when going deep dives. The rubber they selected for strap never smells ( awesome) and the rose gold tone make it such a beautiful eye catching time piece. You’ll love it.
I wanted a dive watch that had a unique color scheme, but wasn’t ostentatious. This watch is beautiful in person. Great Citizen quality, as always.
Love the watch, always had the silver and black. Just wanted a gold one . Have owned a dive watch from Citizen for 50 years.
I recently purchased this watch from a major retailer for myself. I've been wearing a Samsung watch for the past few years and will never give it up but was looking for an analog style watch to purchase. After seeing advertisements for Citizen watches I purchased the promaster watch in gold and black. (bn0163-00h) This is a fantastic looking watch that is well designed and I'm sure will be a big seller. When I purchased the watch I knew it only had a 44mm wide case and I generally don't purchase cases that small. It's too bad Citizen doesn't get away from the old school small faces and go with larger case size in 2023. The only thing that could make this watch a home run would be a larger case.
Just what I wanted and expected from Citizen.
looking at all the pictures, it does show a gray band.... not black. I think viewers were not observant therefore thought it was a black band... its clearly gray

This timepiece has been reliable and has exceeded my expectations. I use it quite often while swimming for exercise. I often get compliments on it. Still looks great after several years of ownership. If you purchase one you won’t regret it. I especially appreciate the tough looking dive chest box I store it in when I am not wearing in it. It’s great for display purposes. This watch is my daily driver! I own several Citizen watches and have gifted them and they are much appreciated! Especially the Eco drive feature. Citizen thanks for making amazing watches that are a great value!
