The watch is gorgeous—nice design, beautiful colors, and a good size for smaller wrists. However, the silicon band has begun to discolor at the edges after just a month of regular wear.
It’s a very nice and lite watch, alas I have a bony wrist and the strap was irritating it, sadly I had to return it.
Got my watch 3 weeks ago. Beautiful, comfortable, great size for a smaller wrist, doesn’t get in a way, easy to read, accurate. I wear it in a pool 5 days a week. Can’t read the date without my reading glasses unfortunately, but it’s ok. I like that it doesn’t have a magnifying bubble over the date as I always destroy those somehow. The wrist band is another story. I liked the color of it - bright and pretty, popping, excellent summer watch. It’s rubber, great to swim in. The band color was a big part of my purchase decision. Unfortunately, in 3 weeks of me wearing the watch, the strap yellowed significantly. From bright blue it turned dirty dull green, not consistent color throughout - it looks old and dirty. The end keepers are made from a different material, they stayed blue, showing a big contrast. The band or the keepers became kind of sticky, it is a pain to put end of the strap through the keepers now. I took the band off and replaced it with a nylon nato strap. Looks good and feels great. I don’t think I will ever put the original rubber band back on. Into the trash it goes. So, the watch is awesome, I am sure I will enjoy it for decades, as my other Citizen watches. The strap is cheap and inferior, don’t expect it to stay its original color or texture.
Male Scuba diver here.This is my fifth Citizen Promaster purchase. This is a girl's watch, considerably smaller in diameter than my others. The band is shorter, as well (only two band adjustment holes remain) so my use with a wetsuit is out. The second hand alignment with the indices is not aligned, off by probably 1/4 second. Of my 5 Promasters, this is the first one which has not been right, as you should rightfully expect for a $300.00. expenditure. I already tried to give it away. The plus is that it looks sharp, (to my eye at least).
