Great watch for everyday use or as a dress watch.
This was the 4th Citizen watch I have purchased over he last 35 years. I even still have my Titanium Promaster Dive watch and is still going strong after over 1000 dives and 25 years, This watch is another great example of a good quality product with a fair and reasonable price. So far it keeps great time and I love the styling. On the rare occasion I have had a problem, the Citizen Watch Company has stepped up and been more then fair. Buy a watch and feel comfortable you are buying a Quality product from a quality company.
I got one of these for my 64th birthday, and honestly my first reaction was: “A watch? Really? WTF?” I’m not a jewelry or watch person at all. But after using it on canoe trips, sled dog races, hiking, and cinematography and sound gigs, I’m kind of blown away. Sure, smartwatches do more, but I really like the old-school analog setup. In a tent at night, I can tell the time without glasses. On the river, it’s 100% waterproof, and I can quickly calculate my speed and decide whether I can outrun a coming hailstorm or tornado warning. When I’m filming, a quick glance shows me time to sunset/magic hour—no buttons, no menus, no BS. It works anywhere: no tech, no signal, no fuss. The Eco-Drive feature has been flawless. And I have to admit, it looks a bit upscale—so for a dirtbag outdoors guy like me, it actually ups my credibility when traveling. It’s been about three years now. I don’t wear it daily—maybe three to six months at a time—and it’s been flawless. I do have to adjust the date depending on the month, but that’s probably pilot error. An awesome gift.
I ordered the Promaster Dive fully expecting a quality timepiece but what I didn't expect was the exceptional feel and luxe-level appearance. I am very pleased.
