Returned

The casing and bracelet was well made and well finished, but bracelet feels light, thin, and unsubstantial. The second hand hits less than half of the second indices dead-on. For this price I expect better in this area. Even a 60 USD Casio Duro (although it is not solar/light powered) is able to hit all second indices perfectly. The watch also wears too small on my 7.5 inch wrist, good for people who are looking for vintage size. Maybe good for the price point of ~300 USD, but not for me. I will continue searching for the perfect budget diver.

Proven Tough, But is Finish Right for You?

I've owned another Citizen Eco-Drive for close to a couple decades and it has been rock solid, even through lots of swimming, snorkeling, being knocked around with manual labor, etc. I was looking to add this as a less beat up & more colorful addition. While I like the color and trust the build quality, i found the machined edges of the watch body, bezel and even the watch band to be too sharply squared off and sort of uncomfortable to the touch. That's why I've taken one star off my rating. Because of this I've returned it and will shop for a different Citizen eco-drive option.

Promaster Dive BN0260-54L

This is my first quality watch and must say I’m very pleased. The fit and finish are first rate. The look and feel are fantastic. If I had one issue, it is that the bezel is not centred at top dead centre. It’s off to the right about one degree. This will be my everyday watch for years to come.

Love the watch

So far I haven't had the watch long enough to formulate any complaints I purchased this because it is solar powered, sapphire crystal, and it has date. These are qualities I plan to enjoy a long time. What I don't enjoy and why not 5 stars is the bracelet has a cheap feel and it bothers me enough I'm hoping to replace it soon. Honestly, I won't be able to enjoy the watch until I can get a better quality bracelet put on. So to be more accurate, the watch is a 5 and the bracelet a 3 at best.
