Reviews
Let me start by saying this watch fits me perfect. I’m a small guy 5’5” with a six and three-quarter inch wrist. I do collect watches I have about 22 watches in my collection as of now. Five of those watches are citizen echo drives. The 41 mm case is excellent and so is the bracelet. Thanks Citizen.
Nice! Easy to read in the dark.
As a college student, this watch has been perfect-I can wear it confidently to the lake, classes, and even formal events. Sapphire crystal, eco drive, and an on the fly adjustment make it a great choice for any situation. You cannot go wrong!
You cant beat citizens eco-drive. I appreciate the history and quality of this company. I got this watch as a daily and for work. I was going to change the band out but its so well made, I grew to love it. With all that stainless steel, it's definitely got some good weight to it so it sometimes distal on my wrist when Im moving a lot, but not a big deal. Switching the band would help. The lumination is great but doesnt last long. Not a deal breaker. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this watch. The design is fantastic. Flat surface with raised bezel so the sapphire crystal gets protected from unnecessary scratches, crown protection, screw down crown, date, good hands, and limited writing on the surface. I hate when watches write too much on the face. It should be the brand, 1 or 2 key features of the watch and that is it. Citizen nails it. If youre on the edge about getting this dive watch, make the move. You will love it. And... this wont be your last watch, so keep the collection going:)
Perfect dive watch. No need to spend 1K plus for other dive watches. This is everything you need.
I have the BN0261-51e black dial. Saw it advertised in Spain & Italy a month or two ago. I finally saw it on the Citizen USA website 7 June and ordered it. Got it 11 June. It’s exactly what I wanted. Perfect size, looks great on my 7.25 in wrist. Bezel is smooth. The tool less micro adjusting clasp is fantastic (I adjust the fit a couple times a day)! Solar panels on my roof and in my watches.
I was looking for a diver style watch that fit well on my 6.8” wrist, was solar powered, and this is perfect. Thickness is 11.5mm with a bezel diameter of 40.4mm. It doesn’t say if it has an anti reflective coating on the sapphire, but compared to others in my collection it would seem to.
I've been waiting for this watch for years.
I have 5 divers. And each one lacks something. This has the exact design language I've been waiting years for: Coin edge bezel. Sapphire Crystal. 41mm. The right amount of polish vs brush. Divers extension. 200m. Not a thick monster. I have a 7 5/8" wrist. And at this price it's really really well thought out. The whole package just works. Could double as an actual diver or dress or daily driver. If I had any critique it would be that I would prefer a 120 click bezel but that is super minor. If I had a One Watch Collection. This would probably be it. I've also decided that I align well with the Citizen ethic. A great watch for regular Citizens. Not the super wealthy that have lost touch. But regular working people who deserve quality at a reasonable price. I'm officially becoming a Citizen fan. Happy Father's Day!
Great features and a great price point.
I started looking for a watch that my husband would love based on specific features he has valued over the years, including an eco drive, water resistant to depth, hard crystal and good look. I was excited to find this watch at such a decent price point with all the features ad a classic look. It is not too bulky, dresses up nicely and also good for everyday wear.
Exceptional timepiece
Second purchase of a Citizen watch and am happy with the Eco-Drive mechanism.

After researching watches for a while, I decided to go with the 41 mm dive. Watch in stainless steel with the sapphire crystal. I was able to get it sized for my wrist through the website and it came with a perfect fit. I'm very happy with this purchase and this will not be my last Eco drive as I already have two and I'm very pleased with both watches
Awesome Time piece!
Recently bought my first Citizen on sale at Costco, a beautiful chronograph at a great price. Unfortunately I found I couldn’t see the hands without my reading glasses so back it went and started studying for what might suit me better. Settled on Eco drive, SS bracelet, sapphire crystal, excellent visibility with excellent lume, durable and accurate. I Found the Promaster Dive BN0261-51E and never looked back. One of the best purchases I’ve made for myself regarding overall satisfaction. I love looking at this beauty on my wrist, and best of all I can read it day or night without my reading glasses. It’s absolutely perfect! Citizen customer service was excellent with perfect sizing and very fast shipping.
I love this watch

Fast shipping in a classy container, this watch is exactly as advertised and priced below most competitors as equal or superior in quality of otger Diver's watches.
Fit and Finish 10/10
Beautiful watch, perfect fit and finish. Elected sizing and it was also perfect.
Great dive watch!
Love many things about this watch, especially for the price! The 41 mm size wears perfect on my 7-1/2" wrist. Ordered it pre-sized and it fit right out of the box. Hands are very readable, but a colored second hand might have been nice. The solar powered movement is accurate... within 1 second over 6 days, much better than any chronometer certified automatic. No battery means no case opening required, protecting water integrity of the watch. Thin enough to fit under shirt/suit cuff. The lume is phenomenal... best on any watch that I have ever owned. Finishing is good overall, case better than bracelet, but not quite at premium level. Dive extension will be nice for wetsuit use, and works well for on-the-fly adjustment. Initially had mixed feelings about the 60-click bezel (often 120-click on other watches), but action is smooth and you are never 1/2 click from where you want it. It's aluminum, not ceramic, so time will tell if paint/markings come off. Date window is a little small, but like it better that way. I am glad there is no cyclops lens. And the smaller 3 o'clock lume marker is great for reference at night. It is a go anywhere do anything watch. I put it on in the morning and forget I am wearing it. Best of all, it tells the time! So far, the precision time keeping of this watch is most impressive.
