“I've had this watch for 9 months now and am generally very pleased. The accuracy is as good or better than my Omega Seamaster Professional. The durability and "water-proofness" are excellent. The price is very much worth it. The only complaint is the silicone strap holders don't stay in place and the strap itself has stretched. I wish there were a metal bracelet matching the perimeter of the case instead.”

“I have now had this watch for a month and a half, never leaves my wrist period. I found it to be a little flashy the star burst dial and polished sides but I really like it on my just over 8 inch wrist and sits well on the wrist with no movement but still can put my fingers underneath the case. The watch runs about 6 seconds too fast over a month please allow a second or two, so really good time keeping I can live with 72 seconds a year difference as someone else said are you timing rocket burn times!! The date is to small for my older eyes I will add a magnifier to it, not sure if you can on a domed glass? Also the strap holders are not the best but actually not that bad either.I am a tradesman so during work it has to put up with bumps, scrapes and hard impacts from time to time, My last watch still working after 10-11 years but the lume wasn't the best which this watch does surpass but after waking up in the morning still is very hard to read. Overall I really like the watch it will take 5 years before I would say I love it, great watch thus far and for the money too thanks Citizen. P.s. As I live in New Zealand and they don't sell the watch here, I tried to register the watch but I didn't buy it from a authorised dealer, I have to send it to a authorised dealer to have it verified as someone else had used the same number, I have opened the back case and it's legit from photos I have seen of the movement etc.”

“Absolutely love this watch. Gorgeous, rugged, perfect size and weight. One thing I can't wrap my head around is Citizen insisting on these proprietary bands. If you are not putting this over a wet suit you are not going to like the long band. I have big wrists/forearms and it's still too long. You constantly have to adjust the two keeper bands. So annoying that I can't go find a different band. This is my third eco-drive and two of them had similar bands. It's literally the only thing that bothers me about these watches but it's a big deal. Please listen Citizen.”

“Cheap rubber band is absolutely ugly, and it finally snapped off after 2 years of diving (total only about 40 dives). Citizen’s limited warranty apparently doesn’t cover this. Won’t be buying citizen ever again.”

“I’ve had my pro master diver for at least 5 years and I’m buying a band at least once a year. At this point I have spent at least as much for bands as I did for the watch when new. It is a great dive watch, I have not had any issues at maximum depth with normal air and one mix gas dive to 155 ft. If not for the problems with the band wearing out I would give it a 5. If”

“20 Times a day I'm reminded to adjust the strap holders ans they slide down off the band. I purchased a nylon strap to replace the band only to discover the watch has a proprietary band. And I will have to use a Dremel tool to grind down the watch. This is not an option as I will not to that to a new watch. Do not buy this watch unless you can be satisfied with the band.”

“love this watch searched for a while before I bought it, but in 2 years I have had 2 straps which is not acceptable!! luckily the both times the strap failed I managed to catch the watch. At £60 for a genuine replacement its not on. Im currently trying to locate a metal strap.”
