I bought this watch a year ago for spearfishing, diving, work, etc. I’m a U.S. Army combat diver and work in Key West FL teaching new combat divers. I’m in the water 2-3 days a week, most of that spent at depths ranging from 10-130 ft. I previously used a casio g-shock as a backup to my dive computer but the timer button would hit my depth gauge and stop the time, extremely frustrating and ineffective for a backup to clock TTD. The only time the g-shock was decent for the task was if it was attached to a navigation board for closed-circuit diving. Enter the citizen promaster diver: I researched various options and ended up narrowing the choice down to this watch or a seiko skx777. I chose the citizen because of the eco drive and quartz mvmt being easier to use/less attention required than an automatic mvmt. I set my promaster time by the time.gov atomic clock and after one year the time has only shifted 2 seconds. Im very happy with the amount of illum as well. Too much illum can ruin night vision of your eyes and can actually be seen on a calm clear water night from the surface as divers approach their target. I like how i can charge up the citizen w a flashlight if need be, but found that illum from normal sun exposure during the day is adequate for night diving. Overall, for all practical purposes, this watch is perfect for all the tasks i require of it. I’ve considered buying a second one just to keep NIB so that i can give it to my son when he grows up in fifteen years because I’m confident mine will still be running and I’m afraid such a fine product will cost big money eventually.

This watch is a great value. I really like the offset crown and the size of the face and hands. The glow is easy to read in dark situations. No winding, no battery to change, rugged construction, what more would you want?

Bought the watch after debating the merits of the skx007 verus the promaster eco diver I am glad i decided ecodrive the promaster is so classic and I don't have to worry about jerking off to keep an automatic within 15 seconds a day accurately to atomic time Plus citizen has a second hand hacking position that you 007 agents can't imagine At the end off the day it's all about knowing the right time...
