nice looking watch keeps time well so far. band is ok. would be nice if there was a fine tune fit like on the buckle. seems too tight in one hole-too loose in the next. if there were two holes in the rubber by the buckle you fine tune the fit.

I gave myself this watch as an early Christmas present. Besides being sturdy and built to withstand the elements I've always liked the look of a nice dive watch, and had my eye on this one for a little while. The picture doesn't do the face justice as it is almost a denim blue the same color as the band with a darker blue bezel, very easy to read at a glance. The lume on this watch is the best of my three dive watches and better than my other watches too. Even when in deep shadow in the daylight you can pick up the blue glowing hands and hour markers and without "charging" the lume with a strong light it glows on my nightstand all night, amazing. It has quickly become my favorite everyday watch. The band is quite sturdy but still very supple and the slight almost cloth-like texture on the skin side keeps it from sliding around. Some watches of this type can be rather large and clunky for everyday casual wear, this one is very comfortable and not too big. I have received several compliments especially on the nice blue color. I own two other Eco-Drives, the oldest 15 years so I expect I will be enjoying this one for quite a while.

First let me say this is my first watch of this style. I own a few other of Citizens bigger more elegant watches and wanted one of these for when I am being active, out on a hike or something. My biggest complaint is that the watch needs a magnification window over the date, or the date just needs to be a bit bigger. I mean this is meant to be an active watch with the option to dive with. If I am under water or on a hike I want to be able to look at my watch very quickly and get whatever information I am looking for... The watch band feels alright. It probably needs to be broke in a bit. I am used to wearing Citizen clasp bands that are on their heavier watches that out of the box conform really nice to your arm usually. The face could be a bit bigger as well for my taste. I am a bigger guy, 6’3” 210 lbs so I am sure it is just right if your a bit smaller of a person. Overall I am keeping it because on sale it was right at $200 and it’s the only style watch I now own of this kind and it’s handy when I don’t want to wear a $500-$1000 watch on a hike or a swim. Also it seems like more of a pain at this point to go they the whole return process when simply put. “It will do”....

I own a Citizen Titanium Skyhawk and the blue Promaster is a fantastic watch for hundreds less. Pros: ISO 6425 certified dive watch will withstand hard use Screw down crown and case back Quartz accuracy only surpassed by synched devices Hacking 200 meter water resistance allows for any activity Cost to value is fantastic for an Eco-Drive dive watch Great casual / sporting look, straps can be changed in seconds Low cost of NATO straps allows for many inexpensive style options Incredible lume intensity and duration Rotating bezel allows for basic timing without a stopwatch Cons: Small date window is hard to read Watch requires exposure to strong light at regular intervals Factory strap looks / feels cheap, bulky, color too light No power reserve meter, only low power indication via sweep hand Painted aluminum bezel is soft and easily scratched Mineral glass prone to scratching

I have the Stainless Steel Band version of this lovely watch, and I have had Similar divers type watches in the past and can say I love the design of the watch, especially the wind/time change pull out pin. I decided to purchase the Black version as this looks more Professional and resembles a divers watch. Enjoy Ade
