“I was really pleased with the whole process of ordering my Promaster tough.The item came in a few days and I am impressed with the quality of the watch. It feels and looks solid. If this watch performs like my other Citizen ECO drives, I should have it for several years.”

“I like this watch from the moment I saw it. U tried it on and the band was rigid but I thought it would break-in and wear nicely. Then I tried on the metal band Promaster Tough and it was perfect. So I purchased both, I have yet to take the ballistic Cordura strap watch off. It has nestled onto my wrist and I get baby compliments too. At some point I will utilize the stainless Promaster Tough but it has spent its 3 weeks with me in its box.”

“Watch was nice. Band was too rigid and the date was difficult to read. Returned it in one day. Customer service was fantastic.”

“Bought this in February and after getting used to the fact it was not a leather or rubber style band, i am in love with this watch. I wear all the time including pools, golf, showers, weddings, work- it wears great and does not lose shape or scratch. Possibly one of the best things i have ever purchased.”

“I collect big watch brands with mechanical or manual movement and I was curious about this black mat finish. I wear this watch every day with my others watches. The watch is very confortable due to its mono block case: - Tri dimension dial adds a lot to depth - Numbers and wording add ( not too plain, not too busy) - Screw crown is easy to handle when adjusting the date/ hour - Shape of case/ faceted lugs / bezel / DLC (?) coating / shape of hands and indexes make this watch unique. - the proportions are great with a 22mm lugs. However again as mentioned in previous reviews, the strap is definitely too stiff but lugs size made it easier to source! The spring bars are very thick and slightly scratched the lugs when mounting outsourced rubber strap. The dial is amazingly finished ( index glows like a torch with blue and green super luminova ) . PS: About the date, I seen may complain about the small size but to me, it’s a cool watch/ tough and a larger would have unbalanced the dial so its a plus for me... And we can still read the date without any issue. - It’s a keeper! Unique and timeless!”

“This watch was a gift from my wife and is true to form. It took a few days to break in the band but since that, I have rarely taken it off. The quality is amazing and its simple and clean features really appeal to me.”

“I love how this watch looks, it is my favorite Citizen that I have seen in a while. I liked it so much that I bought it. After taking it home and wearing it for a bit I realized the strap is terribly uncomfortable. The rubber is extremely thick on the strap which causes a few problems: it is stiff and doesn’t conform to my wrist, and the strap retainers and are irritating. Also the clasp is sharp and digs into my wrist when I wiggle the watch. I LOVE how this watch looks but the ergonomics of the strap are so bad that I will be returning it.”
