Promaster Dive Eco-Drive Watch, 3-Hand Date, ISO Certified, Luminous Hands and Markers, Rotating Bezel

Honestly, I love this watch for several reasons but I’ll get into that in a sec… A quick precursor- I am into watches, but I am not a typical “watch collector guy” who wants or needs to buy and collect a ton of watches. I want one or two reliable durable watches that I enjoy, mainly one for everyday wear and a fitness watch for tracking my steps/runs when I want to do so. My first couple of watches were a Casio duro dive watch and a g shock. Although these are great watches for the price, I really wanted a little bit nicer watch to wear daily that would last me a long time. For this reason I didn’t mind spending a bit more on a watch than I previously had. I was considering a seiko for a long time, specifically a seiko samurai. I know seiko watches are tagged as affordable starter watches, but I still didn’t feel like spending upwards of 400-500 dollars on a watch (this didn’t feel like a wise use of my money, but that’s just my opinion). I almost bought a seiko samurai for around $470 on Amazon but could not get myself to drop that amount of money. Before this citizen dive watch, I had thought automatic was always the way to go, but what I loved about my Casio duro was that if I left it off for a couple of days, when I put it on, I didn’t need to reset the time because it didn’t need to be moved or winded. It was simply a grab and go watch and I loved that. I finally stumbled across this citizen diver (I previously was not attracted to most of the citizen watches I had seen). The thing that first stuck out to me about this citizen diver was the design and the price point. Around $240 dollars for a durable ISO certified tool dive watch that didn’t need to be worn constantly to keep time. Not only that, I really liked the durable look and appeal. I then saw that it was eco drive which means that it draws power from light, thus, I never would have to really mess with changing the time (minus adjusting date from time to time). After considering my options, and reading a lot of reviews of people who have had the watch for YEARS and still love it, I was sold. A durable tool dive watch that is powered by light and has good loom and design. Oh yes and the loom is pretty great on this watch too. I have owned this watch for about a week I really like it! I tend to like a smidge bigger size of watch so at first I thought it looked a little small. I have worn it for a while now and this is not an issue. It’s an all around good sized watch (not too big, not too small) I got the blue version which I think looks really nice. If you, like me, don’t want to spend A TON of money on a watch but are willing to fork out a bit of moolah for quality, want reliability, durability, accurate time keeping, good design, great loom, and nothing too flashy, then this is a great option. 9.5/10 (I wish it was a SMIDGE bigger, but it is still a great size for my liking)

Well, So far, I'm quite happy with this watch. It seems to be of good quality and keeps pretty darned accurate time. The brightness of the illuminating components (after being subjected to a fair amount of light) seem to be of decent brightness and it does last at least a little while, maybe around 20 minutes or so at that brightness. Then it fades but is still readable in pure darkness. I'd purchase another one if and or when the "time" came.

Excellent watch – I love the Eco-Drive concept I am extremely pleased with this Citizen Promaster. I really like its rugged diver-style appearance; it looks and feels like a watch built to last, while still being attractive enough for everyday use. What I enjoy most, however, is Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. No regular battery changes, no charging cable, and unlike an automatic watch, it does not need to be worn or moved regularly to keep running. Just normal exposure to light keeps it going. I actually prefer this concept even to automatic movements because of its simplicity and convenience. The dial is very easy to read, the blue color combined with the orange accents looks fantastic, and the watch has a substantial, almost indestructible feel without looking excessive on the wrist. For me, this is what a great everyday tool watch should be: rugged, reliable, attractive, low-maintenance, and always ready to go. Eco-Drive makes the whole package even better.

This is my second Citizen eco-drive watch. As expected, the Citizen Promaster Dive watch’s quality and functionality is beyond reproach. The setup of the time and date are very easy to understand and the use of the bezel for dive times is self explanatory. Although at 44mm the watch doesn’t seem large or clunky on your wrist. What I really like is the glow-in-the-dark (luminous) numbers on the face. This makes it highly readable in dark conditions. The bezel has a luminous pearl at 12 o’clock making it highly visible too. Not sure for how long, but by early AM the visibility had decreased. The polyurethane band will require some break in, but isn’t uncomfortable out of the box. The eco-drive feature is a must have. My older Citizen is 25 yrs old and still going strong. I expect nothing less from the Promaster Dive. Highly recommend the Citizen Promaster Dive with eco-drive.

This is a beautiful service/dress watch. The Eco Drive system works well and keeps accurate time. The luminous feature works excellently and the watch is built like a tank. I appreciate the use of mineral glass in place of sapphire crystal for impact resistance as I am an avid mountaineer and constantly deal with scrambling up boulders, ice shelves, etc. This thing will definitely keep ticking for at least 20+ years. I exercise hard with it on and that includes a fair amount of sharp movements and shaking a of the wrist. So far no problems. I am grateful they tried their best to have a watch durable enough for diving without making the watch the size of a dinner plate. If you work with your hands, having something with a smaller profile like this watch, lends itself to function as opposed to solely a dress piece. For durability, appearance, and the size being just right for me, this gets 5 stars.

These watches are a great bang for the buck and hard to beat. If you are a newcomer to the watch world, the Eco-Drive system is durable, accurate and lasts a long time without changing the internal rechargeable battery. The screw down crown and solid case make a great diver watch for 99% of the people buying it. That being said, my only complaint from myself and many others is that the watchband that comes with it is very stiff and uncomfortable. And many, many people have been complaining about this in forums and online videos but Citizen has yet to address it and make changes. I am aware that it is easy enough to buy another watchband and change it ( I do it all the time) but I would rather have a slightly softer, higher quality watchband than the scuba tank display case they ship it in which has to cost multiple times the cost of a slightly upgraded band. I am a watch addict with 40-50 watches and this is just my opinion.

This watch has got to be one of the best watches I’ve ever purchased. The color is absolutely stunning, it’s a bit of a head turner. The silicone band is pretty nice I know some people in the comments don’t seem to like it but it’s comfortable, doesn’t look bad and it’s durable. Also what some people have mentioned about the seconds hand skipping twice is just the watch in Low power mode. When you just removed it from a box and a container the eco drive watch has been kept in the dark. It takes a few hours for the watch to go into a normally charged state. I took this watch for a dive this weekend and have had no problems with it whatsoever. Even if you don’t go on dives this is a must have watch

Let me first say this is not my first watch nor my first dive watch. I have to say I am impressed with this watch. The finish is a very nice brushed finish and the dial is amazing. The sunburst effect of the dial is captivating. Lume is on par with watches that cost 5 to 10 times more. The only negative I can comment on is the strap. It is stiff and uncomfortable. The standard 20mm lug width makes strap replacement a breeze. Other than the strap, this is an amazing watch at a great price.

Love the box it came with, everything was as I expected, very happy with the watch it looks great

This Citizen Promaster Diver is a great watch. I was a little bit of a skeptic when it came to it being solar-powered with its Eco-Drive but it proved to be worth it. It has a chunky feel and it has some weight to it in a way that makes me know that its stainless-steel case and bezel is quality-built. The crown, when pulled out to adjust the time, still feels a little fragile compared to the rest of the watch. Be prepared for the second-hand to be skipping the moment you pull it out of the box, you will have to give it a good charge in the sunlight or lamp-light(from a safe distance) to get that battery charged up for regular second-hand intervals. The Eco-Drive can not be overcharged so you can let it get some sunlight as long as you like without worry. 200m/20BAR of water-resistance is worry-free as well, just make certain that the crown is screwed in tight. Good lume as well, nice and bright. Read up on the watch's workings and how to set its time from Citizen's website and do not forget to REGISTER IT. Cool watch, I am glad I got the Affirm financing to purchase it for an affordable $307CDN; it usually sells anywhere from $370-$450CDN everywhere else. I recommend it.

Purchased this product almost a month ago. At first the packing. It was a huge box wrapped by some protective layer. Inside that box was lying a scuba tank which is worth seeing. Inside that tank, was the watch. Next the watch. You will be amazed to see the beauty of it. The polished stainless steel case, the glossy crown with the Promaster emblem in it, the highly glossy outline of the index markers will mesmerize you. The hands are beautiful with the hour hand outlined by glossy stainless steel, minute hand with vibrant orange outline, and the second hand is a thin white hand with a lume at the tip. The hour & minute hands are wide enough to see the time at any lighting condition. The dial is the deep navy blue colour (my favourite colour) on which the index marks & the hands really pop out. The bezel is also of deep navy blue colour. The strap is also navy blue colour which you may change if you donot like rubber strap. Now come to the time keeping capability of the watch. Its running 2 seconds late after 24 days. That means -3 seconds per month which is highly satisfied as you have to adjust time once in a year. Next the charging. The charging is quite fast. I opened the packing at night & after some exposure to the table lamp, it started running & I was amazed to see it running when I woke up in the morning though in a 2 seconds interval. After exposing it beside the window after about 2 hours, it began to tick in 1 second interval. Now the most striking feature of this watch - lume. Its awesome. You cannot understand this feature at the daytime, but at night, even in the middle of night, after 5 hours of last exposure to light, you can clearly see the glowing hands & markers with the naked eye (generally i use specs for reading & writing but to see timing in this watch, I donot use specs, it is so prominent). I was searching such feature in a watch for a long time & it is completely fulfilled by this watch. I really love it. Now the cons. The date window is really small though you can somehow manage to see it. the day is missing. The dial is quite large for small to medium wrists. The strap is of rubber. Final verdict : Every watch in this world has some pros & cons. It has also some. But despite it's cons, you should go for this watch without any hesitation as the appearance of the watch with deep navy blue dial & luminous hands & markers is great, the visibility of the hands is extraordinary, the lume is amazing with about -3 seconds variation per month. Its a must have watch. Addition after 7 months : it is running 8 secs late i.e., almost 1 sec per month. excellent.

Excelente produto.
