Some points everyone should know about this watch.
By George Magnum on Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024
1. Eco-Drive Technology: Powered by light, it never needs a battery replacement, making it environmentally friendly and hassle-free. Also, very accurate.2. ISO Certified for Diving: Built to meet strict diving standards, it's water-resistant up to 200 meters and highly reliable underwater.3. Luminous Hands and Markers: Offers excellent visibility in low-light or underwater conditions, perfect for diving or nighttime use.4. Rotating Bezel: Allows you to track elapsed time easily, a crucial feature for divers.5. Durable and Stylish Design: Features a green color scheme with a rugged build, combining functionality with aesthetics for everyday wear or adventures.I was a bit hesitant to buy a Citizen instead of saving up just a bit more for a Seiko. However, the price point is more attractive than Seiko divers. I also liked the design of this watch a lot. I scowered lots of reviews, and the consensus is that citizen did a great job with this one. Often referred to as a great "tool" watch as it gets the job done reliably.I’ve been using the Citizen Promaster Dive Eco-Drive Watch for a few weeks now, and it has exceeded my expectations. The ISO certification ensures reliability and durability, making it perfect for diving and everyday wear. The luminous hands and markers are bright and easy to read, even in low-light conditions, and the rotating bezel is smooth and precise for tracking dive times.The Eco-Drive technology is a game-changer—no need to worry about replacing batteries as it charges with light. It also keeps time very well, with a plus or minus of 15 seconds per month.The build quality is excellent, and the watch feels robust yet comfortable on the wrist. It’s a nice combination of practicality and style. Highly recommended for both diving enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a high-performance timepiece.

Bought the watch but was very disappointed how I received it, it came in a plastic bag with no box and scuba tank display. IT was returned

The Budget Hulk Diver That Punches Above Its Weight

This watch represents everything a proper tool watch should be – durable, legible, reliable, and capable of withstanding real-world use. While it may lack the prestige of Swiss luxury brands or the collector appeal of certain Japanese automatic divers, the Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive delivers substance over style while still managing to look fantastic.If you're seeking a dependable dive watch that combines practicality with genuine visual appeal, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better option at this price point. The "Hulk" green version adds a playful touch that elevates it beyond mere utility into something truly special.See my video for more thoughts on this watch...
Best beater

Absolutely in love with Citizen Promaster series. I have had a couple and even gifted one that is still worn by the individual. These timepieces are easy to dress up with so many bracelet options on the open market. I wear mine almost daily and has take the place of much higher end pieces. Never have to worry about battery life. Perfect size for legibility with amazing low light lume that lasts. Feels substantial and strong. Absolutely best value piece out there and is so comfortable. If you are thinking about getting one then don’t hesitate plus the color option look much more impressive in person.

Quartz movements have defects that the second hand doesn’t always land on the dot, I’ve been using it for 2 days… time will tell how durable it is, Green dial is awesome btw, there are no ND charts on the strap though in mine no I dea why…and it came with no protective films on the watch, only a paper slip and warranty info card. No book or manual. Still a cool watch with awesome lumen
Excellent

Watch is great looking and read easily. I do find the band a little funky but not an issue
Screams for a Nato strap!

In late 2024 I wrote a note detailing the list of things that a perfect adventure watch would have. These included:1st. Can't be expensive in case replacement is needed.2nd. Can't be from a brand associated with luxury. I must be able to wear this anywhere without fearing for my safety.3rd. Needs to be able to go underwater. I like water sports.4th. Needs to be very legible with great loom.5th. Needs to be tough as nails.As I finished the list I concluded that there was no such product in the market. Then, I discovered this watch on a YouTube video and was rejoiced to see the watch whose specs I laid out does indeed exist!And now that I own it, I can say that Citizen had surpassed my expectations! This watch is a pro-diver with ISO certification, a unidirectional rotating bezel, a Solar Quartz movement (no more batteries), and everything you could want in a watch of this class.I thought this watch was competing with G-Shocks. It is in fact competing with pro-diver watches from luxury brands.Put it on a Nato strap to get the most out of it. Not that the vanilla rubber band is bad, it's just that the Nato strap goes better with it.Pro-tip: Insert the Nato strap from the 6 o'clock as supposed to the 12, as my pictures show. It will look cleaner and less bulky!
Best watch!!!

As a working Wildlife Biologist, I went through watches in the field almost annually! When I retired, my wife and I decided on this as a retirement gift. Changed the band to a green crocodile one and I LOVE IT!!!! Been through two bands. No winding and no batteries to change. At 74, it will likely outlast me!
