PROMASTER DIVER BLUE DIAL

Great watch. Handsome, accurate, always on and always shows the right time. Powered by the sun (“Eco-Drive”) and other light sources, so essentially you never need to worry about a battery. I own a few automatics as well as quartz watches, and since I rotate them, it is handy not to have to fiddle with the automatics that have run down. The only care and feeding my Citizen ProMaster Diver needs is to advance the date at the end of those five months with less than 31 days. I bought the ProMaster Blue Diver as a knock-around watch, but its turning into my go-to watch. Looks great with jeans, khaki’s or even with a suit. This ProMaster is getting more and more wrist time. I also bought the gold version, but honestly, the blue is my favorite. I’ve seen it also available in black, green and red. Hats off to Teddy for his great YouTube videos, and his outstanding service on his watch selling site. This is my third TB watch, and I have my eye on a few others...

Teddy's video reviews on watches are always on point and provide pros & cons of each timepiece. His review of this Citizen blue-dial Pro Diver was accurate. If you want an super affordable entry-level dive watch that looks both great on the wrist and in the water, I recommend this timepiece especially if you're on the fence on getting one. I purchased a red silicon/rubber strap to pair with this watch after seeing reviews that the included blue strap tends to be on the bigger/longer side to accommodate wetsuits.

For just over $200.00, this Citizen Eco Drive is a great diver's watch with a ton of value. The indices and hands are large and visible with great illumination in the dark. The easy legibility is a must have for any dive watch. The rotating bezel is solid, easy to turn and does not slip back at all. The crown is secure, just like you would hope for, and the strap is comfortable as well. The dive specs on the strap might turn some away, but I think it makes this piece even more authentic and catered towards actual divers given the utility. It is a bulky watch for sure, but I have fairly slim wrists and it doesn't feel too big or too cumbersome at all. In my opinion, the placement of the date window is a little awkward, but it's small enough to not stand out too much so it's not really a big deal. Both color options are solid and I love that little splash of orange to make the hand pop out from the dial just a bit more. It keeps time reliably with minimal sunlight exposure and I feel like for an entry level diver's watch this gets the job done with style. Some of Citizen's watches feel a bit too "busy" for me with a lot of detail on the dial or bezel, but that is not the case with the Promaster Diver.

The Promaster is a little bigger and heavier watch than I am used to wearing, but I am pleased with it on my wrist. It's a good looking watch and catches the eye of friends. I have already had a few compliments.

Lume is really impressive when out at night. Lots of band options with the 20mm lug width. Bezel rotates smoothly. 200M water resistant made affordable. Combined with an easy to read dial and the ecodrive, you got a watch that is set and forget it, ready to wear anywhere.

This watch had exceeded my expectations. Looks good online - looks great in person. Quality and comfort!! Shipping was super fast and communication with the team was fast, accurate and helpful.
