The best watch I ever had, the time is easy to read, at night the lume lasts for hours, literaly. Accurate to a few seconds a month, I take it scuba diving every day (I'm dive instructor), have shower with it, play on the beach...and not a bit of water in, the strap is a bit hard at the beggining but it gets better over few days, no need to replace batteries....
Is the last watch I'm going to buy, because it will last forever, is very resistant to scratches so far. It seems big at 44mm but on my wrist 17cm looks perfect, even nicer than a 41mm automatic mechanical that I had, also is not very tall which helps not to get on your way while putting the hands on your jean pockets for example. I was always a fan of mechanical watches, but even the nicest ones lose around +- 20/30 seconds a day, a friend with a Rolex submariner, even after fresh service (550eur only service every 3 years, no spare parts included) it still looses 50seconds a week, with this Citizen with the caliber E168 you will only add about 15sec....a Month! I found peace not adjusting the time every 4 days or so. If you are thinking on buying it go for it with blind confidence, it will last for years, it will save you money without needing to change batteries, looks amazing and is a joy to look at it every day, and is not too bulky for a dive watch, value for money is a no brainer, 5 stars no doubt!
It is a very nice watch for its price and for anyone who wants to approach diving watches. The solar mechanism Solar Drive by Citizen is guaranteed for many years! I wear it with an aftermarket strap in yellow color and it is a must-have for all trips and excursions in the summer! This way, I keep the original strap intact, in case I need it (: I have a thin wrist and I am surprised at how well it fits considering its size (and thickness). Other watches at 42mm look like they are 52mm on my wrist. Nice sturdy construction!
Only 2 negatives:
1. Because the strap has "curves" where it attaches to the watch, it can come off a little from its position. It may be due to my thin wrist, I don't know.
2. The Bezel (the disc around the dial that rotates) is painted black, which means it is sensitive to scratches, etc. If it falls, it will eventually get damaged.
I recommend it! You will enjoy it a lot in the mountains and at the beach!
The watch is beautiful and of good quality, with a sturdy construction, and I don't feel it heavy on my wrist. The strap is made of rubber and also seems to be of good quality, I just wish it was a little softer (I don't know why, but mine doesn't have the nd limits printed on it). I did some research before buying it, and what I liked the most is that with this price, you get a historical watch with identity, which makes it collectible. Another very positive thing for me is the fact that it has an eco drive mechanism, which means that for many years you won't have to deal with changing the battery, as it charges itself with sunlight. The luminescent feature it has is not to be played with, especially because it is very bright at first, but the nicest thing is that even after several hours, even in a dark environment, you can still see the time, although the brightness has decreased. Its biggest advantage is that with this low price, it has managed to stand out in the market, and I think there is no one who is even slightly interested in watches and doesn't know it as a model. I highly recommend it, I don't know if there is anything similarly good at this price.
I have had it since it was first released (in 2014 if I remember correctly) and even though I have put it through a lot, it still looks brand new. Perhaps the best choice on the market for divers at this price range. My only objection is the factory strap.
ECO DRIVE Beautiful, economical, and highly accurate, durable.
Mine, because it was in its box, in the store for a long period of time without light, had entered safe mode and the second hand was moving every two seconds. However, the time did not lose at all. After leaving it in the sun for about 15 minutes, it charged for another year and the second hand was measuring normally!
Amazing, perfect for everyday use, value for money, Citizen eco drive, what else can someone ask for at this price? Maybe in the future, the rubber could be replaced with a bracelet, but that is purely a personal opinion. Whoever is looking for a daily watch, branded, beautiful, accurate, durable, and at a low price should have already bought it, wherever you find it, get it with closed eyes...!!
Really if you don't put it on your wrist, it's hard to understand how beautiful and sturdy it is! I agree with what has been mentioned in previous reviews. Well done to CITIZEN!
P.S: Mine came in a box and not in a bottle, and the same can be seen on the internet. I don't know if it has to do with a change in policy or if it depends on the batch. Either way, the essence is inside the packaging!
Excellent. Ten with tone in finish, dimension, symmetry usability and accuracy. It will be difficult to put another watch on afterwards. Definitely try it with a metal bracelet of your choice (at 20mm) and it soars.
Up close, the watch is much nicer than it appears in the photos. It gives you the feeling of a more expensive watch. I recommend it to those who want a comfortable everyday watch (I'm not referring to its diving capabilities because I didn't buy it for that purpose). Particularly satisfied so far, I wear it daily.
Very beautiful and accurate. Although it is big, it fits very nicely even with average wrists (19 cm).
The only negative thing is the date, which requires glasses to read. The strange thing is that there is space, because the watch is large in size.
In the end, it is definitely worth the money and more.
One of the most beautiful watches designed and released in recent years, and at a shocking price. Especially when you wear it, you will constantly wonder if you really paid less than €200 for it. Amazing Lumen, in a beautiful Blue Teal color, there is also a related video on YouTube that compares this model with other much more expensive ones and it outshines them completely. It only falls short in comparison to the Tritium models of Vostok Europe, but there we are talking about quadruple the cost and more.
Many others have written and commented on the Eco-drive before me, and I don't need to add anything, it is simply the future mechanism in wristwatches. The other Japanese brands, mainly Seiko and Casio, have also given good examples with their Solar mechanisms, but Citizen was the first to show the way.
As for the size, a big bravo to Citizen, as they managed the unimaginable and let me explain: Cases larger than 42mm are not suitable for small wrists. Here we have a 44mm case with a bezel that, instead of "extending" like in all diving watches and similar types, "closes" towards the inside, making the watch appear smaller (and much more elegant) than it actually is. Personally, I replaced the rubber strap with a leather racing style one, and the combination is truly unique. Finally... all of us with average or small wrists managed to wear a 44mm watch!!!!!
It can be worn on all occasions, let's not forget that the wristwatch, apart from the engagement ring (something very special and specific), is the only piece of jewelry that men have left and sets them apart from the kid wearing a smartwatch. Because let's face it, wearing pacman on your wrist is not very elegant.
The only drawback is the date, placed at the 4 o'clock position for alignment with the crown (correct here), but inexplicably indistinct without understanding why they designed it so small, without of course ruining the overall image.
As for the accuracy of the time, I have absolutely nothing to write, as I don't remember ever having to make any adjustments. Honestly, this mechanism deserves praise, it's not digital, kids...
The ecstatic comments, from the first day of release, all over the internet, are not just a coincidence, and I am simply confirming it. Personally, I have never encountered a wristwatch or any product in general that receives a perfect score of 10 out of 10 everywhere, no matter where you look, you will be amazed by the enthusiasm that prevails.
Undoubtedly, the biggest success of the Japanese company and Citizen itself will need to be extremely careful when and if they decide to either simply upgrade the existing model or design the next generation Promaster from scratch, because with such features at such a price... they nailed it.
See it up close in a store window and you will understand.
Incredible value for money. Very beautiful, battery charging mechanism with the light, not heavy in the hand like most diver's type watches, nor huge in size. It gives you the feeling of a much more expensive watch. The strap is comfortable, moderate in quality but it is something that can be easily changed.
Whatever I say is not enough.
I don't know if I have ever bought a more value for money watch as a collector.
Eco drive mechanism which still has power reserve after a year in the drawer (I only wear it in the summer).
Extremely accurate. It wears much smaller than its dimensions may suggest. It withstands drops and the sea as much stress as it may undergo, especially in the summer.
It comes with the yellow bottle of citizen which symbolizes that what you got will make you come out unscathed and will last forever!!
Bravo to citizen. It is a guarantee!
Quality and sturdy watch. Looks very beautiful on the wrist. Comfortable strap. Eco drive mechanism. Ideal size to not bother the wrist. Perhaps the best entry level diver.
