Men's Promaster Dive Eco-Drive Watch, 3-Hand Date, Polyurethane Strap, ISO Certified, Anti-Reflective Curved Crystal, Screw-Back Case and Crown

i've wanted one of these for a long time, and it may have satisfied my need for any more watches. admittedly, i've already purchased some 50 amazing dive watches, so that's part of the reason, but this is such a satisfying 'hockey puck' (as it's called) for someone in love with giant legit dive watches, that it may be all i've ever needed. and if that's your thing, maybe you too. as a review, we already know it's huge, however because of there being no lugs, it wears shockingly well for such a huge watch (i'm a 7" wrist). while heavy and 18mm thick, it balances and sits quite well, if that's a concern. as for everything else, it's all good (as they say). no bezel alignment issues with this or any Citizen as with one other infamous Japanese powerhouse brand. in fact everything is superbly and accurately built and put together. the lume is stunning and equal to first class anywhere. the bezel is what diver nuts dream about: locked in, no backplay, perfectly aligned. that strap is a stiff one, like none other. but since this is foremost a world class diver, the strap qualifies as that and will after a half-dozen wearings conform to your wrist as if molded. personally i love the slight dome on the crystal, and in true diver fashion it is mineral glass to prevent shattering for use as a pro-diver. the bezel is one of the most enjoyable to dial, and even the 60 clicks are a joy...who needs 120. the only issue i should mention is one common to all quartz: the secs hand hitting the markers right on. after fully charged i've found it does one of the better quartz movement jobs of nailing markers...this one hitting right on virtually 100% of the time after a day of being charged (was hitting a little off, but after more of a charge it's amazing). Citizen is one of the best in this dept, tho i did need to return one of these (the yellow strap) a year ago over that issue. thankfully that wasn't the case here as i fell in love with this out the box. speaking of which, given that this was first offered in 2013, it's truly 'vintage'. not sure when this one was made, but it barely had a charge from being in the box. once sunlight hit it, it have a 2sec/2single sec movement, which means it had totally lost it's charge. after research i found when that happens, to charge it with the crown fully out for at least a minute, then if wanted you can keep charging with it in. that tells the watch to reset, and it will begin going in the normal undercharged 2sec intervals. at that point it was so low it took 10 hours under a fluorescent light to get to one sec intervals, and another few hours as well to hit the markers spot on. i've found that with solar watches, if they're low charged, even if not 2sec intervaling, they tend to be slightly less accurate on the markers (clearly an issue with me). Citizens are scads better at quartz/marker accuracy than that other Japanese maker, but the only quartz watches i've found to literally nail the markers with the sec hand are very high end: the $600 Citizen satellite controlled solar diver and the $1800 ($2700 retail) solar diver...both of which i have. do note, i love this $325 Citizen every bit as much as those, and it indeed has just as much wrist presence or more.

It's big but not cumbersome to wear. The stock green rubber band is alright however, I ordered and installed the Suppa-parts DLC bracelet and adapter set after nreadimg so many recommendations from others. It is a nice improvement and goes nicely with the green and black colors of the watch.

The "Eco Zilla arrived on time and in perfect condition. Upon opening and unpacking your impressed by the quality without even picking up the watch. As stated by many others this is not your" fathers Citizen" by any means , but once you get used to the size you find it wears much easier than one would think by looking at it . The build quality is excellent and without fault. The band is stiff but you would not want a flimsy band for this watch and the stainless steel buckle also has a high polish and finish to it. If you take care of this watch your kids kids will have it to enjoy. You must excercize care in screwing down the crown as its stiff to press in and screw but you get used to this you wont cross thread it. While the titanium one is lighter I dont think the cost difference makes it that much better , and besides stainless steel is very good looking and much more scratch resistant. I dont scuba dive but then many buyers dont dive either and really watches are much like any other accessory, its a matter of choice. As watch sizes go there are bigger watches than this but for me this is about as big as I would go. The watch keeps perfect time and you will find it a joy to own as Eco drive watches take the hassle out of battery changing chores and they last a long long time. I have many eco drives and one is at least ten years old and going strong and the case has never been opened. I know the seals are supposed to be checked and replaced every two years , but unless you dive with it , I dont do this. All in all as a gift for your husband or boy friend or any guy that likes watches you wont go wrong with this watch.

This like others have mentioned this is a heavy real deal dive watch, If you want something that looks cool and had a big gigantic crown so people notice you and or watch go ahead and buy an invicta or something. This citizen as well as Seiko divers are the pieces of artwork and serve as a tool for us divers but also have beauty so when we slip out of our wetsuit and into our business suit we don't have to change watches all the time. This watch was as described and has performed flawlessly. The only thing that was mentioned is its ability as a uni directional 120 bezel but it only turns one direction though it is tight and clearly quality Made. Great watch with great warranty and price. Buy with confidence in my opinion especially if you are a diver or will be planning to, otherwise might not be an everyday wear as it is heavy and beautiful

What a beast of a watch! This watch has been on my radar for a few years now; so when my Seiko Monster went missing this was one of the top choices for a replacement. Citizen's sale price plus Amazon knocking off another 10% discount, I did not hesitate to buy it and glad that I did. The watch is very well constructed and a solid tool. With the Eco Drive movement I don't need to worry about watch winders or battery replacement as it's battery recharges on various types of light sources. Citizen also provides a nice 5 year warranty on it. It's a big watch so it's not for everyone. The only con that I can really list is that the watchband cannot be changed without buying custom adapters so no steel bracelet or other options unless you willing to go the custom route. However, the watchband and extension that this watch comes with is very beefy and also well made. It provides a nice counterbalance to the heavy watch case. Well worth the money. ** Update: I have since added the Suppa adapters and a stainless steel bracelet made a great watch even better! After owning it a couple month, my watch has settled and keeps excellent time compared to my atomic timekeeping watch which gets regular updates every day.

I purchased this watch due to it's beauty, size and durability. It comes in a square really nice zippered case that has an extender band and the associated watch literature. This is a quality timepiece. The watch is large but it feels right on the wrist. You will definitely be noticed and stand out with this watch. I walked into an upscale local jewelry store the other day that sells Rolex and other high end watches to get a battery replaced in an old watch of mine. The owners of the store asked about my Citizen Dive Watch when they immediately noticed it. I have had nothing but compliments since I purchased this watch. I get stopped all the time by people inquiring about the watch and where they can get one. You really have to see it to appreciate the size and beauty of this watch. You can't go wrong with this purchase. If you want a watch that will become your standard time piece for any occasion, i.e. dress up or casual then this is the watch for you. Moreover, if you are not sure of the watch due to the rubber watch band you can purchase an adapter from a company called Suppa Parts that allows you to utilize conventional watch bands, i.e. leather, stainless steel, etc. They have a large selection of watch bands designed specifically for this watch. Again, you definitely can't go wrong with a purchase of this watch. Amazon's customer service, reliability and quality are another factor that makes this purchase easy.

I just recently invested in this timepiece; its actually pretty nice watch. I will let you know that it is true about what other people mentioned about this, specific timepiece. Yes, it is pretty dang thick! The watch it self, not the strap. It's thick, but not thick thick. It kinda looks like the gravaton; (I hope I spelled it right?!) that ride from the carnival where it spins in circles and people get magnetized on the walls?! Yeah, that's it. So just picture the "Gravaton" on YOUR, wrist, and thats what this watch well look like; just not that big?! I'm a guy who happens to have small arms and wrists; so this watch isn't just for men; it can be for women as well?! This timepiece happens to be heavy as well. Again, not that heavy. Hell, that cellphone you got in your hands right now, is heavier then this watch; so if you cen carry that cellphone of yours everywhere you go, this watch shouldn't be an issue. Mark my words people. I'm telling this as it is; specific, down to the very last detail. This timepiece can be an very day watch. This is how I'm using it.

I really want to love this watch but I've had a hard time deciding whom to blame for the issues I've seen. This watch looks very cool and is super large. It's very thick and feels like a chunk of stainless steel on the wrist. Yes, you *must* buy adapters to convert the watch to use a bracelet or another band -- but it's such a cool watch -- it's worth the extra cost. The adapters range in cost from $50-$75 available from 3rd party sellers. The downside of this watch is just getting one that has its fit and finish correct. The first Amazon watch (direct Amazon not 3rd party) arrived fine -- but when I removed the adapter, there was a huge tool mark blemish. [I have uploaded a customer photo of the tool mark blemish.] For a $250 watch, there shouldn't be anything wrong. Sent it back and ordered a replacement. The blemish isn't there but there are clearly some poor quality tool marks from Citizen's fabrication of the outer case. These are very small tool marks and hardly noticeable but when removing the adapters, they are much more obvious. Again, a $250 watch shouldn't have these tool marks. Another minor point is that on the new watch, the bezel is loose compared to the first one I received. It was much more stiff and it felt better in my opinion. I've also contacted Citizen Watch Warranty support via email and they blew me off and basically told me to deal with Amazon. I have purchased Citizen watches in the past but, to be honest, I don't think I will again in the near future. I'm not going to play musical chairs with Amazon. I guess the moral of this story is you must go purchase this watch IN PERSON and see for yourself what you're buying. Ask the dealer to remove the adapters before accepting it!

Toppie horloge!

Precioso Reloj,encantado como se ve en la muñeca,vamos recomendadicimo.

I also bought a Rotary watch for similar money, both this and the Rotary are Dive watches, but this is far superior in terms of build quality and luminescents. It is a big watch, well huge, so not a dress watch as it's thick and heavy and the strap is very stiff, but it's actually very comfortable to wear (and I don't have big wrists). This watch is a bit of a collector's piece, as well as a fantastic watch to wear, and at circa £230, it's a really good price. It came well packaged in a scuba tank "box" and it is a watch you'll love to own.

In einer der vorhergehenden Rezensionen war zu lesen, dass die Uhr in keinem Fall alltagstauglich wäre. Das sehe ich anders. Warum? Weil es Geschmacksache ist. Deshalb. Natürlich ist die Uhr wuchtig. Natürlich ist sie groß. Und schwer. Aber es ist ja nicht so, dass die Uhr als flache, elegante Damenarmbanduhr beworben und erklärt wird. "Professionelle Taucheruhr" steht da zu lesen. Ein Gehäuse, das fast 2cm dick ist. Eine Schliesse, mit der man die Uhr einem Elefanten umbinden könnte - und sie würde halten! Was ist der Alltagswert bzw. die Tauglichkeit eines Geländewagens in der Stadt? Eben. Gleich Null. Was ist der Nutzwert eines sportlichen Cabrios über das Jahr gesehen? Eben - kaum vorhanden, weil man ein Cabrio nur ein paar sonnige Wochen im Jahr offen fahren kann. Und genau so ist es mit dieser Uhr. Es ist eine Frage des Geschmacks. Wer Uhren mag, die man am Handgelenk kaum spürt, die unter dem Pulloverärmel/der Hemdmanschette nicht aufträgt... Bitte Finger weg. Die Uhr ist extrem schwer, trägt richtig dick auf und man vergisst zu keinem Zeitpunkt des Tages, dass man sie um hat. Aber es gibt Menschen, die trotz des unpassenden Wetters Cabrio fahren und Leute, die in der Stadt einen Geländewagen fahren. Und warum...? Weil es ihnen gefällt und sie sich damit wohl fühlen. Und mit eben dieser Uhr ist es genau dasselbe. Es gibt Menschen, die wollen, dass sie die Uhr spüren. Die das Gefühl haben wollen, dass die Uhr noch tickt, auch nachdem ein Panzer auf ihr gewendet hat. Und jetzt etwas sehr subjektives... Sie sieht verdammt stylish aus :o) Eine objektive Rezension zu schreiben, ist in diesem Fall schwierig bis fast unmöglich. Ich meine - jemand, der sich einen solchen Klopper kauft, wird bestimmt nicht schreiben, dass die Uhr zu schwer und zu groß ist. Hier kauft man auch keine Uhr. Hier kauft man sich das beruhigende Gefühl von Stahl am Handgelenk. Alles, was diese Uhr macht, ist, die Zeit anzuzeigen. Stunden, Minuten und Sekunden. Und das Datum. Aber ohne den Wochentag. Finito. Keine Stoppuhr, keine Mondphase, keine Hundertstel Sekunde und keine Angabe, wie spät es gerade in Peking ist. Die Uhr vermittelt einem das Gefühl von Wertigkeit und Sicherheit. Das Gefühl, etwas ganz Besonderes, etwas ganz Spezielles zu tragen. Die Uhrzeit gibt sie auch noch an... Was die technischen Angaben angeht - die stehen alle in der Produktinformation. Copy & Paste ist hier nicht nötig. Deshalb nur der Rat an alle, die keine großen und schweren Uhren mögen: Vergesst das Teil ganz, ganz schnell. Und der Rat an Diejenigen, die sicher sein wollen, dass nach dem Atomangriff und der EMP Welle wenigstens noch die Armbanduhr übrig bleibt, legt euch eine zu. Das Teil ist gewaltig.

Orologio magnifico e gigantesco, praticamente un bestione. Acquistato per collezionismo in quanto non faccio immersioni. È in tutto e per tutto un orologio tecnico, quindi non ha nulla in comune con la gran parte dei segna tempo. Partendo dalla cassa d'acciaio massiccia, che sembra uno strumento da barca, fino al rigido cinturino di gomma, il tutto è concepito per le immersioni in profondità. Luminosità degli indici al buio ovviamente ottima, quindi leggibilità complessiva efficace. Aggiungo che, anche se non sembra, è molto comodo da portare per via soprattutto della corona situata ad ore 9. Il cinturino al mio polso da 19 cm va bene e credo che se fosse stato meno rigido, vista la grossa cassa, avrebbe perso stabilità. Invece una volta allacciato non si muove di un millimetro. Il peso è in linea con i diver con bracciale in acciaio per cui non dà alcun fastidio. Un commento su un particolare che alcuni lamentano come difetto: il gioco che si percepisce premendo sulla lunetta girevole è dato dal fatto che sotto la stessa è presente una molletta e solitamente una sfera che ruotando su un anello dentato emette il classico ticchettio con appunto i 60 scatti. Detto ciò, chiaramente il "gioco" è dato dalla molletta interna che tiene sollevata la lunetta. Fin qui le cose positive. Ora veniamo alle cose che non mi sono piaciute. L'orologio è arrivato completamente scarico, cioè fermo, ed essendo un eco drive la cosa non va bene. L'ho messo sotto una lampada a led e dopo circa 15/20 minuti ha cominciato a dare segni di vita, ossia la lancetta dei secondi ha ripreso a muoversi. Spero pertanto non dia problemi in futuro. Ultima cosa alquanto fastidiosa, dopo averlo ordinato il prezzo è sceso all'improvviso di 20 euro. Queste sono le cose di Amazon che non mi piacciono affatto...
