Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.
During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of "world’s firsts" is unmatched.
More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery.
Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions (See the full Citizen Eco-Drive FAQ here)
How can you tell if the Eco-Drive watch is getting enough light?
In normal use, the watch displays the time and the sweep-second hand moves in one second intervals. A very important feature of Eco-Drive is the Low Charge Warning Mode which as a result of low battery voltage, causes the second hand to jump two seconds at a time (while still keeping correct time).
How long will an Eco-Drive watch run after it is fully charged?
If your watch is put away where no light is available to it while in a fully charged state, depending on the model, it will run for from 45 days to 5 years.
How can the Eco-Drive watch be recharged?
Besides sunlight, it can be safely charged by exposing it to a fluorescent desk lamp, with the dial (face) up and within about 8 inches or an incandescent lamp (regular light bulb) no closer than 20 inches. Never use a halogen lamp since the heat generated by it can cause damage to your watch. The most efficient and the quickest is in direct bright sunlight (not windowsill) and never on the dashboard of a car.

This model has been around a while, and I bought one over 20 years ago.
Routine wear and immersion in water (salt, fresh and pool) has done nothing except remove the No-Deco limits table printed on the strap - and if you're a diver you'd not want to be relying on that anyway.
Despite much use there are no scratches on the face or the body of the watch, the strap is still strong with no significant signs of wear and the uni-direction bezel works like new. The hands are still strongly luminous, and it still keeps god time, although it did need a service 10 years ago...
I don't have very big wrists, but this watch doesn't look big on me - even though it is pretty chunky, and can't really be worn under work shirts.
I really can't recommend this watch strongly enough - if you need a 'timeless' divers-style watch - buy this - it'll outlast you!
The only down side is that the day/date text is a bit small and finely printed - so isn't always so easy to read.

The watch arrived quickly and with no faults. The automatic mechanism is brilliant. I'm only used to quartz watches and this is a welcome change. Very little variation, although not as accurate as a quartz piece. Sturdy construction (much better than my previous Seiko Flightmaster) and the plastic band is quite good. The numbers on the side wear out quickly, but the worn look is nice. I'd recommend it to anyone who would like a first automatic watch but doesn't want to spend much money.

This Citizen Promaster is an automatic 21 jewels self winding watch with a mineral crystal glass. It has an 8 o'clock crown, so not to rub on a diving suit but it means it also will not rub your skin.
It's very well built and it looks great although this is a matter of taste. To me, this is the most beautiful divers watch I know. I like it even better than the Omegas or Rolex Submariners.
Some people complain about the band and I was surprised how comfortable it is after receiving mine. It has a velvet-like feel to it and the side that comes in contact with your skin has what seams to be a silicone coating that makes it especially comfortable.
The watches movement is a Miyota 8203, which is regarded as highly reliable and accurate for a mechanical watch. The good thing about being mechanical is that you don't have to open it to change batteries and lose a little bit of imperviousness to water each time you do. Some may argue that the new solar powered watches are more practical and I won't argue with that, but this is what a watch has been form many decades. And being a 21 jewels movement, it doesn't get much better than this.
The big competitor for this watch is the Seiko SKXOO7 and several reviews can't agree on which one is better. In my opinion, two facts tip the scale for the Citizen: it costs a lot less and you can wind it by hand and that means you don't have to wear it everyday or let it stop. On the subjective side, I think the Citizen also looks better and wears on the wrist a lot better too, being not so tall as the Seiko.
The luminescence is great, very bright for 4 or 5 hours in the dark.
As far as I know, this watch is no longer on the Citizen catalogue, so I believe these are the last new units for sale. It's a classic watch, higly regarded by collectors, so I think this is also a good investment, I bet it's going to be worth something 10 years from now.
What else can I say... get one while you can, you just can't go wrong with this one!

Fantastic watch - highly recommended
For me, watches need to do three things:

2. Be hard-wearing and reliable;
3. Look good.
