It’s a shiterrrrrrrrr

Now a days every diver has a diving computer on their wrest, diving watches are relics , no one really using dive charts anymore especially when it comes to recreational diving . Personally , additionally to my diving computer , i like to have a spare diving watch on my other wrest that has an extra compass as a backup . But in general this is an awesome tough watch 😍

Have a promaster tough that I like. Might add this one to the collection. Thanks for your review.

This is the ultimate grab-and-go watch. It's as close to zero maintenance as possible; the only time you need to do anything is to adjust the date window occasionally. It's a legitimate, ISO-certified dive watch, and it looks really cool (I'm partial to the blue version). Eco-Drive makes perfect sense on a dive watch; never having to open the case greatly reduces the potential for a leak. As for pricing, if you're really diligent, you can sometimes get these for well under $175 (like I did). This gets the most wrist time of any watch in my collection.

Make a 40-42mm eco bishes thanks

Nice watch. I bought my AT 12 years ago, the first version, blue sunburst dial, 39 mm. Great watch and no problem going in the water.

Subscribed ! Love the watch and content man, thanks!

Great watch have four of them.

Beautiful watch

I like it! Just purchased one on Amazon for $244.

Excellent honest review. Probably the best review for the Formex Reef as am considering buying the Reef 39mm. Thanks for mentioning about the thickness at the clasp on the rubber strap. Was considering buying one for my Formex Essence so I don’t think I’ll bother now.

Did you sell your extra links?

I'm an Automatic Seiko guy,and I want one. I bought an auto versionfrom a pawn shop in Enterprise,AL for 92,and got a 5$ discount. No box,no papers. Only drawback is not many colorways. I dont know what Citizen was trying to do with the dial,but they made one look like a st8 up booty hole. I don't want that one.

Thanks great review!

Thanks for this review. As a retired Submariner I would love to have a watch like this. I'm Enlisted so the Dolphins are the right color but I think some Officers would have a problem with the Silver color Dolphins. Kinda wish there was some kind of representation of Submarines on the dial.

I managed to snag a minty pre owned blue one yesterday. No scratches on bezel or glass and for £70

Woooo

Had my BNO 150 for almost 4 months. I switched out the rubber/neoprene/plastic band for a stainless bracelet. Bracelets specifically made for this model, 150 & 151 can be bought at Long Island Watch. I got the BRAC35 (oyster) style and it matches up perfectly. It really dresses up the watch making it wearable for almost any occasion and ITS WAY MORE COMFORTABLE. Love the watch even more now.

Why is the name Formex “off putting”, but Rolex or Timex are not an issue?

I just cut the rubber strap so it is not so thick at the clasp.

I own a lot of watches, including a few divers. My daily driver is this watch ( blue dial). I live in, and am a native of, South Florida. I spend a lot of time in the ocean ( paddle boarding, snorkeling, surfing and yes....diving). I love this watch for so many reasons: 1.Accuracy. It loses TWO seconds per MONTH. 2. Lume. It's an absolute torch. And it blue lume,which I love. 3. Build quality. This thing is a tank. 4. Looks. Not a bad looking watch at all. 5. Value. You get a whole lot of watch for around two hundred dollars.

BADASS watch. Thinking about getting it.

Can anyone tell me how to change the time on it

You claim to be a diver yet have no idea what NDL is.

I have the same watch and I absolutely love it! Every time I wear it, when I’m driving and the sun hits it right, the beauty of the watch is quite mesmerizing. Love the fit of it and you can just easily dress it up or down and it works with any outfit possible. I even wear it with my scrubs at work and its just fits. I’m glad you’re enjoying this watch just as much as I am! 😊

Is the lack of a sapphire crystal a deal breaker?

Is this 38 or 41?

Great review 👍

What is the role of the bezel ?

Really? For that price, on that watch, anyone would really expect the bracelet to have a clasp with micro-adjustment. That's the minimum requirement. Although the butterfly clasp on this Omega is not as annoying and unreasonable as, for example, on the Longines Conquest.

Beautiful watch!

Please, what do you think of the silicone bracelet for the watch? Did you experience any complaint or corrosion? Is the silicone bracelet as practical and can handle the daily lifestyle as the metal bracelet?

I like the small scuba tank, and the watch of course :-) Mine is a titanium pro-master diver but didn't come with the tank

So what brought me here is the fact that i just ordered this model today.

Stephen excellent video. Lume question. How long do you charge up the lume before you dive? How long does it normally last? Love the Barton straps also!

Hands are to small

The rubber strap: A Q-Tip and store bought rubbing alcohol will remove the N.D. limit text. It does not hurt the rubber.

Good heads up on the Barton straps,, 👍👍👍also,, I think the numbers printed on the strap make it look like a kids watch,, 🤣,, if I get one, I'll be trying to remove the printing straight away,, great video btw..

This is great honest non-sponsored review. No one else seems to talk about the thickness of the rubber but you do and yeah it's so obviously something I would not want under my wrist. Thanks for the heads up on the Barton strap. I think I'll get one of those. I recently bought the Reef GMT and since that's bidirectional it doesn't have the click-spring below the bezel to worry about losing. It means that if I put a dive bezel on it would be bidirectional too (unless i asked them for the click-spring ring which might fit as the case looks the same) but I just use dive bezels for timing poached eggs, timing nachos in the oven, or seeing how long my girlfriend has been in the shower. The only thing I'd like to see them do is have an embossed crown rather than etched.

I bought this watch 5 years ago based on the review from Fratello Watches and love it. I had the regular B-42 cosmonaut for years but love the Monolith's watch face (no numbers on the dial). It also kind of reminded me of a PVD Kobold Phantom at the time, which influenced my purchase decision. Only improvement I can think/suggest is if Fortis used this watch face for their Mars collection and used the orange/vintage lume color. Would be my perfect tool watch. The PVD bracelet color is ever so slightly mismatched with the case so it got replaced 5 years ago with a rubber strap + deployant clasp. You have to really look to see the color mismatch but it bothered me then. A few days ago (5 years later), I haven't worn the watch much in years so I decided to try the bracelet again. Feels like a new watch and PVD mismatch doesn't bother me anymore.

I this in 38mm. Kinda wish is was the blue or green dial. Great watch though

Fantastic watch, enjoy the experience 😊

Never have had a problem changing bezels, these are excellent watches, very versatile

I really like Seiko for value, but honestly, I think Citizen is the best overall value of any watch. And I like Citizen designs slightly better than Seiko's. Nice video!

It's "No decompression limits" not "Navy dive limits".

About how long will the lume stay for? And is it hard to see the hands on some angles?

What a great brand

Практичность, это хорошо. Но, дизайн - шайба. Тем, кто не ныряет часто, они, наверное, не понравятся

This is such a nice looking watch. I have used mine with some elastic straps such as Erika's originals and The Watch Steward and it looks awesome. I don't see many of these around.

Beginner? More of an end watch for me. There comes a time in life you want a hassle free watch. That watch used to be Seiko. Now it's Citizen or Casio.
