  • The field watch is the SUV of timepieces, purpose-built for adventure and able to withstand the toughest of situations, all while showing off its good looks. Cut to the Promaster Tough, an elevated field watch that’s powered by any light with Eco-Drive and made from Super Titanium, so it's powerful enough to perform on land in the rigors of any outdoors adventure or rise to the occasion as a stylish timepiece accessory.
    On this episode of The Watch Out, Bradley Hasemeyer unboxes, talks specs, and gets hands-on with the Promaster Tough to explore its 41mm case and bracelet made from Super Titanium, which is 5x stronger than stainless steel and 40% lighter, and talks about the spherical sapphire crystal, and the most unique element, the monocoque case.
    What do you think about the new Promaster Tough? Will this be your new hiking partner? We'd love to know in the comments below!

    I bought one during a black Friday sale Citizen was having. Been wearing it for about six weeks. They have been improving this watch for over 20 years. Most recently the changed the numerals on the dial, added drilled lugs and improved the clasp. The most comfortable watch on a bracelet I have. Crazy lightweight and a great shade of green. Anti magnetic, waterproof, shock resistant. Just leave it in the sun for 4-5 hours and your good to go for about 15 years. Super legible day or night.

      Monocoque case construction. There is no case back. Everything is inserted/removed from the crystal side. You simply send the watch to the official Citizen Repair Center in 20-25 years for a new power capacitor.

      The UK version much more elegant plus WR of 300M versus 200M on this dog. Less expensive too. Once again Citizen USA screws it’s customers. This watch design-wise, is a dog. And the sctick in this video every bit matches the design of the watch. 🤡

    Why don't the second hands align with the dial markers? Seems like terrible QC on an otherwise brilliant looking watch.

    • @efreutel
      @efreutel 2 місяці тому

      This watch has a deliberately distorted single dome dial. That, plus parallax error from the camera makes it impossible to tell if the seconds hand is centering. The better version of this watch not sold in the USA has automatic needle correction. Watch checks itself and realigns hands and second hand as needed to keep them centered to the indices…

    • @efreutel
      @efreutel 2 місяці тому

      What we are really seeing here is an inferior model that Citizen USA jacks up for more money than the superior, flatter, more elegant and 300 meter water resistance - tougher- watch which you have to locate overseas - at a better price.

    @MrGrigs681 8 місяців тому +3

    I love the look of this watch but the monocoque case is a big negative for me. Rechargeable batteries do not last forever and when this one loses too much capacity to be reliable it will be a job to get it replaced. I just recently replaced the one in my 2009 Citizen Chandler and it was a $25 / 5 min job.

    Nope. Citizen missed the mark on this one. I was so excited about this one because I love field watches, titanium, and the size seemed right for me. But I tried one on recently and it was so disappointing. I’ve owned the Promaster Tough with the monocoque case and also a JDM Promaster Mont-Bell. This was nothing like those. Both watches were thin. This one was way too thick. And what the heck is up with the pricing?? My Mont-Bell was around the same price, titanium, sapphire crystal, but it was also radio controlled. This one is just a basic Eco-Drive.

    Citizen USA - maybe you should spend less money on shtick and more effort on bringing in the superior Citizen models which you choose not to import to the USA. I have countless far superior Citizen models - current models- which you refuse to carry. Instead you import dog models which you sell for vastly inflated prices. Your business model sucks.

      @shutterlag192 10 місяців тому +1

      Partly agree but they know that watches are already a completely unnecessary expense and therefore an inherently luxury consumer mindset. It’s essentially a worthless item that people just really want so they can put any price people will pay on it. That said I kinda want one. 😂

      Keep in mind the entire watch , bracelet and clasp is made out of hardened titanium. The list price is 575 but I got mine for $430. Accurate within + - half a second a day. Many people say theirs has been running for 15-20 years with no battery or sevice. Anti magnetic, shock proof, waterproof.

    Once again Citizen USA screws it’s customers. They refuse to distribute the thinner monocoque version of this watch. Titanium, 12mm thin, 40 mm, flat sapphire crystal and has much better WR : 300mm which is 150% better than the 200mm WR on this chunky mutt. You cannot purchase the better model in the United States. Citizen USA takes an inferior design and sell it for more money than the superior watch they refuse to sell to you. Way to go Citizen USA!!
