I have got the orange dial version for two weeks and so far so good. It comes with a silicone rubber strap with titanium buckle. Seconds hand is bang on aligned to the markers. I tried the bezel and to me doesn't feel loose at all. The titanium is super light!
my first supertitanium, i m honest to say i m not fallen in love with this watch because i prefer ''unusual designs'' with a lot of personality (like ecozilla, seiko tuna, mforce by orient, etc etc) i bought this only because a super discount but really it s a well made watch, comfortable, light, legible dial, accurate, resistant, the crown is small but easy to grip/open/close, the bezel is quiet and sweet but ''strong'' and does not turn alone. A 100% classic and durable daily watch for every moment
Thanks for this review. Different approach from a lot of the other reviews of this watch, but it's straightforward, and I like the content. One correction would be that this watch does have Super Titanium coating, so it should be several times harder than steel. Regardless, even though I've been intrigued by this watch for months, I tried it out at Macy's a few weeks ago and the three things that are making it hard for me to justify are 1. the small crown that barely has any crown pop or threads to screw down into 2. the loose 60 click bezel and 3. the lack of a sapphire crystal. Despite the ISO rating, this doesn't feel like a tool watch. The Citizen BN0150/0151(also a ProMaster diver, which I own) runs the same movement, has a better feeling bezel, and a much more secure crown than this. Those often go for way less than this and are a better diver's watch. And yet, I'm still watching this video trying to justify buying this watch, aside from the fact that it's titanium. Ha!
Thanks for the feedback! I have another Citizen with their "Super Titanium" treatment (the Brycen chronograph BL5558-58L) and based on my experience with it, it readily picks of scratches and scuff, at roughly the same rate as a typical stainless steel watch dive watch on a steel band in this price range (such as a Seiko SKX/SPRD or Orient Kamasu). It did occur to me after I posted the video that I forgot to play with crown. Since the movement does not require any winding, it's not surprising that the screw-down action of the crown is not very satisfying. In any event though, Citizen makes a rock-solid movement and well proportioned watch designs, so I wouldn't be afraid at all to add another to my collection in time. Thanks for watching my video!
I was considering this watch but there just aren't enough things special about it. The small crown and only 60 click bezel also set this watch back I think. If it was closer to 41mm case size I would have also liked it more - thanks for the video
@@e28forever30 i don't own this particular watch, but it doesn't matter. The quartz average is +-15 seconds/month, and Citizen doesn't promise anything different. I happen to have a different Citizen that loses 1 second per month, which is obviously great, but everyone's experience will be different.
@@LittleBigPoet I owned a BN0150 with the E168 basic Eco Drive movement. It never deviated more than 1 second a month. Also owned a 1000€ Tissot T Touch, which deviated 15 seconds in 3 weeks. Swiss quality..
Loving the promaster range. Been really looking into the range and there are some super cool watches!
Very nice and light. I’m a fan of citizen
Love the understated design, build quality and accuracy. My favorite watch.

Do not like Titanium,I prefer 316L SS for watch.
This is a great watch for the price.
Thats a stunner for sure

What advantages does 120 clicks give you over 60?
if 40mm would be jackpot
Nice 👍😎
Bracelet is with push pins?
It's similar to Seiko ska371p1 Kinetic Diver, incredible accuracy on par with satellite or atomic clock, only gains 1 sec a year.
No it isn't, why are you lying? Accuracy is the standard quartz +-15 seconds per month.
@@LittleBigPoet
Do you own one?
To my experience, this movement is very accurate.

Is it anti-scratch glass?
No.
Can somebody tell me the size of the cristal in order to buy a protective screen for the watch???
Check Amazon - Vaxson Pack of 3 Screen Protectors Compatible with Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Diver
i have measured right now with the caliber, looks like 31mm but i always prefer to buy a -1mm screen protector for an easy application.
