  • Citizen Promaster Diver Solar powered dive watches rated to 200M. All the details are covered: aesthetics, waterproofness, accuracy, toughness, solar technology, comfort, quality, noise, legibility, bezel preciseness, hand accuracy, SAWC, illumination, and more. This version is probably not my favorite in the series and I'll show you why. But you may love it, if so use the links below to support TNP!

    I got into collecting G-Shocks thinking it would be fun. Nothing could have prepared me for how deep and expensive that rabbit hole is.

      Honestly you didnt choose a horribly expensive hole to dive in. In the grand scheme of watches Gshock is a high value relatively inexpensive brand.

    you just compared a Citizen ISO-certified dive watch to a diver-styled fashion Seiko watch whose bezel doesn't even rotate... i do get your point, but still!

    I have the grey dial/bezel version of this Promaster.....I much prefer it over the blue dial version. The lume on this watch is incredible, and the bezel is a perfect size and rotates quite smoothly. Hard to beat this watch for the price.

    Purchased my first Citizen Eco-Drive about a year ago and really like it. I am a little spoiled right now, in the Tag Heuer world right now. I have Invicta's, Sterling's, Tags, Citizens, Android, and 1 Breitling. Over all... watches are just fun and cool. I have enjoyed many over the years!

    You've cost me a LOT of money this year Nut'n. I've always been a knife guy. About six years ago I had massive epiphany that I was an American and didn't own any guns! I fixed that pretty quickly and found your channel in the process. I appreciate your approach to value and common sense. I have learned how to shape my own opinions about gear and what works for me and what doesn't.
    Then all of a sudden, its watches. A gun guy is spending so much time talking about watches? I didn't get it. When I started seeing the Casio ABC watch reviews I freaked ojy and HAD to have one. It took me about a yearnto find the one I wanted...Analog/digital display, not too big, version 3 module...I ended up with the PRG 650 Y. Then I started watching some other watch channels and ended up with a couple of sweet little Seiko 5s, then I needed a dress watch. Now I own a Citizen with a slide rule bezel and two Tissot automatics. Its getting really bad. I bought my wife a couple of nice ones hoping she would get on board...she just doesn't get it.
    Anyway...I love the WRVs. Keep them coming. Your philosophy vids are my favorites and I typically find that we are on exactly the same page.
    So thanks for all your work and your integrity. I hope someday you find yourself in Minnesota and gear check me.
    Ruger SR9C in a Winthrop leather belt slide. Spare mag offhand side back pocket in a Remora mag pouch. Gerber Dime light duty multitool. Olight M1X. CRKT M21 dual flipper. And YES I ROCK A FANNY PACK! (but usually left in the car)
    Its more of a convenience thing...not a trauma kit. Just some band aids, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment, Advil/Tylenol, small hemostat, etc. Duct tape, hickey tape, zip ties, small wire nuts, paper clips, super glue, small pick tool, wd40 pen, spare flashlight (4sevens preon), spare batteries, spare pocketknife, pen and sharpie, 25' blaze orange paracord, ferrorod/striker, mylar blanket, signal mirror, compass, classic leatherman, zippo lighter, and a bandana. All in a Mountainsmith Knockabout.
    Not a fanboy, just a fan.

    I have followed nutnfancy gun fun for years, just noticed the watch videos. I am also an amateur watch fan and I have a small approx 20 (mainly swiss) watch collection. I personally love the design and look of the Citizen diver. I don't care for the look of that Seiko with the rorange band. I am ready for a daily watch I don't constantly have to wind by hand. I want the style to emulate my automatic dive style watches I love the look of. I liked the Casio.

Had this watch for less the 24 hours and a pin in the band fell out. Needless to say couldn’t take it to Jamaica with me cause I was leaving the next day. Came home a week later told the store what happened they told me to hold onto it they will order me a new one. When it came in I picked it up and again less then 24 hours later the same thing happened pin fell out of band and that was it done with the watch
