I love that Citizen and Orient are greatly filling the affordable range void Seiko left.
Seiko is very much affordable for what you get. Don't compare this $250 Citizen to $2000 Seikos, completely different category.
@@mszigetihu The fuck are you talking about?
@@mszigetihu I think he was comparing it to the $300-$500 dollar Seikos. The high end Seikos can hardly be considered "affordable" for most people.
Probably he was referring to the retired skx
Citizen is smart. For 62MAS enjoyer like me but unwilling to pay the homage tax that Seiko set, this watch has an interesting proposition.
That’s a beautiful watch at a very reasonable price. Citizen never ceases to amaze me. They’ve been a part of my collection for many years.
Damn, this is fast becoming my favourite watch review chanel! Videography on point, information pertinent but with a unique pov that i dont see elsewhere, and a true appreciation for the budget category. Keep it up man!
+1!!!
Uber kind words! Thank you very much!! ❤️

I got the orange version and absolutely love it. It is a little chunky but the looks, lume and case shape is awesome. The 60 click bezel feels amazing!!
Congratulations! Great color pick!
where did you buy it from?
@asadhayat5342 jomashop on the rubber though.
Link to the model please 🙏🙏
Amazing production quality. I wish you have more subscribers. You deserve it, with that kind of work that you put in your videos. And the watch looks really cool!
Your videos are top notch! Cinematography, editing and narration. Great work. And those are cool looking Citizens.
Thank you very much! ❤️
Yes, bad watches need that. Still bo safire glass ...
I have seen tons of watch channels and this one gets right to the point,Excellent and subbed.
Thank you! ❤️
That's a beautiful watch. The dial is mesmerizing. Cheers!
Thanks. I like the interesting and helpful ways that you showcase the very appealing nature of the various alternative options that you can achieve with this great value piece. God bless.
A very poetical way to express it! Thank you very much! ❤️
@@BraveBeaters you’re welcome. And as I thought my comment was merely an assembly of adjectives - it’s nice to know its also perceived as poetic 😉
Tremendous value for money. Love the dial color on this one; reminds me of a 50 year old Seiko DX that I have. Been waiting for someone to bring back that '70's color.
Difficult to justify buying 3k or more divers after this indeed...
Haha! Well said! :)
Touché. 😁
100 correct
Fucking divers. Can anyone make anything else? What a snooze watches have become
It's difficult either way because you can eat all year for that money.
I can afford a 3k watch but refuse to indulge in the stupidity.
Love the Video...very well done...love the watch too... I'm considering buying it after watching this..
Thanks for creating such nice content.😊
That dial looks amazing especially for the price. I’m definitely interested. Thanks for the review.
Cheers! :)
Great job. I bought a Citizen for the first time in many years last week. Solid watches, for sure.
The lighting in the video is top notch, good job.
Thanks for the video. That watch is now under consideration. 😊
Fantastic video, as always, thank you! Both the gold yellow and burnt orange colours of this line are beautiful for sure. This is a fantastic all-round dive tool watch that might have me calling into question whether I keep my green Orient Kamasu...
Another great offering from Citizen. This one with the yellow dial is really nice. I was tempted , but another purchase distracted me from this one for now. Anyway a great watch for the requested price in my opinion.
excellent review.
thank you for sharing.
Love this video. And very good products.
Great video. Impeccable Camera work
Great review. The photography in this guy's reviews is always top quality, so you get a really good idea of how and what the watch looks like on wrist.
For anybody thinking of buying a Citizen Diver, the following feedback may be of use; I have had my Promaster 200m Diver for nearly ten years and it has been subjected to swimming in rivers and seas on a regular basis with no problems and on top of that, no scratches or blemishes on the mineral glass.
Thank you! :)
I agree, the Promasters are super solid divers! Highly recommended!
And once again a bezel that is proud of the crystal, a design touch I love! Protects the crystal a lot.
Spot on fella. I’ve got a Seiko 5 a supposedly field watch with great reviews all over the internet but no one mentions the glass is proud of the bezel which I chipped the edge making a completely and utterly design flaw
I think this might be the nicest Citizen dial I have ever seen. Not usually a fan but....
Same
Likewise, this model is definitely on my radar.
Got one yesterday in blue color, absolutely love the look, on my 7inch wrist
Superb presentation, narration bro 👍
I love it! Casio and Citizen Group watches are the best for me. Practical, reliable, tough, eco-drive, minimal maintenance, well made, and inexpensive. Got the Unite the Blue ProDiver and one of my favorites in my collection. Really want the “fujitsubo” but this is far more obtainable for me this winter. Also they didn’t make the fujitsubo with a black dial and titanium bracelet.
Beautiful piece for sure
Amazing camera work!!
I was just looking at this yellow dialled promaster the other week. Looks great!
Beautiful!
Great video, this is a good looking watch. I love their eco-drive watches. I have an older version of the citizen promaster skyhawk blue angels edition. This year my wife bought me the Citizen Promaster skyhawk CB 0230-81E titanium watch and I love it. She made a good choice. I also like the tsuyosa series,the yellow dial is great. But this diver is on my list now. 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for reviewing obtainable watches
I bought a Doxa 300t on the back of one of your reviews. Best purchase I have made in my watch collecting journey
Congratularions! You can never go wrong with a doxa! I have 3 now :))
Stay tuned! More doxa's are coming up! :)
Hello my friend, only Orient can compete, but the Citizen brand has more appeal, no doubt! Great video as always, always brave!!!
Thank you very much! I agree. For this price range, Orient is a strong competitor, still :)
I like it. What I REALLY like tho is the videography and editing. Really really good - as ever.
Thank you very much! I am trying to improve the experience on the videos, slowly but safe ❤️
@@BraveBeaterscontinuously improving ! Bravo!
Beautiful piece indeed , seems citizen takes place of affordable watches for people where seiko got crazy and left this spot already. My next purchase would be blue color diver.
Really good review and spot on about the color difference hands/indices.
I had the NY0125 the steel with gold bezel. But gold does not match my style. I ordered this with the blue dial, and it looks great. I have seen the titanium NB6021. The blue version has a very glossy, shiny bezel that is a bit off putting.
The NY0129 blue dial looks better in that regard. And it is a nice, unusual blue. You almost made me regret not getting the yellow one. But I feel this watch has a large face and is a bit chunky, so the blue may minimize that aspect. I also already have a Tsuyosa yellow dial.
My biggest gripe is the minute hand that is a little undersized. It should be a little longer and wider. The dial is larger.
Probably this would have looked better 1mm smaller in diameter and thickness. But overall it looks nice.
More style and personality than all these microbrands.
The ratcheting clasp is great. The pin and collar is a bit of a pain to resize. Need to do it in a box, or a very clean desk, as those tiny collars are hard to see and easy to lose.
Definitely the bracelet is worth the extra 30 euros/dollars
Beautiful watch, love the dial. I'd love to see it with a no day date to clean up the dial
great review
Your vedios are top notch! cinematography editing and narration.gteat work
Great video ❤
Looks very nice!!!
I got the NY0129-58L blue dial on bracelet. It’s an excellent watch 👍🏻
Got both the yellow and the orange for total of $384 shipped .
I am over the moon with them, absolutely Seiko slayer (and I love my many Seiko watches)
Where did you buy them? On a bracelet or strap? Which of the 2 you prefer?
Where did you find them for that very low price?
@@romanmichaelhamilton8729 i asked the same question. Jomashop has them, also gioiapura. Probably you can find coupon codes to take 10 or 15% off at Gioia pura and $20 off at Jomashop if you are a first time buyer.
But at that price I saw them with the rubber strap. I think it is better to buy the bracelet version for 30 more.
It depends where you are if they charge sales tax or VAT. SO one may be better than the other depending on your location
Great video! Instant subscriber!
Cheers! :)
Very good review thank you 👍 Im a big Citizen fan and they’ve nailed this one 🎉 Here we go again 😂
Excellent products
Am getting this immediately 😊
I like the watch, but I love the video. Great camera work and very, very good script and presentation.
I was thinking of getting one of these or the new fugu but wound up going with the classic NY0040 along with an aftermarket J bracelet from Long Island Watch. I'm happy with my choice. The NY0040 is getting hard to find now that they don't seem to make it any more.
Fantastic value
This is the first citizen I've seen that I want...just hoping they release them in the UK!
Very nice watch and review! Citizen is for me currently the most inovative brand from Japan.
Citizen is the king of affordable watches, I think they replaced Seiko. Great video, definitely a very cool diver.
Wow, I just came across your channel the other day and find your reviews to be excellent. Phenomenal videograpy with angles that really make the detail pop. Polished presentation with information that I find very useful. Well done! I just ordered this watch in this color and your review helped me decide. Thank you.
Citizen supplies for a big market with this watch, thinking about Seiko5 and Orient mako or Kamasu. This citizen looks very retro which I like. Thanks for the review.
Cheers! :)
Excellent
Ciao ,scusa ,ma la versione con il quadrante arancione ii so che non esiste com il bracciale .... Gli e lo hai messo tu?
I am going to buy the blue one cause of the dial texture that's remind me the sea from above. Perfect image for a diver's watch.
Wow, now that’s a beauty. Just when I was thinking to get a Seiko 5 GMT…
Received this yellow version on bracelet last week. There is kind of big problem with clasp - when I stretch my palm backwards and wrist tendons stretch, the metal piece that folds over the clasp jumps open. Tried it in several ways, it just happens, at least intentionally. So it could happen unintentionally too, like when leaning on a table or against a wall. 2 push button system would have been safer.
EDIT: I found another piece of transparent protection plastic piece on the contact surface of clasp, removed it, and it doesn't open anymore. Keeping this watch on bracelet, creates a feeling of more expensive piece than aftermarket rubber.
Yes! It's good Brave Diver... It's good.
1mm off uuufff truuuuuuue!!!!!
...and bought a yellow polo just like yours. It's fantastic!
Haha! Great color choice for a polo shirt! 💛
Citizen rules ! 💪😎
This will be on the to get list. I just saw them and they are a bit more pricey in the States.
Good video❤
Citizen never fail to make a tool stuff, still I don't have dive auto and that's weird
Haha! That is strange :D
@@Ktrb I have a dive, no, 5 dives, but not Promaster Automatic yet
Excellent review once again on another Citizen win.
I appreciate your videos vey much that take so much work but look effortless.
Love my CitiZen keepers, they are always ready to go.
My retrozilla takes days to gain a second.
Hard to not recommend Citizen first to my non-enthusiast friends and family.
Trying to be brave sir, trying.
Great watch🎉
This watch is a real lovely especially with that yellow and brown colored dial. This would be a top contender if you are looking for a budget dive watch. My only real complaint would be the 50MM lug to lug width which makes it a bit large for someone with a 6 inch wrist.
The more expensive Challenger diver comes with a 9 series Miyota movement, sapphire crystal, and titanium case. Of course that watch costs twice as much. On JomaShop the Challenger diver with titanium bracelet is $549. Which is a bargain compared to many of those more expensive Seiko Diver watches with 6R25 movement.
Is the black dial soild black or gradient like the rest of the range? I've seen conflicting reports online. Thoughts?
It's a beautiful!
Nice video ❤❤
Great watch, I have the blue version with navy tropic strap!
Pretty sure this line of watches was released (2021) prior to the Ti Challenge reissue. First variants of this one were the black/gilt and brown variants.
You are right actually. It was launched before the reissue. But this line with colored dials was surely launched a few weeks ago.
The Blue for me!!! great pieces, wonder if the FUGU with change...
Where did you buy it with the italian day date version?? I can’t find it
Update: after getting mine, as much as I love it, two negatives:
The bezel is too shiny and tall. Hopefully it will dull over time, but it will stay tall.
As cool as the dial is, the citizen logo and other text being the same colour as the dial makes it look a bit cheap. I'd have preferred it to be given a black or silver finish to distinguish it a bit more.
Niggle: mineral glass. Not so much for the scratch potential, more for clarity, as it seems to hide the amazing dial detail at certain angles.
Main Positives:
the spec. A true diver. Fantastic value.
The case. Simple, brilliant shape, defying its size, super wearable. Can't wait to get it on a tropic.
Movement. Miyota 8k series get a lot of side-eye, apparently for being noisy or feeling wobbly. But as this is a rugged dive case, I've not experienced any of that, it's negatives aren't noticeable at all.
Another great review, I like the watch, particularly the colours available, but why did they make the hands so short?
Good video
That's a very beautiful watches
Did you buy the watch with the metal bracelet or did you buy the metal bracelet separately?
Awesome video, about watch i have to say that i'm little bit disapointed that Citizen still on divers using mineral glass.
I have a Tudor Black Bay. I regret spending over 10 times the price of these. Love the Yellow & Orange ones.
A Tudor is a Tudor, a Citizen is a Citizen :D
Tudor has case made by Rolex, movement should be Tudor with that model
What's the rotor noise like given this has a Miyota movement?
Love it, I would buy one in the Yellow Gold and Bracelet, but it fails my case thickness limit of 12.5mm. I really like the superior classic look does it for me. Sadly the case thinknes kills and instant sale.
I seriously considered getting this yellow watch. Still have a small itch for it....but I was able to get the blue dial (still quite a nice dial) for $100 below the cost of the yellow color. The price won me over. But that yellow dial really is nice.
I got the blue as well. The blue bezel insert looks better than the Fujitsubo’s, which is too shiny. This video almost made me regret not getting the yellow. But it is a bit of a chunky, large watch, and the yellow would have highlighted that. The blue makes it a little more understated, it minimizes the dimensions.
But hard to tell until you see it in person
Why 50mm lug to lug. 😢 Really wanted this until I heard that
@@keefw361@keithw361 the lugs curve and follow the wrist shape. So it appears smaller than a flat case back watch.
If it was 1 or 2mm smaller in every dimension, had slightly larger minute hand and sapphire it would be perfect.
But I got the blue one with bracelet for $225. It is great.
@@stefpix it looks fantastic for the money! Looks 3x times the price
Nice video
Beautiful dial. I personally like green one. By the way, thanks to the review, now i know this Citizen little to big for me.
Hi fantastic review as always. Can you please let us know where you got the watch from as I’m looking to get hold of one in the UK. Thanks again 👍
I’m happy you did a review on this watch. I bought the orange dial recently and was surprised with it’s quality for the price!
Congrats! Orange is super appealing as well, I changed my mind because I've seen the yellow one on the bracelet version.
Ooh thats nice
I LOVE the dial color, makes me wonder what other watches have that mustard/matte gold color
Union Glashutte Noramis diver :)
Your videos are making the watches look so yummy
Hahah! Usually I review yummy watches! :D thank you!
Would you consider this a good first watch to start my collection or do you recommend something more simple to look after like a quartz
Seiko SNK809 was the gateway model into the hobby for many of us I suspect :-) Cheap, great dial and an exhibition caseback so you can see what's going on. If you want to spend more the Certina 38mm DS Action diver is stunningly nice for the money. Comes in steel or titanium.
A good first watch is the one you like.
For sure! It's a super solid starter! :)
Which bracelet is this?
Very nice, but the yellow is the pick of the bunch for sure. I would like sapphire crystal at this price.
I was between yellow and orange. Due to straps availability. But still, yellow won :)
100 - 150 euros more fore sapphire chyistal and it will be great
I like it, mordo 😃
I have lots of Seikos, and a few Citizens. I've been looking for a proper 200m diver that won't cost me a fortune.
Saw a 40mm version of this with Gold Bezel here in the UK discounted to £279 at an official dealer.
What's the difference between the various ny100 series..
Thanks for the review - I just picked this up on a black friday sale ! I'm in the UK and via a seller in Paris, this was around £180, what a bargain.
I didn't get the aqualung box unfortunately, so that could be specific to each reseller? Great channel, have been watching for years but only just subbed
