Citizen Promaster Divers Blue BN0151-09L

Relógio lindo demais

Purchased this product almost a month ago. At first the packing. It was a huge box wrapped by some protective layer. Inside that box was lying a scuba tank which is worth seeing. Inside that tank, was the watch. Next the watch. You will be amazed to see the beauty of it. The polished stainless steel case, the glossy crown with the Promaster emblem in it, the highly glossy outline of the index markers will mesmerize you. The hands are beautiful with the hour hand outlined by glossy stainless steel, minute hand with vibrant orange outline, and the second hand is a thin white hand with a lume at the tip. The hour & minute hands are wide enough to see the time at any lighting condition. The dial is the deep navy blue colour (my favourite colour) on which the index marks & the hands really pop out. The bezel is also of deep navy blue colour. The strap is also navy blue colour which you may change if you donot like rubber strap. Now come to the time keeping capability of the watch. Its running 2 seconds late after 24 days. That means -3 seconds per month which is highly satisfied as you have to adjust time once in a year. Next the charging. The charging is quite fast. I opened the packing at night & after some exposure to the table lamp, it started running & I was amazed to see it running when I woke up in the morning though in a 2 seconds interval. After exposing it beside the window after about 2 hours, it began to tick in 1 second interval. Now the most striking feature of this watch - lume. Its awesome. You cannot understand this feature at the daytime, but at night, even in the middle of night, after 5 hours of last exposure to light, you can clearly see the glowing hands & markers with the naked eye (generally i use specs for reading & writing but to see timing in this watch, I donot use specs, it is so prominent). I was searching such feature in a watch for a long time & it is completely fulfilled by this watch. I really love it. Now the cons. The date window is really small though you can somehow manage to see it. the day is missing. The dial is quite large for small to medium wrists. The strap is of rubber. Final verdict : Every watch in this world has some pros & cons. It has also some. But despite it's cons, you should go for this watch without any hesitation as the appearance of the watch with deep navy blue dial & luminous hands & markers is great, the visibility of the hands is extraordinary, the lume is amazing with about -3 seconds variation per month. Its a must have watch. Addition after 7 months : it is running 8 secs late i.e., almost 1 sec per month. excellent.

Picked up the blue version after stalking it for some time. Unfortunately the initial ordering experience was disappointing - the watch arrived in a bog standard Citizen cardboard box, not the scuba oxygen tank as pictured in the item description. That is not a make or break ( you don't wear the box... ) but it was disappointing. A nice surprise was the band did not have the decompression table as pictured -- something I didn't like. The bigger issue was that the second hand hit none of the markers on the top half of the watch. I asked for a replacement hoping I'd get one with a better second alignment. Amazon shipped the replacement at Prime speed so I had in 48 hours. Alas, the replacement came in the same generic box, but the second hand aligned to my expectation. I noticed the UPC on the box said the part number followed by "Amazon" so perhaps this box is now standard. As the watch itself, it wears smaller than its 43mm spec width, primarily since the bezel is inset a bit from the edge. Unlike other commenters I like the band -- it is tacky enough to allow me to wear it loose and not have it flop around on my wrist. The lume is pretty impressive, but don't expect all night performance. The bezel pip is illuminated with a slightly greener blue colour than the markers. 60 click bezel is smooth and has very little backplay, The screw down crown is smooth and easy to engage even with the crown guards. The crown pull out stops are close together but easy to navigate - you only will be setting the date ( stop 1 ) on non 31 day months and maybe correcting the time at the same point. Not a lot of things to set. I like the fact the eco-drive will mean that the watch won't need to be opened for 10 years or so. The dial colour is a bit bland ( especially compared to a blue Orient Ray II I own, not a fair comparison, I know ) but I suspect that has to do with the eco-drive surface - you certainly wouldn't know this was an eco-drive if the label didn't tell you so. Perhaps you should check out the black version if you're on the fence about the blue. In summary after a couple of initial disappointments this is spiffy watch that I like more and more as I wear it.

Honestly, I love this watch for several reasons but I’ll get into that in a sec… A quick precursor- I am into watches, but I am not a typical “watch collector guy” who wants or needs to buy and collect a ton of watches. I want one or two reliable durable watches that I enjoy, mainly one for everyday wear and a fitness watch for tracking my steps/runs when I want to do so. My first couple of watches were a Casio duro dive watch and a g shock. Although these are great watches for the price, I really wanted a little bit nicer watch to wear daily that would last me a long time. For this reason I didn’t mind spending a bit more on a watch than I previously had. I was considering a seiko for a long time, specifically a seiko samurai. I know seiko watches are tagged as affordable starter watches, but I still didn’t feel like spending upwards of 400-500 dollars on a watch (this didn’t feel like a wise use of my money, but that’s just my opinion). I almost bought a seiko samurai for around $470 on Amazon but could not get myself to drop that amount of money. Before this citizen dive watch, I had thought automatic was always the way to go, but what I loved about my Casio duro was that if I left it off for a couple of days, when I put it on, I didn’t need to reset the time because it didn’t need to be moved or winded. It was simply a grab and go watch and I loved that. I finally stumbled across this citizen diver (I previously was not attracted to most of the citizen watches I had seen). The thing that first stuck out to me about this citizen diver was the design and the price point. Around $240 dollars for a durable ISO certified tool dive watch that didn’t need to be worn constantly to keep time. Not only that, I really liked the durable look and appeal. I then saw that it was eco drive which means that it draws power from light, thus, I never would have to really mess with changing the time (minus adjusting date from time to time). After considering my options, and reading a lot of reviews of people who have had the watch for YEARS and still love it, I was sold. A durable tool dive watch that is powered by light and has good loom and design. Oh yes and the loom is pretty great on this watch too. I have owned this watch for about a week I really like it! I tend to like a smidge bigger size of watch so at first I thought it looked a little small. I have worn it for a while now and this is not an issue. It’s an all around good sized watch (not too big, not too small) I got the blue version which I think looks really nice. If you, like me, don’t want to spend A TON of money on a watch but are willing to fork out a bit of moolah for quality, want reliability, durability, accurate time keeping, good design, great loom, and nothing too flashy, then this is a great option. 9.5/10 (I wish it was a SMIDGE bigger, but it is still a great size for my liking)

Tengo muchos relojes automáticos pero andaba buscando uno de quarzo. Tenia un reloj Orient muy parecido a este similar al Mako 2. Compre este para ver si lo podía suplir. En calidad supero al Orient un 100%. Lo único que no me agrado es el bezel que es de 60 clicks y no se siente como los del seiko, pero te aseguro que no es malo solo no se siente como un Seiko. El dial es de excelente calidad mejor que los skx007/009 . Las manecillas excelente. El Lume súper brillante y en dos tonos. El brillo del dial es azul y el brillo del bezel es verde me gusto ese detalle de dos colores. Los acabados del case son excelentes. Otra cosa que no me agrado es que la tapa requiere una llave especial para cambiar la batería, aun que este reloj tiene una batería recargable así que no creo que sea problema en unos años resalto que esto por que rara vez dejo que le metan mano a mis relojes por lo general y mientras se pueda yo los reparo y les doy servicio. Calculo que la vida de la batería seria unos 6 años por experiencia. La fecha me gusto el lugar y el tamaño aun que para una persona que utilice lentes pueda ser algo chico. Por ultimo lo compre en oferta y es lo que mas me gusto. 19/Jun/2018 Se puede abrir la tapa trasera con llave de 2 pines aun que me decepciono ver la maquina tan pequeña que lleva dentro. Espero sea duradera. Hasta ahorita el reloj sin problemas. Queria un reloj de quarzo aunque soy mas de automático pero siempre se requieren algunos de quarzo.
