This is really promising as your setting won’t move around as you soar through the water.Īll indices and hands are large and very legible, which is ideal for underwater reading, even with murky conditions. The bezel rotates counterclockwise, and it’s the most sturdy bezel of any watch I’ve personally tried. I love the look of the case: plenty of chamfers around the dial and crown to give it a technical, but not too complicated style. The crown on this timepiece has a pleasing shape and has the stainless guards that dive watches are known for. Theoretically, they can last forever if properly cared for, but I’ve never met anyone who owns a Citizen and has also lived forever. I’m curious to see how long the movement lasts, though I’ve heard of people using their Eco Drive watches for 20+ years. So long as I expose it to sunlight every so often (or just leave it in a room that gets a little light every now and again), the hands will keep on ticking. This timepiece runs on an Eco Drive movement (same as the other two pieces I picked up), which means that I never have to change the battery. 200m is exceptional, and the kind of thing you want if you’re going diving. For most purposes 100m of resistance is plenty, and more than most people will ever need. Speaking of getting into the water, the Promaster Diver is rated up to 200m depth of water resistance. I’m super excited to get into the water with this beast. My plans were pushed back due to a certain global pandemic, but with summer here, it’s dive time and my classes are scheduled.

I picked the Promaster Diver up because I have plans to learn how to scuba dive. If you have a smaller wrist, my favorite diver under $1,000 right now is the highly versatile Baltic Aquascaphe:
Dudes with beefier wrists do well with timepieces between 44mm and up to 48mm, but I think anything larger than 48mm just looks more like a Flavor-Flav necklace than a watch. And it pushes the limit even for guys with average sized wrists like myself. This is a bulky boy, measuring in with a 45mm case diameter and weighing 163g (which is four times heavier than the Chandler Eco Drive).īecause of its size, I don’t recommend this watch for anyone with a smaller wrist. The Citizen Promaster Diver has been on my wishlist for quite a while, and I’m excited to finally get one on my wrist. I’m more of a tool-watch guy, and that’s the direction I went with. One thing I missed is that Citizen has a robust range of dressier watches, with simpler dials and more refined bands. But I went ahead and picked out three that I’ve personally heard the most about. It’s not easy choosing three watches from a brand with as many iconic designs as Citizen.
