Promaster Diver Men's Solar Watch with Rubber Strap

I have a few Citizen Eco-Drive watches, of which this is one. Never having to replace the battery is a major advantage and reduces the servicing involved in what is an essential piece of diving safety equipment. If your diving computer suddenly stops working, you can still dive using your watch and your diving tables to plan you future dives - so the remaining dives won't be lost. This is an excellent divers watch (and looks the part). It's bigger and thicker than a traditional watch, but that's because of the functionality of offering a 200 m depth, so ay basic scuba diving is covered. The dial is large enough to be easily seen and the luminosity of the bezel marker, the hands and the hour markers is excellent in darker environments (basically diving in England!) But make sure you keep it charged, which is simply by exposing it to / using it in the light (any light). If it's stored in a box for long periods between use, you will need to re-charge it in order to use it. It keeps excellent time and on holidays I never take it off (and it looks the part). All in all a great watch for the money.

**2022 update**. Still an amazing watch in my collection. Still runs like a dream. I will still say the original strap is awful, so buy something else. Incredible watch! **2023 update** still incredible. When I got married, I chose to wear this watch! But yes, with a different strap. **2025 update"* once again, still incredible. Runs flawlessly. As the title suggest, the strap for the watch isn't very good but my god is the watch itself great. I was looking for something else to swap out from my SKX007 and came across this. Everything is easy to read on the face, the lume is the best I've ever come across, beating the skx007 in my opinion. The 60 click bezel feels incredibly sturdy and feels nice to move. The hands themselves look great and really stand out, making it easy to read. On top of all of this it's an Eco-drive, so it's environmentally friendly & charges via sunlight with a 6 month reserve. It's an official watch as I registered the warranty online with the instructions provided, just thought I'd add it that for buyers concerned about it's legitimacy. To be honest with you I'm pretty astounded it's this cheap. With regards to the strap, I personally replaced it with a 20mm NATO and I mean, with that size there's so many different options on amazon. Should you pick this up if you're a watch collector or simply want something long lasting and functioning with out needing battery changes? Yes! I hope this helps. Happy watch shopping 😊 Update: *February 2019* The watch is still incredible. In a month I've seen it, in total, - 5 seconds slow over the course of the ENTIRE MONTH. It's incredible. Still going strong, still brand new. I've swapped out the Nato for a Gekota stainless Steel strap and it just looks so good. Honestly, if you want a solar watch, this really is it. I still can't get over how cheap it still is, considering I got this back in May of 2018. Update: *September 2019* Again, the watch is still in my collection and still only - 5 seconds per month. I'm not sure if I got extremely lucky with mine, but it's incredible. Still in warranty, still running, still looking beautiful. I see now the price has gone up since I purchased it, and honestly, it's worth the current price (over £200) I paid £150 for it way back when. It's an excellent watch. It's been diving, in the pool, hiking, even to the alpes. Still runs amazing.

Now let's see ... quartz accuracy - check. No battery required - check (months of power-reserve). Waterproof - check, to 200m, and being a 'Divers', it's factory-tested in a pressure-tank to 20% above claim. Easy to read - check, especially with minute hand different colour to hour hand. Excellent build quality, comfortable, looks great (each to their own), decent lume (I can read mine after 8 hours total darkness). Strap? - Strong and comfortable but I don't care - I've put a NATO on it, just catering for the unlikely event of one of the spring-bars snapping, and I prefer them anyway. Value for money? £150? Well worth it. This is my fifth Citizen, the others either having been kept or given away, and my automatic Pro-Diver 200m? I'm keeping it - permanently; none (as far as I'm aware) has ever gone defective - ever. If I wanted to hang on to just the one watch, out of my collection of about half a dozen or so (I know I know - boys' toys) then this would most definitely be the one. Outstanding. PS: Two months in and it's gained 2.5 seconds, which is just fine by me. PS: 2021 and still going strong, though the price has gone up it’s still good value its class, which is tops. PS: May 2021 and still perfect, though the price has gone up a bit! PS: 2023 and still perfect!

Not much to add that hasn't already been said in other reviews. The lume is impressive, like micro L.E.D.s I love the chunky purposefullness of this solid watch with good clarity. I like the angled crown for date and time adjustment. It's a good looking, eye catching watch. Easy to see why it has a bit of a cult following. Superb Citizen build quality. Strap could be better and I'm surprised that the metal buckle clip isn't etched with "Citizen". But it's ok. Love it.

Mis à part le guichet de date minuscule, je trouve cette montre très attachante ! Depuis mon achat, elle ne quitte plus mon poignet, même la nuit. Magnifique !

Nice watch

Muy buen reloj

Molto bello. L'ho restituito perché la cassa è 44 mm e un po' grande per il mio polso.

The watch was just what I wanted and I feel it looks good too.
