I like that Citizen is coming strong, releasing more updated colourways and dials. This one is fun with the yellow chaper ring. ♥ However I would like them to release updated straps as well for a better wearing experience. Would you kindly keep an eye out for the new upcoming 36mm Promaster eco-drive model EO2020-08E for a review?
I'm going to pick up one of these for my brother in law, he's left handed and currently only owns fashion watches, but he has a bunch so I think we might have a collector in the wings. This looks like a good one and I know I love my Ecodrive Promaster Diver.
Great looking watch. Thanks for featuring Citizen divers. I have a few (auto and eco drive) and find them reliable and good looking. This one is a step up! Cheers!
The pattern on the face is the pattern of the sand on the ocean floor of a puffer fish nest. They make that pattern with there body and tail in the sand to attract mates. The textured Dial has a cool meaning, that's why there's a puffer fish on the back of the bezel.
Love the dial, color combo, and hand set. The left side crown, however functional, just kills it. But yeah, Citizen is making some good choices with their design language on their tool watches.
Great review and may purchase this model. Does the lume stay strong through the night ie can still read it as I heard it faded quickly and was not legible
Great video. I really like this watch with this dial and colorway. I do wish Citizen kept the old size of the NY0040 watches but I need to try one of these. Did you say what the lug width was? 20 or 22mm?
Mate, it wears really well, you can tell the difference, but only slightly, its an unbelievable watch, the strap is better ,bezel action is better than the ny0040, I'm over the moon with it😀
Like others, I wish these were smaller. And there's a difference between "looks like" and "wears like" with respect to size (which Chris often notes). Due to the small dial area, these do look like 42mm, and a couple of dealers I visited thought they were 41mm. But they're still big, and they feel big to me. (At least the bracelet version with male end links. The strap version might not feel so large.) I might buy one anyway, but the size is a turnoff, as is the clasp on the bracelet versions, which has only two microadjust positions. But they look great, and the quality is very high.
i ordered a yellow one from, jared the galleria, for 405$ shipped! .had a hard time deciding between the blue and yellow but chose the yellow for the minute hand.
Looks like every other citizen diver just with a tacky crapy dial that looks like textured plastic. And 550 for the most basic myota movement. No for me.
