I’ve always been partial to Citizen watches because of the quality/affordability ratio. I had no idea this model existed. It’s an amazing looking watch! Thank you for covering it. I always enjoy your reviews 🥃
I’ve been looking at this watch for a bit…seeing it on the white strap sold me…still convinced you could make any Watch look great with your camera work…
I also waited patiently for months since the watch was announced, and managed to snap one up from a great Italian AD for a good discount off list price! The wait however was excruciating! I also ordered the white FKM from 7Friendsandwatches tonight as the black rubber, although serviceable, lets the package down in my opinion for a limited release watch. I'll probably add a bracelet a bit down the road, but for now, I can't wait to see it on the white FKM! Great review as always sir!
I think the original orange minute hand is one of the best features. It is still a very attractive and affordable watch but I wish it still keeps the orange minute hand. I like this watch but I am ok with the original blue version BN0151.
You inspired me to buy this. I got it with the a steel bracelet, too. I had just ordered the original blue dial and then an hour later saw this. Canceled that order, got all money back, and bought this instead. Last one on eBay at the cheapest price ($370). Coming in a couple weeks. What a magnificent dial! Love the white across the second marks too. Definitely found a gem!
@@Kingstonsmac it’s a great watch! Barely wear it tho. Just not for me personally. Got it on an islander jubilee bracelet too. Looking to sell it, it’s in great condition. You want it?
Fantastic video and review, thank you! I've honestly never thought much of these Promaster divers in the past, but that dial is beautiful I must admit. Paired with the white rubber, or a turquoise, that would be a fantastic summer watch with some real presence!
Mate, love your videos! The b-roll is fantastic mate. I like the relaxing background music, and your explanations are top notch. I agree the dial is fantastic👍 Not too sure ‘bout the bezel insert & the chapter ring though. But a pretty cool watch! And as always a great video!
I appreciate your words, thank you very much! :) That's the idea, to bring good vibes to the videos, to aplify sometimes their purpose and not to waste people's time :) thank you once again!
I own the pepsi promaster eco drive ( BN 0168-06L ) and I love it, now I'm waiting for Citizen to release the smaller EO2028-06L in 44 mm. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Great looking watch! I love how it resembles the great blue of the ocean. Thank you so much for the beautiful looking reviews and the interesting facts you tell about the watches, you are by far one of the best watch reviewers on the internet! I wish you all the best! Regards Martin from The Netherlands! ❤
A beauty. After you’ve healed up from vacation maybe we can look at tri-compax chronos? Like everything from Baltany to IWC…….NO 24 hr dials! Lol, thanks Andrei.
I have the army green Fugu I bough for $190 and its a watch worth for that price. The Unite with blue model was $475 retail but after discounts I managed to find it for $350 which is still a lot for this model so I passed on it. For similar price, you will find a Seiko 38mm solar prospex models which comes with better finishing, decent bracelet and sapphire crystal. Unless you are after this particular dial, dont waste your money on this model. Just get the standard promaster colors which you can find for under $200 and spend the change on a good strap.
I love divers. Especially Japanese divers. Mainly Seikos but I have a special soft spot for Promasters as mu first ever serious watch was a Promaster :)
Great review, I purchased mine from a Canadian AD for $306 US dollars shipped, can not wait to get it in hands. Halas, the white rubber band shown is sold out so I got a couple FKM bands from another good brand. Cheers
I got this model by 240€ in Spain just the week it was released. I took it with me during a weekend in a beach of Andalusia and felt gorgeous, practical and certified for sea acticities, what else? Thanks for the video!
The minute i saw your video i ran to buy one lol It is rare that watch company's make iridescent dials. I know that Seiko used to make some back in the 70's. This is my first Citizen watch and i don't think i will ever get tired of that dial.
great video and I am sold. I bought one in Vancouver last weekend and it really is a striking piece. However after getting home and handling it a bit more I realized that the bezel insert (not the bezel ring itself) rattles a bit when tapping it with my finger nail. I called the store where I bought it from and asked them to tap on a few other pro master dive inserts and they said that they seemed solid and did not rattle. I went to the only jewelry store in my small town and they did have some Citizens with a bezel, not like mine, and I tapped a few of those and did hear some rattling so not sure if it is a thing to worry about or not. Any feed back if and one else has/had this issue?
Recently bought a well used Citizen H500 Chronograph for $60. Just started collecting and love my Casio’s. The Duro and MRW-200H are my favorites. But I just ordered this over a SEIKO 5 Automatic. It’s so beautiful and I like Quartz and Eco-Drives. Maybe a SEIKO 5 next year.
Saw the video and i fell in love. Luckily i found a store that had it at 268 euro, and 2 days later was in my hand. I don't generally go for quartz watches, but this dial is so lovely, i can't wait to go to the beach, and take a swim with it.
@@eternalmemrii feel a lot of people are sleeping on this watch. BTW, the rubber strap is solid tool watch focused, and is solidly built, but i also tried it on a white cream nato, and works like a dream. It's sad this version doesn't come on a metal bracelet though. The Promaster has one of the best ones in this price range.
@@knutjunker2019 had the chance to take it diving. So far, it's the best performing diver i've used. And as much as i love my mechanical divers, you're right, this is so convenient with the Eco-Drive.
Very pretty and cool piece. I didn't know it exist, just checked my local store's site and they say coming soon for $322. I was thinking about eco drive for some time and this nice version look worth for me additional $60 compared to standard black.
The dial and hands are spectacular and I would ha like the bezel color a muted dark turqoise or blue so it wouldn’t draw attention on itself. Just my opinion.
Wow,, I recently got the black dial version,, I so wish I'd hung on a bit, to get this lovely version,, absolutely stunning,, 👍 ps, the strap is awful, I wear mine on an Isofrane strap, which cost nearly as much as the watch, 🤣,, but it's the perfect beater watch now, imho,, All the best my friend,, 😊
Haha! I didn't liked it at the begginig either. I feel the isofrane straps a bit too thick and most of the time uncomforbable. I prefer more like tropic style straps. But it depends on the style of the watch :) Cheers!
I hope, one day, that Citizen will upgrade with a sapphire crystal like on some Citizen "high price models" ... ...for under 350$, she could be a reference !
The as1060-54m, from the same unite with blue line as this one, at the same price, has a sapphire crystal for some reason. It's a dress watch, so I reckon it needs the sapphire less than this one but hey I'm not complaining.
gonna get this for christmas, looks awesome and gonna switch it day by day with my prx tiffany on the white strap :) (or maybe put both on since i have two arms :D )
It’s all your fault,I just ordered the Fujitsubo titanium on rubber. A couple glasses of merlot and your great video on this awesome piece,and i whipped out the old plastic.❤
About 400 dollars total including that rubber strap is allot of money for a watch without a smoother mechanical movement.Nevertheless a work of art when it comes to that dial which is justifiable for that reason alone imo.I also love the black n Gold citizen Promaster as well as their fully lumed titanium model.
Great review 👍🏽 it’s definitely one to get soon. I noticed there where 2 options for the strap linked. Just wanted to know which is the correct size for this watch? Thanks
Picked up a mechanical promaster for a little under 200 euros, the miyota does consistently between +4 to +8 per day, much more consistant and accurate than the 6r movement that cost over 1000 euros. Something that really makes me question if Seiko will ever make a mechanical watch that will appeal to me again, as I do care about accuracy, and its not just jewlery to me.
Says 8204-R014927 on the back, can't find name where ordered it. I think they updated the movement without changing the code of the watch from what I remember, still says 8203 on the dial, even if it has the updated movement, got mine last summer in Germany, so what movement you get depends on how old the stock is. @@rodolfotumbacoj.4937
Usually I buy them from ebay. There are models which appear for preorder. I pay in advance for them. The secret is to know which watches to preorder :D Cheers!
Great dial. But I am not fond of the bicolor bezel insert. The green looks mismatched. If the bezel was all blue I would like it better. I just received it and I am on the fence.
Very nice..the thing with Citizen is the untapped potential they have in the mechanical sector at the $400-800 with their 9 series movements , if they can put a dial like like this on a $300 ish quartz imagine what they could do if their designs & proportions in general were a bit more appealing ? their quality/qc isn't a question & its there for the taking as far as Seiko are concerned imo.
that dial is mesmerizing to look at!
True :)
Fantastic with the white strap. Thanks for the idea
Anytime :D

Very cool. I like what Citizen is doing 👍
Love the white chapter with the white secondhand. Cool summer colorway
Same here :)

One of the most beautiful dial and bezel colorway i have ever seen. Thank you for making this video. ill check this out
I think the original orange minute hand is one of the best features. It is still a very attractive and affordable watch but I wish it still keeps the orange minute hand.
I like this watch but I am ok with the original blue version BN0151.
Love it when you pair the watch with white rubber strap. Nice...
apparently this was all about white rubbers :D Cheers!
I love the more minimalistic Promasters.
Such a cool dial on this one.
I agree, the dial complexity compliments better this case design :)
Bought this one after buying a Promaster with gray dial on a bracelet. Fell in love with this dial and had to have it, too. No regrets
This watch looks AMAZING!! And the white band match perfect!! I need buy one of these for this summer!!
Great looking watch
Already have a Promaster diver eco-drive, black on black with a great bracelet, love the quality! That amaaaazing dial though.... just love it!
Stunningly beautiful watch!! I have this watch and I can't keep my eyes off of it!
Looks stunning on the white rubber !!! Great Video Mr Beaters 🙂

very true! I actually should try a turquoise strap as well and see how it fits. Cheers! :)
I paired mime with a green leather strap. The dial is utterly stunning.
Citizen is really making such interesting choices at the moment. That dial is so cool to look at.
Mate, love your videos! The b-roll is fantastic mate.
I like the relaxing background music, and your explanations are top notch.

I bought it on your recommendation, with a white silicone strap. Thank you!🙃
❤️ Hope you enjoy it!! Congratulations!
Yes! I really like it. Keep up the good work. Every watch looks much nicer in your video than in real life.@@BraveBeaters
do you have the link for the white strap?
nope, I bought it at some local store@@bavarianwolf3806
I own the pepsi promaster eco drive ( BN 0168-06L ) and I love it, now I'm waiting for Citizen to release the smaller EO2028-06L in 44 mm. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I´d change the strap to a bracelet, it would fit with the other promaster bracelets? The dial is stunning,as your video production
Wonderful as usual. Great watch but the best watch channel for sure. Always enjoy you vids!
This is absolutely beautifull!
Gorgeous! Gonna visit my AD tomorrow!! Very nice review. Thanks!
Thank you & happy hunting! :)
Wow, that’s a gorgeous watch! Reminds me of the Oris Aquis “Clean Ocean”, but this may actually look better.
Haha, agree! :)
this one is gorgeous and it does look just like the Mediterranean sea seen from a cliff..
The white rubber strap choice
*Chefs kiss*
I love citizen watches, same with seiko and casio.😍
Looks great on that white strap.
You’re right, that dial on that white strap is perfect.
White straps all the way! :) Cheers!

Great video, gorgeous dial. Been curious since I saw this watch on Sakura, it doesn't disappoint I see🔥🙂👍

Cheers! :)

Hope your energy & motivation will skyrocket!
🚀 thank you, Mr. stranger R! :D
Nice. I’m eyeing this in the sunburst dial.
Thanks for the strap recommendation. Going to try it on a white strap now. :)
Haha, you are welcome! This summer, 90% of the time I've been wearing divers only on white rubbers... They work so well with the lumed markers :)
Thanks for the video. This dial is sick!
Haha true! :)

The green one is very cool! I have to grab one for myself! :D
Great review and great looking Promaster. I have a Promaster diver and really like it but I can't see paying $350 even for this model.
understandable. Especially when the case and the movement is basically the same.

Yes. The bezel is distracting and mismatched. It should be all blue. Received the watch, the bezel insert colors may be a dealbreaker for me.

It would be helpful for you to put a link in the description for the watches you review just in case we may want to buy one.
Usually I buy them from ebay. There are models which appear for preorder. I pay in advance for them. The secret is to know which watches to preorder :D Cheers!
Great dial. But I am not fond of the bicolor bezel insert. The green looks mismatched. If the bezel was all blue I would like it better. I just received it and I am on the fence.
How often do you see a blue and green bezel? I dig it, makes it even more unique.
I love the bicolour bezel.
Heavenly gorgeous !!!
Maybe I missed it, but what is the reference number for this one?
BN0166-01L this is the reference.
Bro i find so clean Tissot Bridgeport Quartz for only 100$ should i buy? And this watch is good for hold?
Pretty cool. The dials a bit much for me. I have the basic gray and I got it with the steel band. The band is killer on this model
Very nice..the thing with Citizen is the untapped potential they have in the mechanical sector at the $400-800 with their 9 series movements , if they can put a dial like like this on a $300 ish quartz imagine what they could do if their designs & proportions in general were a bit more appealing ? their quality/qc isn't a question & its there for the taking as far as Seiko are concerned imo.
For sure, the brand has a lot of potential and tons of awsome watches to reissue from their past. I am a fan :D because Seiko lost me.
It's a nice looking watch... Thx for the video.
For me... i say only... Sideral S 😁
Haha. Enjoy it! The Sideral is a super cool piece!
yeah that does look really nice... until you see the second hand tick tick tick. if someone mods it into an automatic, that would be hot.
:))))) preferences, preferences!
Love it❤
That's a peacock dial. Very nice👌
Haha, true! :)
Beautiful watxh when put on that white strap, very tasteful. On the black strap: normalito 😅
Haha, true! :)
Should have a sweeping second hand at this price.
Hard to buy for me without sapphire...
