I have this watch now for about a year. I can find now flaw so far. The size is perfect and lume is great. The Coke is more appealing to me than the Pepsi bezel. Also Coke bezel is the more rare combination on dive watches. It looks great on a red rubber strap.
I’ve owned this watch for a few months now, and I agree with the review. I’m ok with no bracelet, it’s easy to purchase a decent after-market one anyway. My only negative: lume could be better
Thanks for your sharing your thoughts Shawn! Did you end up getting an aftermarket bracelet? I have seen a few people put it on some nice metal bracelets. Also do check out my other video here where I compare the loom against 2 other watches. th-cam.com/video/cu5bioom1OY/w-d-xo.html
Citizen make wonderful watches. I have 4 Citizen Eco-Drive watches. They are all so superior, beautifully machined, no rough edges, numbers all perfect and accurate to a few seconds a month.
Just found one of these used (less than 6months old with receipts), and pushed the buy it now button after watching your review. The New Seiko 5 will have to wait.
Oh I forgot to add that I just put one on layby NY0086-83L which is a pepsi with bracelet. For $295 down from $599 I instantly fell in love more so with its feel of quality. Good decision no regrets. Hopefully it serves me well.
Good review, well done. But no lume shot? Citizen is slowly winning my heart away from Seikos. I just hope they take their automatic movements a bit more serious and build an extensive range. Looking forward to their more high end chronographs and divers with automatic movements as Seiko does with their PROSPEX range.
I just got the same coke variant. Accuracy is good too at +5 seconds a day. My only concern is the handwinding is a little bit stiffer on my Ny0085 compared to my Ny0040, just don't know why its like that considering they've got the same movment.
Bro. Loved the video. Loved the combination is straps ! Also, I'm sitting at Roza cafe (next to middle eastern restaurant) on Sydney road while watching this video. Cheers to good ol times !!
Great video! Now you've got a new subscriber!! I own and couple of Citizen Promaster watches, they are way better than any Seiko SKX . much more bang for the buck!

Everyone needs a Promaster.
Just ordered myself a full lume promaster 👍
I like the band it came with. It adds to the intent of the watch.

💯
Red rubber strap sounds like it would look awful.

can you really dive with this watch or is it for looks?
@@paulvon2378 If it says 'Diver 200m', it has been certified for 200m.

Love the colour combination!

Your review was excellent, concise & informative. You have talent & should make more. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Bought one today to go with m,y NY0040-09 full lume. Happy as!
That's awesome man!

Just got one from Starbuy on sale for 200 AUD! With the upgraded 8204 movement that hacks. Incredible bargain.
Yeah saw that couple of weeks back. What a bargain. Great buy at that price
can't believe I missed this price for it. I want one but I'd love to save $70.
Just bought a limited edition Japan only model from Chronomaster uk great watch.
I think it’s a better watch than the Seiko SKX.

Hey bro glad you like it! What was your favourite combo?
@@BasicallyWatches brown strap
Great review. Got one of these myself. Agree with you on the strap. Switched it out with the strap from Helm watch, and it's perfect now 🙂
Thanks for that appreciate it 😊. How's the Helm heard they are nice watches
Its a great watch. Solid and good lume.
Looks great with the red strap. Ordered mine now 👍🥰
it's a very sexy watch. The one with ethe blue and red bezel doesn't appeal. It seems that they stopped producing the one onn the video
I have one. I bought two weeks ago . It's an amazing how accurate it is . I love it .
Congrats John! They are great watches and offer so much value for money
Great video! Now you've got a new subscriber!!

Thanks appreciate the support. Yeah I do love the promaster so much value for money
It is 8204 today, with hacking function :D
Is that a new release? Keen to find out more
@@BasicallyWatches Yes it is a new release.
Nice one! Great insights on this one.. I’m actually learning a thing or 2!
Thanks Kevin! Glad to hear 😄
how accurate is it exactly, how much seconds does it lose in a day ?
Awesome stuff! Keep these videos coming.
Thanks heaps Gaine! Appreciate the feedback

To me, it's a nicer beater. I have the green bezel one on bracelet.
I really like the watch
I personely thinking about getting this watch, so thanks for this video, It was nice and informative 👌😊
Thanks for the kind words, glad to hear it was helpful!
I like the look of this watch...nice
😄 it's a great looking watch
Polyuterane 😉
Priceless.
Keeper, absolutely no brainer
very helpful advice prior to my purchas
Thank you so much, really appreciate it and glad you found it helpful
Better than skx for sure
👍
Yo
I got the same watch but its 8204. Do you know why?
Interesting is it the exact same reference? Does it have a hacking movement?
Great video
Thank you ☺️
Is one able to get a stainless strap for this model ?
Hi Alan the Citizen Promaster NY0085-86EE comes with a stainless strap. There are aftermarket options available too try strapcode or watch gecko
Oh yeah consider buying like now👍
Good choice 👍
skx kills it for looks
SKX is legendary but prices are trending up. The citizen promaster hold its own against the skx and is definitely a worthy alternative contender
And the promaster kills it in every other category
hi, where do u buy this watch?
Depending on your location you could try Amazon or Ebay?
I live in Malaysia.. ok i will try amazon.thanks for your response.
@@mohdfahmiahmadkhairi if you have no luck with Amazon/eBay, try Chrono24 (that’s where I bought mine)
@@shawn1928 i see.. thanks dude! will buy chrono24😊
@@mohdfahmiahmadkhairi dah dapat ke bro?
