Was going to buy this one. Took too long to get in stock and the bezel is apparently horrible and the crown hard to use. I went Seiko SPB143 instead... Edit: Bezel action didn't seem too bad on your example at first but that back play! 1 whole click back, wow.
I’ve not got this specific watch but my citizen diver has both a horrible bezel action and a tiny crown that is borderline unusable. Thankfully it’s solar so you rarely need to…other than that I really like the watch but it’s got obvious flaws
It actually doesn’t really have back play. It’s a 60 click bezel, and has farther to travel before it clicks into the detent. If it’s not clicked into place yet, you can turn it back, but once it clicks into place there’s no back play.
Terrific watch. More comfortable than the 3 Rolex’s i owned in the past Accuracy isn’t exactly cosc (+12 secs a day) but besides that, this watch feels far more luxury than the price suggests I’m sick of rather lazy Seiko movements, my experience with 2 seiko turtles has been surprisingly very poor (accuracy and watches breaking within 3 years) In my opinion, Citizen is a better watchmaker than seiko I was a Seiko devotee, i think they have become lazy and greedy. Almost zero movement development for how many years Seiko? Do better
Good price Starbuy. Well done. Keep up the great work.
Love it, beautifully proportioned design👍
I have this in my collection love it and with it having sapphire crystal and 4hz movement its very nice for the price 🔥
Great review. Thank you. Subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
Looks above all like an old school Citizen diver to me 😉

Yeah, I just noticed that myself whilst editing it!
@Ian Graham I had a Fugu crown action and ease of use was really good. Lovely pop when unscrewed too.

@@iangraham705 you likely have the titanium solar watch. Titanium bezels do not click like steel bezels. It has to do with the metal's properties.
No lume shot?
Apologies...forgot to do it! Doh!!
@@TheWatchChannelAU thanks for the review. I saw the lume on another review.
I think ,a bigger crown suits better to the watch.🤔🤔
