Customer Reviews Citizen Watches BN0151-09L Promaster Professional Diver

Great, sporty, and durable watch. Band does have "No Decompression Limits" for scuba diving printed on outside of band, but are unnoticeable if you are not the wearer. Highly recommend!

I really liked the look and size of the watch for my 6¾" wrist, but returned it for several reasons. The date window is very small, and to make matters worse, it is somewhat recessed below the face of the watch. To view the date, it was necessary to look directly down on top of it. If there has ever been a watch that could use a date magnifier, this is it. If you have less than perfect vision, plan on squinting to see the numerals within the date window. Even with perfect vision you cannot simply glance down to see the date because of its position below the face. The crown pin, when unscrewed to set the time and date seemed very thin compared to my other watches and it did not turn very smoothly. I felt this was another red flag for quality. For my wrist, the rubber strap was terribly uncomfortable and unstable. Regardless of the notch I used, the watch continued to slide backwards as I was wearing it. Casio G-shocks have a far better strap and cost less money. Also, the pins that hold the strap to the watch make a clicking sound if you apply any pressure such as resting your wrist on a table. It is as though the pins are flexing with the strap and are too small for the lug-holes. It may be secure to the wrist, but the clicking sounds made me doubt that the pins are stable. This will sound nit-picky to some, but the second hand on the one I received did not line up with the markers. Since it is not an automatic with a sweeping second hand, I would like the second hand to land on a marker with each tick. However, this may be asking too much from a watch at this price point. I bought this hoping it would make a good beater for when I am not wearing some of my nicer yet less water resistant watches. I was willing to live with a scratch-magnet mineral crystal if the rest of the watch seemed to be of good quality for the money. I like the concept of the eco-drive technology. I really wanted to love this diver, but just found too many things that kept me from it. To be fair, maybe I am asking too much for a watch at this price point but for a beach/lake/beater watch, I think that I will just use a G-shock and save the rest of the money for something made in Geneva. If you are considering this watch, you can find it for less money elsewhere. I purchased from Zappos because of their customer service and because they are an authorized Citizen dealer with a five year warranty. Several online resellers only include a one year warranty.

Beautiful watch, works flawlessly. Very satisfied!

Love the watch. Super-accurate — loses less than 2 seconds a month. Very legible, comfortable. Blue dial very attractive, especially paired with the comfortable blue silicon strap. I’m not a diver but I like the looks and the sturdiness of a watch rated st 200m.
