Just another wake up call to Seiko for its build quality. Thanks for sharing!

Citizen seem to consistently knock out quality dive watches for great prices. If folk are not requiring automatic movements, it’s a great company to go with.

This is an extremely handsome watch. I love the unassuming design choices. It was never on my radar, until now. Definitely interested in picking one up now.

I just received this watch after buying because of your video. This watch is PERFECT for me! The negatives you mention certainly exist (small crown, mineral crystal, date window size/depth and hard to read hands at certain angles), but they are all overshadowed by the positives for me. It’s looks, height, weight, and the strap comfort are unlike any watch I’ve been trying on. I LOVE IT. Thank you for this video!

At that price mineral crystal is fine, if it scratches up, just replace it with sapphire. Not an expensive upgrade, and of course pay a bit more and get it pressure tested,

Citizen Knows how to make titanium watches !!

Thank you very much. I was searching for my next eco drive watch after the Promaster Tough and wanted a diver. I agree on the crown but it will be used probably one a month so I can live with it. Keep the good work.

Send it to JerryRig to see wether there are "light scratches at level 6 and deeper groves at level 7".

one of favorites in Citizen, looks sharp!!

I love that Citizens ice blue loom!

that finishing is impeccable

Nice watch at a reasonable price. Thanks for showing it.

Nice watch. I kind of like that strap as well. Loved that lume.......

My Citizen Pro-masters lume outlasts my Seikos and my Orient Ray (which is also probably Lumibrite). Not nearly as initially bright but it totally beats them for legibility overnight. I think it’s because it absorbs as much energy, but doesn’t release it in a big burst. Really holds on to the energy and releases slowly.

That blue lume got me, just put it to my "To buy" list

I got the titanium braclet version of it on amazon for 220 euros that was a very good deal for a very good watch !!!

Nice Citizen Watch...I LIKE!👍🏽

What a handsome piece !

Great value for titanium! That blue lume is so sexy!

I owned that exact watch for a year. I loved how it looked, but it has 3 issues that kept getting on my nerves. 1) Any slight down pressure on the bezel, and it really resisted moving. Slight pull was required to be smooth. 2) The Skeleton hands get lost in the markers. 3) The crown is frustrating to manipulate with medium to large hands. It is too small. It keeps great time. It has terrific lume. Good face contrast. Great proportions, weight, and dimensions. And it is a great price, but the warts get annoying eventually.

Now that’s how to do a dive watch. Can’t quite put my finger on what it is (perhaps a more upmarket Casio Dura?). Eco drive so no bother with winding and setting (perhaps why the crown can be smaller) plus titanium so it’s light and at a great price. If I didn’t have way too many divers I would deffo buy it. I also agree the rubber looks great and I’m a bracelet guy! Full marks Citizen. 👍

Magnificent watch - one of my favourites to wear

If the strap is wet it slides easily through the keepers, then grabs when it dries out. Splash a little water and it's fine.

Considering to pick this up good review, my orange monster still keeps great time after 15 years

Nice alternative to a similar sized Seiko Tuna, Citizen's quartz-Eccodrive is basically perfected. I agree, rubber strap is the way to go, make's a good contract with the watch. I have no issues with their quality, they make a damned good watch.

Looks great. It reminds me of the Obris Morgan Infinity a little bit. I had both and flipped them.... lack of friction on the bezel with this one but otherwise a great watch.

Reminds me of a Tag or a Tudor Pelagos diver, nice watch.

Looks nice👍

Excelente video. 👏👏

Monster stole the show! 😄❤️

I have a Rolex 114060 no date ceramic Submariner and yet I prefer my Citizen titanium dive watch. It looks good (reminds me of my Tag Heuer Aquaracer caliber 5) and is very light. Whenever I really need a reliable tool watch I reach for the Citizen

They do these in a nice royal blue strap. Looks very nice and a little more special than in black.

I have got the same watch for a couple of weeks now. Except the dial is orange! It's the bn0200-05x. So far so good, still getting used to wearing titanium watch. Feels so light! don't wanna mess with the bezel too much unless i need it when diving ;-)

Good review. This review popped up on my feed the other day. I already bought it. I like the watch. It's light and thin. It sits nice and low on the wrist. Great balance. The second hand lines up with the ticks on the chapter ring too. The bezel isn't as positive as I'm used too, but it's ok. My biggest gripe is the buckle on the strap. It's kind of sharp where it pivots on the strap. It stabs me when I put any pressure on the buckle toward my wrist. I'll reshape that part of the buckle at some point. This is one of the nicer rubber straps I've come across so I'd like to wear it. Now it's on a 22mm Barton NATO and it's really comfortable. I like the darker tone of titanium too.

@@toanho155 yes. At least on my watch the bezel is easy to turn. Too easy for diving in my opinion.

I don’t own a Citizen yet, but from all the reviews that I’ve seen, their loom on divers watches is very, very good. Plus, their eco models are so easy to keep charged and so accurate time keepers that they blow away all Automatic watches, regardless of cost. Personally, I find those two features to be very attractive. Mechanical watches are marvels in their own right, but quartz based movements are functionally superior. Their accuracy is unreal. At worst they are +/- < 1 second per day. At best, they receive radio or satellite signals updating them to perfect time even when crossing time zones. They have technical advantages that are simply insurmountable for mechanical movements of any price. I think a good watch collection should contain mechanical and quartz based examples. Some might not agree, depending on their priorities.

@dazjackson1972

I have a couple of divers with the e168 movement and find it tremendously accurate. About +/- 1 sec per month if worn constantly and +/- 2 sec per month when not worn.

I own the bracelet version. Very comfortable.

Im getting a casio duro vibe. would be a nice upgrade from the duro.

Strange that the crown isn't signed with the Promaster logo, mine is. Good video.

Titanium watches have a distinct advantage over stainless steel, platinum and gold-filled timepieces. Titanium is a light-weight metal that is highly resistant to corrosion, making it a suitable metal for outdoor, sports-style use. The only downside of titanium watches are pricy, however, this citizen is completely affordable.... A great watch to own.

Nice watch , being a titanium is makes it cooler to me . I have not tried as much Citizens as other brands but I have a feeling that this particular watch has more comfortable rubber strap than my Citizen Promaster .The lugs are nicely designed as well as the numbers on the bezel . It may not become a ceramic bezel but it rather looks nice Thanks for sharing

I don’t think the mineral crystal is dictated by the price, but by diving conditions. I doubt anyone would be reluctant to spend a few more dollars for sapphire.

Wow... First info... How come? It's a stunner!

The Titanium braclet version of this is a pain in the Axx you never really get the right fit with it Looking for a silicon band right now !!

And the Citizen work and work non-stop, I got one since last Millenium and didn’t visit the garage yet...when the automatic Seiko need to do so.

It may be quartz, but it’s a nice watch!

Is there a smaller version of this or something similar. Looking for a diver with a rubber strap.

Very lightweight, heavy water resistance, always on time and low maintenance. I Will get this as My everyday watch, move the SARB033 to the dresswatch category

Perfect beater if you ask me

If anyone is wondering about the wording of "base titanium", "Base metal" is a jewellery/watch industry term which means "not gold, silver or platinum". It's to make it clear that this watch is not made of precious metal, rather than giving any indication about the type of titanium.

It bought it and sold it. Maybe regretfully. It vaguely reminds me of the Tag Aquaracer Solargraph. But there are some issues. It would be better 2mm smaller. Too much dead space in the dial. the crown could be a little bigger. If the bezel was titanium finish, not black, with black numbers, it would look amazing. Maybe a splash of color with the second hand. WHen I had it i felt it was a bit bland. But with some tweaks it would be a an amazing watch

I like the look of this one. Why can't they do something like this at 40mm?

Ugh ...now I gotta buy this

How will it look with grey titanium bracelet? Anybody changed strap to titanium?

I picked one of these up on the titanium bracelet last year from eBay for just over $200. It's a nice piece, however, the bezel action on mine is non-existent. There are no discernible clicks at all, and the sensation when turning the bezel is akin to a pepper mill, with an unpleasant grinding feel. I'd read that this was a problem with this model, but decided to roll the dice anyway, and lost.

Do you have a recommendation for the aluminum strap?

Put it on a nato a you get a affordable bond style diver....

This looks a little similar to my 300m stainless steel diver bn0085-01e and looks to have a near identical Pu strap. The weight difference is staggering, mine weighs I think 131 grams on the original strap.

A “true” GMT version of this watch would be very nice.
