Finally a nice review of a Citizen watch, i always find everywhere peoples talking about Seiko Seiko Seiko.... I got one of this, the blue version, and it's simply stunning, the materials, the design, the solar powered movement...i love it! Cheers from Italy!

I have the BNO 150. Very nice watch. I want the bracelet and I think I'm going with the Long Island Watch version for $59.00. Not liking the rubber band, it pulls my watch to the outside of my wrist ever so slightly.

Citizen is great i have a titanium quartz chronograph with 2 alarms, countdown, chrono, etc. It has been working flawless since 1993...

i have been eyeing this watch ever since you first reviewed it and declared it as your "watch of the year" for 2015. thank you for giving us a look at it again.

Thanks for watching all these years :)

Love this watch! Just got one from SeiyaJapan with the bracelet. This has to be the most comfortable watch to wear that I've ever had. Quality of the build was fantastic.

I now have two of these! One on the rubber and one with bracelet. The bracelet includes a multiple increment diver extension like on Rolex Seamaster and Seiko Marine Master 300... incredible. If it didn't have Citizen written on the face people would spend $xxxx on this. I bought the bracelet version on Ebay for £150 ($200). Got a brand new rubber strap version on an Amazon special for £100.... Best two watches in my collection, for the money, by miles and miles.

I love my promaster diver. I have mine on a black nato, not flashy but love how accurate and reliable it is. Thanks for the review. Renewing my love for it again.

This is probably my 3rd time watching this video. I had a BN0151 (blue watch, blue strap) for more than a year, on sale. I then bought the bracelet on eBay late last year for as much as I spent on that watch. Fast forward to the last couple of months, I had sold the watch but not the bracelet, hoping Amazon would run a deal on the BN0150 (the black one) on the strap so I could order that. In the meantime, I also bought a BN0200 (titanium) on the fitted rubber strap, but it always looked larger than it felt, and the buckle would dig into my wrist so I need that one gone. Amazon finally decided to run a deal on the BN0150 for Prime Day, and I caved. So yeah, kind of a rebuy...

Bought it from Seiya Japan because of your video and it's a fantastic watch Thank you!

I love all my Citizen watches. I usually end up keeping them unlike all my Seiko's which I end up flipping online after a while cause I get tired of them. My next purchase will be Citizen Promaster FUGO diver but I haven't decided what color I want.

Hey Man, i love your videos! The Citizen divers as you mentioned are great quality pieces. I really like seikos but I seem to always gravitate back to Citizen. Fantastic value for the money and the QC is impeccable.

Agreed :)

Great review. I agree about Citizen offering the biggest bang for the buck. This diver looks like a great everyday watch.

I really like mine. I overlooked it when I first watched this video because I thought it was odd to have a 20mm band on 44mm watch. But it looks good in person. I like the satin stainless look.

Bought this watch 2 months ago as I wanted to add a Citizen Diver eco drive to my eco drive collection. I also wanted an eco drive diver to compliment my clockwork divers. Really like Seiko watches and have a few Orient divers too but I feel the Citizen build quality leaves Seiko behind. You forgot to mention the solid end links on the Citizen diver bracelet. It has one of the best bracelets I've worn. Could've got it before Christmas for £189 but had to pay £225 and had to get from Italy as none to be had with the bracelet in the UK. The bracelet model is becoming scarce. They are selling just the original bracelet for £150 so paying an extra £75 for the complete assembly seems a good deal. Great watch channel.

I saw the original video of this watch you posted and now I am watching this video wearing this watch. But I got the blue version with rubber strap as I didn't wanna spend the extra 120$ for just getting the bracelet

I have the black and the blue. Would like to upgrade to a sapphire and that bracelet.

Great video, I love this watch! had one for 6 months and the quality is so good , especially for the price. If they sold one with a sapphire crystal, it would be perfect! Cheers!

I'm seeing more BN0150's in the wild after last Black Friday. Amazon had them for $88 on the rubber strap!

Man, the seiko glows like a torch!

Thank you, after seeing your review, I picked up the BN0150-28E from Amazon.ca recently on sale $203 Cdn. Is it me, I find the hands (minute and hour) are blue line and all minute markers are green. Mine came on rubber strap. Great watch!

Yea I have the blue one with the resin strap and it’s my #1 wrist time watch. There’s something about it. I melt into it somehow

I own this one and love it. Seiko looks a little better. But the quality issues on Seiko is terrible. I love the citizen.

I have the 0040 and the 0150, both of which are great. Haven't worn any of my Seiko's for months. The 0150 keeps perfect time and never needs adjusting. In fact, if it had the perpetual calendar, I don't think you'd ever have to adjust it, well, that's probably an overstatement, but it's close. Also, Citizen's QC is much better...I just cannot un-see my Turtle's misalignment at 12 and 6 o'clock.

Minus4Plus6 i agree. Because they would definitely take the time to regulate the watch to 5 to 10 seconds and not the stupid 30 seconds seiko roll out of the factory for the 7s26

Could you post a link where to find the bracelets? I have the older 300m promaster diver and want the bracelet! Thanks

Hi.. I love Citizen over Seiko. I guess that is only a brand loyalty thing which prompts me to ask you about that single case watch showcased in this video. I really like it and i wonder if that is something i can still get with the part number, etc. Thank you..

I got a deal on a BN0151 (blue) a month ago. It's on a blue/orange NATO (which are hard to find). A blue watch is a different look on my wrist, but it's growing on me.

It grew on me so much, I bought the black version on an aftermarket bracelet.

I went with the Citizen Promaster Diver BN0191-55L over this model because I could not get over the look of the minute hand. (Is that a rocket ship or a certain anatomical part?) The hands on this model seem too short, which is not a problem with my BN0191-55L, Orient Ray II or Orient Triton. I have 12 Eco-Drives and the quality control is extraordinary, which has not been the case with my Seikos. My latest Seiko is a SUN037 Kinetic GMT. When it arrived, I thought I finally had a Seiko with perfect alignment and finishing. When I was admiring it with a magnifier is when I spotted the hair under one of the indices. It can’t be unseen.

Great review and info. Where did you get those bracelets? Any info on reference number?

Wearing my JDM Global Marine for the occasion and gotta love how it's built to such tight tolerances for the price, shop around cause you can find the SS bracelet version for as low as $270 on eBay.

The cheapest way to get one of these is to just buy the rubber strap version (~$140) and then buy the bracelet off of eBay (~$105). I've considered it but I already have a few quartz divers.

Awesome review, thank you. I must agree... the two Citizens I have are fantastic. I love Seiko, but Citizen is certainly far better in terms of QC.

This has been on top of my “next to purchase” for 2 months now. Hopefully pretty soon!😄🤞

This is definitely a legend!! No doubt

I'd just buy the BN0150/151 and buy the bracelet if you needed it vs paying that price to import. I think Hurley Roberts sells the bracelet for $130. I bought the BN0151 for ~$90 on an Amazon sale, so the bracelet would be more than the watch for me. Love the watch.

Can you at all teel me how to find out the model of my citizen manuel wind from 1975.it is stainless steel with a stainless screens date adjust all manuel. It was about 590 dollars at the time. I also wonder what it would be worth today? The glass stood about 4 maybe 5 Mm above bezel and it could be accessed through the rear. The glass was quartz and very thick. It had luminous markings for time reading at night.it was 21 or 25 jewels

Can someone guide me? I am a G shock user and also learning diving. Now, I want a proper diving watch. I am aware quartz is pretty reliable under water but I do not remember when I last changed the battery of my G shock. So that doubt always exists when I take it under water. I go with a group so someone is there for support if my watch stops for any reason. Is there a reason why Citizen uses Eco drive for dive watches? Is this more reliable than an automatic dive watch? Please help me with the correct information.

I own citizen divers since 1995 it cost 2k php.. Still using it until now complete with day, date... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

I have the blue version of this watch on the rubber strap. Can you advise where you obtained the oem bracelets from? I’ve not been able to find a vendor for them

I just bought the same watch and ordered the bracelet. It is on back order, but I was told it might take a couple weeks. Some of the reviews here suggest a couple months. bands.hurleyrobertsservice.com/products/band-pins-combo-citizen-watch-bracelet-silver-tone-stainless-steel-part-59-s06105-with-band-to-case-pins

The perfect one watch collection item,except it needed a 22mm lug size to show more proportioned ...I usually wear it with 22mm silicon straps or 22mm Nato's ;)

I've had this watch for two years, was perfectly fine. Unfortunately now after two years my battery seems to not charge properly anymore which is pretty sad and I guess repairing it would probably cost more than this watch is worth.... gonna buy the NY0087-13EE instead.

This is a really nice watch. Unfortunately, the Bracelet version is over twice the price of the rubber strap version. Besides that, its great. I only have 1 Citizen, a NY-0080 Fugu. It’s also really nice with no QC issues

I sleep with my kinetic tuna. I charge the lume in my desk lamp just before I go to sleep, and I can wake up at any time and easily read the watch. Even better than tritium 25 (I've never tried t100 yet)

Citizen needs to make an automatic version of this exact model without any changes. Well, perhaps the date wheel could be closer to the dial and a bit larger.

The ones they sell in Japan are Made in Japan and have different product code BN0156-56e. It still doesn’t justify more than double the price of this international model.

Great video, but dump the background music it’s distracting

I just received one of these (not Japan made) and I'm totally disappointed. Alignment of bezel/chapter ring/indices is slightly off. The biggest disappointment for me is that the seconds hand on mine hits in between markers. Can't stand that on quartz watches and that's why it's not a good idea to buy quartz online as you can not inspect it. I even asked them to check that before shipping it to me. Now I have to return it and file paperwork for refund of import fees paid, etc. Such a hassle. It looks like Citizens are also hit and miss when it comes to quality check. Maybe the Japan made have better inspection not sure. Nice watch and bracelet, but to me the most important part of a watch is the dial, that's what you look at all the time, and if there are issues on the dial, the bracelet and case quality don't matter much to me at that point.

The SKX got NOTHING on this watch. I dont care what any seiko fan boy got to say. I love seiko but they gotta seriously get there shit together because Citizen is stepping up there game as u said. I have one seiko automatic left in my collection. Its the bottle cap and its gaining 40 seconds a day. Im only keeping it cause its a gift from my girl. I love my seiko but no one wants to regulate it for me where i live. Im sick of having to pull out the crown everyday for half a minute. I got better shit to do!!! Quality control at seiko is pathetic and we are the biggest suckers to keep buying there watches. I will def consider buying the arnie black and white version if the second hand hits the mark. I sold my baby tuna pepsi after three weeks cause the seconds hand was all over the place ans the red on the bezel was faded Okay rant is over.
