Amazing diver on the budget. For me is a Seiko killer!

@@estebalstigopopoluz Fairly subjective but considering the specs of this watch, it’s a solid value.

I love mine. Lightweight, smooth back and great lume. Accurate too.

I just got the same reference & I love it. Thankfully it's made of titanium as otherwise the watch would be pretty hefty given the rather large dimensions.

I wear this watch every day and I prefer it over my bb58 as it’s so lightweight, citizen are so underrated, any collection needs one of these

I might pick it up, always like a good citizen

Very well proportioned design. I love Citizen's Duratect titanium. Super scratch resistance.

Great review

Great price for a Titanium diver with in house movement!

Please comment on the Bezel sound and smoothness when using the part!

Great looking watch and wonderful review. That's how a proper diver watch should look like. Does anyone know if Citizen somehow offers this black piece with bracelet? The strap looks fine, but metal bracelet has its charm.

As far as we know, this is only available on the black polyurethane strap and the blue dial version comes on a bracelet only. They should fit of course, but we do not know if they're sold seperately. Straight out the box it's black on strap or blue on bracelet I'm afraid.

Very good looking diver watch. Citizen brand is soooo underrated. Many of their watches are far superior than Seiko/GS.

This with crown guards and an Eco-Drive movement would be great.

Initially I was looking at Seiko Prospex SPB143. Now I know this is a contender with higher technical specifications, and much cheaper too. Both also paying respect to their former diver watch.

Great looking watch, often Citizen under report the accuracy, they are normally within a tighter range than stated.

Very true! This, plus later models we had for reviews, performed well within the claimed accuracy.

okay, the pricing is also very reasonable.

The narrator sounds like Tristan Farnon from “All Creatures Great and Small”.

This is so tempting. I know it’s going to wear great on the rubber strap. But I also know I will want to wear in on the bracelet, and that I will be disappointed, because the male end links will make it wear just badly for my wrist size. Those extra mm in each side adds up quite a bit when the lugs doesn’t curve down much (or the caseback protrudes)

That's always something to consider with any watch, indeed. The wearability between straps or bracelet can be very different, and not just because of the material but also due to construction and fitment.

I have this watch. The only negative is the size of the crown. Hard to grip and not proportioned to the case. Otherwise, this thing has seiko beat as the bezel pip lines up all the time.

@@HarryUnchained it uses a silicon hairspring for less friction and longer maintenance intervals. A reduced beat rate is what allows it to last 80h I believe.

The number one requirement on a watch is that it keeps time. This one apparently doesn't. 30 seconds off per day is 15 minutes a month. Fail...

Crazy how you didn’t mentioned the absurd rotating bezel sound it makes. Does sound like it’s made of tin. I get it, it’s titanium. I ordered two just to make sure it wasn’t a one off problem. Update: I returned both. The rotating bezel sound is not for me. Cringe.

Difficult to wear? 🤔 It's inarguably light and consists of standard diver dimensions. And edit: the full titanium set sells for $450 USD on a good sale from an AD these days. Hardly overpriced at that amount for its features vs flaws of a small crown and unsatisfying bezel action.
