Used this for months out on Middle Eastern oilfields and intensive diving holidays - stands up well, tough as nails, goes well with 5.11s, neoprene suits or a suit! Excellent performance at a very modest price - comes recommended.

Hey Nick! I got this watch as a 21st birthday present based on your review of it, and I just wanted to say how happy I am with it! Thanks for such a thorough review and all you do for the gear community!

Keep doing the watch reviews Nick, love the variety. Thanks.

A small paperclip works well for pushing the pins on the quick adjust.

Truth be told, you're better off with this than any other budget diver. Yes I said it, even the SKX. I don't see what the big deal is with Seiko divers anymore. Almost all of them have misaligned chapter rings, sometimes you're paying twice as much for some of their divers.

I agree with that. I know there are a lot of automatic snobs out there, but I'm sorry... Why Seiko continues to put the cheap ass 7s26 in their watches is beyond me. They should offer hand winding and hacking in all of their movements. How much more would it be for them to use a 4r/NH movement? And there is the accuracy issue. Automatics are great, but unless you have a thousand dollar watch they are really just over expensive pieces. The saying is true that if you have an automatic watch then you know what time it is, but if you have two automatic watches then you have no idea. I'll take the watch that is as accurate per month as an automatic is per day. As soon as the caliber 0100 is released in watches next year then I can say I really have the most accurate timepiece money can buy without a radio signal. Seiko can keep their cheap automatics and rabid fanboys. I'll wear watches like this that are more reliable, than you very much.

Hi Nick , greetings from across the pond! .

Received today and couldn't be happier. Owned a lot of seikos over the last couple of years and this lume is as good as and I don't have to wind it!!!!. Really appreciate your reviews and humour, keep it up. 👏

For you guys who need more information than what's in this video: Awarded ISO 6425 approval, it is the ultimate diving companion, featuring WR200, large, easy to ready dial and markings, screw lock crown, and unidirectional bezel to prevent accidental turning underwater.

Thanks for mentioning the bezel. Sooo many guys say the unidirectional is ISO approved?, their are now a few ISO standards and the Swiss have made their own, as to be expected but only ISO counts when I'm short diving. What you listed at the end is fine to correct the previous "unidirectional" word but in Scuba/Diving clubs in Australia we say "safety" bezel, meaning minute anticlockwise bezel that's all you need, and readers will know your in the know . Back to the Promaster, the minute hand let's it down but the lume overall and "Eco Drive" saves the watch 6/10. Cheers J. Brisbane, Australia.

I would definitely take a look at this watch. I have the Citizen Promaster Diver BN0151-09L and I love it. I also have a 20 year old Citizen quartz that still runs like a champ. It spends most of the time in it's case because it looks to tiny on my wrist.

Awesome job Nick! As a gear geek and a watch nerd it's great to see the variety of content. Even better you're a fan of Citizen. Would love to see you do a good, great, bad and ugly, of the Citizen Nighthawk. I know it's been a little bit reviewed to death, but it would be refreshing to get your take on it, and there are some different variations that haven't gotten as much coverage, mainly a radio control version, which checks all the boxes.

That's on my list for sure!

I agree about the polished segments of the bracelet. Citizen and seiko are hard to beat. Lately the German watches are really catching my eye. Have a look at some of the Laco timepieces in the 400 to 500 dollar range.

I just bought one of these with the gray dial and bezel ring on Woot for $136. At that price it's a steal and a great watch. This kind of sale happens often with Citizen watches so if you can be patient you can eventually find a really good buy somewhere.

I've got this watch arriving this week. I'm a HUGE Citizen fan. The second I saw this watch I knew I had to have it. They just knocked the ball out of the park with the design of it. As far as it not having an expanding clasp... Yeah, I can live with that. How many people actually buy these types of watches to dive with? It's like the people who buy the huge 4x4 and never ever take it off road. They just want the look and appreciate the functionality, but generally they are just going to be wearing it under their sleeve. Serious divers are going to either replace the bracelet with a silicone strap or buy a watch that comes with a strap that more easily adjusts. I really don't think that is a deal breaker. The only thing they could have done better to this watch is put a domed AR sapphire on it, but that is an easy upgrade to do. I'm really excited about receiving mine. I have that same Planet Ocean in the 42mm size and I think I like the way this Citizen looks almost as much as the Omega. They really just nailed it with this one. Thanks for the great review!

i bought this watch it is amazingly accurate, is a decent size and looks amazing in the light. like i don't see the need to buy an automatic because they all suck at time keeping.

Nice looking watch! Going to pick this one up anytime soon. Great review, love the accent!

Nice watch, I wonder if its going to replace the Citizen Eco-Drive BN0151-09L.

Nick when I saw that Lume, I think I just fell in love with that watch, it feels so fancy. Should I watch the rest of your watch reviews just to see their Lumens? Probably!

Nice, i've been waiting to see this review from you. Cool watch, definitely interested in adding a solar powered watch to my collection. If it was only smaller like you said (ideally 40mm like the sub would be perfecto) AND i would of immediately bought. 45mm is just way too big for my personal preference. Wish they would offer two sizes! Great review and thanks for showing!!

Awesome review! I definitely know what watch to get now!

I’m definitely I’m adding this watch to my collection

+1 Got this watch as a birthday present and it's great!

I got myself one but bezel is gun metal, BN0198-56H. It's not as flashy as the blue one. Very understated and subdued. It looks big on my small 6.5" wrist. Wondering if I should put it on a nato strap so it fits better on my skinny wrist.

I love, love, love Citizen and their Eco-Drive movement. Completely bulletproof. However, I wish they would release a model with smaller dimensions. This watch would be absolutely killer at 40mm.

I just bought this from Jomashop... I wish it didn't have a date complication though. They should've removed the date window, unless they put in a perpetual calendar too. It also only hits around 50 to 60% of the indices. Lastly, it seems a bit slower than my Citizen AT8124. After hacking it to match the seconds hand of my AT8124, it was slower by around 3 seconds after a few days. But i found out that the at8124 actually runs faster than atomic time while the promaster is just slightly faster than atomic time. I do wish they kept the orange minute hand from the BN0151, it could've been the trademark of promasters, and would've made this model stand out a bit more.

Odd to see the watch in wearing now being reviewed. I would like to point out that while the cristal is mineral it is probably the best mineral i have ever had, 0 scratches as of now, has yours scratched even a bit?

I freshwater swim all summer and I have had a Tudor, a Timex W/screw down crown and I will take delivery of one of these. That is how much I have spent on watches since 1975.

How do you feel about the citizen pro master with the different band and different hands.

I have the this exact watch and also the black dial version.. Very accurate

Love watching your videos. How about doing a Seiko SKX007 vs Citizen NY0040 comparison? I know you pretty much focus on quartz watch review but these two michanical watches alway go head to head and I have yet to see a really good video comparing them. Again, love your vids and always look forward to the next. Thanks for the great channel.

Solar watches are the best. I have 2 gshocks and they kept booting my smart watch off my wrist only because I hated charging vs never having to worry about it. Nice watch either way.

I wish they include the date complication in this watch. I hate adjusting the date on watches, which is why I bought the Citizen AT8124 with perpetual calendar.

Eco drives are a great value for money. Love citizen watches.

Mate, I love the New Yorker accent, the factories in Malaysia have improved over the past few years and we can see it in the Seiko and Citizen product. Only one gripe, Citizen Eco's will fail at about 7 years, I know as I have bought them for my wife and Son in the past. Their not worth sending back for refits, so a dilemma arises with the owner. Clever marketing on Citizens account it would seem. All that said what a great review. Cheers from Brisbane, Australia.

I like that black macho background.... Nice relaxed style Nick... Happy marriage secret ? Who knows.... Fascinating watch.

I don’t mind bracelets with pins. Of all the ones I’ve sized, the only two that gave me trouble had screws.

Nice video. Do you think the watch with the bracelet is too heavy for a 7.5-inch wrist? Thank you.

I own this watch. It looks great and build quality is solid. I have an Omega speedmaster reduced, a Seiko Alpinist, a Hamilton Jazzmaster, a Seiko Flightmaster. and a couple of vintage Seiko speedtimers. The Bracelet has solid end links and beats the snot out of everything I own except a couple of Hamiltons I sold and a Glycine Combat sub which it is equal to. Comparing it to my Seiko SKX is pointless. Only the Alpinist gives it a run for it's money.The dial is a deep pie pan and the watch is about 11mm thick. Got it for $80 at a pawn shop. The Omega bracelet is loose and jingles plus the bezel is gold filled so I can't wear it with confidence.

How does it stack up against the Orient Ray II?

"...I gotta be a little but nuts to choose this guy over this one." BRILLIANT! But, come on Nick, an Omega Master Chronometer is a whole different category.

It's good to note that since it's "Divers" 200m, it complies with ISO testing (that individual watch itself was tested) but should be also be noted that 200 meters water resistance is good for only up to shallow recreational diving. Anything used during deeper diving (deeper recreational diving, professional diving, basically anything over 100 feet) should probably be at least 300 meters water resistance.

TrilobiteTerror I have used the older design of the Citizen Promaster Diver for 10 years as a strickly diving watch with regular diving at 30 to 50 meter. Upon inquiry to Citizen I was told the seals were the same strength between the 200meter and 300meter, the difference was the pressure it was assembled at. At ten years the older Promaster failed and I am excepting a 1/2 price offer from Citzen's repair department.

I like it..

I bought this watch in Ontario, canada at peoples jewelers store in 2017 and it's been amazing,peoples has excellent service and top quality knowledge about this peice ,I've seen and heard so many bad stories about fake time peices like this one frankly this scares me,I would suggest buying local at a authorized citizen dealer like peoples jewers, you get to physically talk to people who know this watch and if you have any problems you know your in good hands.Buying big ticket items like this should be purchased from trusted sellers that are local and this will also support your community, fakes are fakes and they are not genuine ,a lot of online sellers with 99.9 percent selling numbers dosen't mean anything if there buyer's got fooled by a fake watch,remember unless your a professional on these things they can be extremely difficult to tell the difference .The real deal has built in qualities.This has been the nicest time peice I've ever owned. Be smart and good luck.

Sapphire is not used in actual dive watches for safety reasons, but honestly how many people will actually take this diving.

Good review! I consider to get this watch. But I am a bit concerned about its use of mineral glass instead of saphire. But according to what I read mineral glass is also pretty scratch resistant so it may not be a dealbeaker. I also wonder about the fact that this watch is available under two numbers: bn0191-80L and bn0191-55L. The latter has higher price but still uses mineral glass. These two are identical and I can't see any difference between them.
