Ive got several diver's watches and bought one of these about 10 years ago. i have used it on about 100 dives, sometimes in very cold water and it has proved to be totally reliable. The rubber strap is perfect for wearing over a suit or looped through a BCD. It's dial is very easy to see in low light, and the bezel is much easier to adjust when wearig gloves. The computer functions are really handy. I also have an Analog Aqualand which is more exotic, but offers no advantages other than style, and the rapid ascent warning.

Nice review! I just purchased this Citizen JP2000-08E Promaster Aqualand Dive watch on eBay this morning. New with tags. It really is an amazing Dive Watch. I got a pretty good deal on it.

thanks! its nice to find good deals on watches you really like!

An Icon no doubt......However.....It,s a shame that the LCD Digital Display....With all the Bells and Whistles of Diving info.....Does not have a Backlight !!......Which kinda makes it somewhat redundant in the dark and gloomy depths of the big blue wobbly stuff !!!.......I still love it though ;)

A titanium eco drive version would be cool.

I believe this is the watch Jean Reno wore when he played Enzo Molinari in the free-diving movie The Big Blue (1988). Some people loved the movie, some people hated it. I am one of the people that loved the movie, and still do.

no, the one Reno wore is a first gen. Check this youtuber out: kzread.info/dron/TLsgHGNugaexiJ0wB72K7w.html he is the King of Aqualand on youtube

Thanks!!!

I can't find a 24mm band with the same look but with 1 extra hole. It's always a bit lose. Where did you get those replacement straps?

This is my second one, my first I bought in the Nineties broke it and bought a second gen. For actual diving the small window is quite useless, the cost of battery replacement is high. I wear it because I love the look.

I just purchased one of those watches, where can I purchase the straps

I need a the battries replaced and new gasket. I have bee told Citizen does not have the parts for 30 year old watch any ideas or help will be appreciated.

I wonder which model watch has been on more actual divers in the past 30 years. It's probably this one if I had to guess.

There's millions of 24mm straps. Also NATO would look cool on that.

Got this one after I saw it in the wrist of the oslo murder girl mystery

I have a question, that nobody has EVER addressed. The idea that the second had doesn't line up, seemingly only on SOME quartz watches, leaves me asking......"if a watch doesn't keep "PERFECT" time, and loses or gains as all watches do, then it makes sense that the second hand would sometimes be spot on and other times be off. As a watch is moving to let's say, "lose 10 seconds per month". then it is not only going to lose exactly 1 second at a time, or gain 1 second at a time. It's going to be off just a little all the time, right?

Sorry I don't fully understand your question. If you are referring to the second hand not lining up with the tick marks on the dial, this is usually because the second hand was not placed on the second wheel properly and it's out of alignment. It should still pulse 60 times per minute which moves the minute wheel and hour wheel accordingly providing there are no mechanical or electronic problems. Another reason it may not align with every tick mark is due to the weight of the second hand. Gravity has an effect on the hand movement so it might be aligned for the first 30 seconds but be slightly lagging behind on the second 30 seconds as the hand fights gravity. Could also be that the tick marks are not evenly spaced correctly on the dial. An out of alignment second hand should not have any effect on its accuracy AFAIK

Bro does the 3740 aqualand worth 105$?

Where to buy

The 2024 North America reedition comes with a new softer silicon rubber strap that’s light years better than the old style. No more ND Time table though. :(

Love this watch. i have 4 that work and the old onerous not work. i think they should the shape but get a digital face and bluetooth.

Citizen thought it was too inaccurate. Just bought one which luckily has the original ND strap. Spare straps with ND printed are almost impossible to find. Found one on eBay - but the price was around 100$.
