  • Helo friends, let’s have a look at watch I have real soft spot for, The Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive BN0159.
    It is not a favorite watch in my collection, it is not the prettiest, or most refined, but it is a watch I would trust my life with.
    There is something about these Eco-Drive promasters that makes you wanna believe they can survive it all…

      Thank you very much, hombre!!! I actually thought and was planning to get the black one at first… but then I got to see the red one in person and exactly like you say, it looked so much better in person, that it got me… and its not the first time the stock fotos of Citizen, Seiko or even Casio look so much worse than the actual watch… I don’t get it 🤷‍♂️ like who else could afford good Marketing than them? 😂

    this was really well put. this watch is indeed a watch first, a no-nonsense practical watch. it's not pretty so you won't be tempted to baby it, scratches don't show that much on the brushed case, big crown at 4 that is easy to use but not uncomfortable, solid feeling so it makes you trust it and it's iso certified.
    even its details just make it a better watch like when you get a light reflection on the crystal the indices on the dial and bezel reflect the light too and it becomes even more legible, on most watches reflections are bad, but here it doesn't matter.
    and it does make you feel like a man, like a regular everyday normal man (as the song goes)

    • @WatchWatch-ck6xl
      @WatchWatch-ck6xl  Před 3 měsíci +1

      💯 thank you very much for saying that, hombre! This was exactly the message I was trying to share… There are watches, just like this one, that are made with a specific intention, not to look more expensive than it is or anything like that… but be what the manufacturer says it is… there is something strangely honest about these Promasters… I really like mine…
      Cheers for watching!

    Wonderful review, and I've added you to the ranks of my favourite watch youtubers. As for the Promaster: It is pretty in its own special way. I love the unique design, which stands out from many diving watches on the market. The shown red Promaster Eco-Drive is on my must-have list.
    BTW: The G-Shock GW-5610U modded with a metal case and bracelet from aliexpress makes me feel a little bit … adult-ish :-)

    I love my Promaster Diver. You are right in that it just about the ultimate in a no nonsense, tough, reliable watch. And it looks good! I like the 60 click bezels. I've never known why I need 120 clicks. I only use 60! I suppose it's a "feel" thing. You should check out the Promaster Tough. I think it may be my favorite watch. Titanium, drilled lugs, sapphire, ecodrive, nuclear lume and massive legibility.

    • @WatchWatch-ck6xl
      @WatchWatch-ck6xl  Před 3 měsíci

      Thank you very much! I was actually looking at that one not so long time ago and almost ordered it! I love the design, but I would like to see it in person first… that is exactly why I love/hate citizen… there is always more to get 😂 I really like what they have been doing lately.
      And completely agree with the 60click bezel… this the bezel I actually enjoy the most from all my watches!

    I also have a Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive (blue), and a Helm Vanuatu, and choosing between them is like deciding which child I love most. They're both true tool watches: simple, reliable, tough as nails, classic form-follows-function beauties. When the zombie apocalypse finally arrives, the zombies will undoubtedly kill me while I'm standing there deciding which one of them will be my end-of-the-world survival watch (and completely forgetting that I have an infinitely tougher and more accurate and reliable solar atomic G-shock right next to them).

    This is the perfect watch for me. I work as a surveyor on large construction sites. I quite often have to put my hands into water and mud to find the exact spot to survey. The water resistance takes care of that. I use heavy hammers while working. The offset crown keeps my wrist from having a perpetual open wound from the normal 3 o clock crown repeatedly hitting my wrist. The bezel lets me know how much time I have to spare at my current asignment until I'm supposed to be at my next task.
    Only downside that I can think of: I live in Scandinavia so wearing the watch under long sleeves and gloves during the winter months can cause the EcoDrive to run out of power...

    Bought the iconic NY0085 coke bezel from Jomashop as only Fugu is avaible in my country, Malaysia.
    Checking out this and the smaller diameter solar versions, they are good quality and attractive.
    Good choice in your purchase.
    If I were to nick picking on the diver series: minute hand is short in general.
    They can be bright in colour, broad and stout but often not long enough reaching to the minute markers to give accurate time reading at a glance.
    I do need to stare at the lume in the dark a tad longer to distinguish the 2 hands to read the time in pitch dark in the middle of the night.
    My Seiko Monster and Orient Kamasu are easy to read when relying only on the lume on the hands.

    Hmm...I was just looking for a everyday diver watch and saw your new video. I'm thinking of going to try it on at a nearby watch store. My first option was Hamilton scuba 40mm, but with it the lugs are quite long. I'm not sure about this one how the 44mm would feel, but I read in quite a few places that it seemed a size smaller and the price is 1/3 of Hami.

    • @WatchWatch-ck6xl
      @WatchWatch-ck6xl  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Definitely give it a go, it wears a lot smaller than the size suggests… and it really depends what you want… this is really a no-nonsense tool watch… the Hamilton is a different beast… and probably more useable for more formal occasions… this one however, will never let you down, there is something weirdly honest about these ecodrive promasters… I am a fan 🤷‍♂️ but I appreciate they are not for everyone…

With little bit of shopping around you find the new promaster air gmt for around 600$ and that is a stellar!!!

    Wish Citizen made the current model Promaster Tough Titanium in this perfect red color, I wear the dark gray Tough day and night, love the watch love the brand. I came to Citizen Eco Drive the hard way, taking risks that can break your back (mine twice) or get you cuffed shackled and flown back to a foreign country by armed officers with attitude, accuracy reliability and durability are nonnegotiable. 30 seconds can change your life, my timing was off and it put my picture on a wanted poster in Central America, “You have a long road ahead of you my son” said the priest as he left my cell at my request. He was right but there’s one major difference, my timing is now accurate to the second and powered by the sun for the next decade, probably longer than I’ll be alive. Citizen has it’s own underdog cool factor vs so called luxury brands, it’s James Dean in New York before fame, it’s guys like this cat doing the review that prove the watch doesn’t make you cool you make the watch cool. Next time I bet my life I’ll be wearing Citizen, if I lose the bet my Promaster will survive the hit and show accurate time on my dead wrist. Great review, looks, humor and humility, like Citizen you have unlimited potential.

    In the entry level market, Citizen poops all over Seiko. I have an overpriced Seiko SNE583 ISO certified solar quartz diver. The supplied bracelet is garbage. Thankfully, Mark of LIW helps with his 3-link and 5-link bracelet and clasp upgrades. The insert was misaligned, forcing me to break the entire watch down to correct the misalignment. When you compare and contrast my Seiko with your Citizen Pro-Master, it's clear to me who is the winner in terms of value and QC: Citizen.
    I have a lot of mechanical divers. I am learning to appreciate quartz divers more, because it's nice to have a grab-and-go, accurate, shock proof, reliable quartz beater. I have an overpriced CWC RN 41mm M.O.D quartz diver on the way from Europe. Expensive, but due to the beautiful M.O.D Omega 300 style design and military provenance, I deem it worth it. It's going to be my designated daily tool watch.
    Thx for the review. Enjoyed.

      Thank you very much for watching and more importantly for sharing that! Citizen, and it hurts me to say it cuz I am a Seiko fanboy in my heart, especially lately, wipes the floor with Seiko in the affordable segment… it feels like they realize what gap Seiko left behind with the price increase and they take it seriously, listening to what they customers want… so now I am a Citizen FanBoy also…
      Most of my watches are mechanical, simply because I love them, but having a quartz (or few) completely makes sense and it spices the things up. Like you say, they are always ready, for anything, reliable and just easier to live with…
      Can’t be mad at you for getting the CWC 🤷‍♂️ it is a stunner… I recently got another quartz also, Lunar Pilot from Bulova and I just love it…
