One of the best watches ever. Nice review. Please ... for Pete´s sake ... remove that mesh strap. I never ever saw a strap so "not belonging" to a watch as this. What's with this Mesh Straps anyway? May be ... just may be .. on a Disney Princess Watch.

mate well done video! I ordered this exact watch. I'm worrying about the size it might be too big.. I have a 17.7cm wrist with 5.4cm diameter. Do you think it will fit? Another question why did you replace the original rubber band? I'm thinking to get a BARTON Canvas bands for the citizen if it won't be big.

Pregardt Thanks for the comment! You and I have very similarly-sized wrists. In fact, yours might be a tad larger than mine, so I think this watch will fit you great. The bezel also makes it wear a little smaller than the dimensions would otherwise suggest. I think it’s a very versatile watch. I replaced the original band mostly for aesthetics. I know there’s no rule against matching the band color to your shoes, but I would still try to do so with any sort of colored band. With a stainless steel band, I have no such inclination. With that said, the factory band is polyurethane, I believe. It’s comfortable and a little softer than what you’d find on, say, a G-Shock, but it’s not quite as soft and comfortable as a natural rubber band. One of the nice things about this watch though is that it fits many different types of bands equally well. I also often wear it on a perlon strap on the summer, and I think it would look smart on a canvas band. Since it has 20mm lugs, you’ll have a ton of options. Wear it in good health!

Citizen is my favourite watch company. They are leading in h.a.q. and solar movements, and their 9 series automatic movements are very nice for the money as well. Their lume is fantastic and they usually outclass Seiko on bracelets (Solid end links, scissor clasp and a dive extension for sub $500 pieces like the bn0156). I'm also a fan of their super-titanium. Too bad a lot of their cool models are oversized. Had to sell my BN0200 due to the 45mm size. Just doesn't work for a below avg. wrist.

It’s a phenomenal watch that gets more wrist time than my Seiko SKX or Vostok. The only thing that concerns me is that the bezel markings looks like they are painted on. So if they get damaged, you would have to get a entire new bezel (which seem to be hard to find). The brushed steel case makes it much easier to remove scratches on it than a polished one, making it a great tool and daily use watch. It’s got a stylish and unique look that won’t get confused for a SKX, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Great review!!!

I own this watch and like it very much. I don't agree with everything you say but that is your opinion and I respect that. My only issue is with the video noise. There is constant auto focus lens noise from your camera. Don't know what you are using but I would invest in an ultrasonic style lens that is virtually silent when auto adjusting. Just my 2 cents. I do enjoy your video's and look forward to future installments.

@chrisswatchbox7378

MrNiceGuy80x5 That’s a tough one. I’ve owned both. I would say it boils down to convenience. The Promaster is truly “ set it and forget it”, while the Ray II is a hacking, handwinding, automatic watch. The Ray II also feels a bit better made, but I prefer the slightly brighter blue (as opposed to green) lume of the Promaster. The lume on the Ray II is pretty good-I’m guessing it’s Seiko Lumibrite, but it’s not quite as generously applied as on Seiko divers. One more thing that probably has no practical impact: the Citizen is an ISO-rated dive watch rated to 200m, while the Ray II is rated to 200m. Both are probably fine for diving, but the Citizen is actually tested. If you’re looking for a real beater/dive watch with top/notch lume and convenience, go for the Citizen. If you’re looking for a slightly dressier everyday dive watch with real timepiece cred, go for the Orient.
