THE ULTiMATE iN CLASSiC BiG HONKiN ULTRA COOL DiVERS: THE HOCKEY PUCK
i've wanted one of these for a long time, and it may have satisfied my need for any more watches. admittedly, i've already purchased some 50 amazing dive watches, so that's part of the reason, but this is such a satisfying 'hockey puck' (as it's called) for someone in love with giant legit dive watches, that it may be all i've ever needed. and if that's your thing, maybe you too. as a review, we already know it's huge, however because of there being no lugs, it wears shockingly well for such a huge watch (i'm a 7" wrist). while heavy and 18mm thick, it balances and sits quite well, if that's a concern. as for everything else, it's all good (as they say). no bezel alignment issues with this or any Citizen as with one other infamous Japanese powerhouse brand. in fact everything is superbly and accurately built and put together. the lume is stunning and equal to first class anywhere. the bezel is what diver nuts dream about: locked in, no backplay, perfectly aligned. that strap is a stiff one, like none other. but since this is foremost a world class diver, the strap qualifies as that and will after a half-dozen wearings conform to your wrist as if molded. personally i love the slight dome on the crystal, and in true diver fashion it is mineral glass to prevent shattering for use as a pro-diver. the bezel is one of the most enjoyable to dial, and even the 60 clicks are a joy...who needs 120. the only issue i should mention is one common to all quartz: the secs hand hitting the markers right on. after fully charged i've found it does one of the better quartz movement jobs of nailing markers...this one hitting right on virtually 100% of the time after a day of being charged (was hitting a little off, but after more of a charge it's amazing). Citizen is one of the best in this dept, tho i did need to return one of these (the yellow strap) a year ago over that issue. thankfully that wasn't the case here as i fell in love with this out the box. speaking of which, given that this was first offered in 2013, it's truly 'vintage'. not sure when this one was made, but it barely had a charge from being in the box. once sunlight hit it, it have a 2sec/2single sec movement, which means it had totally lost it's charge. after research i found when that happens, to charge it with the crown fully out for at least a minute, then if wanted you can keep charging with it in. that tells the watch to reset, and it will begin going in the normal undercharged 2sec intervals. at that point it was so low it took 10 hours under a fluorescent light to get to one sec intervals, and another few hours as well to hit the markers spot on. i've found that with solar watches, if they're low charged, even if not 2sec intervaling, they tend to be slightly less accurate on the markers (clearly an issue with me). Citizens are scads better at quartz/marker accuracy than that other Japanese maker, but the only quartz watches i've found to literally nail the markers with the sec hand are very high end: the $600 Citizen satellite controlled solar diver and the $1800 ($2700 retail) solar diver...both of which i have. do note, i love this $325 Citizen every bit as much as those, and it indeed has just as much wrist presence or more.

Purchased Used-Like New and saved a few hundred!!
Purchased this watch as used-like new for $355 and change and it was exactly that, unboxing had all the Citizen original packaging, the only thing missing was the hang tag, but otherwise perfect. Citizen has this watch on their site for $595 and currently on sale for $446 and change, so overall I am very happy with the purchase. The best part about saving this much money on another quality Citizen Professional Diver (have the green on green EcoZilla too) is that if it's not as advertised, you can send it back ... this one has a permanent in my watch case. The watch was completely dead on arrival, but less than a minute after exposing it to light, the second hand started the 2-second tick indicating a low battery and under bright light, it wasn't long before it was operating normally. Setting was a breeze and 12-hours later it is still running to the second with the Atomic reference ... all that to say, while Amazon has some great pricing, check out the Used Like-New when available. Highly recommend this watch series ...

CITIZEN WATCH
I LOVE THIS WATCH I ALWAYS WANTED THIS WATCH SINCE I WAS IN MY TEENS LOL 😆
F**.
It's pretty thick.
I just recently invested in this timepiece; its actually pretty nice watch. I will let you know that it is true about what other people mentioned about this, specific timepiece. Yes, it is pretty dang thick! The watch it self, not the strap. It's thick, but not thick thick. It kinda looks like the gravaton; (I hope I spelled it right?!) that ride from the carnival where it spins in circles and people get magnetized on the walls?! Yeah, that's it. So just picture the "Gravaton" on YOUR, wrist, and thats what this watch well look like; just not that big?! I'm a guy who happens to have small arms and wrists; so this watch isn't just for men; it can be for women as well?! This timepiece happens to be heavy as well. Again, not that heavy. Hell, that cellphone you got in your hands right now, is heavier then this watch; so if you cen carry that cellphone of yours everywhere you go, this watch shouldn't be an issue. Mark my words people. I'm telling this as it is; specific, down to the very last detail. This timepiece can be an very day watch. This is how I'm using it.

Excellent
I bought this watch in 2017 and purchased a stainless steel band. I have wore it as my everyday watch since. It has been a great performer and fits my large frame. It has been on many adventures in and out of water, snow and everything between. The solar battery is starting to go out started about 3 months ago.Hopefully I can get it replaced. I would definitely purchase again even at the current price.
