Men's Analogue Automatic Watch with a Rubber Band Promaster Marine

OK, to be short, this is a proper automatic watch with a very nice finishing, amazing classic look and very good overall quality for the price. Mine is quite precise and accuracy is usually around less than 5s per day, at this price range it is really difficult to find anything better. The bezel is perfectly aligned. The dial has a really wonderful colour. The lumen is not amazing but quite decent. The only downside to me is the blue strap, I think it steals the colour in the dial, and that's why I changed it to a black one. One cannot go wrong with this watch. I just like it more each day!

I had to return the first watch as the bezel had too much play and wasn't aligned properly. Chapter ring was misaligned too. Replacement watch had no issues. The watch itself looks great and like no other diver. The lume is bright and charges very quickly. The blue starburst effect dial looks amazing in sunlight. Overall a great ISO certified watch for what you're paying which is much better now that I've removed the rubber strap and put it on a Bond style Nato. Cheaper than the now ridiculously priced SKX too which isn't as well made in my opinion. 2024 update: This beast runs like a chronometer. Losing only a minute a week is unbelievable. I have the older 8203 module so it doesn't hack, but with this level of accuracy, you don't need it. I've also read that the 8204 hacking module, isn't as accurate. Upgraded to 5 stars and now with a solid, screw link jubilee bracelet and milled clasp from Long Island Watches, it got mistaken for a Rolex from afar. It's all the watch you'll ever need.

Nice automatic movement watch. Looks the part with lovely dimensions and a gorgeous blue sunburst dial and has amazing lume that shines bright and long into the night. Still running +15 seconds per day but hopefully that may settle down after a few months. Comfortable rubber strap with a good solid buckle. Only downsides fur me was the 60 click bezel, much prefer 120 click bezels and the mineral crystals which is easier to scratch but more shatterproof than sapphire crystal. Nice sub £200 timepiece and even better for £152 when I got it.

I have a few watches in my collection but no automatics. Mine are all quartz, I have three 'God Tier' Casio watches one of those is a G Shock, and I have a Timex Expedition that is pretty bulletproof. For my birthday a few months ago I wanted to buy myself my first automatic dive watch. I looked at Citizen, Seiko and Orient I really like all three brands but couldn’t workout what I wanted. I don’t have a huge amount of disposable income so wanted something really nice. I kept coming back to the Citizen Promaster, because I really liked the look of the bezel grip and the crown at the eight. I looked at the NY0086-16LE which is the Pepsi bezel and the NY0040-09W which is the yellow lume face. Sadly at the time on Amazon there were none of these available, then I saw the NY0040-17LE and I discovered I could do instalments on the payments. So, I decided that’s the one. When I opened the box and looked at the metallic dark blue dial, I was really happy with my choice, it is a really lovely watch. The blue rubber strap also was a factor in my choice and loved that too. Unfortunately, my eczema reacted to the rubber strap after a couple of weeks, but that’s not a huge problem as all my watches are on Nato straps anyway and I have loads in the draw so swapped out for a grey Nato and it looked really good. Then I looked at what straps work with the watch and nearly all the colours I have work, at the moment I have an army green strap and it looks fantastic with the blue face and yellow lumes. I have one gripe with this watch which isn’t a deal breaker but is just a bit annoying is the day-date window. Its white text on a black background which makes it a bit hard to read. I have a Casio MTD-1079D-1AVEF that I love and it has a black on white day-date window so… I am really pleased with my watch. This looks great, is comfortable the accuracy is very good too. Plus, I get a lot of compliments about it. When I had it on the Bond black and grey strap people really noticed it.

Good value for a perfect time piece

Citizen Promaster - Been looking for a reasonably priced automatic watch for a while and this one came up on sale for £160 and i'm so glad i got it. Love the dark blue face and black bezel. Its a bit smaller than i thought it would be which is good as i don't like bulky watches. Build quality is excellent, hasn't lost any time since i got it. Seen some negative comments about the strap but to be honest i don't mind it; for the money its fine and looks ok. I've ordered some nato straps anyway as i prefer them - for a tenner a strap it transforms the look of the watch. Bezel movement is firm and requires effort to turn, again this is good i don't want it turning every time my sleeve catches it or i knock it; i don't sit there spinning it like a fidget toy and if i need to measure time i'm confident it wont move. Overall i love the look of it, the crown at the 8 position is a nice feature too, more comfortable and you don't catch it on your wrist. Lume is good as far as i'm concerned ive had no issue reading the time in any light. Automatic movement is also great; nice and quiet and hasn't stopped or lost time since i got it. Overall this is a great watch that looks the part and doesn't break the bank. Even at over £230 i'd still consider it.

Nice watch but just too inaccurate for my liking

It's a great looking watch. The bezel is firm with no back play. The lume is bright and lasts a long time and it feels great. on the wrist. The strap is nice and supple and looks good with the watch. The Myota movement has the uni directional counter weight inside and it does make some noise when it whirring round. The odd thing is, it's say it has the 8203 movement on the bottom of the dial but the case back says 8204. This movement has hacking so when you pull the crown out to adjust the time the second hand stops so you can synchronise properly. I'm not sure they all now come with this movement but I'm happy this one did. Excellent watch, very happy.
