Citizen JV1005-02W Promaster (Saltzmans Watches)

[@laurencehogg6010]

Thanks so much for showing. I've been interested in this since the reveal and have been waiting for a trusted channel to cover it properly. Take care.

[@urbanracer032]

If Breitling refuses to make a new Aerospace, this will be on my list.

[@ClevaTreva]

This is now on my radar - thanks!

[@peteroakes1206]

Acquired one in Dublin, Ireland a few days ago. More expensive here than prices I see in the US. The mode switching could be better, but no more complicated than a casio. The lum is stunning and striking. Playing around with it over next few days. Good addition to the watch collection.

The MIP and size remind me of the Tissot T touch connect solar. Not a lot of ana/digi watches have the MIP display as yet and it gives a distinctive look.

[@alexsdg3441]

Love that LCD (is it LCD) different features and functions. Never seen it done like that before. Casio should come out like that. thanks for the review, Rob.

[@AntCar-z4s]

I have had the LE camo version for about two weeks and thoroughly enjoy it. Takes some time to figure out how to work the functions but once you do it’s easy. The digital display does light up but it’s not very bright. Just a solid, fun watch that you won’t worry about.

[@snowyraiderss9895]

Just purchased this green model today.

[@MrGeirSteinar]

Totally agree on the titanium - that would be super awesome 👍

[@MegaBlackley]

Love this watch. Thinking about getting it and putting it in a go bag as a SHTF watch. The Eco Drive seems perfect for that.

[@stoundingresults]

That lume is radioactive level cool

[@aaronswatches]

Feel like it’s the ULTIMATE ana-digi. Need it. Blue is in my cart 🙏🏻

[@peteroakes1206]

It is the best anno & digital i have seen, and I have been keeping an eye out for one for 6 months.

[@macguyverson9370]

I agree titanium would be awesome. I may need one of these at some point.

[@fuloplehel]

I have this watch, the black dial promaster land jv1007 on the rubber band, very confortable, the MIP display is very nice. What I miss is the radio controlled time adjusting. I have other promasters and the atomic time is great to have. The backlight is not the greatest compared to my older mudmaster, but the lume is great, everything is lumed including the citizen logo. The movement is very accurate, mine is +3 seconds on the first month of use, synchronized with a multiband casio. There is a light meter. It was on sale for about 500 euros. Citizen also launched another interesting watch, the promaster geo trekker, without the digital display but radio controlled. Maybe you have the possibility to review the geo trekker in the future. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Doorbeam]

Hi the promaster with geo tracker and radio control, can you please provide the model number ?

[@sandvik4604]

Backlight LCD works only when LCD mode is Time and Calendar (Cal) or World Time (WTM)

[@gregs.8895]

ad popped up yesterday for the blue one. Really looks cool, standard citizen skyhawk vibe. Course I wish they would drop em to 40, but hey, I get it.

[@devildoug216]

I want a black dial in the black case. I really like everything else about this watch though, between legibility, lume and overall appearance. But i will have to get the gen one because I don't like the black bezel on the stainless case.

[@loggoggles]

Well, for me it is The Watch, it is hard to be interested in any other watches now. Easy to use, even with gloves. Chronograph with 40 hours totalizer. Easy to set using buttons, not crown(because there is no crown), every hand is aligned perfectly

[@redletterl78]

I don’t need it but I sure as heck want it - badly! Perfect tool watch.

[@peteroakes1206]

You may not need this watch but you should still buy it just in case...

[@demonslayer9551]

I like this for a daily tool watch for sure. I’ll wait until they go down in price in a few months

[@broinsocali]

Just added the JV1007-07E to my collection

[@tonyrc49]

there should be a red backlight for the digital via a hidden button at the 10 or 12.

[@SiDCrAzY]

The lume is amazing. Really wish it had backlight though.

[@lucacadianalbert]

These are so damn cool...

[@kresimirpleic]

I hope they make one without the compass bezel in 41mm.

[@MrBacchus18]

Looks like a winner, kinda a beast but tooltastic.

[@KyleFromDuPage]

Huge miss to not have ABC. Protrek beats it for half the price. A shame too, as I love Citizen.

[@demonslayer9551]

Agreed. My solar protrek is still kicking and has more function than this. But this design does look cool. I’ll probably get it if I find it for $300-$400 price range in a few months

[@CircassianRider]

I prefer this to a G Shock

[@MegaBlackley]

I will say that the pushers are a little disappointing/deceptive, they have what appears to be knurling that indicate they are screw down but they are not. Not a big deal, but a small blemish in an otherwise awesome package.

[@MidEnginedFan]

No, the size needs to come down to below 50mm lug-2-lug.

[@jiehan6232]

Just need a full digital version on this

[@krown4d]

A Alpinest but citizen

[@Optimistic450]

$700 for a quartz watch, ok,so your paying for what’s on the outside, not inside, in other words,a bracelet.

[@redletterl78]

Wrong. It’s solar quartz movement with a raft of functions, not some cheap movement that takes a $5 battery. Citizen are absolute front runners in the solar game.

[@Optimistic450]

@ …it’s a quartz watch,a module that didn’t require someone to sit there and polish every part or spent hours and days assembling, I’ve got a few eco drive watches and there very nice bracelets, but for $700 you can do better than just a bracelet.

[@Todd_Whitehouse]

@@Optimistic450 So if it's not an automatic movement, it's just a thrown togther piece of crap quartz movement? That's just a dumb take.

[@demonslayer9551]

The retail price is never what you actually pay. Seen these already for $450-$550

[@1250GSX]

​@@Optimistic450 So a 9F Grand Seiko movement is just a quartz (for example). You really sound like you know what you're talking about.
