You’re so right about Seiko dropping the ball and having QC issues. With watches like this, Citizen has an opportunity to really sweep in and take a lot of Seiko’s business. One can only hope!

It's crazy how much value you get with this watch. ISO certified 200m water resistance, military heritage, hacking, hand winding, quickset day/date. All that for around $200. Fun fact, the dial still show's the old Miyota movement (8203) while the case back shows the correct model that is inside: 8204.

Here is a easy fix to the uncomfortable stiff watch band ! Put both band halfs (without the watch ) inside a cup curving with the cup walls , then pour boiling water into the cup covering the band halfs ! Let it sit for 4 - 5 minutes . Pour the water out and fill cold water into the cup for 2 minutes. After that the band will fit snug to your wrist !

Nice review! I've had mine for a couple years. I always liked them but with the original 8203 movement they didn't hack. The ones with the 8204 do so that's when I finally bought one. I highly recommend the Islander Jubliee. It fits perfectly, and feels really well made. It gives the watch an more 80's vibe. The watch is heavy with it on but it gives a nice blingy look.

This watch has been around for years and is very popular for a person who wants a genuine diver , tough construction ,proven reliability and classic looks with proven pedigree. I am not American but i get the impression Citizen watches are not that ubiquitous there. In Australia this watch is as popular as the SKX before the SKX become such a thing. Citizen i heard are the biggest watch maker in the world? Put it this way everybody down here knows Citizen and this watch should be up there with the SKX for icon status. Surprises me that it’s not more famous over there from other videos I’ve seen. You just can’t kill it, great watch, one of the best they ever made and still do apparently.

@@longobardialfonso8376 Hmm, I don't see that in this case as this one is the re-release with an update movement etc. As for the bracelet I always say in my videos that the area almost all watch makers skimp is on the bracelet and i typically will always change them out for a FKM rubber strap, better leather etc. I agree on the band. The original one sucked for sure.

That's not an authentic citizenship stap. It's a replica casio strap very cheap. I think you got ripped off. You can find these new in the US for around $200. Also, are you aware this is the lefty model? Thats why the crown is on the left. It's made to be worn on the right hand. They make these with the crown on the right side as well.

@DivingIntoWatches-jb5ri 9 ай бұрын
It’s not a left model. Citizen makes many divers with the crown on the left. This watch was discontinued and recently reintroduced with an updated movements. Thanks for watching. As for the strap I have tons of factory ones from different watch’s and grabbed this one just to make the point of the quality which is the same as this citizen. It’s not from a Casio it’s from Aqualand I have that I bought early in my service days.
