Citizen: The Watch Out with Bradley Hasemeyer | Review Promaster Tough BN0241-59W

[@danielsavadel2151]

I bought one during a black Friday sale Citizen was having. Been wearing it for about six weeks. They have been improving this watch for over 20 years. Most recently the changed the numerals on the dial, added drilled lugs and improved the clasp. The most comfortable watch on a bracelet I have. Crazy lightweight and a great shade of green. Anti magnetic, waterproof, shock resistant. Just leave it in the sun for 4-5 hours and your good to go for about 15 years. Super legible day or night.

[@bhaz]

Yessss. I really loved the chance to test this one out!

[@chandanm196]

How much did it cost during the black Friday sale?

[@danielsavadel2151]

@@chandanm196 Sorry for the delay. I think I paid 425 or $435 USD

[@NhatHuyNg]

May i ask what your wrist size is? and if it fits perfectly?

[@mmal253625]

I just bought the dark gray version and can’t wait to start wearing! Your review helped push me over the edge. Great job. Long Island Watch has it for $432 + i had rewards points with him to get for less!

[@djm243]

Been thinking about a new Citizen for a while Bradley and just hit the go button on Citizens website. All I need to figure out is how do I hide yet another watch from the wife !!!!

[@Max-Green]

About 9 years I am totally happy with my JDM Green Promaster Land PMD56-2951. So green (not khaki) Tough i like pretty much. Thank for review and best wishes from Siberia!

[@Max-Green]

upd. about the price. divide on years. lens is still perfect as new. tech too. case slightly worn but ok.

[@RedwoodAggie]

These are nice looking. I need to get hands on with one. I do sort of wish Citizen released an automatic version too, but Eco-Drive is solid. I love field watches for the reasons mentioned in the video. I've been mostly wearing field watches for 30 years!

[@bhaz]

Right?! Field watches are bulletproof! The ST material really makes this a winner. You'll love it.

[@jrsoldit]

Got this a couple of days ago. My first Citizen. Loved it on sight; great design and fit. Wish the date window had a magnifier or easier to see.

[@FT__Cool_Stuff______-of5pi]

That's the first Citizen quartz watch I've EVER seen where the second hand doesn't line up quite right.

[@citizent6999]

such a nice looking watch - I saw one recently. Well presented Bradley, thanks.

[@bhaz]

And thanks to you!

[@DoctorWessamAtif]

Hello, thanks for the video. Any idea how can I order one and have it shipped to the Philippines? Citizen websites only got the US listed on it. Thanks.

[@sebastianskopek]

great review, just perfect! thank you

[@krasnaludek298]

Great looking timepiece. 👍🏻

[@fernandoa6279]

Is possible change battery or reactor ?

[@lefterismic3978]

What will happen when eventually the battery has to be replaced? Won't be a hard job to do?

[@valontony]

Your not supposed to open the watch! It's printed on caseback to be service by Citizen Service Center only! It's a single piece monocoque case construction! To maintain its high efficiency and accuracy they only want their trained technicians to replace their batteries which supposed to Last over 10 years!

[@efreutel]

20-25 year power cell lifespan as long as you keep it charged.

[@efreutel]

Monocoque case construction. There is no case back. Everything is inserted/removed from the crystal side. You simply send the watch to the official Citizen Repair Center in 20-25 years for a new power capacitor.

[@rm9sbg93zxjzg]

Why no white dial and radio controlled like in japan? PMD56-2952

[@boyu213]

The dial is so cool❤

[@danielsavadel2151]

Also mine came with a six year warranty.

[@jiehan6232]

Could anyone tell me how to change battery?I know it’s eco drive but with the case don’t know how to open it

[@YoManSan]

In order to replace the capacitor, you'd have to open it from the front, obviously.

[@danielsavadel2151]

Battery should last 15-20 years

[@SpeedNAngels431]

You send it back to citizen for service. Their customer service is second to none!

[@akash_goel]

Why don't the second hands align with the dial markers? Seems like terrible QC on an otherwise brilliant looking watch.

[@efreutel]

This watch has a deliberately distorted single dome dial. That, plus parallax error from the camera makes it impossible to tell if the seconds hand is centering. The better version of this watch not sold in the USA has automatic needle correction. Watch checks itself and realigns hands and second hand as needed to keep them centered to the indices…

[@efreutel]

What we are really seeing here is an inferior model that Citizen USA jacks up for more money than the superior, flatter, more elegant and 300 meter water resistance - tougher- watch which you have to locate overseas - at a better price.

[@JeeGee114]

Shocking. My UK only version hits all the markers and is much thinner.

[@efreutel]

The UK version much more elegant plus WR of 300M versus 200M on this dog. Less expensive too. Once again Citizen USA screws it’s customers. This watch design-wise, is a dog. And the sctick in this video every bit matches the design of the watch. 🤡

[@ninja5019]

Очень красивые. Классный циферблат.

[@MrGrigs681]

I love the look of this watch but the monocoque case is a big negative for me. Rechargeable batteries do not last forever and when this one loses too much capacity to be reliable it will be a job to get it replaced. I just recently replaced the one in my 2009 Citizen Chandler and it was a $25 / 5 min job.

[@Profile659]

25 dollars is not a lot for a battery replacement

[@gyrovague]

Apparently the capacitors are now rated for '90 years'.

[@mourningcrows]

Nope. Citizen missed the mark on this one. I was so excited about this one because I love field watches, titanium, and the size seemed right for me. But I tried one on recently and it was so disappointing. I’ve owned the Promaster Tough with the monocoque case and also a JDM Promaster Mont-Bell. This was nothing like those. Both watches were thin. This one was way too thick. And what the heck is up with the pricing?? My Mont-Bell was around the same price, titanium, sapphire crystal, but it was also radio controlled. This one is just a basic Eco-Drive.

[@PvtCoward]

Secondhand is off...deal breaker.

[@iancraig6070]

Watch manufacturers are insulting the intelligence of the watch buying public with sky high prices.

[@shutterlag192]

Partly agree but they know that watches are already a completely unnecessary expense and therefore an inherently luxury consumer mindset. It’s essentially a worthless item that people just really want so they can put any price people will pay on it. That said I kinda want one. 😂

[@danielsavadel2151]

Keep in mind the entire watch , bracelet and clasp is made out of hardened titanium. The list price is 575 but I got mine for $430. Accurate within + - half a second a day. Many people say theirs has been running for 15-20 years with no battery or sevice. Anti magnetic, shock proof, waterproof.

[@ForlornFreddy]

Citizen USA - maybe you should spend less money on shtick and more effort on bringing in the superior Citizen models which you choose not to import to the USA. I have countless far superior Citizen models - current models- which you refuse to carry. Instead you import dog models which you sell for vastly inflated prices. Your business model sucks.

Nope - minimal functionality and 41mm is too small. Price is ridiculous...

Once again Citizen USA screws it’s customers. They refuse to distribute the thinner monocoque version of this watch. Titanium, 12mm thin, 40 mm, flat sapphire crystal and has much better WR : 300mm which is 150% better than the 200mm WR on this chunky mutt. You cannot purchase the better model in the United States. Citizen USA takes an inferior design and sell it for more money than the superior watch they refuse to sell to you. Way to go Citizen USA!! …and then trot out the clowns to hype this monstrosity …🤡🤡🤡
