New Citizen Stunner! | Citizen Promaster Ice Blue 200m Solar Diver BN0165-55L Unbox & Review

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Hey guys, looks like Citizen opened this up to the rest of the world. I spoke too soon!

[@ericparis224]

Awesome color way! For me it's Promaster all day every day! I'm getting the Islander Oyster bracelet for mine asap! Looks great on the metal

[@TheDanielduong]

Absolutely freaking beautiful! Citizen, is really upping their game. Character, modernity, and heritage in an affordable price point.

[@doohantallywhack8267]

Citizen is killing it. I would not buy another Seiko because of QC issues. I love citizens attention to detail. If they put sapphire on these id pay more and it would be unstoppable.

[@AnthonyVogt-t3t]

Mav, just wanted to let you know, I bought this watch right after seeing this review and I am loving it! Thanks again.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

I love mine as well😁

[@troll2637]

Same. I bought it after seeing this video.

[@Feartheminugs]

I was enamoured by the original blue and black ones, and only recently bought myself one, being the green face and bezel. I love these watches, and have to agree that this version is a handsome, and different colored dial than most divers. not to mention, the solar quartz movement makes it so it essentially never dies. Thanks for the video!

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Yeah I love these too and especially on the stainless steel bracelet. Just fantastic watches all around.

[@yavroy]

New to the channel, was looking around to buy a Promaster Eco-Drive...and lo and behold, your channel is a goldmine! Keep it up!

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Welcome aboard!

[@cgm246]

gorgeous piece! Citizen has been on a roll in going after seiko!

[@sami507-m8]

5:51 Actually, there is a model that came with a bracelet which is the BN0158-85X. I own it and it’s really a beautiful piece, the green dial and the darker green bezel with the white minute chapter ring really give it a look!

[@matthewfriend6672]

I just bought this very watch! Pleased as Punch! It’s beautiful and I love the clasp adjustability. Only disappointment is the lume change. I was looking forward to the blue lume with the green pip. Oh well, beautiful time piece just the same!😜😎👍

[@douglasneely9566]

Hi Maverick. Will Citizen's proprietary lume retain a decent amount of luminescence through the night? Appreciate your quality reviews, thanks! Douglas

[@limacuan]

these new colorways might be the push for me to finally own an eco drive diver, cool review as always !

[@rabadabadoo491]

That's a beauty, love the promasters

[@bruhreallybruh]

Thanks for the review. I just got this watch. I used your review. It's like a slight Tiffany Blue Rolex Yacht Master.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@glenpudney]

Same here, just got mine too, and I love it already. :)

[@balazshajdu3018]

Beautiful watch

[@sheepdog-kp9hb]

Make a 40-42mm eco bishes thanks

[@andyfrizzell4352]

Surely the green lume is because the colour pops with the blue in daylight?

[@MrDwaynelockett]

This is going on my wish list. Thanks, for the warning on the Amazon seller. Beautiful watch.

[@valueink]

Been debating between this and the grey one. Both great, this one seems to be more unique

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Agreed. They're is just something about that dial color.

[@dustinr16]

Citizen has really been on a roll lately releasing lots of fun and colourful variations of its dive watches. I just wish they’d start making some smaller watches in the 40mm range. The 37mm ladies variant is a bit too small. Most of their other Promaster divers are 44-45mm or larger. Thankfully the BN0150 series wears pretty good still despite its 44mm case.

[@Maximus1351]

Available right now on Amazon for $250

[@BlueJuice4U]

Jared and Kay’s have them on sale. Just ordered one.

[@bjornclaeys3266]

I have the black dial: the BN0150-10E. I LOVE IT! Amazing watch! But with alignment issues for the second hand. Is there a way to adjust this?

[@tancreddehauteville764]

No. Pot luck with second hand alignment.

[@bobmcmahon9528]

Very cool! Thanks for the review of this new diver. I have several Citizens and love the quality/value. Cheers!

[@maverickwatchreviews]

You bet!

[@howyduinyall7653]

Stunner

[@KemberSide]

I have the black face version, the JDM on the bracelet, and I love it. I'd think it would be SUPER fun if they did a bracelet JDM version of the black and GOLD bn0152.

[@louisc.9697]

Very cool. Has a Gulf Blue look to it. Thanks for posting this.

[@joseluisoky5098]

Un reloj muy bonito. ¿No da la sensación de que se le han olvidado poner el logotipo de Promaster?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

No habla Espanol

[@hectorthrills8193]

On the crown at least?

[@ivanceballos5169]

El logotipo se encuentra en la corona. The Promaster logo is on the crown.

[@ChristianDesmarais]

This one seems to be available in Canada everywhere now..

[@adamsexton7554]

I agree I think this dial is pretty awesome. The only thing I can't get past with Citizen is the bezel and the gaps between the teeth of the bezel. Just something about it that throws me off. I'd buy it today if it was a coin edge bezel.

[@Kingstonsmac]

Beautiful watch wow !

[@cardo6880]

This watch features a sapphire crystal dial window, which is highly resistant to scratches and provides clear visibility of the dial. Sapphire crystal is one of the most durable materials used for watch crystals. - this is the description the place I purchased from Says, is this not accurate?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

This doesn't have sapphire.

[@cqc556]

I want a pro master eco but I want sapphire. I don’t understand why they don’t make this configuration.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Sapphire isn't always the best material for a crystal.

[@michaelgreen4585]

Nice dial color

[@Io_Al-Ahmak]

I have noticed a lot of the new release Citizens have moved away from the blue lume, which isa pity

[@gezaerdelyi4476]

is it possible to get only the bracelet? i have the blue dial with the rubber strap

[@maverickwatchreviews]

It is but you'll need to reach out to Citizen.

[@tancreddehauteville764]

You can change the bracelet and replace it.

[@matsuda150]

I got my first Citizen watch because of another review from Maverick. I guess I have Citizenship now. BTW, this new watch can also be purchased from Citizen USA for $450 retail.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Yeah it looks like Citizen decided to carry this on their USA site now..Thanks for the update!

[@troll2637]

Yah man. Sometimes Maverick is the only guy who has reviews of certain citizen watches. Others are in Japanese and are promotional videos where people talking about the watch, without showing the watch. And this watch is available in citizen Canadian site too. Along with the Grey one.

[@Timetrends-n5t]

Nicey but 180grams, need this in Ti

[@maverickwatchreviews]

I would love to see this or any of the other colorways in titanium as well!

[@EOrtiz]

Just picked one up at a Macy’s watch is amazing

[@PortugalCarp]

Great looking watch, just a pity about the lume being green, thanks for the upload. I do have a question. As you mentioned, the dimensions across the Promaster family are all the same, would the bezel insert of the BN0168-06L fit the BN0151-09L?

[@Uncle-Rob]

The Amazon description of watch specs claim sapphire crystal

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Amazon is wrong.

[@Uncle-Rob]

@@maverickwatchreviews you are correct. One of the Amazon photos of the back of watch did NOT show sapphire.

[@Chris-de2qc]

Never trust Amazon

[@fakenewsisthenews3542]

Hey Mav, it looks like the numbers in the bezel insert are also blue in the video.

[@howyduinyall7653]

Anybody else having difficulty replacing the pins after shortening the bracelet? HELP

[@bruhreallybruh]

Yes, the bracelet is so so. Slightly bend the pins so they go in at an angle, or just put it on a strap. I put mine on a grey tropic strap.

[@khole15]

Aand as usual Citizen makes a watch that is too big for most people... WHy do they keep doing this? i dont get it According to statistics the average wrist size is about 6.5 to 7 inches.

[@flexathillcrest1]

I was just eyeing this online! And then you do a review. 😅 good and bad. Now it will probably be sold out 😅

[@degl4339]

Why? WHY no sapphire? Makes no sense to me in that price range. Nice review, thanks.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

@@villagranvicent I hope you enjoyed your very brief time on my channel asshole...lol.

[@Feartheminugs]

often, mineral crystals are better for diver watches, as sapphire is more susceptible to shattering when under high pressure, so when diving, it is better to have a mineral crystal, as a crystal failure on sapphire will result in a ruined watch.

[@ChristianDesmarais]

@@maverickwatchreviews But he did end saying "nice review", no? Why are you so rude?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

@@ChristianDesmarais He did say "nice review" but on other comments for other reviews he was *very* rude. So poof, he's gone. Maybe trust that I know what I'm doing when I ban someone :)

[@chunchin1317]

Macys have it

[@sacredclown4179]

Thank you, my friend, your passion has helped me just pull the trigger on this watch, one question are there any indicators that it's a JDM model?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Most JDM watches are firstly made in Japan and will say so in tiny print under the six o'clock index. Secondly they are only sold on their respective company's Japanese website. Turns out this is NOT a JDM Citizen watch.. It just came out on Citizen's Japanese website first and then I guess Citizen decided to sell this outside of Japan as well.

[@68ctcb]

What’s JDM?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Japanese Domestic Market

[@eddiejones.redvees]

I also have spent a lot on watches over the last few months but my wife keeps sending me watches to look at I found it Easier to give up smoking then buying watches so I’m starting to buy more clothes like she does to maybe slow me down 😅

[@Danilo-jx8du]

I’ve been wanting to buy the steel bracelet for my blue one.Until now I can’t find it.

[@JMK15]

Mineral with AR coating? Really?? What a bummer.

[@militaryminedid2011]

I had the original black version and sold it last year. It wore well and the bracelet was one of the most comfortable I've had. The seconds hand not hitting the markers was the deciding factor to sell. Thought I could live with it, but no. Seeing this new blue version has me thinking about purchasing it. Thanks for the video!

[@gundam0816]

Not sure why you didn't show the clasp. It was hard to tell if it was milled or pressed. That's an important factor when buying watch. Thanks for the video

[@maverickwatchreviews]

It's milled.

[@hambo1147]

It is pressed ☝🏻

[@howyduinyall7653]

It’s a mixture

[@npc-sd7hk]

Great piece

[@argyle1812]

Looks great but shame no sapphire crystal

[@jakeeleebattos9942]

Is that bezel embossed

[@armandocardenas6094]

I own the pepsi. I love it.

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

Nice piece 👍 Excellent pricing. Wish the movement was automatic, though. Interesting how all the JDM models come in the itty bitty boxes. Seiko JDM models get the itty bitties as well 🤔. I've had a couple that came in "appropriate" presentation boxes but, they were in the neighborhood of around 1,000$.

[@fakenewsisthenews3542]

That is pretty.

[@rubensanmaurodelbosqur1950]

Bonito reloj Citizen. 👏👏🤩🤩⌚️⌚️

[@antonioesparza4390]

[@diegocanale1124]

Is this an exclusive to Japanese market?

[@hambo1147]

Yes it is

[@a_z.tazzzfan8497]

5:05 - - Shoulda popped up the SPECS in Japanese then about a minute later changed to English 😂. Being a JDM model, it's only fitting 😁.

[@ZeroSOFInfinity]

Either the box is really small, or that's really big hands...... 🤭

[@fakenewsisthenews3542]

It's "ICE-O" compliant !!

[@maverickwatchreviews]

You got dad jokes!

[@certainly2509]

Mineral crystal? So it's gonna get tons of scratches. Inexcusable there is no saphire crystal. A pass for me.

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Not true. And mineral crystals are much better than sapphire depending on the use/situation.

[@richardporter1564]

Citizen makes a good mineral crystal for their dive watches. And they even add an AR coating for added clarity. Sapphire crystals are more reflective than mineral glass, and sapphire is also not impact resistant like mineral. The Citizen ProMaster is a tried and true ISO certified diver's watch. My 38mm battery powered ProMaster is still going strong and I never smashed the crystal in 20 years of usage.
