Beautiful! I am a Seiko fanboy, but I own three Citizens. In contrast to Seiko, I can honestly say that Citizen’s QC is perfect. Moreover, on my Eco-Dive models, the seconds hand hits the indexes perfectly. My wife’s daily Eco-Drive has been going for more than twenty years, without a service. There is so mush to like here. Thanks for the review, Peter.

Got mine in a Pepsi from Starbuy last week. It was on special for AUD199. The stainless steel bracelet was comfortable but cheap looking. Replaced with an FKM type strap. Now, for the surprise. The dial said "8203 Movement". The case back said "8204". The new models have the 8204 movement - hacking and winding. Leaves the SKX for dead. Looks good and has great wrist presence. At this time, it's running at +5.5spd.

He never had to service it. That watch is almost as old as me and it still tick away perfectly. Honestly, if you need a watch for work, you get a Citizen. They might not be for everyone, but they sure as hell won’t let you down.

Peter, while so many reviewers focus on the specs of watches, you are one of the few who talk about what really draws us in: the aesthetics. I wonder if after a year you still feel the same about this watch. I fell for the NY0040 a while back after catching a view of it at an angle on someone’s wrist. I ended up purchasing both the black and fully lumed versions. I tried these on my wrist next to the NY0085 “coke” you reviewed here and it’s hard to overstate the effect that the subtle differences made. The NY0040 and NY0085 are essentially the same watch. The only differences are in the color of the lume, the font size & color on the bezel, and some minor differences in the text on the dial. While the black NY0040 felt more rugged (probably due to the larger font), the NY0085 felt a bit more refined. The lume on the NY0040 has a greenish hue that pushes strap choices toward olive and black; and who can say why a shark mesh bracelet looks so beautiful (IMO) on the fully lumed NY0040? This video has me longing for that NY0085 I let go of back then. You’ve just about pushed me over the edge towards another purchase! Two thumbs up on that engineer’s bracelet pairing. Keep up the good work. Your love for the hobby comes through in your presentation.

I wanted Automatic, and Left Handed screw down. My last Citizen diver I bought was 12 years ago, and I just had to have a new capacitor put in it. Now its good for another 12 years. Citizen Promaster with Minotaur drives are awesome. I was tempted to order FUGU… but, maybe on our next trip to Asia. Nice watch…congrats.

I love the design! Even tho I ended up getting the Eco Drive brother to this one I am really fond of this retro feel this design offers. Takes me right back to my childhood, with three of my uncles diving they all had their Citizen dive watches and they just stuck with me. To me this comes alive on a marine nationale style strap. I liked my square G a lot for its comfort and now I can't stand wearing it anymore as the Citizen is so much more comfortable on that strap. Also the crystal being just a hair beneath the bezel insert has got me through a year in the workshop with nothing but one tiny scratch, wich is impressive for a mineral crystal!

I just had to say Thanks again after watching this video when you originally posted it I started my search to find mine and ended up buying a Heimdallr with great specs already for my project @175$ and the coke bezel insert of Ebay bingo I now have a watch I'm extremely happy with although the decent supplied was a bit sharp along the bottom edge but still wears fine on my 7inch wrist really appreciate your fantastic high quality content Thanks my friend 👍

I have one as well, really happy with it :) looks great in NATO, leather, Oyster bracelet and rubber strap. The left hand crown is a nice detail that prevents it digging into the hand

Hey Hi Peter, Awesome review and agree this watch is amazing value and looks perfect!... The Wow factor if you will....It's funny how the mind works we can see something and wrestle within sometimes... do we really like it or is it worth the money, etc...These days for me it's about the "Wow factor" and not having to rationalize more than what is logical or wise...Bang!! it hits you and this watch does as a piece of Creative Art!... Cheers Brother be safe and well and thank you!!!... Ciao!

I’ve been considering the Coke or Pepsi of these Cirizens for a while. Thanks for the review - good to get insight from a trusted channel. Also, presenting the unit on the variety of straps is really helping me form my opinion.

I just bought the identical watch for $249 here in Aus and I totally agree with everything you say! I've got very expensive Swiss watches but this thing is the bomb! Beautiful watch, fantastic function, really what more do you need in a watch!? I absolutely luv it. Listening to you I chuckled to myself repeatedly while saying yes, yes, yes, I totally agree. Excellent review.

@ngm1237 Does yours have the updated lume that the standard NY0040 has? The old type has a slight mismatch between the hands and markers, where the markers fade out faster. The 0040 updated this at the same time as the movement was updated, but the Pepsi version seems to have missed out on the lume update.

Hiya Pete! This is an absolutely great watch. So much to like about it, the case finishing is outstanding which really comes across on the video. I also love the colour scheme, the hands and the dial, which has just the right amount of writing on it. Citizen is a strongly underrated brand. If it just weren't for thus weird crown position at 8 o'clock which doesn't come in handy imo as you have to hold the watch update down to operate it. Cheers mate!

I've had this Citizen watch for a year or two now, it is my daily wearer. Previously I had a Seiko SKX007J. The accuracy of the Seiko was quite bad and required constant adjusting - eventually the thread on the crown wore out. This Citizen Promaster has great accuracy for an automatic watch. The 8 OClock crown is also fantastic, I do a lot of bike riding and having the crown on the other side means the back of my hand does not get constantly bashed by the crown. The only thing I miss about the SKX is the legibility of the white day date wheel - the Citizen Promaster is very hard to read. But all in all, a brilliant watch. Thanks for the great video!
