Fun fact: when the italian navy was looking for a new watch for their special forces (COMSUBIN), they only accepted ISO-divers with -500m. So Citizen send their standard NY0040 with a new dial (saying 500m instead of 200m) - and won. The COMSUBIN used it for a decade. When it is good enough for these guys, it sure is good enough for me... :)

I missed the boat on an affordable SKX, so I instead picked up a blue Citizen NY0040. It was my first automatic watch and my first dive watch. This year, I picked up a jubilee-style bracelet from Long Island Watch and now it's prefect. I'll never get rid of it. I've always been a fan of Citizen. I'm happy to see more reviews!

@@davidbennett4395 A watch movement that hacks means that when you pull the crown out to set the time, the seconds hand stops. Some older or more privative movements do not hack. The benefit is that you can set your watch very precisely. Another benefit is that you can turn the hands forward or backward. If the seconds hand does not hack, you should avoid turning the hands back in time.

Ah, so you're finally getting into Citizen! To me it is one of the best value watch brands out there. Seiko is long gone as the value king and Citizen has a better and more affordable alternative for pretty much every Seiko. This NY0040s or the more expensive Fugus for the discontinued SKX, the incredible NB1050 (sapphire, duratect, 4hz movement, pins and collars, etc) for the long gone SARB033 or the current Presage range, the Tsuyosa for 200ish bucks is certainly better than every Seiko 5 out there, etc. They have pretty much eerything you can expect in the Eco Drive range - be it diver's (that cost 200ish bucks and not 500 like the solar dive watches from Seiko), field watches, chronographs, GMTs, whatever....and all of them are pretty affordable. They also have very cool out-of-the-box dive watches like the Aqualand JP2000 (a true icon! and then again I'd say superior to a Seiko Arnie and costing half of it), the Orca, the Ecozilla (I'd say that it is a great alternative to the solar Tunas). They have some cool bullhead chronos as well (quartz and JDM excluvies tho). They just released 4hz automatic true GMTs for around 1k. They are masters in working with titanium and with the duratect coatings. I could go on...

@anton0529 I disagree. On the lower end, Citizen offers way better watches than Seiko. Even with mechanical movements. They have true dive watches for 200ish bucks, Seiko doesn't. They have integrated bracelet watches for 200bucks, with sapphire and bracelets and solid links (with the Seiko 5 you get hardlex and folded links). These days you have to spend well over 1k to get a proper Seiko, unfortunately. And I'm not even gonna talk about their QC problems. Their days are long gone, sadly. Used to love the brand and it was Seiko that made me fall in love with watches back in the day. I still own 4 of them. But I don't think I'll buy another in the near future.

So I did the same with the Flightmaster and got the Nighthawk, etc...Citizen makes amazing pieces, I love them as much as I love Seiko, they're the dependable younger brother and Seiko is the older wilder brother who's found success but it's getting a bit cocky moving upmarket.

The NY0085-86E has been my beater for the last three years, love this watch, there's just something very endearing about it. It's well made and wears really well. The bracelet is often slagged off for its rolled links and perceived cheapness, I disagree with this, it's pretty sturdy and not a hair puller. And the on the fly adjustment system is reliable and a godsend in the Summer months. What's not to love.

They are like you humble tools in your garage. My old Dremel isn't fancy, has zero bling compared to new models, and is still made exactly the same boring gray color. But it works. And these watches are similar. Not fancy, simple construction, meant to just work. Though, yes, their lume is odd. If I was an actual diver, I'd get the Ecodrive model of this with the rubber band and better second hand ( BN0163-00H or similar) for a little more money. The reason divers use those bands is they never slide around on a wet suit or fall off if bumped and are a cheap replacement item. EDIT - the BN0151-09L is the same thing in a more understated blue. Upgrading to the Ecodrive, better strap, and better second hand is a must for actual divers. But as a fashion watch for the rest of us who will just swim around with it, this reviewed model is nice enough. :)

SuperTitaimum is very similar to the stuff LiquidMetal Technologies makes in that it's a titanium that can be molded like steel, but then they treat it to have similar exterior hardness as pure titanium. The only real downside is heat resistance suffers a lot. But... we're talking lowering the melting point to still above aluminum. Lol. The advantage is of course, a lot less weight and zero issues with stress fatigue. What is interesting is that this technology seems to be used mostly in things like golf clubs, phones, and watches and not obvious things like automobiles. Which manufacturers love to use aluminum or carbon fiber on and ARE prone to stress related issues over time. Still.. I, like MWC, do love my stainless steel. It's cheap and works well.

Definitely the lume should be on the tip of the seconds hand because you know…the divers like to time their death to the second 😂

I'm sure one of these would grow on me if I was given one as a gift, but so many design aspects of this model just don't appeal. Also, I'd never pay extra for titanium to save the weight of a fairly advanced Casio. I don't feel the 20 grams of my F-91W, and barely feel the 33 grams of my WV-59J Wave Ceptor.

Someone got a fugu bug... Best tool watch after the SKX discontinuation. The original ny004(x) series with the updated movment are still the ones going for tho...

I like ti watches. Easy choice for me. I only have two citizen divers. A steel eco drive promaster on a blue rubber strap. Handsome tool watch. The other a bit uncommon. Orange ti promaster eco drive. Really nice finished ti watch. I have it on a blue canvas strap. The sixty click bezel on both? Not my favorite. Seems quirky

Citizen also makes a more expensive Promaster diver watch NB6021-68L with the 9052 movement, sapphire crystal, and Super Titanium for $1000 USD. Jomashop currently has the watch for $549 which is very close to half price. At that price I would gladly buy one. For whatever reason I have always liked a lot of those Seiko Prospex diver watches more than what Citizen has to offer. Nothing wrong with Citizen watches but sometimes they feel a bit boring.

That crown being on the wrong side really throws me off though

Very great review, Russ! I like the approach in contrasting these two watches. Either is probably a good choice, in particular if you ditch the bracelet for a quality rubber strap. As a semi-professional diver I can hand-on-heart say that when I dive I am not trusting my life to a spring, fading lume and a dodgy bezel pip, haha. But for timing your snacks during your surface interval? Steel for sure :-)

My only complaint on these is the lume on the hands. Little spotty on mine.

As a left hand watch wearer..I like the crown on the left..less likely to dig into your wrist when bending your wrist. 🇺🇸 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Back in the day, this or a Chronosport was the choice if you wanted a functional watch that actually was waterproof without breaking the bank. Most "resistant" watches that claim 50m or 100m are really good for 1/10th of that in repeated use. We've all had "50m" cheaper watches simply fail after a few hours in the local swimming pool. Let alone actual diving or the ocean. But then things got.. expensive and fancy and trying to chase the big brands sometime in the 90s. With lots of fake clones that couldn't actually be used as a tool. At half the price of the titanium model and just as functional, it's a solid winner and now on my own short list.

Thanks for another great video. Happy to see that you are getting into citizen watches now . But I would rather buy Orient Mako 3 over this citizen. Still love my Eco-Drive promaster though
