I wear the same watch 24/7, I literally never take my watch off unless I go through a metal detector. So I wanted something that looks great, can take a lot of abuse, and zero maintenance. I researched a replacement for my reliable, decades old but failing Bulova dive watch. This was the one and worth every penny!
-One of biggest points for me was how the crystal sits. It's just a few hairs lower than the bezel, which protects it, and zero scratches after 6 months. A lot of dive watches have a convex or flush crystal and, for someone who is active and never takes their watch off, those crystals would get scratched constantly.
-I don't dive but I surf. It's held up great with the pressures of over-head, pounding waves.
-I have small wrists and it doesn't look big at all, plus it is much lighter than I expected.
-I wear progressive glasses and, without them, the face is easy to read. Even after being asleep for hours, the luminescence of the face is easy to see in total darkness. Obviously it will degrade over years being in the sun as much as I am but still.
-The unidirectional bezel is easy to move yet stays in place.
-I read some bad reviews about the double tick when you get the watch, disregard those people, they didn't read the instructions!
-I love that it charges in all kinds of light and I never need to replace a battery. Never had a double tick since I got it in September. So if I'm surfing, fishing, or sitting at my computer, as long as there is light...it is charging.
-In 6 months, I adjusted the time once because it was fast by one minute when we hit daylight savings.
-The only con, which is not worth removing a star, is that the finger on the clasp doesn't seat low enough and can snag on a thread when putting on clothes with long sleeves. Not a big deal.
-If you're a 24/7, one watch, analog type of person, this may be perfect. If you swap watches all the time and keep this in a drawer for months on end, this watch is probably not for you.
I almost want to buy another and squirrel it away just in case they discontinue this model in the next 10years!

I recently purchased a Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Promaster Diver Watch with Date, BN0150-28E. This is the 3RD EcoDrive watch I have owned, the others being the first generation Diver, very similar to this one and a military styled field watch. With that said, both those models are daily wear including military and public safety use and are still going strong. Now...on to this beauty....I ordered one two weeks ago, got it two days later and sent the first one back. Why? No instruction booklet or warranty number on the watch tag. I ordered a second one, it two arrived in two days and again, same thing. I actually called Citizen and spoke to a person in Licensed Sales about this, suspecting maybe Amazon was not an authorized sales outlet. They explained they in an effort to reduce packaging (which is funny as this thing comes in a gargantuan box with a replica scuba tank inside) those aspects of the transaction are now online. My old watches had an instruction booklet and warranty number with the watch. I also learned that registering the watch ONLINE gives you one additional year of warranty so bumping it to 6 years. Now- on to the watch. It is a work of simplistic diving watch wrist art. Very old school, simple and elegant at the same time. You could envision James Bond wearing something like this very functional timepiece. I have big wrists and hands and watches are sometimes awkwardly sized for my wear. Not so with this watch, it is just right, not too big, not to small on my 9" wrist. The lume on this watch is fantastic with the "0" on the outer adjustable bezel being a slightly different color to distinguish it. Each number pip has a discrete bright silver trim ring to further enhance low light veiwability. The minute hand is trimmed in a florescent orange to immediately bring the eye to it and for some nice style points that pays homage to its diving roots. The watch itself is no lightweight but at the same time it is not especially chunky either. The offset stem is super comfortable on the wrist ( I wear mine on the right hand ) The solar panel is a smooth, even surfaced flat black, unlike the earlier Eco-drives which had a bit of "grid" pattern to them. If there was one feature I would say I disliked, it would would be the band. It is a heavyweight, and frankly uncomfortable rubber band. It has a decompression chart printed on one side, that appears to be slightly inaccurate compared to my real diving tables. I was a public safety diver for 6 years and don't see any diver actually using the table when computers are so much the standard these days. The factory band is long enough where it would likely fit over most wet suits without much problem. I'd not hesitate taking this watch on regular diving operations and have take the older version I have on many operations without issue. The first thing I did upon receipt was remove the factory rubber watchband and replace them with nylon 5 ring NATO style watchstrap. The orange strap shown in the pic, really makes this piece "pop" as does the khaki and olive versions I purchased. It utilizes a 20MM watchband. The other small annoyance is the teeny tiny calendar date window. Basically it is worthless, all I can say about that. One other suggestion is to purchase some glass crystal protectors for the watch face. My older model is scratched and chipped from real world use and the glass used on these are prone to damage. I got a pack of these off Amazon for under 10 bucks and they essentially function like a cell phone screen protector. Worth it. In summary, in a world where the wristwatch is falling by the wayside more and more, this rugged, adventure craving timepiece is both a statement and functional piece of EDC kit. It is a "must have" for anyone with an interest in true diving watches or those just desiring a stylish, simple and rugged adventure watch that you will find entering your watch rotation and crowding out lesser types.
