I had this watch in the 1980ies,and it was Ultra solid and it still runs today

If this were a Seiko, it would cost $2,000.

Pirchased it on march 2024 BEST WATCH EVER TOTALLY RECOMMEND

I’m still so impressed by your presentational skills, both with the writing and how you showcase each shots. Particularly love the touch with the spray bottle👍

Every Citizen I own I have bought on a cruise ship. I've received compliments on them all! They're not bad. Great review!

I really like that Citizen puts long silicone bracelets on their diving watches, because I have a wide wrist and I have a problem when I buy a watch that doesn't have a bracelet long enough for my wide wrist. Citizen, congratulations on that solution. Well done.💪💪💪

Great review as always this one stands out from the crowd to me , understated and classy , I'm very tempted 😊

This is probably an unpopular opinion - but imo Citizen is churning out better quality watches than Seiko currently ... everything is set correctly (i.e. bezel alignment) - the movements imo are on point - where i feel Seiko's nowadays are just cheaply slapped together with very poor QC.

This is by far the most detailed and appreciated review on this watch! I also couldn’t believe the level of refinement in the video. Definitely won my sub.

Great looking diver. Citizen gets it. Cheers!

Just ordered mine based on your review. 🤘

Totally agree with all of your points. I've been looking for a dive watch and this one came across and it ticks all of the right boxes. Can see it become a future classic. Nice video and presentation btw 👌🏼

Great review of a great watch for real divers and affordable price. So much so I bought the blue Fugitsubo on the strength of your review. This is the first watch that I have bought in three years!!! Can't wait to get it on wrist.

..... thank you for such an excellent and well rounded look at and review of this watch , it convinced me to finally get one ...... and today the 26th June 2024 mine arrived in the post ...... and all I can say is WOW ! ......... pure perfection ..........

Brilliant review man I'm sold!

Thank you for covering this watch! It really has all that is needed and nothing more. That really appeals to me.

Great watch. I own the same one and just picked up a vintage version 52-0010. My only recommendation to Citizen that would have put this re-creation over the top but would be a 7mm crown, fully graduated bezel, insert, and red text on the date wheel similar to the vintage diver.

Very cool! I’ve been waiting for the Pelagos 39 to become available by me, but maybe this will scratch that itch in the meantime. I’m really interested to see this Citizen on some other strap options as well.

Excellent presentation and footage as usual

Great review, I am big fan of the Promaster, and this one is definitely an upgrade 👍🏽

Got one too. Glad you see what I saw in it. My first Citizen,never interested in the brand until now. Great video. Thanks

Great photography of a nice vintage diver.

Your production quality is 👌

I am astounded by the atheistic format of your reviews! Damn, I thought I was a little creative but every time I watch one of your reviews, your stap combination together with the photography are truly seminal.

It's a beautiful watch from Citizen, I really like the Citizen brand. Their "The Citizen" and "Chronomaster" series are amazinggggg. The EcoDrive line is also great on the more affordable side, much better than anything under 1k.

Thanks for the video (really nice pictures and videos of the watch and I find your commentary easy to understand). I own this watch too and I have it on a green "ridge" NATO strap - it looks amazing!

Very handsome watch, good job Citizen!

Beautiful watch!

Amazing review. Thank you!

Almost perfect! The only reason i didnt get it is because i want a jdm titanium solar citizen diver.. Thank you for the review, this one is very underrated, As most of citizens..

Stunning!

Last week I was having a watch conversation with a guy who doesn't really like watches. He was wearing a Seconda. He does, however, like sailing and routinely takes his boat from England to the Med. He asked advice on buying a tough, no nonsense watch that he could wear while doing all the sailor stuff you do while dodging Orcas in the Bay of Biscay. I went to the Seiko Turtle or Captain Willard as good choices. Tough, no nonsense watches that would do the job he wanted. The guy has Rolex money, but just isn't bothered. Having seen this and the barnacles, I'm going to have to show it to him as an alternative. Bloody Barnacles !!

Couldn‘t agree more, great watch !!!

Planning on buying a watch and so far this meets are the criteria that I looking on a great buy.

Definitely a conteder, in my opinion. I love this retro 70Ś soonest I saw this video,I was impressed, I have fe wgreat Titanium pieces in my collection..

Great review, looks very nice! I have an older Pro Master and while I like the looks it just does not get the wrist time it deserves.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this watch BB. I love the monochrome look, the clarity and from my experience Citizen has so far been a reliable and well made watch brand at a decent price. Although my experience has been with the Eco-Drive movements my Citizen watches have been faultless for nearly a decade. I've not added another Citizen watch to my collection in around 8 years. I might just have to have a look at this automatic model when I'm next at the AD as I don't have a Citizen diver. If I can justify it I might just make a purchase, we shall see.

Love it when you wore it with the thick glove , it’s an awesome looking watch and good quality. Personally I only have a two tone Daytona copy which is a Eco Drive model but I simply love it. I don’t have any itch to buy a new dive watch my Tudor Bronze 2019 grey fulfills that role admirably. Thank you for another top notch video Sir.

Fantastic review of a gorgeous diver. I would’ve gone with the blue (if only for the homage factor). I do wish they’d kept the original size though…..

Excellent review, as usual, of an interesting watch, great photography too. Very undestated and purposeful looking watch but priced a little too expensive for my tastes. A 200m Steinhart diver costs less and has great specs and finish. My favourite dive watch is the Edox Skydiver 70s which can be bought for a few hundred more than this Citizen and is arguably much more watch for the money.

Nice watch. Nice review. Subscribed!

Love it! A classic

Gorgeous watch, and a much more accurate reissue of their historic dive watch than Seiko did with the 62Mas reissue when they released the SLA017 or even SPB143. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the hands. If they would have used the same hands of the Parawater in this watch, I'd pounce.

Ok, you've just melted my brain, I knew nothing about the parawater, the 62mas was a homage! Unbelievable Jeff!

Looks so good. Your macro shots are terrific. I only have one Citizen but have enjoyed it for many years. As a fan of titanium I will need to give this one a serious look.

Nice looking watch... PS I acquired a Mido Ocean Star Decompression Worldtimer, the black version. Maybe this Citizen next year ;)

Lovely watch and great review. I have a Citizen titanium watch from the 1990’s, just bought two Certinas (following your reviews) so tempted by this for the price👌

great review. subscribed

I own this watch and I am wearing it es my dayli beater he was out of box +6 seconds a day, after fine tuning has accuracy of - 1 min a month I am more than satisfied I own few watches some of them are 3-4 time more expensive swiss made and I can't get them so accurate. I used to hate miyota hahaha cheep junk but deliver something it is something like toyota. Buy the way I have purchased Mido after your review that was very honest review I am very grateful, keep doing what you do good job ♥️

Love it so much

Definitely a conteder, in my opinion. I love this retro 70Ś soonest I saw this video,I was impressed, I have few Tita👍nium pieces in my collection..

Awesome review tbh. 👌

Citizen...very cool divers watch... Its affordable and durable watch...👍 Big like...

That’s the one. Love it❤

Definitely a conteder, in my opinion. I love this retro 70Ś soonest I saw this video,I was impressed, I have fe wgreat Tita👍nium pieces in my collection..

First rate photography and art Direction. This is a winner. I’m wondering if they would ever drop there eco-drive movement in this. I have ordered the black one anyhow.

Very tempted to get this exact model. Went to the AD again 2 days ago to touch and try on my wrist again. Haven’t able to overcome the small crown for me to bag it home.

Casio and Citizen is all I own, with the exception of a Spaghetti Scameti, I just couldn’t resist haha. This is my grail watch, I’d happily wear this for the next 10 years while slowly saving for a Rolex Submariner. I’d definitely still wear my Casio Duro with Island Watch bracelet though.

Thanks for wonderful video

I have one of these. I ordered a bracelet for it from Citizen in the UK and it's a very satisfying watch on the bracelet, really elavates it and looks great in all monochrome. I wear it with pride and have owned more expensive diver's watches, but prefer the Citizen as it just seems to hit the sweet spot in every aspect.

I own quite a few seikos, orients and Citizens. The promasters offer great value compared to seiko. I like that they are the uncool underdog, unaffected by some of the hype surrounding other brands. This challenge diver is definitely on my wish list.

Love this, perfect proportions, perfect style, do I need another diver? I think so. Cheers

Yeay ive bought it 1 mo ago bro, its super fascinating watch

Looks nice

I wish there was also an Eco-Drive model as this movement would complete my collection 😊

I'm just feeding the algorithm for you. It's a neat looking watch too !

I’ve always liked this diver. But the crown doesn’t fit the watch. It’s just too small. I also don’t know why Citizen insist on such a small date window. Every time I buy one, I have to add magnification windows. Every time! But this diver looks amazing. And Citizen and Seiko get more wears from me than my Omega’s or Longines. They just work! Nice review…thanks for doing it.

I love your presentation very informative. I just bought the exact watch after watching your video , it annoys me that Case in CHINA on the case back , some other same model is not written Case in China , could you please tell me the difference?

I'm wearing this right now. The only thing that detracts from it (IMO) is the noisy rotor, which is amplified if you put the watch on a NATO strap. Other than that, it's superb. It keeps better time than the Seiko SPB153, which I also have, and which costs twice the price. I'd say it's on par with my Tudor Black Bay 58, which it very vaguely resembles. I love it.

Great Review:) Seems to me that every professional diver I have met wears a Citizen, that is, if they wear a watch at all when diving!

Love mine!

I don’t know why, but I really really like this. Many times I have looked at this and have been contemplating a purchase. I have been a fan of the 6R35 movements in many seiko divers May I ask why do you rate this one higher? Great review as usual many thanks

I really want one of these, blue, black or the grey

My watchmaker is just servicing my original from the seventies , but with such an old watch , it is better not to use it in water anymore .For diving , the new is the better choice !

Nice watch I' d like to buy it if it were a limited edition sub 500 pieces!!

Reminds me of the Seiko SPB143

This looks better than majority of seikos dive watch lineup lol maybe even all of them

Great review, love citizen brings back good memories. i bought the Citizen Promaster JP2007-17X Diver. Underrated watch but i LOVE it hope you get to check one out!

Citizen is often overlooked

Great review 👍🏻👍🏻, but i have seen some other reviewers that are not speaking that well about the quality feel, more as a ”toyisch” feel.. design Wise its top ⭐️⭐️⭐️..

What braiclet fit on this watch? Im thinking to buy it but one on a braiclet comes with blue dial

saw this video, bought the watch. After delivery and a dip in the ocean I immediately went online and bought a second one. Both watches for under $500.00 from a reputable AR. So far both are running within 6 seconds of each other and about 7 to 11 seconds fast per day. A Titanium automatic dive watch for $477.00, definitely the best dive watch under $500.00 you can buy in 2024. And possibly a better watch than the competition costing hundreds if not thousands more.

I really like this! Great review and thoughts on the design. So interesting that the dial layout from Citizen predates the 62mas. What are your thoughts on this model vs the SPB143 62mas reissue models?

I will get it ❤

Beautiful watch but I would have love blue lume iso the green lume.

A question for you watch experts--I have a great Citizen Eco Drive Promaster Diver BN0150-10E. It's perfect as far as I'm concerned. But I've been thinking of "upgrading" to an automatic and I love the looks of this Fujitsubo. But I think the daily accuracy of -10 to +20 seconds would drive me nuts. Is it really worth upgrading? I really enjoy the accuracy of the Eco Drive.

A simple yet beautiful design .

Top notch video as per usual! And the watch looks good. Not a super fan of Citizen though.

It's amazing how good looking a lot of vintage Citizen watches, they just don't connect with the new models.

nice watch :) if u had to choose between this one and certina ds action 38mm? considering these 2 i like the citizen look better but think the movement and overall quality is better in certina

Citizen is a cool brand. An underdog. Always in the shadow of Seiko. For similar reason why Orient is in the shadow of Citizen :) I like Promasters. I love Aqualands. Can’t wait to see more citizens on your channel. I have one question: how come you ended up classifying this diver in position 43? Who is on 42? :) thanks for the great review and entertaining content. Much appreciated!

I think that my dad had one of these or very similar when I was kid I think was 150m 👍

Jak ja się cieszę ze znalazłem kanał o zegarka który prowadzi Normalny Europejczyk a nie Azjata Lub Anglosas …Salut my friend 🤣👍❤️‍🔥🇵🇱👏👏✌️

Nice diver. The only thing I do not like is the lumed index at 3. It is a little bit off set compared to other indexes and it bothers me a lot. Seiko does that too. Do not know why.

Something is wrong. The bezel markers at 15 and 45 minutes seem not centred on the 3 o'clock and 9 o' clock on the dial, and also all other markers seem affected except 6 and 12 o'clock.

It's nice to watch a posvideo about this watch, most I've seen are pretty ambivalent and say its inferior to Seiko blah blah. Well done, Citizen deserve some credit.

It's a really good looking watch. A shame they don't make it with Eco-Drive too.

Some things give me pause. I'd like it to be sharper, and the bezel sounds like it's not fantastic. For me, this would be a big purchase. I need to find one in a shop and try it on. But I think I respect Citizen dive watches even more than Seiko

Did I miss it or did you not refer to its nickname, the "Fujitsubo"?

Wher can we have access to your "brave beaters" list? Thank you! Paulo
