Really like these. I had the BN0118 for awhile and one way to describe them are as a refined blunt instrument. So simple, yet so well done from end to end. Great watch. Enjoy.

Perfect description. Just enough "sauce" to appease the inner watch nerd and all utility👌

At $400 street price there is just too much competition I would rather have. That said it's a more than solid pick for someone looking for a bullet proof tool watch. These reviews just keep getting better 👌

That's great thing, no doubt....titanium, sapphire, solar powered.....a price tag is absolutely right, Promaster was always been my weak spot.....who could resist to buy a new BN0150 for less than 150 USD? That thing is just a proof how Citizen is thinking right, since they don't do it since yesterday.....drilled lugs.....Citizen I love you. There's nothing to complain about here, everything is just a personal preference, personally I would definitely remove that bracelet since I don't like metal at my wrist, and that's it, no more Like, good job.

Pretty much. The Garrison has a slimmer case height, so if you're wanting something thinner that might be the way to go, but it's really not by much.

How does it wear i terms of size? How big is the watch measured at the bezel? Can i wear it with a 16.5cm wrist? Oval shape.

my measurements are based on the bezel size. It wears okay. It might be too chunky for your preferences but that's up to you. I have a 19.6cm wrist.

Thanks for the review! How long does the lume last? Is it comparable to Seiko divers?

@daveyb38 7 ай бұрын

I have the previous model and I prefer it. This looks too thick for an office watch, which is what I wear it for. Plus you have somehow lost 100m of water resistance! Not that anyone will take it down to that depth it still differentiated this from all the 200m dive watch crowd. Also it's lost the adjustable clasp, though I do like the domed sapphire, chunky hand set and changed bracelet design. It would be nice to see a side by side review of old v new

@carlmanu 7 ай бұрын

There is so much wrong in your post, I felt compelled to intervene since I just got this watch. This watch is NOT an office watch. Not a single watch on the Promaster line is an office watch. This is marketed as an adventure go-anywhere do-anything kind of watch. It is in fact 200m water resistant though not “Diver” rated. The video states that it is 14mm thick but I measured it at 13mm due to the domed sapphire but it looks less thick. It does not have a quick release diver’s extension because it is not a diver’s watch but it does have 3 micro adjustment positions. Hope my comment didn’t come up as rude, I’m just trying to give you some real perspective.

@yourmastersenemy 6 ай бұрын

@@carlmanu I agree with the OP. This version is a serious downgrade compared to PMD56-2951, which was not only thinner and more versatile, but also had a perpetual calendar, had radio control, and was made in Japan (not "cased in Thailand'). Had high hopes for this model until I seen the specs, and I wish they had got rid of the date entirely and try and make it thinner. IMO thinner is always better, whether you're in the office or the field.

@carlmanu 4 ай бұрын

@@JeeGee114 I get it, I don’t care either but calling it an office watch to then complain about it going from 300m to 200m WR is a rather weird to complain about for a watch that he considers “office”. To be honest, I have worn dive watches on a leather strap in an office environment but you wouldn’t hear me complain about them being to thick or robust because it isn’t an office watch.

Will this fit ok on my 6,25/6,5 inch wrist? I really want titanium and solar watch but hard to find under 40mm watches, please anyone reply, it would helped a lot

@carlmanu 7 ай бұрын

Never worry about the watch diameter but rather the lug to lug distance. This watch has a 46mm lug to lug which should be fine for our wrist size.

@@Ajisaurus Nothing above 48mm. For reference, I own a Seiko Solar Tuna SNE499 which has a diameter of 47mm which is a big watch but the lug to lug is the same, thus I can pull it off because it does not protrude beyond my wrist limits.
