Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Professional Diver Black Rubber Strap Watch Reviews
This was one of Citizen’s first “eco drive” watches and is still in production! Mine is the “Diver’s 200m” and somewhere along the way Citizen upgraded it to 300m without changing the design. It’s worked perfectly for me for over 10 years and remains one of my favorites due to its brushed steel finish, textured dial, raised hour markers and unique hands. Keep in mind that this is one of the smallest mens dive watches on the market to choose. The case measures 40mm diagonally, however, the outer bezel ring measures 38mm across. So by the time you work your way into the dial, the watch appears to be smaller than other 40mm watches and the trend today is to produce dive watches much greater than 40mm. However, I haven’t bought into wearing the new HUGE styles and think this watch is the right size. I ditched the rubber band right off and have worn various 20mm bands with it. I’ve been waiting for Citzen to come out with stainless steel watchband for it to dress it up. It has a classic minimalist style with a unique look that doesn’t try to copy any other brands.
I have had the older version of this same watch (a battery operated model) for 20 years and it’s been a great watch. But thanks to daily wear it’s looking pretty battered, so for appearance sake (mostly at work) I upgraded to this solar model. I love it! And I’ll never have to take it in to get a new battery or worry afterwards if the seal will hold while swimming, kayaking or body-surfing. After years of wearing my old watch with nylon/velcro watch bands this new rubber watch band feels bulky and uncomfortable, so I have ordered a military style, black nylon band to replace the rubber one. This watch, mildly altered by the nylon band I ordered separately, is superb.
