Here is mine...dont really wear anymore. Bought as a newer diver while my Seiko was in shop for service first time after deployment to middle east back in 1990s and guessing o-ring dried out or cracked from heat and started getting some moisture under glass.

Been a good watch but may let someone else love her...since I mostly wear the Seiko or my newer Omega.

I'm a fan.

I have four Citizen watches, two are Corso models and two are Drive models.

Both of the Corso model watches have sapphire crystals.

I'm considering retiring soon and am thinking about getting this Promaster Tough as kind of a retirement gift for myself. Well, that's the excuse I'm going to use to get the watch.

Satellite-set, only have to adjust for DST.
I keep mine in my top dresser drawer & have never had any issue with it. Did wear it for a few days, and this morning the hands were all at 12:00 (sleep mode I guess). It jumped to the correct time once it got some light on it.

1.5 years later & this is still ticking along issue-free.

I have several. No problems. I’m a big fan.

Got this one from Dave.

My Skyhawk has sat in the dark for weeks and I can't get the capacitor to drain enough to show anything other than full.

I have a Citizen's Eco drive that also gets a time correction every night from the nearest "atomic clock". It's a fine watch but I don't wear it much now that I bought my watch by "Walker's". That's my favorite !!

I'm in the "not so great" camp.
I've had two that I've bought.
BOTH of them died at almost the same point (48 months) and wouldn't charge anymore. Getting them fixed costs almost as much as a new watch.
They fooled me twice, I'm no longer interested.

I have this Divers 200m watch and never had problems. I don't dive but do a lot of kayaking and wanted something that being immersed would not harm it

I used the have the Blue Angels one. Liked it a lot, but it was stolen from my car when it was broken into years ago. Lately I wear a Fitbit or a Maratac GPT-1 that’s mechanical and gains a couple minutes a week

I leave mine on the desk in my [home] office. Even there, it soaks up enough ambient light to keep running when I don't wear it for a while.

It's as reliable as the day is long.

(I think you need another Eco-Drive for your collection, stick. Email me.)

Haha, when I saw this thread pop up earlier I was thinking it must have been deja vu all over again.

Not sure if it was specifically said in any of the posts but the watch face is a solar cell that runs the watch. The battery is to keep it going if there is an extended period of no light. When the battery dies DO NOT take it to the discount department store for a new battery, you may get stuck for an expensive rebuild. Send it to the factory or get a qualified watchsmith to work on it. I got about 10 years before the battery died on me.
