Men's Promaster Dive Eco-Drive Watch, 3-Hand Date, Polyurethane Strap, ISO Certified, Anti-Reflective Curved Crystal, Screw-Back Case and Crown

The "Ecozilla" (as this model of Citizen watch is informally called) is a big burly beast. The steel case has a 48mm diameter and 19mm height, with a 29mm band width: truly monstrous dimensions. But it's not too heavy given the size and thickness of the case/crystal, so your arm won't drag or leave you complaining too much about the mass (at least in my opinion -- this is subjective of course). The mineral crystal is clear with no significant distortion, but with a thickness of 6mm it's more bulletproof than probably any other watch you own. The unidirectional 60-click bezel is situated entirely within the diameter of the case, so to turn it you must press down from the top rather than grab it by the edge -- a bonus because you're much less likely to move the bezel by accident. The markers, chapter ring and bezel are perfectly aligned, unlike most of the new Seiko divers which have notorious alignment problems (just google "Seiko misalignment" and you'll see what I mean). Citizen's high torque Japanese-made B873 quartz movement oscillates at 32,768Hz and is solar powered with a six-month power reserve when fully charged, and two warning functions, the first indicating low power that doesn't affect timekeeping, and the second indicating low power that does affect time-keeping. Second hand alignment is about 95% perfect around the dial, but literally every Ecozilla I've seen has a few dial positions where the second hand slightly retrogrades off alignment before advancing to the next pip on the chapter ring. This appears to be a consequence of the high torque and very robust movement design, and is not due to loose hands, damage or poor quality control. After all, this watch is rated for saturation diving in a helium-rich environment up to 300m, or almost 1/6 of a mile below the surface of the ocean. Accuracy is rated at +/- 15 seconds/month at 41°-95°F, with an operational temperature range of 14°-140°F, but mine runs only about 3 seconds fast per month. The lume on all three hands, plus the hour markers and bezel 0 index is good -- not as bright as a Seiko but sufficient for diving. The florescent-outlined minute hand is especially highly visible. My only complaint is the common one with many watches these days that don't have a "cyclops" magnifier bubble over the date window: "the date display is too small," which is fairly trivial as it just takes an extra second or two to focus your eyes and read it. With this baby on your wrist you won't have to worry about your watch failing for just about any reason -- it really is the Ecozilla, a solar-powered marine monster dominating all comers! Best of all is when it's on sale for under $200 new. Highly recommended!

Best watch all around, accurate to the minute and seconds I have had charged it since the first day and it’s been running without any issues, I have read some reviews with negative comments; minute hand movement, not lining up with the hour hands, I found none of those things in such great watch. Adapters for military strap order from EBay best quality the strap is 24 mm and the best is available in Amazon. Original strap is beautiful and comfortable no problem should last you a long time just clean with water and soft soap and toothbrush to remove dirt and dead skin every so often.

Amazing

First, what could be better. Not much really. The watch is large, heavy, and has a very stiff rubber strap that make it pretty uncomfortable for everyday wear--at least for me. I'd also prefer that the crystal have a bubble window over the date to magnify it--really not the watch's fault, just my old eyes. That's it. None of these things really matter to me because I bought this watch to dive with. I don't need to see the date on a dive, it doesn't weigh squat underwater, and I cannot feel the strap over a drysuit. Now the good things--and there are a lot of them. This watch was designed for diving--not wearing by people who want to look like they dive, but real divers. It has all of the classic features that make for a great dive water. 1. It has a big, well defined, high-contrast face that make it easy to read at a glance. The minute hand is given a red/orange color so that there is no chance of confusing which hand is which. 2. It has a strap extender that not only fits over any wetsuit you might want to use, it will fit over my drysuit with 200g undergarment. 3. It's water resistant to 1,000 feet. Considering that O2 becomes toxic in normal air at a bit over 200 feet, this watch has your depth covered. 4. The rotating bezel locks down tight enough to make accidental movement unlikely and as usual, only rotates to the left. Some people have complained that it only has 60 clicks instead of 120 for a full circle, but you only need to be able to accurately stop it on a minute. There is absolutely no reason to need more than a single click for each minute--at least if you're really using it for diving. Bottom line: if you're looking for a dive watch to actually take underwater, here is a watch that's really made with that in mind.

Having been an owner of a Citizen Promaster Aqualand II dive watch for the past two decades... I just picked up a Eco Zilla as an eventual replacement/back-up as I was having my Aqualand II serviced for a battery replacement, gasket change and pressure test. I initially had spotted the Eco Zilla a couple of years ago on a cruise in the Caribbean, and was impressed on the overall look of it. After reading the outstanding reviews and seeing an offer on Amazon that was hard to pass up on, I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a purchase. All I can say, is that this dive watch is a literal "no brainer"... if you are looking for something that just does the basic and keeps time without the bells & whistles of a depth gauge and/or alarm, then this is the dive watch for you. Mind you, this watch is not for everyone as it may not look too good on some gents... as an example, I am 5'11" weighing 220lbs with average 8inch wrists, and as such this watch works for me. The Eco Zilla has a no nonsense rugged and substantially solid built look, which literally implores you to man-up ! and begs the question whether one truly has the urge to submerge... Thank you Citizen for coming up with this relatively new series of dive watches and looking forward to many years of diving with it, along with my Aqualand II which is 18 years old and going strong with over 500 logged dives... meanwhile I need to have my Testoserone levels checked as I am quite certain they may have been boosted upwards from wearing this watch !... :) UPDATE: Since the above review I have gone ahead and taken the Eco-Zilla, to half a dozen deep wreck dives in the Florida Keys this past summer, and this watch rocked !!! definitely a great addition to my dive gear and watch collection. When I put this watch on with casual wear either pre or post diving, it gives notice to others as to what my favorite pastime is... but to be honest, I prefer to treat it as a piece of dive gear and to wear it primarily for dive purposes.

UPDATE: Wearing the watch daily for 1 year 8 months now. Still like it as much as the day I bought it. Absolutely no complaints at all about the watch, I see this being my favorite for years to come. As for the wristband I never replaced it, it is far from uncomfortable and I have seen no reason for replacement. I have had this watch for a week now and I still like it as much as the day it arrived. I'll try to update the review after I have a little more time with the watch. Before buying the watch I stopped by the local mall to see if they had this watch available in a watch store. The store carried the watch but it was more expensive then Amazon even though it was on sale in the store, the owner would not even match Amazons price. I was however able to see the watch first hand before buying it from Amazon. Honestly I was a little concerned about the size of the watch at first; I mean this thing is a monster and could probably be used as a weapon in an emergency situation. With that being said, I absolutely love this watch. I have always been a large dive watch fan and this is by far the best watch I have ever owned. I like the looks, the size, and the weight. I don't think the watch is overly heavy however there is no getting around the fact that this is a large watch - which I like. The luminous hands stay bright enough to read for quite some time. I could read them after the watch had been stored in my locker at work for 8 hrs. I would not go so far as to say that the watch band is uncomfortable, however it is stiff and I will be looking at purchasing a pair of the 'Suppa' adapters ([...]) for the watch as soon as they become available again so I can try another band. This is probably my only gripe, that I need to purchase a ~$70 pair of adapters to be able to change watch bands (the craftsmanship of the adapters does look top notch however). I am thinking about a 24mm Orange Zulu 3 Ring Military Watch Band Strap [...] once I have purchased the adapters. If you like large dive watches then this is the watch for you. I watched a YouTube viedo on the top 10 dive watches under $300 and the Eco-Zilla came in 2nd place. I have no regrets and would recommend the watch to a friend.

Wow, it looks super amazing, the yellow color gives it a different touch, I recommend it 100%

This watch is a beautiful, heavy duty watch. I would give it 5 stars except for a few troublesome issues. I purchased this watch directly from Amazon as brand new. 1. When I received the watch it looked like the box containing the watch had been previously opened. The band extension was not put in the box correctly. There were no clear plastic protector stickers on the face of the watch. The tiny booklets were not on the inside of the box, but rather on the outside with one booklet cover folded. One booklet was on top of the box and the other one on the side. The little serial tag was tied on by a cheap white string, like it was in a window display, rather than the black elastic type normal found on their watches. The band looks and feels like it was exposed to light and air for a long time. I don't know if Amazon sells refurbished or returned watches and labels them as new, but I do feel very distrustful toward Amazon because of this issue. Remember, I bought the directly from Amazon, not a third party seller. 2. The bezel is only a 60 click bezel rather than a 120 click bezel. If you've owned dive watches before then you understand what I am talking about. The bezel itself feels cheap and lightweight. If you push down on the bezel, there is a lightweight feel and a spring give to it. The rest of the watch is heavy duty and built like a tank. I cannot understand why they would cheapen the bezel feel. Of course, I don't know if this bezel is the actual one that comes with a new watch, or it was replaced with a cheaper one, since I still am not sure that I initially received a brand new watch. 3. The back cover of the watch is screwed on crooked. Normally when I buy a brand new watch, the emblem on the back cover of the watch is inline with the band or with the set knob. It seems like this watch may of been opened before. To change a gasket seal? To repair something? I do not know if the watch is watch resistant up to it's rating. If I take this watch diving, and if I have to depend my health on it, who would be responsible? I think the seller. I am basing the specs of this watch as brand new, not refurbish, not a returned item, as sold new by Amazon. 4. The second hand on this watch do not hit the tick marks. The second hand lands between them. I can understand this happening on automatics, but not on a quartz watch. This is somewhat disappointing. Many of my friends who have similar Citizen dive watches tell me that their second hand falls squarely on the tick marks. Very odd. I don't believe Amazon will read this review, but if they actually do, I hope they do something about it. I don't plan on exchanging this watch until I receive one that looks like it is brand new, in the box packaged, and works as spec'ed. When they do, I will return this one. I would suggest buyers of any watch directly from Amazon to make sure that the watch they receive looks like it was packaged new and not opened previously. UPDATE: After contacting Amazon about my issues they sent me another watch. Same type of packaging, watch looked like it was previously opened. And to top it off, the main booklet was missing. So I returned it. The first watch they sent me was in better condition than the replacement. I do not know where Amazon purchases these watches. I believe that these watches do not come directly from Citizen Japan. They might of been rejects from Citizen Japan and sold to China or some other country which repairs them and sells them wholesale as factory new. Thus Amazon may of bulk purchases those watches and sells them as new. Unfortunately, they don't have the quality control that you would get if you purchased a new watch from Citizen Japan. That is my guess. When I purchased a prior Citizen Eco watch, it was a cheaper $75 watch. It was sealed in the box and came with a warranty card that was plastic, like a credit card. The booklets were stored inside the box, the watch had a plastic protector sheet on front and back. The watch looked completely new, polished and protected before the consumer uses it. The second hand hit the mark exactly. Everything was perfect. I knew that this watch came directly from Citizen Japan. I expect that type of quality, when purchasing ANY watch from Amazon. Very disappointed.

Toppie horloge!

This watch is not for the faint hearted. Initially all will be worried with jerked seconds movement as we are excited for the watch start. But give it a good few hours of direct sun and allow it to run. When you wear the watch, you are different from the rest. This is a BEAST (all in good sense) Weather you are a diver or no, it absolutely must have for the FGF (feel good factor) Came as a surprise in a awesome box Plus additional divers wrist band. Night glow is brilliant. If there is a better deal, I will for sure go for 2nd piece

Es súper robusto y con un diseño magnífico, la hora exacta al segundo. Tengo otros ECODRIVES, y van perfectos durante años. El truco guardarlos en una caja de cristal, para que tengan luz eterna y no en un cajón a oscuras. Si se te para adiós reloj. Una compra excelente y supercomodo, no entiendo a los que critican su correa. UNA MARAVILLA para profesionales y para aficionados a los deportes acuáticos.

I purchased different divers watches but this one ecozilla is one of kind and gave me to mch satisfaction beauty on my wrist, Its a unique and a robust watch. One of my great collection

En robust klocka, samtidigt elegant för mig
