The watch is incredible. It is perfect. It is both a jewel and a tool. Only those who have it understand what it is. In my opinion, it is not expensive. I got it for 262 euros. I have similar watches, but they cost around 800 euros (Luminox and Casio). It is very easy to read the time, even at night. Because it is large in size, I have the strap slightly loose. One of the best choices for a watch.
It is an old model, I have had it for about 13 years and it has been used in several dives as well as everyday use. It has never caused me any damage, it is worth its money and more for people who do diving and more!
Ecozilla is not a random nickname given to it by the Anglo-Saxons.
A landmark watch in the divers aqualand category by Citizen, this along with its automatic titanium brother, the 1000m, are becoming collectibles, especially if their production stops. What can you say about this tank? With its 48.5mm lug to lug, 18.6mm case thickness, 6mm mineral crystal, and 176g weight, we are talking about a tool watch for divers, and I emphasize, for divers. Now, if you are a desk diver like me, you will find it impressive with its large phosphorescent blue hands, the screw-down crown on the left (so it doesn't bother us on the wrist), the eco-drive function for battery charging from solar or artificial light, and its badass image that made it famous despite being an economical, spartan watch.
As for the negatives, it is not a comfortable watch to wear every day, as I mentioned above, it is a diving tool watch, and it will tire you out. The rubber strap, which costs €85, is extremely rigid. An extension is provided to wear it directly over the diving suit. Another negative aspect is the small date window at 3 o'clock.
Now, regarding the first negative, there are companies like Souma Adapters that, as the name suggests, manufacture 24mm lug adapters, and you can then put on any bracelet or NATO strap you want, with a cost of around €100 including shipping and customs. Otherwise, there is a more economical solution, around €67, with some limitations in quality (some gaps in the fit are visible on the lug if you are picky, which personally I am, but in the end, money is of primary importance, so I ordered the cheaper option, so I will have a more comfortable Ecozilla, even with slightly inferior aesthetic results
The watch is purely for diving, it is not meant to be worn with a suit but for its intended purpose it is perfect. Certified with ISO 6425 300m diver at this price there is no other, no matter how much you search. The ultimate watch for diving and water sports.
This watch is only for divers. When you wear it, it feels like a brick. I sold it because it was too uncomfortable on my wrist. It's a terrible watch, not even worth giving as a gift
It is the third Citizen watch that I have bought and I really don't know what to say about this brand..
The watch doesn't lose a second, just like all Citizen watches..
You can easily see the time at night.
It is sturdy in the hand, a little heavy but just right for such a watch..
I have used it a lot in the sea and water and it doesn't notice anything..
Finally, I didn't believe that with this money I would get such a watch...
It is a real tool for professionals... as a simple enthusiast of this particular model, I immediately understood the exceptional quality of construction and materials it carries, as I have my own collection and there are differences between watches. The strap is made of very good quality rubber, as it should be for a tool for marine and underwater use, so that it is resistant to saltwater. Personally, it does not bother me at all as a material on the skin (if worn correctly and not on the wrist lock). It is compact and actually feels much more expensive. I also notice that the bezel has a slight wobble, but it is all around and not on just one side or point, so they must have designed it that way for a reason (not annoying at all, though). Only good words from me. As for the weight, my opinion is that since it is a tool for underwater use, it tends to contribute to diving like an extra weight. Elegant, beastly, and a tool Made in Japan, of course, with a century of watchmaking expertise from CITIZEN. I am speechless that I have such a gem on my wrist for €237. ⌚
This is the "sacred disc plate" of Citizen! Amazing watch, in every aspect, suitable for diving, water activities, and also for tough use. Highly recommended!
The bezel makes a ticking sound, as someone else mentioned in the comments. The strap adapters are definitely needed - they add character. If you can find it in titanium, even better. It's worth its money. This watch demolishes walls, it's a beast!
Very sturdy, heavy, and beautiful watch... I find it very difficult to put on and take off because the strap is incredibly hard... It annoys me that it makes a ticking sound when you touch the bezel around the glass... these are my first impressions..
I had fallen in love with this watch since I was little... 100% masculine watch for those who know how to distinguish the sturdy construction and quality... CITIZEN FOR EVER
I don't have much to say about this "beast"! Everything has been mentioned in the previous comments! It is a landmark watch for the diver's category now, with its price (due to its simple and minimalist construction, mainly of the eco drive mechanism) ranging from €200 to €250, it is more than just an opportunity! The only maybe flaw is its hard and inflexible strap! By purchasing (after market) adapters to change different straps and bracelets, it is further upgraded! A watch that truly deserves to be in someone's collection and, by extension, on their wrist!
Excellent watch.. incredible construction. Even if it cost 300€, it would definitely be worth it. My wrist is 20cm and it fits perfectly. The luminescent numbers and hands are amazing (photo).
P.S. for the friend who asked if it can be attached to a bracelet. Yes, it is possible but it requires 2 small accessories that you can attach and then you can use any strap.
The best diving watch at 250 euros that has ever existed.. Very strong construction, stainless steel, and anyone who doesn't see it up close can't understand how much of a beast it is... Maybe even after 100 years, they will still talk about this exceptional piece, the Citizen 300 meters waterproof is one of the few... Bravo to the company for this. Amazing sturdy construction that can truly withstand anything
It is truly the top watch of its kind. Citizen... the most popular of all. Promaster, incredible build quality, truly worth 250 euros.... 6mm glass thickness, even watches worth 3000 euros don't have that... It charges even in the shade.... It is durable up to 300 meters, this price is indicative, it has been tested in a video on YouTube at pressures of 800 meters and nothing happened... The best watch someone could buy for this money... You wear it and you feel like you're wearing a 2500 euro watch... The bezel protrudes to protect the glass from scratches and impacts... What can I say about this legend?... A watch that literally never loses a second, it charges from any light source and it is very important to never open it... Diving watches that change batteries lose 50% of their waterproofness... And the reason is that the factory compresses the air with expensive machines, while a watchmaker simply closes the lid... Even if it undergoes decompression, it is not the same... For anyone who wants a real diving watch and not a diving-style watch that will last a lifetime without worrying about batteries and durability... The ecozilla is the only way to go
Sturdy and legible.
Bulky but also heavy.
It's not for everyone.
I liked the feel, but I think it gets tiring after a while.
Watches for a lifetime in terms of durability and timeless style.
For its price, it is good. I use it for diving and everyday swimming and it has not presented any problems. The strap is hard and difficult to use. So far, I enjoy it, we will see after three years.
The powerful ProMaster ☆ECOZILLA☆ "Monster" made of Stainless Steel by Citizen, Made in Japan.
Extremely imposing, beastly, masculine waterproof watch at 300m and beyond, it has been tested at over 800m and nothing happened, there is a video on YouTube, so the 300m is purely indicative, incredibly durable among the few on the planet, 6mm High-Strength Mineral Crystal, top-notch phosphorescence at night, Eco-Drive mechanism powered by any light source.
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Watch the video of the Italian technician, he opens it and changes parts, he basically does whatever he wants--->>> https://youtu.be/Sd89UkNImKY
UPDATE-UPDATE 22 - 11 - 2022.
After 2.5 years of continuous use, the accuracy is unbelievable, it hasn't lost any, I haven't had any issues! It is the best thing I have ever worn...BRAVO!!!
One of the best watches I have bought. 6mm glass thickness that looks like a magnifying lens in water. Screw-down crown for added security that fits well at the 9 o'clock position, it also has hacking for greater accuracy in time synchronization. Very visible dial with long-lasting blue lume in the dark. The build quality of the watch is what you would expect from a professional tool, a wrist instrument for diving, so the size is perfect. One of my favorites, it is comfortable to wear everywhere and when you see it, it captivates and excites you to push it to its limits, after all, it is meant for good dives.
I wore it all day every day in the summer at the beach and now while hunting at work, it doesn't get damaged at all!!!
Really wonderful, the downside is that it doesn't go well with a shirt due to its size and it's a bit heavy.
BRAVO CITIZEN
The watch is beautiful, I have had it for a month, it is sturdy and looks very nice on the wrist without being huge. It has phosphorus that lasts all night and allows you to easily read the time in the dark. I highly recommend it, it is an excellent purchase and it is Citizen!!!! It has a very strong metal, withstands impacts, and has impressive details in its design. It is truly something special to wear every day and even during your dives!!! Also, its mechanism is very accurate!!!! In short, a watch for a lifetime! Ecodrive = charging from all light sources, not just the sun!!!!!
The pros of it.... It is an incredibly sturdy watch with excellent build quality, it has an ecodrive mechanism, 300 meters waterproofing with a 6mm glass.
The cons of it... It is very heavy and you have to tighten it a lot on your wrist to stabilize it, otherwise it spins and it's annoying. The glass is not Sapphire crystal... The bottom part that touches the wrist is textured and very annoying to the point of causing pain after a while.
Overall conclusion is that it is a watch that is worth its price, maybe even more, but it is not suitable for everyday use because it is very, very tiring on the wrist.
#Ecodrive mechanisms have a very simple and minimalist construction. They do not have complex gears. That's why the price of each watch with an ecodrive mechanism is very low. In a plastic plate, there are 3 gears, a battery, and a capacitor. Unfortunately, the mechanism is a bit disappointing, regardless of its reliability.#
#Unfortunately, I sold the watch, I couldn't wear it for more than two hours on my wrist, it was incredibly tiring and annoying. It is clearly meant to be worn over the diving suit and that's why it is made. It's a shame because it is top-notch in terms of construction...#
Unbelievable watch. I have several watches in my possession, from cheap to quite expensive. This particular watch is the best thing to wear. 6mm glass to withstand hydrostatic pressure, which becomes magnifying lens underwater. Three o-rings for sealing on the crown. Internal bars on the strap for absolute security. Of course, eco drive, so no need to open it for battery replacement. Also, screw-down crown, without any other buttons that reduce waterproofing. Extra strap for diving suit. Appearance and feel for €1000 and above!!! Take this watch with closed eyes, it's just amazing!
HONESTLY, IT'S FANTASTIC. The quality is like a 2000 euro watch, I would believe it if someone told me it costs that much. It is sturdy. It has a very good eco drive mechanism. The strap is of excellent quality. Honestly, for only 200€, just get it with your eyes closed. Not a single negative aspect. It is also waterproof up to 300 meters, which is amazing for its price. I am a collector and crazy about watches and horology, trust me, this watch is AMAZING. It also comes with an additional strap piece for divers.
The watch is simply wonderful..... sturdy construction made of steel.... it gives you the feeling that you are wearing an 800 euro watch.... it's a bargain for a watch of this quality.... combined with the eco-drive mechanism that recharges the battery from any light source so you never have to change the battery.... waterproof up to 300 meters, what can I say, a watch for a lifetime.... I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to have a top-notch watch with unlimited battery life and exceptional durability....
Class superior than it appears in the photo. Although the watch is heavy, it weighs very well on the wrist and is very stable, even though I have a small wrist. Incredibly sturdy, very good steel, readable, and anyone who wears it will understand that for its price, it's a steal! It comes with an extension strap to be worn over the suit and in a bottle packaging. Of course, it is now on offer, "as Citizen did in the past with the AY 5000 model 22 years ago," which had dropped from 120,000 drachmas to 69,000 drachmas for a short time, and I had bought it then. A test in a store will convince you that the watch is incredible and worth buying and more!
I bought it today for 250€, a very good watch for the money I spent. I highly recommend it for anyone with a large wrist like mine and who does hard work.
I'm coming back after a year, 20-3-19, its accuracy is unbelievable. If it didn't change the time every 3 months, maybe I wouldn't have to adjust it ever. In terms of construction quality, it competes with watches of the same style that cost 1000€. As for its waterproofness, it simply doesn't notice anything.
