 Out with the old - in with the new May 27, 2010
Gene Thompson (Africa for 2 more months)
My 1992 Citizen AQUALAND watch died after 18 years of use. Citizen offered a trade in with a 50% discount on their website but with shipping and taxes it was only $1.5 less then Amazon. Also, Citizen was out of stock for ??? months.
The new watch has some great new features and I do enjoy how much lighter the watch is to the my older one. I do admit that I don't like the autostart for the dive mode. Wish it was not so sensitve. Just hope I can get 18 years out of this one. The users that are complaining about the battery life, 3 years is great. I use to send my watch back every 6 months (100.00 each time) in the early 90's but I was doing 300+ dives a year.
Hope this helps you!!
 Great stylish watch August 3, 2008

I ordered this watch for a friend in Germany who has not yet seen it. He is coming here at the end of August and will pick it up then. It was considerably cheaper here than in Germany. It's great looking and keeps perfect time but then the Citizen brand is always dependable.
 Great watch - for diving only January 12, 2008

I got this watch to replace my Luminox that aquired a cracked crystal on a dive and flooded. My first impressions were fantastic, but I ran into the problem that if I sweated, or if the humidity in an area were too high, the watch would go into dive mode. End result is that the battery is dead in less than 3 years, AND the watch can only be serviced at an authorzied Citizen service center. If you are looking for a watch to ONLY dive with, this is a great watch. If you are looking for something to dive with and to wear every day, look elsewhere.
Almost perfect... September 17, 2007

This watch is a wonderful, durable backup to your dive computer. Made of titanium, it doesn't suffer from the heavy weight of other dive watches. I absolutely love everything about it, with two exceptions: the placement of the water sensor turns the "dive mode" on if you happen to be sweating; even though the watch is marked to glow in the dark, it is unreadable at night. There's no light and the marking is so poorly designed that you can't make anything out. It is reasonably accurate (about 3 seconds a month).
 Good for diving only... August 28, 2007

The watch hands are virtually indistinguishable at night, making it a poor choice. Good dive features, but I found the dive mode would automatically enter if I went jogging (sweat will activate it). It also goes into dive mode in the shower...not a good design. There ought to be some way of telling the watch, "I'm at the ocean, NOW you can start dive mode."
If you want a watch ONLY for diving, this is a good choice. Otherwise, steer clear!
