Lucky to get this one! April 17, 2010

This watch is one of many designs Citizen created using both Eco-Drive and Radio Controlled technology and in my opinion, it's the best of all. At least for me because all the others, such as the Blue Angels edition, have slide rule dials and bezels. The busy, busy faces of the slide rule/tach styles overwhelm their appearance and few of us use the features they provide. So on my son's recommendation (he's a Citizen freak) I went shopping for this beauty to replace the Casio G-Shock radio controlled (atomic clock accuracy) watch that I have been totally disillusioned with. That's a whole other story and I believe I have reported on that previously.
I should stop here because it is unlikely you can find a new Promaster Carbon Atomic Chronograph unless you buy from Europe or Asia. Citizen, for some mysterious reason, took this watch out of production and I got one of the last in the U.S. from Reeds in North Carolina (with the help of Amazon.com, of course.) You could try there if you wanted this really great timepiece.
I should be telling you of all the great virtues of the Promaster Carbon but others have done a splendid job already. If you are high on deadly accuracy and really good style, this is a watch to have and hold onto. It would be worth trying to locate one. BTW, I am a watch nut and have some very fine time pieces from the likes of Breitling, Rolex (the Sub), Ulysses Nardin, Anonimo, Hublot and others and I am not ashamed to say that this Citizen gets as much wrist time as any other.

I am an avid citizen watch supporter (and purchaser). To date, this is my most favorite watch ever purchased. It looks amazing on your wrist or even just sitting there. It is big, but not too big. The carbon fiber bezel adds a great touch. Both a polished and rugged look. I would recommend adding this to any collection.

This watch is just downright manly. It looks very professional and is built the same. Love the features and the looks.
What A Great Watch! December 3, 2009

My Promaster Carbon showed up a few days ago. I've been using a Citizen Skyhawk for about 8 or 9 years. The two greatest features of that watch are the Eco-Drive solar power and the really slick way you can change timezones. The Promaster takes all the best features of the Skyhawk, adds the radio controlled accuracy, and improves on some things.
It is a bigger watch, but the dial is easier to read. It has luminous marks for all the hours, plus a luminous reference spot on the rotating bezel. The hands are nice and big and have good luminous characteristics.
The Promaster has a feature on the bracelet that allows you to expand the size from you normal adjustment in case you need to wear it over one layer of clothing. This watch has the Citizen fold-over latch which helps prevent accidental openings of the bracelet.
One thing I never needed/used on the Skymaster was the rotating calculator thingy -- which just cluttered things up and didn't rotate all that well anyway. I'll let the pilots up front figure out the time:distance stuff -- hopefully they won't be squinting at teeny-tiny numbers on a watch bezel.
To change modes on the Promaster you to pop the crown out one click, which solves the problem that the Skyhawk has -- self mode-changing through normal wearing (modes change with the crown in the home position).
Since buying the Sykhawk I've been a fan of Citizen watches. The Skyhawk lost maybe 15 seconds a year the first 5 years of use (checked with a GPS). Eco-Drive just makes sense. I've had Seikos which had some of the most bizarre controls, and Casio seems to overreach with features that are flashy, but which don't work all that well -- and that you probably don't need anyway.
The Promaster is one of those watches you look forward to using for many years to come.
Best Watch I Have Ever Owned! November 21, 2009
Rusty Bolt (Texas)
I wanted a classy watch that was highly functional. I travel a great deal across several time zones and needed something that would work for me. I also have a fetish about accuracy. Easy to change and swap home time zones and the atomic time signal keeps my watch accurate. The solar power thing is awesome and keeps a good reserve. It is complicated to a degree, but a bit more intuitive than my other Citizen. This U600 movement is really tops. The watch itself is, well, massive. Extremely masculine and certainly makes a statement. My wrist is relatively small, but it was no trouble with a watch pin pusher to remove a couple of links. The clasp allows minor adjustment so you can get it to the perfect fit with no trouble at all. Some have complained the LEDs don't light up the entire dial, but don't believe it was intended to. Still gives enough light to see the hands in the dark in case the luminescence has gone down.
