Diving watch: the Citizen that everyone agrees on

See price and reviews partner

Highlights

  • Robustness and proven reliability
  • Eco-Drive technology = unlimited range
  • Excellent value for money
  • Serious waterproofing

Weak points

  • Mineral glass (vs sapphire)
  • Basic bracelet
  • Not very original design

Verdict: The Citizen is solid, waterproof and precise. Blue dial easily readable day and night. Robust construction, convenient solar charging. The rubber strap is stiff but you can change it. No charge indicator but no big deal. Pay attention to the size according to your wrist. For this price, it’s difficult to find a better diving watch. I validate.

Interesting alternative: The Seiko 5 SRPD55K1 for a more vintage style, or Orient Ray II for better value for money in automatic.
