The Citizen Watch Brand

The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.

During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.

Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of "world’s firsts" is unmatched.

More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery.

Customer Reviews

Citizen Promaster Diver Watch AJ0100-02E
I love the look of this watch! I have enjoyed it for almost two weeks now and it has kept perfect time to date.

Originally I was attracted to the Seiko SKX173 which I came across first. However I was concerned that the physical size of the Seiko might be too large for my wrist plus reviews indicated its automatic/mechanical movement might not be as accurate as I wanted.

Later I found this Citizen watch which looks virtually identical, yet it is smaller (diameter 38mm vs 43, height 10.5mm vs 13.5), and has a more accurate battery-driven quartz movement.

It also has a longer warranty (5 years vs 3) which probably indicates that the movement is more likely to be trouble-free than the self-winding Seiko.

The only negative I have encountered is that it (as well as the Seiko) come with a fairly bulky rubber strap. While this is more comfortable than I expected, it does tend to interfere somewhat with the drape of the cuff when wearing a long sleeve shirt.

Fine watch for the money
I have owned this watch for almost 4 years now with absolutely no complaints. After going through several cheaper watches to wear at work and on a casual basis I decided to spend a few extra bucks to see if I could get more wear out of one and I am sold on this one. I work in a facility that deals with chemicals that are hard on watches and I also work with mechanical equipment that is hard on crystals and this watch has held up in my working environment quite well. Because I am not a diver, I am not sure that this is a good diving watch but I do fish and play in the Atlantic and this watch has held up through use in the sand and salt with very little care given to it. I am still on my first band and battery and the watch still keeps accurate time. The band is starting to crack a bit but, after what I've put this watch through, I am surprised it has held up this long. The crystal is a tad bit scratched but the other watches that I have had would have blown apart or would at least be cloudy from the blows that it's taken.

20-Years and Still Ticking
This same model watch was purchased for me 20-years ago for my 10th birthday and it still keeps 100% accurate time. The rubberized band tends to were out after about 2-3 years of everyday use. I would suggest replacing it with a stainless-steel metal band, which can be purchased at any major retailer. The metal band also adds to the attractiveness of the watch....at least in my opinion. Overall, a fantastic product !
