A Serious Dive Watch That’s All Business

I’ve been trying to get my hands on all sorts of divers lately. This is a result of critically assessing WYCA’s content, realizing that I’ve covered dress watches extensively, and have only reviewed a handful of divers. So, in June, I decided to make dive watches a thing that I learned and talked about more.

Enter a series of divers, including this choice Citizen Promaster. Powered by an Eco-Drive quartz movement, and with styling only an underwater welder could love, the Promaster BJ8050-08E is one of the few watches I’ve come across where the photos do not at all demonstrate the entirety of it.

Suffice to say that this Promaster is 100% business, built tough as nails, and designed to handle itself under pressure. With a common street price of under $225, it’s also an affordable option that gives its wearers more for less. So, let’s go for a deep dive as we explore the Citizen Promaster BJ8050-08E!

I’d like to thank Certified Watch Store, who we partner with to make reviews like this happen, for providing me with this Promaster to photograph and review.
