[rgbs]

Good day all. This is my 1st watch review, I hope u guys enjoyed it like I do.
Considered as my wishlist 2013.....

Order on-line on 22/01/2013; received on 23/01/2013.

Arrived morning...faster than I thought. Can't wait to dig in!!


The packaging comes with the white Citizen box, the thick instruction booklet and the warranty card. Most importantly the Citizen Promaster BJ2120-07E.


Material
Strap: Synthetic Rubber 
Case: Stainless Steel + DLC coated Bezel
Glass: Mineral Glass
Water Resistant: 200m
Movement: Eco-Drive(B740)

Specification
1.24hrs and Date Display
2.Chronograph
3.Depth Display to 50m
4.DLC ( Diamond Like Carbon - great hardness & excellent abrasion resistance )
5.Eco-Drive ( recharged by any light source, no need to change battery)
6.Insufficient Charge Warning Function
7.Made In Japan
8.Maximum Depth Memory
9.Overcharge Prevention Function



Case size approx 43mm (Case+Sensor+Crown=50mm ). Lug size is 22mm, the strap moulds on my wrist pretty well but the material of the strap feels too soft and fragile. This particular mdl needs more care, especially the depth sensor. It needs cleaning with a tooth brush (got this advice from a dealer). I have not tried the diving function yet as I dun dive..will give it a try in a swimming pool. The depth detection sensor has a dive memory which records down the last dive. Maximum depth is  record is 50m(more than enough for me)
Can some1 tell me what is the Gold color button on the side of the depth sensor. I cannot find anything on the website and not much review on this watch also......i dun think it is a Helium release mech,200m only....


A high dose of UV.....
 

The lume of the watch is a big dissapointment because it is too small and it does not last long (in my opinion).


 A nice close up.....

The back case is ugly ( will up-date pic), just some writings and the engravings are not well made.
The solar function is a new thing for me as i never owned 1. To fully charge the batery, u need to unlock the crown and stop the whole watch. Let it soak under the sun or indoor lighting....let it work for 2-5 hrs.
For the price below RM1.4k, this watch is a sure win....lots of function, no batery change, looks awesome and Made in Japan.
I hope u guys like this review...

  Happy Chinese New Year to all!!!!!

It's an awesome observe and one of the better looking on the eco-drive divers IMO. My personal experiance with it is that the switch is a little messy and the silver hands on grey dial can be a bit difficult to study in low mild. Although the lume is thin it is bright and lasts all night.
