Customer Reviews:

Having owned several Citizen Aqualand watches including the Titanium BJ2060-58E and JP1040-09E, among a few others, I expected this Promaster Carbon BJ2105-51E to be finely sculpted as well. While it does embody the typical shape\lines of the Citizen Aqualand series it has more of an angular cut than a curve on its stainless steel ...

[KUNWARAADITYA]

I HAVE THIS WATCH SINCE 2 YEARS AND ENJOYIN THE WATCH.ITS VERY ACCURATE AND VERY EXCELLENT. BRILLIANT WATCH AND PRICE WORTHY.

[davidSYcho]

where did you get the replacement leather band?

[knakker2]

I love this watch and i have it, but it is really bad quality. It damages extremely fast.

The crown broke off 2 times, and inside its a mess (black stuff, moisture...) while i do everything to avoid contact with water.

The glass has a crack now too since 2 weeks ............ i wonder if i should fix the crown AGAIN..(did cost me 20 euro) and i wonder if the glass CAN be removed and fixed again (all not too easy as i live in Thailand.......)

[djrojas]

@knakker2 Has a warranty. You may have a lemon or a fake. Return for money. Should not cost you to repair. Mine is durable and well made

[charliebad]

I bought the all black 36 diamond one, but I decided I needed another as to not over use and damage that one. I looked for weeks for another watch to alternate with this one and in the end I went for the silver white faced version of the 8700. I simply couldn't find another that's as handsome and value for money. These watches are excellent! Seiko came close, but I had to stick with Citizen.

[Coolride17]

Great review, I just purchased this watch, and you explained to me how to see the current month. I couldn't find it in the manual.

[sprtsgrl4lfe]

Hey awesome review, Just wondering how you got a hold of the authentic leather strap? I purchased the brown dial with stainless steel exterior and I can't seem to find the matching leather straps only the one with gold accent deployment clasp. Please point me in the right direction, thanks

[eneskadr]

hi i have just new one citizen model no bl8e87 do u know how much and haw can i charge it

[Chuyto1998]

Are you left-handed?

[yamahonkawazuki]

@Chuyto1998 its weird, im right handed. but set and operate my watches using my left. to each his or her own i guess Eh? there is no wrong hand or side to wear it on

[kitakito]

Can you please tell me where I can purchase similar watch band for the Citizen Calibre 8700 I got for my husband? He looooves the watch, but wanted a band just like the watch on your video. Thank you kindly, DoughFNG!! :)

[mauricijus]

I never thought I would like this kind of watch, BUT after seeing this GREAT review I changed my opinion. Great watch and really nice collection you have there!

[bradilus]

nice vid, where can i find a black faced one?

[AFSC3]

Wow, what a surprised! I have the exact same watch and loving it. It's a very very very attractive watch. I like the eco-drive it's awesome! I love Citizen, it is my favorite brand. This watch has a 5 years warranty.

[zudiloz]

I just bought one from Paris Jewellers but it didnt come with a box or anything at all, I had to go to the site just to program the phone.Anyone know why they didnt provide these things?

[mrignitable]

does this citizen watch have an auto relay function that Seiko auto relay kinetic perpetual calendar has?

i'm in a dilemma between the two choices...

and does the color of the leather strap fade if kept out of sunlight or not in use for a long period of time?

thanks for your kind attention :)

[ementul]

Can anyone tell me where i can buy an genuine leather strap for this watch ? (i own 1 exactly like the one in this video, very nice watch) thanks for video!

[cbnchs]

This was very helpful . Thank you. I'm ordering one today!

[urbrainwashed2]

could you please tell me where you got the leather strap from and what size it is, my metal band is getting all scratched up as well and the leather one looks great!

[DeejayCassette1]

wow you deff. sold me on buying this watch

[badgerhockey99]

nice watch, i have an eco drive and i kept in in a jewelry box and when i wore it it didnt work, is this because it wasnt charged by light? btw are you from NY?

[demetree003]

Two questions 1.where did you pick up that leather deployment band. 2. When you demonstrated the look on the wrist you put it on your right wrist. Do you happen to be left handed or was it just more convenient at the time of shooting the video?

[nemesis4k]

is this better looking or is the diamond and gold version in this better? this is the diamond one BL8042-54E

[Ercolano78]

I also have Calibre 8700, it's great watch.

[Turnyface]

Where did you get the leather strap?

[sbscottw]

Thanks for taking the time to post this

[proatmetazine30906]

I bought my first citizen three years ago saving a months worth of checks at a grocery store.I paid $550, I got this two tone citizen 8700.Mine has 36 diamonds equaling a carat.It has been well worth the money.I do not walk past many people with a better watch than mine.I am 19 now and I want to get the next step up.What watches should I look at.I like mechanical gold bracelet watches.I want diamonds to.

[guitarMclassical]

This is an amazing watch.

[airtouch01]

Seiko spring drive ist beste!!!

[hss371]

صرحه الساعه مره استخدامها حلو وعمليه ووضايفها ماهي موجوده فاكتر الساعات انا لمن جربتها ماحبيت اغيرها

[healthyfortune]

Great review Would like to know how you change the watch strap from metal to leather

[AJAX556]

Wow, I've had my watch for 4 years and never knew it did all that stuff....

[themagician90]

@AJAX556

All those years and you didn't know it could tell you the time?

[nemesis4k]

@themagician90 LOL!

[colbolt360]

Looks too big for you

[colbolt360]

Looks too big for you

What he said is:

The accused need to be so lean that the position longer than one or something is wrong with my watch to get into? My crown I

[mancs92]

が傾く　そうより長い間告発される必要があるにはポジション1に入るため­に私の時計を得る　あるいは　何かが間違っている？　私の王冠で私

[hallal55]

do you have the black one? I never seen real pictures of the black eco drive calibre 8700

i want one but i have to see how it looks! :(

[edd1912]

Great watch, great review. Cheers old chap

[Limpingwolf101]

i cant get my watch to go into position 1, does it need to be charged longer? or is something wrong with my crown.

[extenze10]

i own this watch in white with the bracelet. Awesome go to watch ultra reliable and the functions are incredible

[bobodinvs]

Hi.How much did you pay for the leather band and where did you buy it from?

I just got a citizen caliber 3100 ,it has a stainless steel bracelet and I would really like to get a leather band for it for the casual wear.

Thanks!

[supergrover911]

Can you use a leather band with straight spring bars on this watch?

[fdsman]

Judging by the way you handled the objects in the video, and the wrist you put the watch on I'd say you're left handed.

[swedhockey0394]

hey is this swiss made or Japanese i've heard both?

[elenchus]

Citizen is a Japanese brand

[alexlex85]

watches should be worn on left hand wrist

[angelam1029]

@alexlex85

Not if you're left handed.

[rizwan1983]

Any chance u can review a Citizen Chronomaster watch?

[rizwan1983]

Hi. Good review. I own the BL8000-03A model, which has a white face and black strap. The hour markings are slightly different from your watch, but the movement is the same.

Though I love the watch. Its beautiful really. I would say that Citizen's finish on the watch is a little sub par: scratches too easily. Also the original citizen strap deteriorated very quickly in about a year, and I had to replace it. Also I find the strap buckle has issues and keeps popping out.

But the movement is fine.

[ForwardN2Unknown]

Would this look ridiculous on a woman? I want a watch with complications, and I love the alarm, but I can't find a women's version.

[Monito1971]

I just ordered this watch, but the version with the stainless steel bracelet and brown metallic dial BL8000-54X. I think Citizen just released this variant as it is not shown in the 2009 Citizen USA AD official product catalog.

[anjav6]

what is the price?

[avalino79]

look at that...i might start purchasing band watches again.

[anjav6]

great review,beautiful watch.nice job

[skrabba123]

Can anyone tell me what the lug size is if I get a leather strap? Is it 20 or 21mm?

Thanks!

[Poewasabostonian]

Thanks for the review on this watch, excellent job!!

Just wondering, I have the 8700 also and would love to order the leather strap w/deployment clasp...where would you recommend me buying this from on the web(preferrably). Thanks

[LordBentoR]

I would like to know this too actually, try as I might I haven't been able to find any place that sells them :(

[StevenJamesJ]

Nice review. Feature rich watch!

[roughrider119]

How many seconds do you gain or lose each day with this model?

[StevenJamesJ]

I imagine the Earth consults this watch to confirm whether it's spinning at the correct speed. HTH.

[olefrithjof]

less than +/- 15 sec each month

[ERod2022]

I did not know you could check the alarm by pushing bottom right button, Thanks.

[stanislawschikierski]

pena que não esta um portugues mas deu para entender alguma coisa

[LordBentoR]

Awesome video, discovered a lot of features I was not aware of before. Definitely buying one now!

[peterschein]

that would interest me too where you bought it!

[ripper1323]

Doug, Thanks for a good review. Can you tell me where you purchased the strap from (with the deployment clasp).

[stanlemieux]

Fantastic review Doug. Clear and concise enough to capture us youtube surfers of short attention span. Look forward to seeing more great work from you.

[Oceanspell]

Great review Doug. I own the same watch and I chose a solid black leather strap. Thanks!

[12scratch12]

Wow, that is an amazing watch. I was originally searching for another watch, but definitely going to look into this one. Thanks for the review!

[DougFNJ]

You got it, I have received quite a few compliments on this one.

[atlantic47]

what if ur not a citizen though? will they still sell u the watcH? i'm mexican and have been deported 3 times so i finally just went ahead and got a fake green card

[jumpthestump]

Thanks for another great and detailed video. I have this watch as I stated in one of your other videos. Its really a great watch. Watching this video has helped me form an opinion on the leather band. I might get one.

I also noticed your box is slightly taller than mine? You have any idea why?

[DougFNJ]

I know the boxes they put out a few years ago were taller, they also didnt include the CDROM like they do now.

[namehisname]

Hey Doug, I have a serious question about these Citizen watches. I have a sleeping disorder lol, I can't sleep when I hear ticking sounds from my watch, does these citizen watches tick? Or completely silent? Thanks

[Agloopa]

I have a Citizen Eco-Drive watch and in the dark when there's not enough light to charge the solar cell (example: when you're sleeping), the second hand stops completely to save power while it internally keeps track of time. It becomes absolutely silent. When you turn on the lights again, the second hand will resume operation. I believe most Eco-Drive watches do this.

[claude7777]

actualy it's optional... you can turn it off if you want to.

[yztuc]

they are almost completely silent. Unless you keep it next to your ear you won't hear them. I have one too, but i have the model with the white screen.

[DougFNJ]

You are very welcome

[STHFNGLD]

thank you! :D
