- Citizen MontBell titanium function is beauty
This collaboration watch is superb and instantly warranted me purchasing my own. Big thanks to Jim for lending in.

No idea if this place is good, just giving a link

Thanks for the great review and sharing this with the community Rob! So stoked you're getting this piece. The Fort Collins signal comes in every night so hopefully you'll be good to go. I'm in mid-50's - so the hunt eliminated a lot of beautiful watches that were tough to read. Sakura is a great shop to purchase from, and they seem to get the limited edition JDM models right out of the oven. And yes Rob it will probably stay on this goldilocks bracelet until I pass it down someday. Keep the ProTrek and Square reviews coming and hope to see more field watches as you guide us along your journey!
Thanks much for lending this in. Amazing watch
Great looking piece Jim. The Citizen PMD56 Rob reviewed a while back is mine, it's very similar to this one. The dial on mine is a bit less busy, but doesn't have the world time feature. Mine shows the day and the date, and the numberals and indices are opposite on mine vs this one. I've got a nice tool-less adjust clasp, but mine only picks up the Japanese radio signal. All that said...had this one been available when I bought mine, I don't know, that's a tough choice. I like the look of mine a bit better, and I like the clasp and slightly lower price on mine, but I like the better functionality of this one, and I think it still looks great. So I can totally understand you picking this one over the PMD56.
Oh, and Rob, as far as it picking up the signal in four places vs multi-band 6, if my memory is correct the MB6 refers to six different towers, but both Europe and China have two towers each. So four areas and MB6 are basically just two different ways to describe the same thing I think. I could be wrong tho haha.
@@dustingaddis2423 Thanks for the good energy Dustin - what's killer about your model is having the adjustable clasp and the Day and Date. There are so few solar day+date units out there anywhere (why is that?). I strongly considered getting your model and just running the phone app that simulates the Fort Collins radio signal. The timezone switching closed the deal.
Jim Hine I've been considering the Protrek climber line but with this styling, it may become the solar radio analog watch for me. Like you, legibility for my aging eyes is an important criteria. I'm glad others are conscientiously searching for those pieces that check all the boxes. Thanks for sending it in and to Rob for his enthusiastic review.
@@pherble I have a PRW-6600YBE-5JR and the big arabic numerals are also easy to read, so I'm sure you'll be happy either way. The Pro Treks' composite cases are super light and you can work the buttons with gloves on (the longer strap will fit over the sleeve of your shell)
Let’s face it , it’s a great watch that would do everything well . Classic rugged Legible great specs . This channel has been on fire 🔥
I never thought I would be taken by a $600 quartz citizen, but this piece is beyond amazing. There is so much practicality built into this watch. It also has a killer design. The titanium and gunmetal color really set it off.
I've the steel one for 1/3 ish of the price
@@MrPINKFL0YD whats the name and model number for steel?
@@Inkushu There is no steel version of this watch. Red, is confused.
is it pvd coated? does the black colour come off in time?
I have one of those on the tan leather strap and bluish dial - I love it. I bought it for traveling....lightweight and disappears on the wrist with the leather strap, isn't overly flashy/attracts unwanted attention but still looks good, easy to change time zones, radio controlled, extremely legible, comfortable, good lume, daylight savings time on/off, etc. Such a good watch.
New subscriber who is binge watching all your videos, and I ran into this video and I was taken by this watch as well...took a lot of searching to find anyone in Japan that had any new ones left; but, got lucky and did not get gouged. Absolutely agree with everything you've said...terrific watch. Now that I've left the office for remote work, this style goes with everything I wear these days! Thanks so much for the introduction, Rob!
Always liked that piece. Beautifully done watch, it’s got the tactical, durable, stealth look. The BN01-21-51L I feel is on point.
Thanks so much for the review RR.
That’s the perfect every day watch.
Replace the date wheel with large numeral to made the dial more symmetrical, replace 'function is beauty' with WR 200 and downsize the case to ~40 = perfection.
Also really like your channel Rob.
Wow, my thoughts exactly! Seiko, Casio or citizen could clean up if they made a true modern quartz explorer type watch.
I love it. I don't blame you for buying your own. Great review. Thanks.
McMahon you getting one yourself and why no??
@@kovac_kd Tempted to get one or re-buy the slightly larger CC3060 and put on a Hexad bracelet. I love Citizen's big numeral easy to read dial style watches. I need one of those styles in my collection. I suspect the CB0171 is more comfortable: smaller and no peanut butter cup crown. I love them both though.
@@JeffreyMcMahon In my opinion cb0171 will fit your collection better then cc3060 it will bring nice balance to your collection , both watcher are great though.cheer pal
@@kovac_kd Tough. I love them both.
For $400 The Oceanus is less cluttered on the dial which looks better in my opinion, I beat the hell out of mine and it keeps right on ticking! Amazingly no scratches on the thing! I don't know what kind of titanium they use but its next level and looks almost like stainless steel
Casio Oceanus line is superb.
which model of oceanus did u own? how is the scratch resistant coating holding up there?
Such a cool featured, looking watch. Thanks Rob for introducing us to these finds.
Phenomenal. I really hope Citizen releases this as a standard model.....without Mont-Bell on the dial.
I have to say, I'm really getting into more high quality quartz watches like this one. I just purchased the Casio Protrek based on your review.
I just ordered this. Checks all my boxes for a quartz in my rotation. Thanks Rob.
The black one with the red second hand is still available new. I just bought one, it is the only one in this style type that has full world radio reception (the PMD56-2952 is quite a bit cheaper, nice looking, but the radio reception is confined to Japan).
Thanks for the review of this Mont-Bell. I picked up the field watch version of the Citizen-Mont Bell collaboration "Field" watch (model # BN0121-51L) exactly a year ago. The case is made of base titanium with the proprietary Duratect coating and the crystal is sapphire. So far, my Mont-Bell has no visible scratches and I am very impressed with it. Please keep the Promaster reviews coming.
I too am a retired teacher. I love it! I go on road trips on a moment's notice and read. I took a trip to Alaska last month. I attend conferences on mound builders, or indigenous people, and meet those who share my interests.
Thank you for the review. Based on it, I purchased the CB0171-97E recently for my retirement watch. I've already worn it while travelling to two national parks and one national Lake Shore. For travel, it is effortless to change time zones, I get the radio signal every night in the Midwest. It's a watch I can wear all day long due to the light weight titanium and with 20 bar water resistance it stays on while kayaking and swimming. Keep up the great work!
What is the difference between CB0171-97E and CB0171-89E?
@@MaximSupernov The 89E is a limited edition model. A cosmetic difference is that the second hand is white on the 89E and red on the 97E. The titanium coating on the 97E is more scratch resistant than on the 89E. I can attest to the scratch resistance on this watch. It is looking great after about 1/2 year of daily wear. Other than the limited edition, color of the second hand and the titanium coating, I believe the watches to be identical. Good luck choosing!
@Dave Toso Thanks Dave!👍
Finally, I found the watch that I've been searching for. Radio control for America, Japan, and Europe. Titanium (strong and light). 200m water resistance. Good loom. Premium look, field watch style. TY Rob.
Thanks for showing this watch. It looks unique.
You can't go wrong with citizen. Their promaster range is bulletproof. At the moment the only watch I own is citizen promaster bn0100 I don't baby this watch at all and it's still going strong. I feel that in many ways the watches from citizen's promaster line are better than the g shock from Casio.
the movement is used again in the CB0270-87A. this video is one of the few that shows how to use the time/GMT features. funnily enough, the secondhand design is used in the non-promaster version.
Modern-day version of the Explorer. Bravo!
That is a cool watch.
Try get your hands on Seiko SKA721 - nice military design for a very cheap price. I don't think I'll sell mine now that I got one.
Great looking piece! Highly functional 🤟
woof ...
i am a hugh fan of montbell ...
it s beautiful ...
Mont Bell outdoor apparel is all great and really high quantity.
Very nice, I like all of the features and especially the titanium case and bracelet.⌚️
I need to get a second and third job because all the watches I want are just outside my budget!
735.00 is way out side of my budget.
One of the best all around sports watch.
However, the slightly larger than ideal size (~39mm) and price could be better.
Data Lighter Check out the citizen PMD56-2952. I bought this one after seeing Robs review and it’s perfect. Almost identical specs but has the 39mm case size.
Calibre H145 with Automatic Hand Correction Feature. Radio time correction equivalent to "Multiband 6"
The second hand is the power meter also
Love the crown and seconds hand
Jim must have been hitting this hard my duro tech coating Citizen looks brand new after a couple of years.
Hey Rob, was looking around while waiting for my CB-0171-89E to be delivered and I found that a CB-0177-23E has been released with the black dial, but with a black DLC with the Duratec but at about $80-100 more. The citizen site shows the DLC only being on leather strap, I'm assuming because they aren't going to produce a DLC bracelet. I'm looking forward to your full review and can't wait to get mine (out for delivery tomorrow morning)! Edit: Ebay listings for the CB-0177-23E sometimes show a blue dial with non-black finish on leather and sometimes a black dial on leather, but that may be incorrect. The Citizen.jp site only shows black dial in black DLC case, so buyer be clear on what you are buying.
I also just received my CB-0171-89E (it is a beauty), and I think there isn't a brown colorway so much as in bright light the dial has a brown vs pure black hue. So that means the 89E is the bracelet regular titanium with a gray/brownish dial, the CB0177-23E is a black DLC case on leather (can't tell if the dial is more black than the 89E), and the CB0171-11L is the blue dial with regular titanium finish on leather. This is all based on pictures on the Citizen.jp site for each individual model. Hope this helps for anyone ordering via EBay.
Jim Tyler thanks for clarifying. If the non-Duratect blue dial was offered with the bracelet I probably would have bought it but this deep brown face and nearly eggshell numerals have grown on me and happy I got this one. I bought and returned another titanium Citizen - with Duratec - and the whitish silver color was super cool.
Cool sword hands man.
Id prefer the Montbell on the case back! Nevertheless, it's an amazing tool watch but expensive...
So I am confused does this watch get a signal in the US? Both this review and the Bruce Williams review show watches that dont get a signal....
Hi Rob! That is a great looking watch. I bought the PMD56-2952 based on your review and absolutely love it! I'm wearing it right now. The watches look very similar in specs and aesthetics. How do they compare for you personally and which one do you prefer? Thanks
They are both great and will come down to what look you prefer. I ended up buying the MontBell version.
I’m torn between the PMD56 and this. This is cheaper but it’s cased in China whereas the PMD56 is Made in Japan.
Between this watch and citizen pmd 56 and oceanus t200 and t3000, which one would you recommend for 17cm wrist size?
Super cool! I want one Dammit! 😂
I kinda miss my BN0200. Loved the titanium case and bracelet, solar movement and excelent lume. Had to let it go due to the 45mm diameter and simply too long lug to lug distance. Bought a Certina Precidrive Diver as a replacement. Good watch, but I might have gotten this instead if I knew about it.
I’m one of the older ones who require larger Numbers in Arabic #!
3 years later I know, but if anyone’s interested I got one of these for sale. Same as this one but mine is the variant with the red seconds hand.
How much?
Is the 48mm lug to lug including or not including the extra length added by the end-links?
Not included
Great review , and great looking watch. What other variants do they do and would you know the model numbers by any chance? I cant find much about this watch on-line and on Citizen's site
can you get it without that advertisement on the dial?????
Nice. But It would not get any wrist time because of my Citizen BN0118-04E.
I would like it more if Citizen would use their GPS time sync
I like my Citizen F900, but this watch has a very classy look about it.
What the hell man...I was about to buy Casio Oceanus until I saw this review....probably need to buy both 😅
7 INCH WRIST yeah but this has a screw down crown !!! Oceanus despite the name does not . It’s a deal breaker for me . Sorry rant over
@@zachward7707 you made a very good point there 👌
I have the Oceanus 100 (can’t remember the full model number) and the lack of water resistance is my main criticism. This has the buttons in the same place, the same functionality, and from the hour hand going backwards seems to have the same number of motors. I suspect they licensed the module from Casio and repackaged it. It would make very good sense to do so.
YES!!! And a non-diver to boot.
How brown is the face? Some pictures look like a light black but others look really brown. Thanks!
How/Where should I go about buying one of these from USA?
Just got a Citizen pmd56 but the minute hands does not hit the marks... didnt expected that. And the A button is wobbly
Can send back?
@@RandomRobReviews I dont think so. Pretty sur that it would fall under the "accepted manufacturer tolerances".
Is there a version without the montbell logo thing on the dial?
A rare Chinese model I've seen posted, but not cheap.
hell yeah mont- bell sleeping bag -20 down bag
42mm?😪 thought it was much smaller.
I am more for Seiko SRPA71,
you have reviewed that one some time ago.
How does this wear compared to the Promaster Tough?
Much slimmer and more comfy.
Do you have a black on white rather than white on black? How much💵💵❓
How can you adjust the time manually???
On several listing for this watch they say it has world time. Did you figure out how to use it?
Where's the best place to get one please alan
Does this have a stopwatch feature
Watched this review a bunch of times. After finally getting my Hamtun H2 titanium diver delivered I am extremely impressed by the feel of a good titanium timepiece. I’ve always had my eye on this and even more so now. Super cool piece! Thanks for the review and the good look at this model RR. Any suggestions on where to order one or the PMD56 living in Canada? Anyone , Thanks guys !
I've come back to watch this again. I havent been able to shake this one since this video. Do you still have this? Long term review video/comment? Any advice on where to save on one?
Nice watch, I'm a big fan of Citizen. Not as smart as the PMD56-2952 though!
Any update on your own watch and a full review? This looks awesome.
Very nice looking but i do not play in the citizen world that often is 630$ worth it?
The previous Citizen Montbell titanium 40mm unit is about half the cost right now in 3-4 colorways if you don't need the radio control. Good luck!
I've just ordered mine. I was not aware it's a limited model. Great for a collector.
I own many watches and have flipped many. This seems a one watch do it all for me .
Very nice.
Citizen seems to like ruining their watch dials with unnecessary/cluttered text.
Handsome watch
What’s a brand with auto movement that is equivalent?
Love everything about this watch but I’m not buying anymore quartz
The Seiko SARG009 is an auto in a similar design style to this one.
İts pity that it does not have a day on it
It reminds me of the Seiko Alpinist.
The watch is nice but you can get similar features with a CB1120 for less money.
cb0171-89e, I was like model cb0171, price 89euro great watch for that price LOL
What is the watch on your wrist
I was wearing the gshock MTG
Does this watch really get a signal in the US? I think it's a Japanese domestic market only. That's why I'm asking. I just want to be sure before I get it. Love the vids.
Picks up the Fort Collins signal here in Idaho.
@@jimhine Thanks! I'm guessing if you get a signal in Idaho I'll get one in Illinois and California. Sometimes those JDM don't get a signal in the US. That is such a pretty watch. Can't wait to get it.
Bought it! It's on the way. Thanks for everything!
How much
I paid $560 USD
That's a pretty good find@@jimhine
that's a nice one
Nice video
That’s pretty killer 🤔🤔
What is a MTG?
Casio G-Shock!
"(World 4 area reception) Equipped with
Japan / China / Europe radio reception"
And “America’s” per manual
@@RandomRobReviews Official Japan site need to be update :)
Great video.
Easy buy if not for mont bell in giant letters and the dopey ‘function is beauty’ silliness. Ruins the look for me.
Realy nice one but that enormus Mont bell sucks it ruins all the dial.Cheers.
I may need to unsubscribe to your channel my friend. You are costing me way too much money these days. This might be one I need to add to the collection. Need to sleep on it but damn I like this one A LOT.
Just window shop, that’s why I do.
Eh you know I’m just messing with you. Love the content keep it up.
$805 Ca
forget it no way im paying that for this watch there better brands out there that you can buy for $805
And their autos
Nice watch....too big.
:)
Lot's of "I don't know". Typical RUclips review.
I don’t know, seems pretty legit.
@@RandomRobReviews Legit for someone not doing a review. Shouldn't you know what you're talking about if you are going to do a review? Just don't review the watch until you do know.
I don’t know if what I do is a review. I don’t know but I think it’s more like showing a watch on video so people can seem them in motion.
"lent in"??? How about proper grammar -- Loaned is the word.
I will look into that. Thanks much
Rp Mcmurphy HaHa yup you’re right!
It was my understanding that there are redundant radio towers that cover Japan and Western Europe.
