Big thank you once again to Alex for the loan of his Aqualand. A lot of fun this watch, and definitely one I'd consider had I not just bought an Arnie. Oh, and the 24mm lugs. Cheers, Jody
My dad has the original C0023 release, which he got around 1986. He was a diver and used it constantly. I loved playing with the bezel as a kid.
He recently found it during a spring cleaning. He gave it to me, put new batteries in it (3 in total), and got a brand new rubber NDL strap. I now use it as my grab-and-go watch.
Almost 40 years old and still ticking away!
3 batteries? That is very considerate as it would save people pressure tests.
Keep it with care! in the future it will be a nice think back to your father
That’s awesome! I have the newer one it’s only 5 years old but it’s been all over the world diving. The newer one only has one bigger battery hopefully holds up as good as yours!😉👍
Citizen is so underrated. I have 4 Eco-Drives that are all accurate to 4 seconds a month.
Citizen and Casio are the two best overall brands and the best for reliability etc.
The only Citizen I wanna get is Promaster Tough, its discontinued so I have to spend a fortune for one.
@@bigboiganiga8356 , you can still find them new in a shop in UK, bought mine from them in October for 300£. Plus taxes, obviously. It’s the Ray Mears 300m titanium, excellent watch.
@@bigboiganiga8356 I have the standard steel Tough and also the new version of the titanium "Ray Mears". Both are great.
I picked up the standard jp2000 a couple of years ago and have taken it on every dive since. The depth meter is incredibly accurate. It's probably the last "real" diver before the hyper aqualands and dive computers came along.
Nice to hear so many stories about people who actually used or use this for diving. It gives me hope for mankind that not everyone is sitting on the couch .
I'm looking at one to buy for couching and gaming
Such an awesome watch, had one of these since late last year. The original was issued to RAN clearance divers, proper piece of kit!
That's the one, that's why I love me a Citizen Diver! My uncles were all avid divers back in the day and had this one on their wrists when doing so and also just for every day use. I am no diver, but my Promaster Eco-Drive has been on my wrist daily for two years now. But maybe I have to get this one as well, just for the nostalgia?
Which model do you wear?
@@folksurvival the simple BN0150. All I need in a daily context!
@@trulsdirio Thanks, I thought it probably would be the BN0150.
And again the Japanese show that a quartz seconds hand can hit the markers quite constantly! Good job Citizen! My Citizenwith Eco Drive and Bluetooth even lets you change the position of the hand set, so you could reposition them if they are off 👍
It’s 1 o’clock in the morning people keep it down
Nonsense, it's now just past 11:00, and my neighbors are used to it.
0600
UTC
Damn 😮 growing up surrounded by divers this kicked me right in the nostalgia
If Citizen updated the JP2000 with Eco-Drive technology, it would be the cat’s meow. 🙏🏼
Not my cup of tea but i always respect a good piece from the 80s. What i particularly like about this Aqualand is the same about the NY0040: it doesn't try to be anything else other than a solid, professional-looking dive watch.
Citizen seems to go under the radar even below Orient; perhaps this is good, since the top name of japanese watchmaking is too busy overpricing its offerings.
I dont worry about dress codes and what watch to wear.The traditional dress watch days have long gone for most.I turned up last week at my father in laws funeral wearing a Timex and odd socks.
Yes standards have really slipped. Everything in regards to aesthetics, effort, etc is declining rapidly.
2:38 Wearing a giant Rolex (or any other giant expensive watch) with a nice suit is an expression of insecurity. “Look at me! I’m a tycoon!” The exact opposite of me wearing my 25mm white gold mid 1960s Cellini. Which screams, “Look at me, I’m trying so hard to be understated! It’s a mechanical wind!”
The Citizen Promaster “Barnacle” is known as a “flying diver” because the watches were worn by the Pakistani Air Force for years. This model of the Citizen Promaster Aqualand has been associated with members of elite RAN Clearance Divers since the 1990s. Even today, graduates of the Clearance Divers training program are given these watches at the graduation ceremony.
Kinda cool design. Has Citizen ever done a mesh bracelet? Would be fun to put one on it and get it close to the PLOPROF.
I have an original Aqualand Promaster. I found a NOS recently, many many years after I lustfully window shopped it, but couldn't dream of affording it, when I was a brand new 19-year old diver. I think it says a lot for the watch that the features and design are basically unchanged between then and now. A definite classic and well worth the money IMHO.
10:23 You are correct that there is no auto dive mode, Jody. You have to depress the mode button to get to the dive log, and then press the select button to activate the water-sensor. When you see 0.0 and the little DIVE sign blinking, that’s how you know you are ready to record your drop into the depths! 🤿
Now, if Citizen would create a Eco-Drive version of this Aqualand Promaster with the same design language (like what Seiko did with the solar Arnie), THAT would be the cat’s meow! Imagine being a dive instructor in some exotic locale and having such a watch that wouldn’t require a battery change every two years… 😊
This is a depth gauge with an added clock feature.
Had the original when I was in the RAN in the ‘90’s and considered getting the reissue in that same colourway but opted for this fully lumed version. It’s great.
As a U.S. Marine, who also served in the ‘90s, I thank you for your service! Rock that Promaster Aqualand in good health! 🫡🇦🇺🇺🇸
@@kevinong1306 Cheers mate. Semper Fi!
Jody, I think this watch is a perfect example (as are most cushion cases) that the bezel OD is a very important dimension. Would be a great detail to add to your videos, especially considering no one else really does it.
Nice one! I also had one 30 years ago and rebought the green version last year the JP2007-17X still love it! Nice to see in the comments that this is recognized by enthousiast as a “legible” diver with great history. Kinda strange that I haven’t seen more reviews but than again there is only one that rulesz! Thanks for another great review!!!
I really like that Citizen puts long silicone bracelets on their diving watches, because I have a wide wrist and I have a problem when I buy a watch that doesn't have a bracelet long enough for my wide wrist. Citizen, congratulations on that solution. Well done.💪💪💪
Proper 80s dive colours. The guys at BSAC dive instructors club would have been losing their minds when this came out. Still looks amazing.
The 80's Aqualand Beast is BACK 😲
It'll look awesome on a Black & Yellow or Black & Gray 24mm NATO strap 👍
Full lume dial for the Win !
I have a original 80's model. Great when washing up dishes 👍😂
It’s a pity they didn’t incorporate their Eco-Drive technology in this one.
The Arnie has the edge on this, being solar powered, and having a motorised movement that is always in sync with the digital display.
On top of that, there is a backlight and a Casio-esque hourly beep.
Do like the design and colour combination on the Citizen.
I totally dig it! Thinking of taking scuba classes to get recertified and this would be the perfect wrist companion. Cheers!
This piece would be absolutely perfect with an ECO-DRIVE battery!
Jody great review of a real diver’s watch as are all Citizen divers. As a former PADI Divemaster I appreciate the watch for its intended use. I don’t have this one yet but I do have several other Citizen divers and love them all.
That out of sync seconds hand and digital readout would drive me insane.
It’s just that Jodi didn’t set the watch prior to recording…once set you don’t have the issue.
Yea one you set them they stay synced.
My favorite Citizen watch ever! So happy they reissued it! Thank you sir for this awesome review!
Just bought one from the new Citizen Boutique on 😊5th Ave NYC. Great customer service and amazing discount as well
Jean Reno's watch in the movie "the Big blue". I love it!
So good to hear enthusiasm for a Citizen, I don’t own one though, I guess GShock proves you don’t need sapphire?
Really cool citizen. I really like anadigi’s right now. The 1 thing I don’t like that you didn’t point out was the minute seems small for the size of the dial.
Now THAT's a watch I would use for diving. Not exactly pretty but the obvious purposefulness makes it quite awesome looking. Amazing that they got the L to L that small and combined with the standard underrated Citizen quality it's a clear winner.
A REAL dive watch
Thanks for another Citizen review Jody and the combination of lemon + gunmetal grey works a treat but they really needed to add an newer module as the last thing you want is compromising the Divers ISO when changing battery!? Cheers to Alex for the loan as it made for a great video 🏆
Nah, a new caseback gasket and you're good to go!
Ive got one of the originals from back in the late 80s, Very popular with the dive pros and recreational divers of that period. A classic!
Having done a little Scuba diving this could be a real back up, it really has all same functions as a cheap Suunto Mosquito dive computer and wears about the same, quite cool.
Love it, can't go wrong with a Promaster. I've often looked at these and may pick one up at some point. I'm wearing my full lume NY0040 today and the dial has the same lemon hue but this one is much more legible at night with that dual colour lume.
Well, the lack of sync between the analog and digital sides already puts it a bit behind the Seiko Arnie for me.
Synching is easy to do and not a problem. Furthermore, once the two are in synch they stay that way (until the next battery change).
you can zero the digital seconds when the analog seconds hand hits 60 seconds. real easy. Or you can hack the seconds hand until the digital seconds hit 00. You only need to do it once.
What can I say, another great review. I do not dive any more but you still make me want to go and buy one.
Same here. Not diving anymore, but I still love my Aqualands.
Citizen is a true ledgit.
You would think in these days they could make a smaller depth sensor.
My first reaction was UGH! But then you showed the blue one and I actually really liked it. 😊😊
Too bad they don’t make a reissue with eco-drive.
Yeah they should have.
This one, with Arnie and G shock 5610u are literally a perfect 3-watch collection for someone into that 80's nostalgia.
One of my favorite Citizens for sure
Nice one! I can see myself scuba diving with this on our trip to Fethiye on Mediterranean in a few months. It's almost a dive computer replacement. I like it!
"... if the water cooler springs a leak." 😂
I'm dying.
Had one 30 yrs ago...after 2 battery changes ( 6 total), I sold it. Great watch, just used for snorkeling, boogie boarding. Timeless design....Gravitated from Battery to Solar to Auto Divers.
Holy moly! Very chunky watch. What a direct contrast to my SNK809. I’m changing the strap while watching this video.
The seconds hand not matching the digi display is really annoying, I didn't think I had OCD but that was painful to watch 🤣
But the seconds hand was perfectly hitting these markers. Pretty impressive i say.
I have an original from 1986. I used it in anger twice on dives then had a battery change many years ago. More recently I tried to get a new battery (actually two) but the electronics have given up. Sad as in perfect condition and not a monster even on my skinny wrists. Nice watch even almost 40 years on.
1 potential issue with all "lumed dial under lumed hands": hard to read at night after a few hours of no light. The lumed hands blend into the lume dial and look fuzzy. Potential fix would be to have solid black hands to contrast the lumed dial. (*Note: I wear 24/7)
Finally Jody you have reviewed this watch or its variation. I've been banging on about the Aqualand in the comments section every time you do a Citizen diver.
I have a original from 91 that is in impeccable condition and desperately needs a service, however I picked up a reissue earlier this year and noticed some subtle changes between the two. unfortunately it doesn't have an hourly chime which is odd considering it has an alarm and beep function when changing modes etc.
one other thing for anyone who is thinking on buying the black dial silver version the metal bracelet that is on the blue dial version will not fit due to the way they have made the case and lugs.
This has come straight from Citizen UK as I wanted to upgrade the rubber strap to the bracelet and tried to purchase it as a spare direct from Citizen.
Why they have made the two silver cased versions differently I'll never know oh and the spring bars are also different.
As for this LUME Beast.....its on my list
I can’t say that I have ever found an analog/digital watch that I found attractive, though maybe functional.
Bought this watch last year as soon as I saw it. It's beautiful and I'm a sucker for a full rume dial.
Theres many versions, a green dial, brown dial, and of course the original.
Great video! Detailed info needed to make an informed purchase. Thank you.
Had the original. Sold it recently. Just couldn't make friends with the dimensions. A smidge too big in all areas. It is a beast though!
Proper! I've owned several of the predecessors and it's still the image that comes into my mind when I hear "dive watch." The previous ones also had a mixed "Day + Date" mode for one of the timekeeping displays.....that appears to be gone on this one---that's a shame. Also, Citizen used to always make different metric (depth in meters) versus imperial (depth in feet) versions of Aqualands, but they only seem to do metric anymore. I suppose the market for who would buy an imperial version of one of these is too small to target these days....but there is at least one. :-)
I own these, and there’s definitely a Day Date.
i take it youve seen the seiko arnie depth meter model mate? i reckon a test between these two would be worth a watch...maybe you can do one of your outdoor vids and get someone to test it! lol
I have one LCD watch. I will never have more. I like these hybrids even less.
In Denmark, it's called "The Pingo", because the danish Crown Prince (Who is married to an aussie girl, wore it, when he was in the Danish Frogman Corp (danish seal team), and his call sign was "Pingo".
I have the full lume Promaster ny0040-50, a marvelous watch and one I'm very attached to.
I had one and sold it for quite a bit of profit when they discontinued it a few years ago. When it was re-released with the hacking 8204 I bought it again. Great watches.
@@S-Ltd1000 My favorite watch the moment! Got it at a really good price with the 8204 movement too
I love it. I think silver on the bracelet looked great and would be a fun daily.
You need to get your hands on Carbid Taifun,German diving watch which looks and feels outstanding,it really uses with quality hence the price of 1700€.
Saturday morning and watching JOMW can't beat it.
I like the gunmetal grey color but personally don't like colored dials, i would like they bring back the JP2004 or make a mixed version with the new gunmetal grey JP2007 body but with the gold JP2004 details.
Jody, are you going to make a video on the new G-Shock DW-H5600 squares anytime soon? Really interested in a square G-Shock with that MIP display!
I have an original. Still works 👍🏻
I understand it runs on batteries. But why the crooked batteries on 3, 6 and 9?
I have a very 'soft spot' for Citizen watches and their 'Divers' in particular. I have a load of Eco-Drives and several 'Duro/Marlins', they seem to be available at some really good prices?!
One function that a couple of old ones that ran through my collection many years ago was that they also watched your accent so as if you ascended too fast an alarm went off and warned you as to the danger of the Benz’s…. One of mine was old rates and the other was cunning rates…. Do these ones have such a function? From pervious tests in you pressure tester it seems they have dropped this function?
Seiko does have a new "Arnie" with depth gauge
That extension strap would work well on the Hulk's wrist!
Would You care to do a review or just post an opinion on an another beast BN2038-01L or its titanium brother? I am really curious what are Your thoughts. GREAT VID!
I guess you could say it is attractive for a depth gauge.
I bought a new Duro......😉
I just watched the series 'millennium' (of course the model was JP2000) and developed an attraction to this watch prior to that I didn't care much for it. I guess propaganda works... I have mine on a one piece rubber ZULU style strap from ‘yellowdogwatchstraps’, it's a pretty good strap and it absolutely fits the aesthetic.
This watch is a grail for me... Unfortunatelly, Citizens in general are very expensive... Ok, maybe not very, but for the same price I can get a G-Shock w a lot of more features...
I always use it for diving, new ones are less intuitive with to much hands. Bateries don t last too much if you Dive with it
Nice review Jody!
24mm lug width?
I may be wrong but I believe some smartwatches also has 24mm lug width?
Well, this one is kinda smart too, huh?
I'm surprised how much this weird watch just works, very nice!
Im very supprised its smaller than the Seiko Arnie may have to give it ago, remember as kid when i first visited Australia, being showed one
I wish Citizen would release the original black and gold color version instead.
Have wanted to buy this colour Aqualand model/style for a long while. I have had 2 of the plain all-black version of this (P2000-08E). I lost the first one when it dropped off my wrist getting back onto a dive both in Little Cayman - so some people do dive with them)!
Regarding this yellow/green dial it looks like the dial is smaller diameter or is it just an illusion?
The rubber bands that came with this were very terrible. Ive replaced them twice in a year. The dive sensor dug into my arm when I raised my hand up. Other than that it was a great watch.
I own This Watch. The lumeshot is Not representative! At Night you can not read the Time, cause you dont See the Hands as Soon as the Lume decreases. They should have made the hands Full Black.
I have quite a few 'dive style' watches but if I were an ACTUAL diver ... plus watch enthusiast ... I think that this one would be high on my list.
The. Beast. Is. Back. ! Citizen. Aqualand. Pro master. JP2000!
Looks a little like the Casio "Arnie" AMW 320D Dive watch
i wouldnt mind having one
Looks smaller than the previous edition models?
Thanks for the review. For most watches you review, I either like it or don't (neutral) but this one has to be one of the most fugly watches I have ever seen. I'm sure some folks will love it.
Jody, can you use the deepmeter as an altimeter on land?
Then this watch would have a use for me.
It’s odd looking, but cool
Man have you seen the new Pagani "Cellini" watch? It's the PD 1689. Just fantastic but a horrible strap. The watch needs a curved PIN to fit another strap (you could show that also on the Review). Thanks
Really cool but whyyyyyyy is it not solar!!!!
Love it, Stallone had Lundgren, Arnie has this muscle baddie. 👍.
