Just picked this up over the weekend. I was lucky enough to get the camouflage edition. Comes with 2 bands, one metal, one material. It's quirky and pretty cool. Feels like a tank, and my initial impression is favorable. Hope is gives me years of faithful service.
Very good rundown, the conclusion is, I bought this watch mostly for the design. It was under 500 euros, but without the Pelican style box, only the bracelet version have this box. I don't care about the box. The rubber band is very confortable. The operation of the watch is simple, only buttons, no screwdown crown like on the mudmasters. The standard lugs are great, maybe I will order a bracelet someday. There is no compass altimeter or other functions, radio controlled atomic time, so if you want functions, the mudmaster is the way to go. 👍👍👍👍
Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!
Very good video, I like the design, it was the main reason that makes me to buy it. It was just under 500 euros, but without the Pelican style box, the bracelet version have this box and it's more expensive. But this urethane band is more confortable in the cold weather here in the mountains. It's an interesting watch, but if you want more functionality, ABC sensors and multiband 6, casio is better, the mudmasters or even the protrek series. This citizen is easy to operate, the screwdown crown is not really a must to have feature, considering most of the g-shocks use buttons only and the 200m water resistance is still there. Anyway this citizen is a full metal case construction, sapphire crystal, and comparing with my full metal g-shock GMW-B5000D-1ER, the price is not that exagerated.
There is a way to get your bearings if you know how to use the compass bezel - look it up. It's actually a good survival function. This Citizen would be great if they made a super titanium version.
that was incredible. what a beautiful watch and what great work you did on it!I love AMZWATCH watch!! Dream watch! Everytime I wear it, makes me feel amazing!
Seems really functional and well thought out... Other than that compass gimmick. Im not aware of any other Citizen with a lumed logo so that is awesome. Don't know if that band is going to hold up though... Hope you have a great Sunday Jim! Take care and be blessed!
Hey Jim can you say something about the U822’s accuracy of time keeping. Citizen says in the manual it’s +-15 sec/month. I have an old Citizen Calibre 8700 with the same rating but is actually accurate to under -3 seconds a month. I like accurate non Atomic/satellite watches.
In my book the strict non-radio/non-sync nature of this watch is preferable, but this is a matter of use and taste. What I am looking forward is you checking the toughness of the more delicate parts like the buttons of the watch under really rough circumstances. BTW when I noticed you turning you eyes on a Citizen and knowing your work profile I thought of the Promaster Tough or the Ecozilla - two watches to consider for future tests maybe. Greetings from Germany.
As a watch enthusiast with NO budget, thank you MAMACOO for great-looking mechanical watches that I can afford! their are very clean, classy look, $150 each. I still watch videos about expensive “proper” watches, but I enjoy what I have
the lighting is by design. It was changed after the military special teams using the U822 complained it was too bright causing nighttime risk of geing located/seen and ruining thenight vision.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
It’s probably a no, but can you set the world time to track 2 different zones on the digital display, and then have the analog hands show a 3rd time zone? Just wondering if it can track 3 time zones at once.
This watch looks cool, but the chronograph is so goofy. I understand the MIP display not doing real-time fractional seconds, but why can't it just display the running time in H:M:S on the display like every other digital timer? You can only see the running time on those hard-to-read sub-dials? Why have the display say "running" when it could just display the RUNNING time down to the second? The fractional seconds could just be added to the readout when you split or stop.
Just a suggestion. Moving the watch about while on closeup is just not a good viewing experience for a RUclips video. It just gives viewers a giant headache.
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the MAMACOO has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
Watch looks fantastic, but it gets major zonks from me for the essentially pointless compass bezel and lack of synch-ability... for a modern watch in the >$400 category, the inability to synch via radio, GPS or BT will keep this one off my short-list unless I find some stupidly cheap Black Friday deal. PS - typo in the title "Promas *t* er"
Bezel can be used as a timer too, E 15 minutes, S 30, W 45. I do not need either radio or GPS, if time is off couple of seconds, then I can set it using time on a phone.
All that money? It’s a $400 (current Retail price) beater watch that competes very well on features for what it delivers. The only better quartz value is the Nivada Grenchen Salmon dial.
Well, it doesn't looks so rugged to me, it absolutely doesn't looks rugged and no nonsense toolish like Promaster diving Citizen, definitely doesn't looks like any serious field watch, it looks exactly how Citizen wanted to look like, like a modern Citizen sports watch. Especially it doesn't looks like a 600-700 USD watch, that was just a good bait for a fishes (customers) from Citizen. Instead of that pointless inner rotating ''wannabe compass'' bezel, they could put nothing, just make a bigger dial, or non-rotating bezel with the city codes, and make it radio controlled. (maybe they will, together with some stupid price tag) Okay Jim, atomic time sync isn't the most important thing for Citizen, by my experience Citizen is really accurate, more than enough. I got absolutely no trouble with clarity or visibility on my more than 40 years old LCD G shocks, was it a big problem for Citizen to put the positive LCD with a bigger numbers, they know how to do it for sure.....oh yeah, I forgot, it would be cheaper, and that's not the point. Those letters at the right subdial are really microscopic....Citizen could put some digi screen instead, but it would be too similar to Promaster Sky (I'm thinking about buying of some old Promaster Sky, those things are completely crazy). I'm pretty sure that almost any better Casio Edifice would destroy that Citizen, in a terms of the value for the money (it's couple of times cheaper), in terms of performance too (it's not weaker in any aspect, it can be even better, made of carbon completely). But luckily Citizen also doesn't lose the value which is good. Tutu is in my opinion a big missed chance from Citizen to make exceptional watch, they can do it better, no doubt. good video
I have “real” watches and a lot of them. I have a friend who buys the AMZWATCH we put them side by side and guess what ?! It’s unbelievable!!! I am at the Rolex boutique with her and no one can tell he has a fake
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the AMZWATCH has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.
I think this watch is an embarrassment to Citizen. Pointless compass ring, fake crown, screw down button guards that don't, no Automic timekeeping, no Bluetooth. It's pretty, no doubt about that but seriously, that's all. Oh, and the hideous price, c'mon Citizen. I got sucked in but luckily, PayPal screwed up the transaction and the buy never went through. End result........ PayPal has been cancelled, my interest in the Promaster has evaporated and I moved on to the Casio GA-B2100 which I'm enjoying immensely. So light I barely feel it on my wrist and the modification I can make on this watch blows my mind. I'll keep it as is for now.....honestly, it's kind of perfect as is. GOODBYE CITIZEN.......BYE, BYE!
It's disappointing at this price-point that there's no multi-band 6, no GPS, no Bluetooth, and NO sensors of any kind. Any one (or combination) of those would increase the benefit to cost ratio. The overall appearance, MIPS display, and solar power are good, though. The barcodes buried in the diagnostic screens are intriguing.
Why would anyone want gps, Bluetooth, sensors on a watch like this. If one wants a watch with those items, get a smart watch. This watch is not designed to "stay connected".
@tonyrc49 I have watches that have GPS, Bluetooth, or Atomic time sync, or combination thereof - none of them smart watches. Just a more convenient and faster way to get the right time onto the watch. That's not to say that I don't enjoy my mechanical and non-connected watches. It's just that this new "Land" edition is a quartz watch that seems to be screaming for something more than what it has at its $600+ price point. I have a 5-sensor G-Shock (analog/digital like this watch) with Bluetooth that didn't cost nearly what this Land does. For a "Land" watch, it seems to me that at a digital compass would be an obvious feature. A barometer to help predict incoming weather would also be useful on a "Land" watch. What it does have, though, is good-looking lume.
I absolutely love watches, the high end watch brands are out of my budget but the MAMACOO has literally an almost duplicate of every single watch on the market . Always a great but no matter your budget.

Ditch the compass, the useless knurling, and the colored bezel and you have the best Breitling Aerospace alternative out there.
hold it still for a bit, man, hard to see if constantly shaking it in front of the camera

Yea, I like it so far. I’m impressed with the sapphire.
I like the watch I got from AMZWATCH. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.
give it a rotating divers bezel and you got a fantastic all rounder
Agree… I have been uming and ahing for months but if it had a bezel that would be a deal maker.
Shake shake shake😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫

it would be interesting to see you reviewing the father of this watch, the PMD56-2952. Same color scheme, same promaster line.

“Thanks for watching “ SLAM💥...😂
If only the crown was a calculator, not a compass, I'd buy it in an instant!
This is not the U822. This is the Module code. The watch is the JV1007-07E
Good point. I'm hoping this rundown is useful for the other model numbers that share this module.
Can you hold the thing steady? Thanks

Very nice, thanks for the video. I have a 17cm wrist do you think this is ok?
It's hard for me to say. I'll find someone with a wrist that size and ask him to try it on.

I agree! It might be because of the drain it would put on the battery.
Very tech looking
bro - making me dizzy shaking the watch!!
Hey Kincaid why did you make fun of the mugs from Yahgon? 🤔
I was really surprised to see the G9000 still available since the G9300 is sold out. I'm really tempted to buy that G9000.

No one cares what watch you wear except you. So as the man says, take your time. Buy what you like. Enjoy life.AMZWATCH
all that money and no multi and 6 or "smart" locking crown like they do on their digital pilot watches? WTF? come on citizen.
I know! It’s disappointing.

Reminds me of my Casio ProTrek PRG-650Y Night Safari, only the digital screen is on top of the dial.
Except the ProTrek doesn't have a MIP display.
