But what was it like spending a whole seven days with it on my wrist? Let me tell you, it went by in a flash! As you’ve heard so much about it already, I’ll do my best to keep this brief. As I said, the formula was a pretty flawless one - an old-school design with modern convenience and lightweight appeal. In essence, it’s a watch that couldn’t fail. Clearly, the Citizen Promaster Mechanical Diver 200M has struck a chord. It was also included in Jorg’s list of the top 10 sub-€1000 watches of 2022. You may have also seen it pop up in a Sunday Morning Showdown where it almost de-throned the crowd-favorite Seiko SPB143. You likely already read Mike’s first impression of the watch when it was announced. Sure, titanium isn’t for everyone, but if you love a lightweight sports watch as much as I do, this is one you won’t want to pass up. All things considered, this watch is damn near the best thing you can get at its price point.

I had a chance to spend some quality time with the watch, and today I’ll tell you all about how it fares on the wrist. Sound too good to be true? Well, it isn’t - the Citizen Promaster Mechanical Diver 200M (also known as the NB6021-17E) ticks all of those boxes. Now, make the case titanium, and keep the price well under €1,000. Combine it with a modern movement and all the specs you might come to expect from a contemporary diver.
