Before I discovered this clock, I had worn no more clock for around 10 years. With the present Promaster Sea of Citizen, which I'm wearing now for half a year, I have found for me the ideal clock.
Why: the high quality appearance (the noble material quality and the very good quality), the automatic movement (no battery replacement), the rubber strap (athletic), the design and size, thickness and weight - as a whole, I think, a perfect blend. A nice detail is the elaborate dial in conjunction with the polished and partly brushed (matt) stainless steel body makes it a very valued, massive and solid impression. The surface treatment is at no point a cause for criticism.
In addition, a few technical details:
- Mechanical movement Cal.8203 of Miyota, Selbstaufzug by arm movement, 21 jewels
- Date and weekday display with rapid correction
- Rotating bezel side and Snap
- Stainless steel case, crown and caseback, 200m water resistant, equivalent to ISO standards for divers watches
- Stable rubber band (extra long) printed with reinforced spring bars and nylon fabric lining, buckle made of stainless steel, with decompression table
- Hardened mineral glass
- Position the crown at "8 o'clock", advantage: no bumping and snagging, no pressing back of the hand when bending the wrist
- Dimensions: Swivel diameter = 41mm, height = 12.5mm housing, Weight = 94 grams, lug width = 20mm
- Approximately 30 to 40 hours power reserve
Criticisms:
- Determine the crown
The crown is when tightened after setting the clock and date to adjust a little stiff or you have to properly apply force. Here it must be ensured that the crown is always tightened until it stops (ensuring water tightness).
- Accuracy
Measured over the program "Watch Check" (Android app), the clock goes with me currently for about 12 sec / d before. For me, just still acceptable, because automatic watches with mechanical movements to go with the years usually for more, so that the deviation would then be matched.
Supplement 12.08.2014:
In the course (from now now about 2.5 years) goes the clock, as expected, each slightly less before, ie from an initial 12 sec / d currently therefore only an average 0.5 sec / d:
06.03.2012: 12.0 sec / d
05.08.2013: 9.0 sec / d
02.03.2014: 2.0 sec / d
12.08.2014: 0.5 sec / d
(Note: measured with og Android App "Watch Check".)

Recommendation
> Put to test the size and weight of any in the shop or in a department store once a trial basis to the wrist. After all, it is also women very well.
-----------------------------
Conclusion:
- For relatively little money you get here a very well-made, timeless and elegant clock with many thoughtful details and a real mechanical manufacture movement.
- The value for money is top - I see no other comparable clock with mechanical movement (ie no quartz movement) in the processing quality and price!
- Minor niggles not tarnish the otherwise positive impression.
I would like the clock to others.
