| | Description | The Citizen Watch Brand
The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company's formal name, Citizen Watch Company. During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company's dramatic rise to its current position as the world's largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.
Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world's slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world's first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen's record of "world's firsts" is unmatched.
More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery. | |

Citizen JW0090-53E "Promaster SST" Apr 14, 2011
By edelweiss
Since an Omega X-33 would end my marriage, I'm always looking for a good ana-digi under five hundred dollars. The redesigned Promaster SST immediately caught my attention as it was a sturdy, attractive, analog-digital with usable features. No watch is perfect though, and the SST has its share of silly design choices and limitations, which I will detail below.
First, things I like:
- No tiny negative displays. It has a single large LCD that is high contrast, positive, and recessed significantly so even when the hands are directly above it you can read it fine just by tipping the watch slightly. It's an improvement over what Casio does, and even Citizen's Skyhawk models.
- Red backlight! Unusual and very cool.
- 200m water resistance.
- Case, buttons, and bracelet. Yes, the SST is physically large, but it's actually not overly heavy (or at least it's lighter than my Seiko Monster), and it's super comfortable on the wrist. Beautiful bracelet. Smooth, very well done button clasp with safety latch. The three function buttons blend into the case perfectly, yet are quickly accessed, and provide a nice positive feedback when pressed. Overall amazing build quality I have come to expect from Citizen. Note the improvement of going to a standard 22mm bracelet rather than the integrated type on the old SST model. I might try a nato on it someday. I have a 6.75" wrist.
- Automatic analog hands. The crown is only used for digital functions, so you set the current time in the digital section, and then the hands fly around to the correct position. Also after being in sleep mode, like when you get it out of the shipping box, they spin around to the correct current time. Great feature, and all the hands line up perfectly with the markers.
- Blue chrono dial hands; love the spot of color. Also, the center chrono dial has two hands, 1/10 sec and 1/100 sec. They whirl around really fast, and it's mesmerizing. However see first complaint below.
Things I don't like:
- The tiny chrono dials and the 24-hour dial (at the 2 o'clock position) are worthless. It takes a minute to figure out what they're showing.
- The digital chronograph only goes up to 24 hours. 99 would have been nice, to use as a "mission timer".
- The tachymeter scale is for aesthetics only: the seconds hand cannot be zeroed to use this scale correctly. Fortunately, the tach function in the digital section is superior, although much more fiddly than an analog tach.
- There is no way to see the current digital time in the inaptly named Time & Calendar mode. Do I really need the year displayed continuously? A workaround is to keep the watch in World Time mode, and select your home city code. You lose the day-date display then though.
- The hour markers and hands are bordered with polished metal, and the seconds hand has no lume. I would prefer the markers and hands to be covered completely in white lume paint.
- "SMT" instead of "DST". From what I gather googling, no one in the world uses this code other than Citizen.
So it's not a very long list of dislikes, but they do touch on the core functions and appearance of the watch enough to take off one star. Though once I got over the fact that some of the features are just there for looks, I think the new SST is one of the most attractive, functional, yet affordable analog-digital watches out there currently.
