I am an avid citizen watch supporter (and purchaser). To date, this is my most favorite watch ever purchased. It looks amazing on your wrist or even just sitting there. It is big, but not too big. The carbon fiber bezel adds a great touch. Both a polished and rugged look. I would recommend adding this to any collection.

This watch is just downright manly. It looks very professional and is built the same. Love the features and the looks.

My Promaster Carbon showed up a few days ago. I've been using a Citizen Skyhawk for about 8 or 9 years. The two greatest features of that watch are the Eco-Drive solar power and the really slick way you can change timezones. The Promaster takes all the best features of the Skyhawk, adds the radio controlled accuracy, and improves on some things.
It is a bigger watch, but the dial is easier to read. It has luminous marks for all the hours, plus a luminous reference spot on the rotating bezel. The hands are nice and big and have good luminous characteristics.
The Promaster has a feature on the bracelet that allows you to expand the size from you normal adjustment in case you need to wear it over one layer of clothing. This watch has the Citizen fold-over latch which helps prevent accidental openings of the bracelet.
One thing I never needed/used on the Skymaster was the rotating calculator thingy -- which just cluttered things up and didn't rotate all that well anyway. I'll let the pilots up front figure out the time:distance stuff -- hopefully they won't be squinting at teeny-tiny numbers on a watch bezel.
To change modes on the Promaster you to pop the crown out one click, which solves the problem that the Skyhawk has -- self mode-changing through normal wearing (modes change with the crown in the home position).
Since buying the Sykhawk I've been a fan of Citizen watches. The Skyhawk lost maybe 15 seconds a year the first 5 years of use (checked with a GPS). Eco-Drive just makes sense. I've had Seikos which had some of the most bizarre controls, and Casio seems to overreach with features that are flashy, but which don't work all that well -- and that you probably don't need anyway.
The Promaster is one of those watches you look forward to using for many years to come.

I wanted a classy watch that was highly functional. I travel a great deal across several time zones and needed something that would work for me. I also have a fetish about accuracy. Easy to change and swap home time zones and the atomic time signal keeps my watch accurate. The solar power thing is awesome and keeps a good reserve. It is complicated to a degree, but a bit more intuitive than my other Citizen. This U600 movement is really tops. The watch itself is, well, massive. Extremely masculine and certainly makes a statement. My wrist is relatively small, but it was no trouble with a watch pin pusher to remove a couple of links. The clasp allows minor adjustment so you can get it to the perfect fit with no trouble at all. Some have complained the LEDs don't light up the entire dial, but don't believe it was intended to. Still gives enough light to see the hands in the dark in case the luminescence has gone down.

Citizen's Eco-drive Promaster Carbon Chronograph is by far one of the best watches I've ever owned. Citizen has imbued it with both easy functionality and rugged style. The pictures online are great but really don't do it justice. Upon receiving my Promaster Carbon Chronograph, I immediately went online and utilized Citizen's interactive instructions to set the watch. While this is not entirely necessary, Citizen does provide a booklet and mini-disc with the instructions in the box, it is a lot more entertaining to follow along as your watch does exactly what the one pictured on the screen does. It only took a few minutes to check the Promaster Carbon Chronograph's dial alignment, use the radio signal to automatically set the watch, and then set up the remaining options to my liking.
Again, the the Promaster Carbon Chronograph's style is amazing. The carbon fiber detail provides pleasing aspect to the bezel. In addition, the hands and markers on the dial are extremely luminescent and show up nicely in the dark while bright orange LEDs provide light for the two LCD screens.
Now all I have to do is keep myself from buying the Promaster SST Titanium as well!
