Citizen Dive Watch?
As weird as it sounds, I have the opportunity to buy a Citizen Diver's Promaster MA9004-21E here in the desert. Does anyone have any comments or experience with it? It costs 265 Euro's, I still have to convert it to Canadian.

Here is the link...

Even weirder, I'm buying a boat while I'm here as well...

Looks like the HyperAqualand that we have here in the states. I love mine.

I have the Hyper-Aqualand and I get a lot of Ascent alarms when ever I move my arm up. It seems like the alarm is constantly going even though I am sitting at a constant Depth. Other than that it is great!! I leave it on the boat a lot because I want to get away from the noise.

I paid $299 US for mine, with the interface. It is a fine bottom timer, and alot more info is availible for the log book after downloading to your PC. ScubaSky is right, it is real sensitive to ascent rate, a quick movement of an arm to avoid a reef and beep beep beep beep.

Uhhh...I think you're paying too much. I have an ECO drive that has a depth gauge and I love it. Never needs batteries replaced. I thought about having one as a dive computer, but already have a computer so I went with the ECO drive...no complaints.

Check this out...very similar model (I believe, could be wrong...)

Hope this helps...they make great watches IMO.

I would do a search on the web by P/N I think you could save a couple hunded dollars.

I have that same exact watch.....know as the Citizen Promaster Hyper Aqualand.....good little toy, pretty accurate as well as very informative at depth. I use it together with my dive computer as a back-up and also for my dive profiles. Since this watch has the synch module I use it for that, the computer has one as well but at $300 it's not worth the coin.

As already mentioned, it is very sensitive to movement, but over time you get used to the little beeps LOL!

I bought at a jeweller that had no idea what he was selling for $350CAN with the cradle - good deal for a good watch and back-up device.

Ive got a basic solar powered Ecodrive watch. No o-ring seal to break to change battery and its a simple watch. No extras - It just tells me the time and has a moving bezel for dive time. In short - it works....Usually (i had one flood!)
