Opinion On Citizen NY0040 Diver

[sys12345]

Anyone owns a watch like this one?




I believe they have a full lumed dial version as well. Whats your opinion of the watch? Hows the quality of the lume?

[sys12345]

Thanks! Any idea if this model (& its variants) can be found at a local retailer?

Not a bad citizen diver.... the blue dial is real striking swee.... lighter than a seiko diver and dun wear big.... but the lume is not in seiko level!

used to have this variant & Triodeman has the full lume variant.



Had it for a few months but not much wrist time for it,nice design with decent lume but the size can't grow on me, if you're used to a SKX diver's size, this will wear smaller than a SKX. only advantage over the SKXs is only the handwind part

[sys12345]

The case size is supposed to be 42mm, i'm surprised to hear that its a little small. Think i'll have to see one in the flesh first as i'm not so fond of under sized divers.

somehow it doesn't wears like a 42mm

yeah, best to try it on 1st, maybe this case is not as chunky as a SKX case hence the overall 'feel' is different

I seen it a few times in some shops, it does look a little small to me..

[sys12345]

I'm still veering towards this one despite looking at so many divers ...

Wow! thats nice.

if u dont mind quartz, this new eco-drive GMT also quite big

[sys12345]

Oh No... not an Eco-Drive !!!

I like the implementation of the GMT function for this one but Its once bitten twice shy for me... thanks for the suggestion but i'll pass on this one.

I got both the black and the fully lumed and frankly prefer these over the SKX series (i got a few). These citizen diver is seriously underrated, considering the price they r selling.

[sys12345]

Whats the typical performance of this movement? Something like +/- 20 secs/day ?

Both mine run ard +5 to +10sec.. Generally, i got a better opinion for the miyota 8k series vs Seiko 7s series.. So far all my miyota watches ( i got 7) run quite well and i like that they can be hand winded, unlike the 7s or even the new 4r15.. I just hope citizen come out new divers with their new 9015 movement since the others boutique divers r already using them.

[sys12345]

Sounds pretty decent for a basic movement. I've had worse experience with the Seiko 7SX6 movements.... -20 secs/day is pretty normal.

While the new 9015 movement should bring about better performance, i suppose we'll probably have to pay a much higher price for a diver installed with this movement.
