As we head into the last quarter of the year, now’s a great time to pick up a new timepiece. Whether it’s a dive watch for the beach, a classy chrono to wear back to the office, or a tough field watch for your day-to-day, you can find one from an EDC-favorite brand, Citizen, today on Amazon. We’re highlighting our top 5 favorite picks from this one-day sale to narrow your search, including several watches featured in our previous watch buying guides. These deals won’t last too long, so act fast—the clock’s ticking.
Citizen Promaster Diver
The Citizen Promaster Diver earned a reputation as one of the best values in dive watches, and with today’s sale it’s an even sweeter deal. It has all the hallmark features of a dive watch worthy of a spot on your wrist: 200M water resistance, a beefy 42mm stainless steel case, a unidirectional rotating bezel, and luminescent hands and markers. And unlike regular quartz watches that rely on batteries that eventually run dry, or automatic watches that need constant wear and maintenance, the Promaster Diver boasts Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology to keep it charged with exposure to any light source. If you want a sweet deal on a robust dive watch for EDC, the Promaster Diver is an excellent option.
Citizen Brycen
Titanium is a go-to material for all kinds of EDC gear thanks to its impressive strength to weight ratio, making it durable enough for the rough and tumble of daily use but light enough to not weigh you down. It makes for an excellent watch material, but it’s one that’s usually pricier than stainless steel. That’s why the Citizen Brycen is a compelling option at over 50% off during the sale. With an IP-coated titanium build, it’s 40% lighter than stainless steel for a more comfortable wearing experience. Matching its Super Titanium case and bracelet is a premium sapphire crystal for exceptional clarity and scratch resistance. The Brycen boasts Eco-Drive technology as well, which converts natural or artificial light to power its Japanese quartz movement. 100M of water resistance rounds out this stylish and sporty titanium watch.
Citizen AT0200-05E Chronograph
This chronograph offers excellent legibility and durability thanks to its military styling, large Arabic numerals, black-and-white face with a contrasting red hand, and three sub-dials. But at 39mm, it’s a more versatile size for EDCers with smaller wrists or those looking for a rugged look that keeps a low profile. It’s powered by Eco-Drive’s solar technology and features 100M of water resistance for easy maintenance, making it an excellent daily driver.
Citizen Avion Chronograph
The Avion Chronograph pairs classic and subtle field watch styling with bold red accents and chronograph complications to bring about a classic style reminiscent of 50s transatlantic flights. The watch makes a statement in 45mm with a black ion-plated stainless steel case and rich leather strap, and gets its power from Citizen’s signature Eco-Drive technology that converts light into stored energy. In addition to the outer minute ring, the Avion comes with 1/5 second chronograph that measures up to 60 minutes, 12/24 hour time, and a date window for a complete timekeeping ensemble.
Citizen Garrison
If you prefer your gear with a tough, no-frills look that gets the job done, you can’t go wrong with the humble field watch. The military-inspired Citizen Garrison features a highly legible dial with Arabic markers, a 60-minute outer ring, and interior ring for 24-hour time. It also sports a day/date window at the 3 o’clock position to deliver all the time-telling information you’d need. It’s all housed in a sizable 43mm stainless steel case for solid wrist presence and legibility. It runs off Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology that uses light to power its quartz movement, meaning you’ll never need to replace the battery or keep it wound. It’s a solid option at just $100 for daily wear or weekend warrior duty alike.
