Designed to help scuba divers keep track of time underwater, dive watches are solidly built and have an undeniably stylish, understated look. Although they come with high prices, there are some standout affordable models, and Amazon is a great place to look for them. The retail giant has been offering massive discounts on Citizen's best watches, especially lately, and the price of one of the brand's popular automatic models has now dropped to half what it would normally cost.

Of the 50 customers who gave the product five stars, most agreed that it “wears and looks great.” It's available in many other models with blue, green, and red accents, but this Stainless/Yellow colorway offers the biggest discount.

It's an update on the Citizen dive watch, first released in 1989, and takes its design cues (like its serrated bezel) from “fugu,” the Japanese name for the puffer fish. It has a 44mm stainless steel case with a rotating bezel, a standard feature in dive watches, and is powered by an automatic mechanical movement that winds itself with the movement of your wrist. The black textured dial has a day/date window at 3 o'clock and is covered with extremely durable sapphire crystal glass. Turning the watch over reveals an embossed puffer fish on the case back, and a sturdy and functional polyurethane strap completes the package.
Watch collectors are impressed with Citizen's Promaster Dive Automatic. “The watch is gorgeous. One customer said the build quality was as good as it gets for this price range. They also described the sapphire crystal as “eye-catching” and added: “The size is perfect; It wears smaller than 44mm, but it has some weight.”
