Citizen Promaster PMD56-2951 LAND Eco-Drive

If you’re looking for a reliable field/EDC watch, look no further than Citizen Promaster PMD56-2951. This seemingly simple timepiece packs some serious technology combined with premium materials, and exceptional build quality. Yet the watch is only 40mm in diameter w/o crown and 12mm thick, which translates into perfect wearability and comfort. This timepiece is powered by proven Citizen Eco Drive highly accurate movement; plus perpetual calendar and atomic time radio synchronization. Even though radio sync is only for Japan region, there are several apps available for Android and iOS that can synchronize this watch to your local timezone.
I want to thank Shopping In Japan for providing exceptional customer service. My watch arrived to the East Coast of the US in just 3 days.

Highly recommended both!

It cost me Euros 394 to import in to France. There is no warning about this on the site. Buyer beware!!!

SIJs service was great as usual, the watch is great, too, with some flaws.
Titanium, screw down crown, solar, nice green dial, practical clasp, this watch has many strong points.
I knew that only japanese radio signals could be received, but I did not expect the manual setting to be so tiresome. It can take forever. Taking off the bracelet takes more time than usual because not all the spring bar holes are well machined.

Still I recommend the watch because of its strong points, but I feel Citizen could have done a little better.

Watch was shipped quickly and arrived within days in the US in perfect condition.

Titanium, medium size, very readable; perpectual calendar and solar--everything I wanted. i sold my Tissot Solar to get this. The Tissot was too big for my wrist and I did miss having a second hand.
Got the best price with 7 day day delievery.

I previously wrote that the watch can unfortunately not receive the European radio signal. This can however be emulated in various manners. There's a JJY emulator app for Android that synchronises the watch perfectly (search for 'jp.tech 4u.simjjy-1.apk'). Alternatively the following website will help you do the trick as well: http://www.jrcomputing.com.au/Set_Watch/Set_Watch_Manual.html.

This is my 3rd JDM watch, why do the Japanese keep the best to themselves instead of bringing it to the rest of the world?

Really like this watch. It combines sturdiness with subtlety, has an extremely legible dial, lightweight but hard titanium, domed sapphire glass and has an adjustable bracelet (allows for one-click adjustment of 0, 2.5mm, 5mm; very practical on hot summer days). Other nice features are the perpetual calendar (the watch knows what month and year it is and sets/adjusts the date accordingly) and easy time zone adjustment (you adjust the timezone offset and the watch adjusts the time accordingly). Initial set-up can be somewhat time consuming as there is no physical connection between the crown and the hands, hands are controlled by a motor. After that initial set-up though, the perpetual calendar and timezone adjustment function make that further adjustments are hardly ever needed, or can be made very easily. In Japan this watch automatically syncs every night using radiowaves. It essentially means that you'll never ever have to adjust the watch again, as everything is done automatically. Unfortunately, this JDM version does not receive the European signal, so I'll have to sync it manually every once in a while.

Shipping took 10 days, including customs clearing. During the 10 day period I received multiple personal emails from Sara from customer service to proactively inform me of the status of the order and shipment. Thank you Sara and Shoppinginjapan for this great service!

This is a great watch, just what I was looking for! Not that big, just a good size for me, titanium duratec bracelet and just beautiful green-chameleon dial.
Also i want to admire the great service and shipping, easy to track and fast delivery.
12 days to Qazaqstan!
I highly recommend the seller, thanks a lot.

I love this watch. Light weight , adjustable bracelet, beautiful green dial, easy to read dial, Duratect titanium, can sync time using JJY simulator free app on iphone or ipad. Wonderful service.

Great features on this watch, and great sizing (more mid-size) which makes it a good all-rounder and doesn't get caught on sleeves or jackets during sports/outdoor activities. The best feature is perhaps the Duratect titanium which is proving to be very durable and just crazy light!

I was looking for a watch with the following characteristics:

- day/date (side-by-side)
- perpetual calendar
- arabic numerals
- titanium

The Duratect coating and green dial are icing on the cake for this fantastic JDM beater. Only downside is it doesn't sync outside of Japan, but I'm OK with that given there are no other watches that fit the bill.
