Here's a video of my Promaster SST (calibre number U700) waking up in my back yard after entering power mode (7 days without exposure to light).

The caliber U700 used in the Promaster SST has a whooping 7 year power reserve (In pwr reserve mode) or 270 days (About 9 months) power reserve in continued use. Its got the best pwr reserve mode of any Citizen Eco-Drive watch in production today.


While I appreciate the Promaster SST for what it is, two aspects of this watch held me back from ever getting it:


1) Sheer size
2) Lack of radio controlled sync capability.


Until then, Citizen Eco-Drive watches with R/C capability (Calibers H610, U600 & U680) will do for me.

I agree about the size. The SST is one of citizen more handsome design. It is distinctive and unique. I would love to have one, but it's size is just too much for me and my "puny" 7.5" wrists. This thing is so massive I find it unwearable. Too bad as it is a strikingly handsome watch.

Even with 8.25" inch wrists I think the SST is sort of on the big side, so it doesn't get nearly as much wrist time as my Tuna and Sumo. And I also wish it had radio sync. Thankfully I didn't pay too much for it last year when Macy's was having a huge Seiko & Citizen clearance.
