Just get it! I collect well know Swiss brands with the crown, and expensive Italian divers but this one is really fun! And so light! Wears more like a 40mm!
The lume on this watch is awesome, but only if the lume is fully charged. Then it will glow like a full moon. Curiously, if the lume is not fully charged, the lume of the hands blend in too much with the background lume of the dial, making legibility quite difficult to see.
I love the dial of this watch, how it wears. I had bought the BN0228, dark green camo dial version, but this is way more legible. Beautiful orange minute hand. Why only 3 stars? The timing bezel turns extremely loosely. It moves accidentally just by putting a jacket on, or by sleeping with the watch on the wrist. This makes the bezel unreliable for timing events and activities. The BN0228 has a more secure and tight bezel. It does not require much effort, but it does not turn accidentally. This BN0227 has a much looser bezel than the 5 Promaster watches I own. I sent it to the official Citizen Service Center. They sent it back, telling me it was within the norm. I was very surprised. I may return it or send it back to Citizen at my expense. The full lume dial is very nicely implemented, but the looseness of the bezel practically removes the functionality. The BN0228 has the same case and bezel, just different colorways. I checked another BN0227-25x at a department store and its bezel felt a little light and loose as well. The BN0228 camo green seems to have the bezel closer to the case. It makes less of a clicky sound when turned, but it will not accidentally turn on its own. I am wondering if Citizen uses a different bezel spring for this full lume version than the other BN022x-xx series watches. I wish Citizen could tighten the bezel and cover the shipping costs as I had this watch for a little more than a month.
Nice
Beautiful classic and special... Will enjoy...

The Style And Elegant
the dial colour is the best , remember the retro era, the style is slim and elegant
The best dial/case combo of this series. LOVE it!
This is an update from the 3 star review. Citizen fixed the loose bezel the second time I sent in. Now it operates correctly and does not turn accidentally. SO I am satisfied. It is slightly misaligned, but that is OK with me, as the bezel is now functional to time activities. I got the original BN0220, the black/gilt dial and the grey case, I also got the dark camo green dial. This is by far the best looking and most legible. I love the orange minute hand, the dark case. It is very comfortable and unique. Of the BN0220 I am not keen on the grey case. The light grey coating looks like some polymer. I would have liked it better if it was uncoated titanium. But the BN0227 dark case, almost black looks very nice. The green BN0228 has a darker dial in pictures. Almost black. The hands have a dark outline that blends in with the dial, thus making the hands look smaller than they actually are. I put it on a black silicone strap which I like better than the stock green accordion style strap. This full lume is amazing, I wear it with a paratrooper anthracite strap, it is very legible underwater. Definitely one of my favorite watches. The full price is a bit high, but there are promotions and fluctuations. I am curious about the European market version, which supposedly has a slightly lighter case. I like this dial so much that I would consider the EU version as a spare. I wish the BN0228 had an orange or other color outlined minute hand like many Citizen divers. Anyway, it took a while to get the bezel issue sorted out, but now all is great.
