Which is better for swimming?

The Promaster Dive. Its 200 m rating, screw-down crown and screw-down case back are built for water. The Brycen is rated 100 m and has a push/pull crown, so it suits pools and light swimming only.

Is the Promaster worth the extra money?

If you need sapphire crystal, 200 m water resistance and a steel bracelet, yes. At $344.00 versus $248.00 as of November 6, 2026, you pay about $96 more for those upgrades.

Which one lasts longer?

Both run on Eco-Drive solar and never need a battery. The Promaster's sapphire crystal and steel bracelet hold up better over years of hard use. The Brycen's leather band and mineral crystal wear faster.

Which is better for a small wrist?

The Promaster. Its 41 mm case fits smaller wrists better than the Brycen's 44 mm case, though the Promaster is heavier at 146 g.

Do either need a battery change?

No. Both are Citizen Eco-Drive solar watches that recharge from light and never need a battery replacement.
