“The underpants at 12 always put me off this one.”— @mrkitewine7700 on YouTube

“That has put me off from the start.”— @timlodge8267 on YouTube

“Citizen's QC was truly bad!!”— @tom1399 on YouTube
“Shame about the stubby hands on it.”— @tispete924 on YouTube
“the BN0150 swamps my wrist. It’s 44mm btw, & is massive on me regardless of what anyone says about it wearing like a 42mm watch.”— lazy-me-always on Reddit
“Doesn't light well at all”— @antekknoll6568 on YouTube
“Stank ass watch”— @MaxPleaseBeAGoodBoi on YouTube
“no sapphire glass and prone to scratch black aluminium bezel... no way for me.”— @Madprax on YouTube
“I sold mine because the bezel was a little loose and the short, almost square hour hand made it difficult to read the precise time at a glance.”— @gustavjanson9682 on YouTube
“the bezel action and the second-hand is perfect. There is a teeny tiny bit of up and down bezel play but nothing annoying. However the bottom watch strap kind of looks dirty”— cirian75 on WatchUSeek
Not complaints — practical notes from owners that didn't affect the score.
“i am finding that the supplied rubber/silicone strap is rather long and sticks out as it can not be put under the keepers as they wont go up as far as most other straps i own.”— ken1967 on WatchUSeek
“the Promaster is a 44mm watch, but it actually wears more like an 42mm in my experience”— wilfreb on WatchUSeek
