“The BRAC-36 stainless steel bracelet for the Citizen Promaster Diver Ecodrive watch is well made, durable and an excellent fit.
In particular, the solid end links are precisely machined and drop right in with no problem at all. They also have convienient "cutout" windows on the underside for spring bar access that makes installing or removing the bracelet pretty easy.
The "beads" the bracelet is made up of all pivot independently, making it exceptionally flexible, and the stamped clasp, with its three micro-adjust positions is minimal, but very secure.
As others have noted, this is not a broad bracelet, but tapers to just 16 mm at the clasp - not really a problem for me, even with my 7.5 inch wrist. I needed to remove two links for it to fit, so there is plenty of length provided as well.
Two new, very "beefy" spring bars are provided to attach the bracelet to the watch, and they fit perfectly. A small scredriver is also provided to help add/remove links via the easy to use screw-in link pins.
The two down sides to the bracelent design and finishing are: 1. It fits a dive watch but there is no divers extension + only a 3 position microadjust, and 2. The bottom edges of the bracelet links are sharp edged rather than slightly beveled. This causes some minor irritation in daily wear and I'm considering smoothing the edges down very slightly with a Dremel too. (I have hairy forearms). These are the primary reasons I rated the bracelet as a "4" rather than "5".
Overall, the BRAC-36 is far, far better than the very stiff urethane strap the Promaster is provided with.”
“Love the look of this bracelet. Excellent fit, great quality, the really did a good job with the fitting of the end links to the watch. Only reason I knock off a star is it’s not the easiest to get the end links seated correctly even with the correct tools. I’d hoped to be able to switch between this and a rubber strap I have for it with quick release end bars but thinking I’ll be leaving this bracelet on, who knows maybe with practice I can become a pro at removing and installing.
I’m also have to give a shout out to their customer service. I ordered this with the watch and I received the watch but not the bracelet even though packing list said they were together. They had the bracelet shipped within about an hour after I contacted them. I even bought this watch elsewhere and returned it after seeing all the YouTube videos from Marc, it was a few dollars more but the other vendor didn’t include manufacturers warranty since it’s grey market. I’d rather give my money to a small business that’s doing a lot on social media to educate people on watches.
Overall I’m thrilled with this purchase, highly recommend this bracelet if you have a ProMaster quartz”
