Citizen’s Promaster line has long been the part of the brand aimed at people who want a functional tool watch without moving into premium Swiss pricing. The WaveTracker models follow that idea, with a sailing-focused feature set, solar charging and UK prices listed below £650 for the three references highlighted here.
That pricing is the main hook. These are not dress watches with nautical styling; they are purpose-built Promaster models with tide, moon phase and race-timer functions that make more sense for sailors, coastal users and buyers who like technical ana-digi watches.
What The WaveTracker Models Include
The three models covered are the JV3000-13E, JV3002-51E and JV3006-50L. They differ mainly by color and strap or bracelet choice, while the core movement and feature set are shared.
| Model | Look | Listed UK price |
|---|---|---|
| JV3000-13E | Black and orange with BENEBiOL PU strap | £579 |
| JV3006-50L | Black and silver with stainless steel bracelet | £599 |
| JV3002-51E | Black, green and gold with stainless steel bracelet | £649 |
Citizen Promaster WaveTracker JV3000-13E
The JV3000-13E is the strap-equipped Promaster WaveTracker model, pairing the shared Eco-Drive U812 sailing functions with a black and orange BENEBiOL PU strap. It is the lowest-listed reference in the article’s three-model price comparison.

Each version is built around Citizen’s Eco-Drive Calibre U812, so the watch is designed to charge from light rather than relying on routine battery changes. The watches also combine three analogue hands with a mode indicator and a MIP LCD display in the upper part of the dial. That type of low-power display is commonly used where legibility matters, including outdoor and sports watches.
Who They Make Sense For
The feature list is more specific than a typical everyday sports watch. Alongside the analogue display, the WaveTracker models include functions aimed at timing and planning around the water.
- Yacht racing timer
- Tide graph display
- Moon phase display
- Alarm
- Impact detection function
- 42mm stainless steel case
That makes the range most relevant for buyers who actually want the sailing functions, or who prefer a technical Promaster over a simpler diver-style watch. If you only need time, date and water resistance, the extra digital functions may be more than you need.
Buying Notes
The three prices listed above keep the models under the £650 mark, with the strap-equipped JV3000-13E coming in lowest and the gold-tone bracelet JV3002-51E at the top of the group. Availability and pricing should still be checked at the retailer level before buying, especially if shopping outside the UK.
The appeal here is straightforward: a solar-powered Citizen Promaster with sailing-specific tools, a hybrid analogue-digital layout and a price that stays well below many specialist tool watches.
