 Promate Scuba Mask with Rx readers

I’ve used the Genesis Panview clear mask for 14 years with gauge readers. Last year my Melbourne shop located the identical mask for me. For some reason, this mask is ideal for my face. Of course, now I need readers. There was some shop in CA that pute the gauge readers in for me, and I’ve lost track of them. I’m considering the Promate mask in the above links - does anyone have any experience with them? Information on them is sketchy, other than it looks like the mask may only be slightly more than readers.

I have never heard of Promate until I saw it here. One of their masks did make the top 12 best wide view masks by ScubaDiving.com:

I have a Promate with the readers. Fairly decent mask. I got the one for a wide face, and although I have used it a few times, I actually didn’t need one that wide. The only negative I can say about it is that the strap is not as substantial as other masks but so far, it’s been fine.
