Beautiful Watch

I received my watch last week. Despite being a radio controlled watch, I did learn I had to set the second-hand correctly to be exactly in-sync with the atomic clock. Not a big deal once I realized that. Otherwise, the settings were easy to customize with the instruction manual. I own another Citizen that is 16 years old. It too is an Eco-Drive and keeps time precisely to the second even though it is not a radio controlled watch. I will never own another watch that is not Eco-Drive. One feature I really like is the fact the watch keeps track of the month and leap year so you'll never have to adjust the day of the month for months that have less than 31 days. I'm an astrophotograher so the moonphase dial is helpful knowing when a new moon is approaching without having to look it up.

Beautiful and comfortable

I bought this watch for my husband for our 20th anniversary. He absolutely loves it. It’s comfortable for everyday wear and has really cool features such as solar battery charging, glow in the dark face and the lunar phase tracking. It’s a great looking watch and we are very happy with our purchase.

Great service

Jut three days after I placed my order it was delivered. The photos don’t do it justice on its looks and how elegant it is. For a titanium watch it is much lighter than my previous watches and feels really good on my wrist. Thank you for sizing it for me. Glenn

Just amazing

Literally a beautifully crafted piece of art. Just looking at it everyday is something special. It has leveled up my watch collection by a thousand percent. Nothing can compare to it. Especially since it was a gift from my lovely wife.

Really light!!!

It’s freaking light…I love it! The time is really accurate!!!

Good Watch

I was disappointed in the box and the fact that there was no manual. I would have been happier if I could print the online version but that’s just personal preference. It took me a good while to get the watch find the radio signal but since then have been very satisfied with the performance of the watch. The moonin the background is a little understated and the lume could be brighter. I own a Satellite Wave and am more satisfied with this than that one.

Beautiful watch to start

I’m very happy with the purchase. But… no atomic clock signal reaches the Caribbean. So, I can’t use the automatic time setting.

First Citizen Watch

The Good: The watch arrived in 2 days, as promised. I followed the pdf directions and configured the watch quite easily. I live in the CST which means I moved the second hand to -6. The resulting time was off by an hour, so I turned daylight saving time ON. That fixed the time. The day of the week and date were both correct. I checked the power reserve and found the watch was fully charged. I placed the watch in a window oriented towards Denver and started the Manual time signal reception. I checked the watch after several minutes and found the reception was successful. I left the watch on my dresser that night, oriented correctly, and the next morning I found that the reception was successful. I took the watch to my authorized Citizen reseller and had them resize the band for me. So, less than 24 hours after receiving the watch, everything is set up correctly. What's not to like? The Reality: First, I was shocked when I opened the box and saw the watch face. I thought Citizen had sent the wrong model. The face looked grey, not green! I checked part numbers on the box and on the website and saw they sent the correct watch. In indoor light the face looks nothing like it does on Citizen's website. Outdoors, the green is quite subtle. Second, the writing on the back (serial #, and city/time zone adjustment #s) are faint. I have to put the watch in bright sunlight in order to read them. The Verdict: I really like the watch: its light weight, its ease in changing time zones, its display of day and date, and its radio reception ability. Also, even though its Crystal is not anti-reflective, I find that I can read it in bright sunshine without any problems. I decided not to deduct a star for the above two realities. But if you order this watch, you should be prepared for them.

Wonderful

Very nice watch. I am pleased with the fit and feel. I love the colors. The green is more subtle than pictured. The functionality of the moon phase works well and is fun to have. I had to find the right window to put the watch next to at night. It syncs flawlessly. This is my second eco drive atomic watch. Due to the joy this one brings me I may have to get another.

Understated, but Beautiful and Versatile

The moon-phase Citizen watches all have understated dial colors. Mine is green, but you have to look carefully and under good light to see it green. Otherwise, it looks closer to black. I know that some reviewers have complained about this feature. The reason for this is that the dial features a sort of "earth map." Hence, it uses lighter and darker shades of the same color to give this subtle impression. Regardless, the watch is beautiful and versatile. Keep in mind that to set your time zone correctly, you need to look at the back of the watch to see the cities that are assigned to the time differences. It would have been easier if such a list had been provided in the instructions (the provided list doesn't include the city names). All in all, it's a beautiful watch and, within a relatively limited space, provides a significant amount of information (including the lovely moon phases). I love this watch and recommend it highly.
