I have the BN0261-51e black dial. Saw it advertised in Spain & Italy a month or two ago. I finally saw it on the Citizen USA website 7 June and ordered it. Got it 11 June. It’s exactly what I wanted. Perfect size, looks great on my 7.25 in wrist. Bezel is smooth. The tool less micro adjusting clasp is fantastic (I adjust the fit a couple times a day)! Solar panels on my roof and in my watches.
I was looking for a diver style watch that fit well on my 6.8” wrist, was solar powered, and this is perfect. Thickness is 11.5mm with a bezel diameter of 40.4mm. It doesn’t say if it has an anti reflective coating on the sapphire, but compared to others in my collection it would seem to.
This is my first Citizen watch and I'm super happy with the look and feel of it. Very convenient to print out the size guide and have it fit straight out of the box, and the 41mm dial looks right on my 7-1/4" wrist. Timeless style and not monstrous like many other dive watches. The lumens kind of turn green in bright sunlight but give off a nice glow in the dark. I'm still on the fence about the bracelet - the tool-less micro-adjust is nice, but the long clasp makes it too rigid to spin on the narrow part of my wrist.

This is the perfect watch for my everyday needs, and it is truly impressive in its understated elegance and reliability.

This is a good-looking watch, and it has a comfortable bracelet. However, I do have some gripes, especially for the price point. First, the hand alignment is not perfect, which is frustrating when you're spending nearly $500. Second, the clasp is very long and bulky, and it is even longer if you want to use the toolless micro adjustments. Overall, I like it, but I think it should be a little more refined for the price.
