Favorite watch for everyday wearing

I got this watch a couple month ago because I had two other watches stop working at about the same time a Timex and a Fossil. I have always wanted a Citizen and figured I would get one now. I am not disappointed l love it and wear it everyday. The ONLY thing that made me give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact it is a field watch and I do use it camping, hiking, night photography, etc but when using at night it can get hard to read due to the lume fading. I would like to see a backlight, or a luminescent that lasted longer but this is a minor issue. Overall I would buy this watch again without a second thought.

Great Quality Watch

This watch is great and I've loved wearing it nearly every day for over a year.

So far pretty good

I bought this watch for myself for graduating US Army flight school and have been wearing it ever since (5 years). I like the size and look, and while it hasn't failed completely, it has certainly suffered. I haven't trashed it, I don't typically take it into the field, I usually take my G shock because I don't care if that gets wrecked. But I definitely don't baby it. I have replaced the band twice now due to fraying and cracking. The glass has some decent chips and scratches, but is still borderline serviceable, the case has plenty of scratches in it, the back is textured from sand getting between it and my wrist. I haven't taken it swimming too much, but it gets wet from rain, sweat, dew, periodic submersion etc, and I think the waterproofing is failing as I had some condensation on the inside of the glass that took about a month to go away. After that happened the red chronograph hand now stops on the 58 second mark instead of at 12 o'clock. I just returned from a 7 month deployment where the watch sat in a duffel bag for about 6. When I took it out it took a bit to charge and now it doesn't seem to be keeping time very well anymore, and the chrono doesn't work at all. I still like the watch, I just don't treat it super well. Sadly it does not seem to be up to the rigours of a helicopter pilot's life (not a ton of rigour).I wish it was a lot more rugged while maintaining the same sleek and simple look, but I still plan on getting it serviced and will continue to wear it.
