Excellent built and quality! Like a German tank! It seems to survive my active style of living, I run, swim and bang it for 4 years and it still runs with no problems, real field watch for tough guys or girls!!!
This watch has been perfect for me. Ideal for both casual and more formal settings. Ot os comfortable, reliable and the eco drive is awesome.

I am unfortunately not happy with this watch for the following reasons: The watch face colour does not match the colour depicted in the marketing photo. The real colour is dark blue which looks black in all lighting other than strong light. See photo. I would not have chosen this watch if I knew this. True, the spec says dark blue, but why use a green picture? CITIZEN must fix this misrepresentation. The strap is ridiculously stiff. It may loosen up with time but who knows... The date is recessed from the face and not particularly easy to read. The second hand does not line up with the ticks correctly. This is a small point but then again this is a $200 watch, not a $20 one.
I bought this 3 years ago. It has a black strap. It still runs very accurately. Its tough as nails with a classic look - not too busy. I can read easily at night too. My phone is located on other side of room at bedtime so Im not tempted to stay up -yuck. 😩

Overall, I think this purchase turned out better than I expected. The dial face turned out to be a bit larger than I thought but in retrospect that was for the better since my eyes are getting older and the larger numbers are easier to see. The white numbers against the black face give very good contrast. It also helps that the #12 and #6 digits are slightly larger than the other numbers. I wish the calendar feature was larger as one has to bring the watch close to the eyes to view them clearly. Or had black numbers on a white background instead of the converse for better contrast like one of the other Eco Drives I have. Just be aware that the wrist band might be an issue if your wrist is too small. Otherwise I had no issues wearing it so far. I have liked the Eco Drive ever since I no longer have to replace watch batteries or remember trying to keep a mechanical drive wound up from non-use. Just have to keep it near a light source.
I enjoy wearing this watch. Very reliable time. I've had it for a year.

Honest basic watch. Nothing flashy, but a very good watch.
A very nice watch for the price. I bought it because it has the features that I was looking for such as day and date and obviously the fact that it is an analog watch. I did change the band to a NATO strap. I liked the look and fit better than the original band that came with the watch but you can’t go wrong either way.
Got my first Citizen in '72 as a graduation gift and have been a fan of them ever since. The Chandler is a great looking and very comfortable watch.
