I bought this about a year and a half ago, love the leather band, the watch looks complicated but is so simple to use, heavy which is what I like, couldn't have made a better choice.
The Brycen is a great entry level watch to get for someone. The details on tachymeter are really nice to look at. overall I really like the design.
Got it on sale for $240 + GST. Very happy with it even though my wrist is 6.25". I have a fairly flat wrist though. I absolutely love the white cream coloured dial, with black hour and minute markers. The orange chronograph hand and dial ring add a nice pop too. I also like the shiny leather rally strap although it's long for my wrist size.

This watch is the 4th Eco I've bought and probably my favorite! It's a great size and the ivory color stands out as the perfect highlight to anything one wears. Plus no batteries or winding, can't go wrong! It's just a great timepiece!
I love this handsome every day watch. It is very sporty, accurate, and the eco drive tech is A++!!

I bought myself the black face version as a treat two weeks,easy to view the time and tachograph/stopwatch.i now have 6 citizen watches,great brand,all my others have a bracelet but its nice to have a strap for variety or if you dont want the watch moving about on your wrist,its a thick quality leather too.highly recommend this watch.
First watch I received as a gift was a Citizen Brycen, and ever since this has been my favorite series of watch. Blending more antiquated styles with the latest in timekeeping technology, this is faithful to retro chronographs of the 60s and 70s. Unlike some brands that will use an immitation tachymeter that does not sync up with the second-hand, this piece features a pressurized start/stop count needle to professionally track actual timed-out readings!! True chronographs quickly drain batteries as they draw more power when timing out lap counts. So, the value of this being one of the world's few solar-powered graduated chronographs cannot be understated. What stylistically makes this a real winner, is the off-white face with numerical numbering in place of roman numerals. Designed after automotive speedometers, this makes a statement to racing fans everywhere. Citizen has truly outdone themselves with this design.
My wife surprised me with this beautiful timepiece for my Birthday. I love the classy and sporty look of this watch and leather band! It is also very comfortable!

I’ve had this watch for a while now and it’s just a great watch. I can say that I own 3 Echo drive watches and love all 3. The quality is top notch and the look is just brilliant.
I´m a brnad´s fan, I have 8 Citizen watches and this one is fantastic. I really like its retro sport look.

This is the watch I purchased my boyfriend he loves it.
Seems the quality is good, great looks, easy to read... except the date. I don't understand why they make the date sooooo small; it's not really usable 99% of the time (unless under direct light with eyeball stuck to glass). Hands are luminous but not the hours, so you have to estimate the time. I wish they had a backlit option though, because I don't look at my watch almost immediately when I go into a dark room or at night outside. By the time I need to see the ..time, there's no luminescence as it lasts only a few minutes. The timer goes up to 1 hr, not enough for a regular activity (class) that goes up to 1.5 hrs. It would help if the bezel rotated, but it doesn't. The band is leather but it may be too short for some men. I have an average wrist size and as you can see in the picture, it's tight. It makes it slightly harder to put this on because the length is shorter than most original bands that came with other watches I owned. It's a nice watch and I'm keeping it. I like Citizen watches. Even on sale, this is not an inexpensive watch. Obviously value means different things to different people. A few years ago, I can't see myself spending this much for a wrist watch even if it had atomic time keeping, sapphire crystal & backlit (this doesn't any of those features). Registering it gives you and additional year of warranty for a total of 6. I inspected it closely, it's brand new and probably made in Japan. I'm assuming so, because on the back it says "Japan Mov't" I'll update if I encounter any problems in the future. My other Citizen watches have been reliable.

I have been thinking about buying the watch for a while, it has an elegant and at the same time casual style...I love it but I don't give it 5 stars because it is very difficult to see the date even with glasses...ah, I bought it...😄
Its a bit simple compared to some of the other watches for the price but if simple is whar you want then this is perfect
I’ve worn this watch daily for about 6 months now because I really like the look of the face. The only downside is the band. The coating on the leather is wearing through like crazy. It seems super cheap relative to the price of the watch itself.

I bought this watch this month and I am happy about the look, design and accuracy but the date is so small and for someone with the glass hard to see
This is a very handsome understated gentleman's watch. The price point is very good for the quality and design. Many people on reviews state the strap is a weak point but I haven't found that at all and think it suits the style very well. It looks somewhat of the 1960's 1970's period of drivers watches and wears well in a casual setting.
Very sharp watch. The date display is difficult to see but not a significant issue. This is my fifth Citizen watch and I look forward to purchasing more.
Great watch for several occasions. This is my first watch and I'm very happy with it.
Very happy with product. It was as advertised and recipient was very happy to receive it.
The Brycen is a great entry level watch to get for someone. The details on tachymeter are really nice to look at. overall I really like the design.
Beautiful Watch, I'm a collector especially Eco-Drive

This watch really caught my eye. I love the color set. Its not flashy but instead very classy. It is by far my favorite Citizen watch ive purched yet.
This watch is the 4th Eco I've bought and probably my favorite! It's a great size and the ivory color stands out as the perfect highlight to anything one wears. Plus no batteries or winding, can't go wrong! It's just a great timepiece!
Very accurate time piece, you cant go wrong owning a citizen watch they are built to last, and comfortable to wear.
