Industrial strength construction, elegant and tasteful faceplate that's easy to read without glasses. day and date a bit too small though, and the overall weight causes the watch to twist upside down unless the strap is tight.
This is a fantastic watch! It's my first Citizen and first solar watch. I've received several compliments from coworkers. Two small design tweaks and it would be 5 stars: (1) the watch strap is too big/long despite me having normal-to-large size wrists, so there's lots of excess strap when wearing it; and (2) The Citizen logo on the watch face looks a bit like a simple sticker, likely due to the solar cell on the watch face as the background.
Earth Logo is missing on the back of the CLASSIC design. WHY??!! Its disappointing! Also, day/date has a flaw where you have to adjust the date 5 times a year to have the watch show the correct dates.
Got this time piece for retirement from my kids and this watch is an excellent addition to my watch collection.
Overall a beautiful looking classic watch. However, Its day/date has a flaw where you have to adjust the date 5 times a year to have the watch show the correct dates.
