I wanted a simple, elegant watch. No bells or whistles. This fit the bill perfectly. The titanium band is very light. The watch face is beautiful. I have another eco-drive watch that is over 20 years old and still running - no battery changes. I would highly recommend.
I’m really with this purchase. This is my first entry watch to the whole watch game and collection, maybe it’s not an automatic or mechanical system but that’s fine for me for the moment at the price. Very light, sturdy (have had a few little hits against certain surfaces while just moving or working and no scratches as of yet), the style is very clean and sleek. The AI feature is pretty accurate when it comes to showing the watch and measuring your wrist size - mines was pretty spot on. I feel like this watch elevates my looks and my outfits regardless if they’re urban, casual, cozy-comfy and of course put together and/or elegant. Based on how light it is and not bulky, I can comfortably keep it in my wrist and even go to sleep with it - no issues. Setting it up was a little tricky since the instructions were not that clear on where to have the hands of the watch before setting, everything else was accurate about the exception hours, the 1st and 2nd positions of the crown. With this instructions from YouTube, I was able to set it properly without the day or date skipping ahead. Here’s the link I use: https://youtu.be/LcqR-eYPMYM?si=UZ8fmiEg12JcHd1X In overall, please with my purchase and looking forward to keep using and styling it with more outfits and show it around subtly. Looking forward in the future to get its grown up siblings (Zenshin).
Great watch and prompt service, however I would suggest a different face color on this model. We ordered white, but with these hands the lack of contrast in daylight makes reading difficult.
This Citizen Evo Drive is beautiful!! It’s titanium so it’s super light and the white dial is really nice to look at. Two things I could pick at, the white hands get a little lost in the face sometimes if you’re looking to quickly tell the time… and second, the pins are super hard to get out of some of the links.. otherwise, this is a great watch to add to the collection
Overall, I am really enjoying the watch. In some low lighting conditions, the white hands on white dial can appear washed out. Contrasting hand colors might have been a nice touch. The clasp scratched a little bit easier than I had hoped. It's light on the wrist and looks crisp and elegant. Good value - I like it.
The Citizen AW0130-85A has quietly become my daily go-to. It delivers where it counts — clean design, strong materials, and a reliable Eco-Drive movement that keeps perfect time without needing any attention. The sapphire crystal is a great addition at this price point, and the overall build quality feels solid and well-executed. That said, it’s not without its flaws. The integrated bracelet looks great but limits strap options, and the sizing could be better — it’s either slightly too loose or a touch too tight, with no half-link to fine-tune the fit. The clasp only has 2 micro-adjust holes, further limiting the precision in fit for the bracelet. Still, despite those small issues, the AW0130-85A delivers excellent value. It’s subtle, sharp, and practical — the kind of watch that earns long-term wrist time without making a fuss. If you value clean design and low-maintenance reliability, this is a very strong choice.
The Zenshin is perfect for my smaller wrist. It looks great. The clasp doesn't feel up to the quality of the rest of the watch and band. Overall, very happy!
The Citizen Zenshin Three‑Hand is a compelling blend of lightweights d sleek design all wrapped in an integrated Super Titanium package. While it isn’t flawless the bracelet functionality, lume, and reflections are minor drawbacks it offers tremendous value and wrist presence in its class. If you’re drawn to its case size, dial texture and design but are okay with upgrading the clasp then it’s one of the most attractive sub‑$500 titanium watches right now
Watch worked very good. Had to reset time and date. Day of the week was correct but not date. Even though had band resize using their downloaded measurement ruler. Band is just one link to large. Which for me is ok I prefer a lose band because I do not ware any watch on the top of my wrist but on the underside of my wrist.
