I have always loved Citizen watches , the Satellite Wave is an amazing watch super reception time , the watch is very nice You will not be disappointed
This watch was seen on multiple cruise ships and finally bought one on the most recent cruise. Few watches in their shops were set to the correct time, including the one I bought. I was told by the shops that the watch could only be set by satellite on land which may not be totally true. The watch was set manually on the cruise shop at purchase. I tried to set the watch to satellite when I got home without success. I brought it to a Citizen dealer who set the watch to the satellite for me. I have worn it every day since and enjoy wearing it. I have also travelled with it recently and was able to change the time zone without issues.
I'm a Citizen fan, and I like the black elegant color and unique green tip hands. Although the florescent tip doesn't show well in the dark. I do like the satellite feature, and it's overall a unique part of my watch portfolio collection.
Great watch, works as expected. Only small caveat - the dark dial is really hard to see in the dark and in dark rooms/meeting venues, etc. The fluorescence doesn't light up as expected.
I haven't been outside of the country yet, but so far, this watch does everything it's supposed to. I haven't had any of the problems I've read about in other reviews. I have no big complaints. Lumination could be better. I love the design. Half length band links makes for perfect sizing. Very comfortable on my 8-1/2" wrist with one half-link removed. High contrast dial
I like the watch and when I manually set it to the time zone it sets fine. However, every time I change the time zone and try to set it using the GPS function it just sets to the time zone that I manually set. So if you want it for the gps setting function, like I did, I would give it second thoughts. I do like the watch it just does not work like described
Well, the watch looks great and seems to work just fine. Except, there appears to be nothing for using it in the dark. I don't get any light/glow to see the hands or the number spots in the dark. So is this watch only to be used in the dark?
This is a nice watch, and worked great for me when I received it, but as others have mentioned, the combination of the dark dial and green hands makes this watch too hard to read in anything less than optimal lighting. I am returning this one and buying the old model which has better visibility.
