This watch is a beauty and will bring the conversation wherever you go! Very casual, very comfortable, and definitely versatile.
I like the style and simplicity of this watch. This is my second Citizen watch. My first was a Wingman circa 1992. This time around I did not need all those features. The Eco Drive never needs a new battery and this Garrison model is easy to set. I can even see the day and date dials. I find it most comfortable to wear. This was a gift to myself upon retiring early at 56. I’m looking forward to buying another Citizen watch for more formal occasions.
Love the look, the weight and feel. Very happy with this watch

I love this watch, and I got it just before probably the hardest week of backpacking I had. It still stood strong, and survived better than the cheap smart watch whose strap broke off. Absolutely love this timepiece, and will be getting more in the future.
Great watch, lots of compliments. Only thing I would change would be recess the crystal within the bezel. Feel like I’m going to scratch it up quick wearing this daily
I have had this watch almost a full year now. I have broken the glass twice and had it replaced through the jeweller I bought it from. This is definitely not an outdoor activity watch. It’s heavy and after about 3 months the glow in the dark symbols and hands fade out. It does keep accurate time but mine will get stuck about once a month. Not sure how long the battery life will hold up. If you are looking for a nice watch that will holdup to the elements and outdoors- this is not for you. I would go with something a little better suited for that use.

Very comfortable watch to wear every day and the large numbers are easy to read
I love this watch it's perfect for my needs. It is my fourth Citizen watch. I wear them with pride
I have 3 echo drives. The others are titanium. This one is a bigger piece, and I'm not a big watch guy. But this one is nice. The canvas strap in drab, and its expedition theme is spot on. This is the watch Patton would have worn. If he didn't know it's made in Japan. It's fast my #2 behind my Shinola Runwell.
This watch has a unique design that I really like. The over-sized numbers offset with the green strap make it a great casual wear. I find the strap to be very comfortable and durable; I quite often wear this model when out mountain biking and the stand out design of the hand and dial make it perfect for catching the time at a quick-glance.
Love this watch, but… There is one major drawback for me. And that is the lume is only on the hands and 4 main pips (12, 3, 6, and 9) and not the numbers. Additionally, the hands are slim and the pips small dots, which do not hold the lume all night. I should have read the description closer before purchasing. In the pictures on the Citizen site, one would assume the numbers are lumed because of their color. Other models with a similar look have lumed numbers. The Garrison does not, and there were no night shot images of the watch to clarify this. At any rate, although slightly disappointed, I'll still enjoy wearing the watch, but will be looking for another model that has fatter hands and lume on the numbers.
I am quite pleased with this watch and in the short time I've had it it's functioned well. My only down side with the watch is the band. It is on last hole and is still fairly tight on my wrist. I'm hoping that perhaps it will "Break In" and become more flexible and become a little more comfortable. If anyone has any tips on how to speed this process let me know. Also, is there a "Bracelet" style band that would fit it? That's my only gripe and it's tiny.
I looked at alot of watches before deciding on this one. After a week of having it on my wrist I believe I made a solid choice. A good value for my money. Good looks, rugged enough for my lifestyle. Time will tell how it holds up, I expect we shall get along just fine.
The band is almost to small for my wrist other than that a fine solid nice looking watch
Great watch, lots of compliments. Only thing I would change would be recess the crystal within the bezel. Feel like I’m going to scratch it up quick wearing this daily
great watch, small band. will not fit a mans wrist.
