I bought this watch a week ago and am not 100% pleased. I like the way it looks, but is difficult to read at night. The dials and the numbers are not illuminated making the Time almost unreadable.
Nice Watch. Just disappointed that the Hour hand and Minute hand doesn't illuminate Hard to see in dark when hanging outside with friends. Have use a lighter to read time
I bought this watch sometime around 2 years ago. I do like the watch, looks good. The only issue i have, have a hard time seeing it. Hands blend in with the background. And at night, the illuminated face lasts for less than an hour, then becomes nearly impossible to read the time.
Just like everyone else- love this watch, mechanically perfect, looks sharp. Only one problem- the hands blend perfectly into the dial. In anything but direct sunlight you can't read the time. If I could send it in to get the hands changed to something readable I certainly would. What say yea Citizen? Look at all the reviews here stating the same thing.
I bought this watch a week ago. I have allergies to some metals. So far this watch has been good for me that way. The watch says it's luminous. If it has a bright light to "charge" the luminous material, it does. But it is hard to see at night. If you don't have a good light source, you can't read this watch at night. If that was better, this watch would receive a 5 star rating. For the price, it's good for a day watch, a good showpiece, and that's about it. Come nighttime, the watch fails.
Hard to read date. Time also hard to read because hands are same color as background.
The watch is beautiful! Bought it as a gift for my fiancé. However, the face is really difficult to read in daytime, and impossible at night. The hands have no reflective coating and completely blend in. Had to return.
Had this watch for 4 years and love the styling, weight, chargability with any light - but -hands are not luminous except immediately after being exposed to light. Called the company and was told in order to see hands at night you must expose them to light? What good are luminous hands if you can't read them at night?
I love the look of this watch EXCEPT...it will NOT light up in the dark at all it is very dim and even when charged in light all day I also see lots of complaints for this very problem on line for this exact watch . You can NOT see what time it is in the dark
