I bought the blue/stainless version and love it. The case is wonderfully thin, comfortable, and lightweight. The dial is beautifully finished. This is my only watch without a seconds hand and I like it, especially for a quartz. I've been wanting a thin watch and an eco-drive, so this is perfect. The case is well done for the most part, but mine has a slight imperfection at twelve o'clock on the polished bezel that is visible from only some angles. I'll call it factory fresh patina and I'm sure I'll bang it up more before too long. The strap is leather and adequate, but certainly not a standout. Lugs are 21mm so aftermarket strap options are plentiful and I've already ordered a proper black leather one to better suit my taste. The lug to lug distance is less than 45mm if I recall and is very comfortable on my 7.25 inch wrist. Overall, I love the watch and it will be one of my work favorites (in addition to my orange face Tsuyosa) after I get a nicer strap on it. Great job Citizen! I deducted a star for the imperfection in the case/bezel finishing.
Love the blue, the soft leather strap, and especially how thin this watch is. Readability, not so much. It's something that I've noticed in recent years: The face designs have gotten busier, the hands have gotten narrower and blend with the lines marking seconds and hours, and there's not enough contrast between them and other design elements. Still, I have several Citizens that I've bought over the past 20-ish years because they keep excellent time, are durable, and look great.
In agreement with another reviewer to have a black dial with silver stainless steel case black strap. Additionally have this option with a silver stainless steel bracelet.
The blue is much lighter than in the picture and because of that the thin silver hands are very hard to read. I really like the size, style, thinness and comfort. But I cannot recommend it because it is difficult to read and that the photos on the web site misrepresent the watch.
You get what you pay for, and this is among the more reasonably priced solar quartz's out there. Works perfectly and looks nice. But the face is impossible to read in all low lights because of the incredibly poor lume. All but unusable at night.
While I appreciate the slim profile, the rest of the watch is lackluster. The design is basic without being elegant. The band and the finishes feel cheaper than anticipated for this price point. If you’re looking for a slim profile, the Stiletto collection offers better designs and value.
