Does everything I wanted, arrived promptly, and works perfectly.
I had an older model that was lost when my car was stolen. I found I missed that watch more than the car. I have 7 watches. In my opinion this is the nicest looking black watch on the market and there is more to it than its' good looks. Citizen does a great job of mixing the charcoal band & frame with the black face.
It definitely looks stunning. Been wearing for a year and everytime people notice the watch, they would say this watch look nice and stunning
So, this was a compromise purchase because my broken 20+ year old citizen couldn't be repaired. It has a ton of features my old Citizen Eco-Drive from 1997 doesn't. It initially is a little overwhelming visually but the instructions make it easy to figure out what's going on. It's exceptionally comfortable, and informative and feature-rich. Radio controlled time accuracy is very cool, I leave it on my window ledge every night and wake up to a dead accurate and charged timepiece that features an audible alarm, chronograph, 5 timezone settings and a seperate, alternate timezone mode. The Chronograph isn't the easiest to access, you need to pull the main crown, rotate and reset. Doing so also negates the indicator as to whether your watch is synced properly with the atomic clock. Same goes for the alarm. I miss having a mode button and a small face that indicates the mode. Also recall the chronograph continuing to run while changing modes which is not possible on this watch. The only other shocking metric is the amount of time in direct sunlight to recharge the PCAT, which is at 35 hours in direct sunlight vs. 8.5 hours. for my Tsuno Chrono Racer.
