I have had this watch for a couple of years. Of course it keeps excellent time, and it looks great. But a design feature that I find regrettable is that the minute hand does not extend fully to the minute hashmarks on the outer rim of the watch face. An "atomic" clock watch is for consumers who enjoy exactitude with respect to time. (The classic Movado Museum watch, for example, would not satisfy this interest.) A related design issue, which I have found with other Citizen watches, is that the minute hand is narrower than it needs or ought to be. Make seeing the time as effortless as possible, especially with a dial that is kind of "busy" like most chronographs.
I have another Citizen "Brycen," BL5403-03X, which has received lots of compliments, but the more expensive Blue Angel AT8020-03L was the REAL apple of my eye. Recently, I was able to make the, " Blue Angel," purchase. This watch with the leather band, is going to get even more looks from others, and or, "Where did you buy that Watch?" I love Citizen, because of their reputation, ECO technology, quality, warranty and accuracy.
This is my 3rd . Citizen watch and defenetly not my last . Thanks JJ
bought this a month ago, and enjoying it more each day. At first I wanted to buy a metal bracelet for it, which will not fit, but the leather band has softened and is very comfortable
