This is actually the second Citizen Blue Angle World Chronograph I have owned. The Eco-drive in my first finally went out after 12 years, not bad for a solar powered watch in my mind. It can be relatively hard to set-up, but once you know the functions, it smooth sailing after that. The instrumentation on the face can be difficult to read, especially in low light, but most complex watch faces are..... I have a modest, but growing watch collection and Citizens alway make for a different but fun addition for considerable less money than the more luxery brands.
This watch looks so good, is easier than the previous Blue Angels watch that I owned and above all needs no batteries. My old watch had to be sent to Citizen every couple of years to replace batter at a not so small price by an authorized reseller. In the last such replacement one of the buttons stopped working and no one too responsibility. This great. We watch avoids all such issues. Got a great price too.
This was my first Citizen watch purchased a few years ago. The atomic timekeeping function is really excellent; it's always accurate. Changing the the time zone when traveling is very easy, as is changing for daylight saving. I've had it for about 4 years and other than general wear on the bracelet it looks like brand new. Not a single scratch on the crystal which is amazing considering it's taken quite a beating!
I love it. Beautiful watch. Cool features and nicely made.
