This is my first Citizen and Eco-Drive watch. First, the set up and configuration can't be performed without charging the watch. Set the watch in sun light or under a bright lamp for a couple of hours before you attempt the set up. Also, it will help to print out the instructions because you have to flip back and forth between pages to set it up. They could have done a better job organizing the owners manual. The watch is nice watch for the price in my opinion. Most of my watches have a comma in the price. I wanted to add an "ice blue" face to my collection without paying a lot of money. The color of the face seems more of a powder blue then how it looks on line. The bracelet is nice and it's lighter than a stainless steel bracelet. The over all weight of the watch feels good. The chronograph function with the .20th second hand is really nice. I also like all the additional complications the watch has. I'm satisfied with my purchase.
I have tried to give the watch less than all five stars. But, I can not. I have a Endeavor watch that is a little heavier and gets many compliments. So, I was trying to compare the two. But this Sports Luxury is getting it's share of compliments also at this time. I only had the watch for a little over a week. A beautiful birthday gift to myself. Once again, all five stars.
Beautiful watch, the video instructions made the set up a breeze.
Ditched my apple watch and I love this heavy slick watch!
This beautiful thing just arrived. I'm so glad to have it in my AT collection. I'm sure to get complements when I wear it in public. This watch might make my other ones jealous.
Another reviewer noted that as soon as he saw this watch, he had to have it - and I felt the same way! I really like blue dials and this one is special. It is what might be called a pale blue or baby blue color. It's a rare color in watch dials and I really like it. The bracelet has brushed and polished links and looks very nice. It looks expensive. My only note here is that it could be larger. It fits my 7 3/4 wrist exactly with no links removed, but if my wrist expands I'll need another link added. The H800 movement is great, and I have that same movement in another Eco-drive watch. Accessing the chronograph is easy. This is my 8th Eco-drive watch and 9th Citizen watch that I currently own. This Sport Luxury AT is, I think, the most beautiful Citizen watch in my collection.
The watch seems to be of good value but I can't get it "programmed" to display the correct time. The directions are somewhat confusing and incomplete. A watch should be easy to set and use. This watch is a steep learning curve.
Great Purchase!My only disdain is having been a quality gift I had higher expectations for the quality in packaging. To receive a dirty box was disappointing. Otherwise, a beautiful watch I’m excited to gift.
Citizen Response
The only thing I would have wanted was an extra link, having 4 Citizen watches, they came with extra links. Otherwise happy with purchase. Easy to set.

I was given this for Christmas and while I love this watch for dress , I would agree with other reviews as the hands need to be a more contrasting color scheme. I have other citizen including my 17yr old daily wear Skyhawk that has not missed a beat and I have no doubt this watch will also give me years of enjoyment worry free .
Love my new Citizen watch. Looks great and you can never go wrong with Ecodrive technology. The only downside is since the casing is stainless steel, it has a very light feel which comes off as a little cheaper.
Excellent watch but hour/minute dials can be a bit hard to read
Very nice. The dial is beautiful. I get asked about it every time I wear it. The Eco Drive movement is flawless.
This watch is perfection! The face is the most beautiful light blue. The atomic time is super easy to use and extremely accurate. It is the perfect sized face. I had Citizen size the band and it was perfectly sized as well. Citizen knocked it out of the park with this watch! I highly recommend it!
Gifted it to my husband. He loved it!
