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 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
