I bought this watch 6 months ago and loved it! It’s an eye catcher and is built very well HOWEVER the inside of the band strap is painted RED and rubs off on your wrist after a few wears. See pics. I thought the red ink would wear off over time but it’s gotten worse and is very noticeable. This band needs to be updated ASAP.
The design of this watch with the controls in stopwatch position is very unique and sets itself apart from many others. Also the band is attractive as well. The setting instructions are easy to follow. You will not be disappointed with this watch.
I always have wanted a watch like this and always procrastinating until last month lol
Don’t like the snap wrist buckle feature. I have a very hard time adjusting to my wrist. It locks in one hole and it very hard to adjust once it’s set to that hole now it’s has a loose feel on your wrist and hard to adjust. The watch is fairly expensive to not be easy to use. I think I am going to return it for a refund
unboxing was very disappointing because the watch is chrome not white as shown in picture, the chronograph hand is so thin is hard to see, they should have used the alarm hand for the chronograph instead, the worst feature is the wrist band I spent almost an hour to figure out how to adjust and no instructions on the users manual is the worst design I ever encounter on a watch band.

Unique and sporty look, but flaws in execution. The biggest concern for me is the very poor quality of the leather strap and deployment clasp, which is not smooth in operation, has sharp edges and is generally nowhere near the quality expected at this price. I own other Citizen watches that are cheaper but have far higher-quality bands and straps.
I purchased this watch new for Christmas 2019. Pre-Covid!! I love this watch. Great looks, great presence. Nice mix of metals and leather. Not five stars for one reason, the press buttons are a bit notchy. But I never use the tach anyways.
After owning this watch for a couple of years I'm very happy with it, with the two exceptions noted below. The styling is tasteful without being boring or obnoxious. It holds time very well, and the stopwatch functions are spot-on accurate. It would be my daily wear watch, except. . . 1) the poorly thought-out clasp which has some protruding, rather sharp corners that bite on occasion, and 2) the nonexistent luminosity. If I can every find an acceptable band, it will be my every "daytime" wear watch. Being aware of, and making others aware of those two small caveats, I can recommend this watch.
My kids bought me this watch about a month ago love everything about the case color, styling etc....,the leather strap band is awkward when putting it on over my large hand and once the the clasp is fasted it keeps me noticing it on my wrist that's the only reason I give it a 4 stars, the case is a 5 stars other than that Citizen knocked it out of the park with it's Aesthetics.
Beautiful watch however the strap is somewhat awkward and really does not fit well does not come with setup instructions
I have owned the watch for about a month and overall I am happy with the looks, however I wasn't at first. In the images presented the face looks to be white and I liked that. When I first opened it I was indoors at night and the face color did not at all look like it does in the images. When I took it out in brighter light it does appear whiter, so after general wear, I am happy enough with the color, but I just want to point out to others, it isn't white. Nit: the alarm on/off hand isn't centered between the two other dials. I find that odd. One other issue I have with this watch as well as with my Brycen is the second hand is small, and the larger looking second hand is only for the stopwatch. At first I thought NBD I can just sync the stopwatch hand and the second hand and then I will have the large second hand I wanted, but that doesn't work as it only runs for about 12 hours or something. Again, probably a minor point. Like others have mentioned, the snap clasp is a bit sharp and should be remade to be rounder on the edges.
