A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED.

THIS IS MY FIFTH CHRONO ECO-DRIVE. FIRST TIME GETTING ONE WITHOUT A METAL WRIST BAND. THE LATCH MECHANISM IS CLUMSY AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AS IT OPENS ON ITS OWN REGULARLY. AND THE SLIDING STRAP LOOP WONT SLIDE OVER THE METAL TO TUCK THE STRAP IN. IV'E BEEN WEARING IT FOR A MONTH NOW AND JUST CAN'T GET USED TO IT. CITEZIN WAN'TS $140.00 +TAX TO REPLACE LEATHER STRAP WITH CORRECT METAL ONE!!! AND FINALLY THE HANDS ON THE FACE OF THE WATCH ARE THE SAME COLOR AS THE FACE. WHITE ON WHITE, HARD TO SEE. THATS WHAT I GET GET FOR BUYING A WATCH ONLINE RATHER THAN IN PERSON.

Coulda been a contender...

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.

Nice watch, face color not as expected

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.
