I always have wanted a watch like this and always procrastinating until last month lol
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.
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.
I ware this bull every other day and set it next to my other time pieces for him understand I care for him, lol

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.
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.
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.
I received this watch as a gift from my wife because I chose it. She gave a selection and I chose this based on looks alone. When I received it I wasn't dissapointed...with the looks. It's a good size with a mixed leather band and stainless catch. The brushed stainless case looks good with the silver face and white accents. My only couple of gripes are: 1. The clasp has some sharp edges to it that are constantly irritaing 2. The two black butons for the tchymeter are cheap feeling plastic and are very, very notchy to press. Almost to the point I feel like I'm breaking something using them. Overal I like the watch but it's not a polished product.
Stunning watch! My husband absolutely loves it. Easy to use.
