I always have wanted a watch like this and always procrastinating until last month lol
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 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.
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.
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.
I just received this watch ....but citizen simply saved some money on leather strap for it especially on most important element on watch strap which is clamp. It should be finished way better than it is. It is also not nice that company does not offer any replacement for it.

I really like the look of this watch. You can dress it up or down. Also, the watch feels heavy but it's not too big in size.
