A bit bulky for a real dress watch but a real workhorse that also looks amazing. Got this one on a beige nubuck leather strap and the look is hard to beat for a summer watch. wr100, saphire,set it and forget it Citizen get to make something like this in 38mm with a dome Saphire Crystal and a thinner profile.
My wife loves it. The band took a few minutes to figure out but no real problem. Haven't set the date yet but I am sure there will be no real problem. Very satisfied!
Really am enjoying this watch. I have one other Citizens that’s more formal with a metal van, but I’ve always liked leather bands, but the thing I’ve never liked about is having to put the metal piece through the hole and you don’t have to do that even though it looks like you have that it’s a typical Citizens where you snap it on, nothing beats not having change batteries absolute must. I will never buy a watch that needs batteries changed in the future. They’re just too much of a pain and nobody knows how to do them anymore so I’m down to two watches and they both citizen drives.
I really like this watch. it checks almost all the boxes: good value, Eco-drive, Day/date, good looks. I have the gold tone with the champaign face and it is stunning. My only dislike is the band & deployment clasp. The band looks ok, but is stiff, made in China, and difficult to use. Maybe it is just me, but I hate a deployment clasp. For me, they are very difficult, hard to use and uncomfortable. This is my 2nd Citizen watch with a "deployment clasp". I immediately remove and replace them with a high quality strap and regular clasp, so that has to figure into the value equation for me.
