This is a wonderful watch. The positives include eco-drive and sapphire crystal. There is no comparable watch at this price range. There are many eco-drive watches from Seiko and Citizen, but very few have sapphire crystal. Though I liked the green strap with the ivory face, I have changed it to brown to make the watch look more dressy.
Nice looking product, timely delivery, well packaged. Lighter than anticipated, in a good way. Nice wrist strap. Well designed clasp. Wanted luminous for all night function. And not sure about that. Four stars if it doesn’t perform on that level. Would have preferred reviews that mentioned things like that.
A couple of points to make before getting into it. 1. The leather strap is actually a hybrid/stainless strap 2. The rose gold is much more a traditional gold colour. I should say that in the past I have 2 issues I have to overcome when buying a watch, the strap has to be leather and as I have such a small wrist I tend to find a lack of adjustment for that "just right" feel. The hybrid strap I was initially disappointed about but upon wearing for just an hour, I have to say that it works really well, very secure and also plenty of adjustment for a good fit and no pinching which is the problem I have faced with metal straps in the past. The look of the watch is first class, the photo on the website does not convey how sharp it looks, I cannot stop looking at it!!!!!! The day/date display is a little small for my eyes but any larger I feel would ruin the overall look so I'm not complaining.
I wanted a simple daily wear watch with least maintenance and professional looking at the same time casual and sleek. This was the best choice and both me and my wife (who got this as a gift for me) absolutely luv this watch 💕
I've been wanting a leather strap watch, and already own three other eco drive watches. I loved the look of this one instantly - the mixed metals with the brown leather, and a very neutral dial face! I've seen a lot of men (or women on behalf of men) leaving reviews, but I'm a woman and got this one for me! One of my watches, my most feminine and petite, has a butterfly clasp and I love it. I was pleasantly surprised to see although it's a leather strap, it's a hybrid with a butterfly clasp! It took a second to manage the strap into the other side through the leather holding straps initially since the leather is new and not bendy. I'm three notches from the tightest setting, and the butterfly clasp does sit slightly awkwardly at rest with the size of the watch face, but I prefer larger (men's) watches in general. It's not quite as bulky as my Nighthawk, and certainly not as thick. For an extremely old school classy watch, this is perfect. I could see someone in the 1920s at Harvard wearing something similar. Anyway, I loved it when I saw it online, and it definitely is just as gorgeous in person! For reference, I'm a 5'2" athletically built, curvy up top female, and I don't feel like it's too masculine for me at all. But definitely not girly either!
This watch has it all! A simple, elegant, easy to read face that’s a beautiful blue color. No visual noise confusing you as your trying to discern the time. Three hands with excellent lumes and the day and the date situated where they should be. Water resistant to 100 feet. A classy, leather deployment band and of course citizens genius Eco drive. But the feature that did it for me was the sapphire crystal! What a nice touch. Much better than a mineral crystal.All in all a fantastic watch for the money. Citizen is the best!l

The new Corso is a very well designed watch. The separate day and date indicators are a great feature. I would make the day and date windows slightly larger but for the most part they are readable. Once adjusted, the hybrid leather and metal band fits well and should last a long time. The blue dial with the contrasting hands is easy to read.
I'm very happy with this watch. It looks great and I love its simplicity. Decided to stick with Citizen because my other Eco-Drive lasted a good 10 years without needing any maintenance.
A great piece of citizen watches, I love it and the materials are very good

Beautiful looking watch that looks even better once you have it on!
Lol I don't know a lot about watches, but my fiance picked this one out and I bought it for him as an engagement gift. We call it his "cool guy watch" :)
I bought this today, (12/9/22) and I a not sorry !
I've had this watch for about a month. It was a Christmas gift to myself, and it's much more handsome in person than it is in the photos. I also like the placement of the day function. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with both its appearance and its functionality.
Beautiful Watch.....Eco Drive movement is great. Love It
