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!
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 💕
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.
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.
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.

Looks amazing I love it!!! I really recommend
My husband loved this watch! Thanks!
I purchased this incredible ROLAN watch by Citizen as a stand-in while my Citizen Dive Watch is being given some attention after 20 hard years of wear. The ROLAN is beautiful on the wrist, better looking than even its pictures. It is sophisticated, eloquent and purposeful in appearance. It is as functional as it is attractive. Yes the ROLAN has a sapphire crystal, separate day & date windows and is water resistant to 100 meters. It is slim and the perfect size, not too big or too small at 40mm. The padded allegator- embossed leather strap with a metal butterfly closure is the most comfortable I have ever worn. The ROLAN keeps very precise time, and the second hand aligns exactly with the hour markers. The lack of the 'sun-ray' effect coupled with luminous hands enable the ROLAN to be highly legible and versatile. This watch is worth it at twice the MSRP. The ROLAN is a winner! ...Dr. C ... ...N`est Pas!
👍👍
I gave this watch to my husband as an anniversary gift. He loves it! The style and colors really make it a handsome piece. And, the time has kept up just as it was projected to do! Love it!
I had a problem with stainless steel straps. Therefore I decided to give this watch a try and it fits on my wrist perfectly!

Has a clear professional look to the watch. I highly recommend this watch.
