Very elegant and stylish. This is the kind I have been looking for. It goes well with casual or professional dresses. People will notice from a far how stylish it is. Good decent price. This watch is the gift I bought for myself and I am loving it.
This is a very nice simplistic watch without the extra bells and whistles that are found on other Citizen watches. The ecodrive means that I never have to replace the battery. This watch is minimalistic in that it provides only the time and date, which is exactly what I like about this watch. There are times when I just want to wear a simple watch and this fits the bill perfectly. I like the clasp that this leather band uses. I think it is better than the typical buckle used on leather bands. The rose gold part of the watch pairs well with the silver stainless steel portion of the watch. It (the rose gold) does not clash with the watch's look. In fact it looks rather elegant. I really like this watch and am glad I purchased it for my collection.
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.
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.
