If you can snag this watch at a discount, get it. You get so much for what you pay for. Albeit, it's still just a quartz. But the dial is just something to adore. The "super" titanium is incredibly lightweight as well. Only time will tell if it really is more durable than my steel watches. Wish there more micro adjustments on the clasp. I have the PRX and Tsuyosa and this looks the best on the wrist. They really hit the lug to lug size on this watch perfectly.
I got mine with the perfectly adjusted bracelet to my wrist measurement. This can be the only watch that I'll need. It's a versatile timepiece that can be used daily as EDC or even in a dress shirt. So worth the wait.
I like it
This is going to be the right watch for a whole lot of people. It's probably the best value in the world today. As it's still a pretty new model, there's a satisfaction in feeling like I discovered it, having figured it out after several hours of research. But, kudos to Citizen for listening to the wishes of the online community and creating a watch that solves most of the typical complaints. Why is this the 'goldilocks' watch? A silver band with a blue face is, well, timeless. Those are my colors, and that's what I wanted. It looks great with some character to the face, and is easy to read. It has the eco-drive, so great for the environment, and no muss, no fuss with winding needed. It has a thin profile and it's titanium, so it weighs about 50% less than the other boat anchors that people wear. To get a better watch (of any brand) you'd have to spend almost twice as much. Also, unlike other watches that are almost all either bigger (40-42 mm) or smaller (35mm), the 39mm is the perfect look for the thin to average size wrist. I measured at 7 1/8". So, I ordered it for Citizen to set it for a wrist size of 7 1/4 rather than 7". But, it was indeed just a little too loose. A trip to the local watch repair took out a link, and also lengthened the fine scale adjustment from the first dot to the second dot, and it now fits great. Nitpicks: My guess is that there are bound to be a small percentage of people that could benefit from the availability of a finer scale adjustment (even just 3 holes rather than 2 perhaps?), also there are some watches in this price range with snazzier bands. Lastly, the lume is adequate/good, nothing to brag about. Those issues are small. Feel free to save yourself the hours of research, this is the right one.
I am most impressed with the Zenshin 3 hand eco-drive watch; the blue face is very attractive with a tradition watch design, and the Titanium watch and band are very comfortable without being bulky or heavy. The metal watch band needed to have some links removed to fit my wrist, but there were no particular instructions provided as to how to remove and replace the pins connecting the links. Having removed links from other watch bands without any problems, I removed the ones in the Zenshin band, but when I inserted the pins back into the links, the pens continued to fall out with the watch falling off my wrist. I contacted Citizens repair and learned that there are collars which go with the pins to hold them in. I called Citizens for parts, and three links with pins inserted are being sent to me to take to my local jeweler for replacement. Trust these will work without issue.
This watch on sale is unbelievable value. Has become my favorite in my collection. The Citizen super titanium has won me over...hope they keep developing new models. I will definitely be buying more of the brand (own five so far)

Watch works fine, is light weight and light powered, sized properly, beautiful watch, I am pleased!
Watch is great, keeps perfect time, and titanium band is very light. Seller was excellent
The watch sizing was spot on. I really like the simple straightforward look of the watch with a little patter flare on the dial. The watch does exactly what I need of it. As a medical person I need a second hand. I need the day--do not really need the day of the week but to be honest on those days when I may be a vacation or have a day off work it can help! I have a thin y inch wrist but it works without too much clunkiness and of course Eco-Drive and Citizens scratch resistant but lightweight titanium!
I ordered this watch on a Sunday night and had it by Wednestay morning. I have a 7 1/4 inch wrist and it fits great. The fit and finish on this is excelent and the second hand hits all the marks. I got the blue because it looked like with the darker background it would be easier to read. It is and the day date is easy to read too. Good looking and comfortable watch.
Very nice watch & beautiful as well. Excellent quality and fit. Keep up the good work Citizen Team.
