The Search is Over

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.

Big Fan So Far

I’ve only had the watch for about a week but so far I’m a big fan. The few things I wish had been mentioned were the fact that the band is integrated into the face so you cannot put say a leather strap on if you wanted. I’m sure to some, if not most, this is obvious but I didn’t realize. Also this watch has what I have learned is called Lume which is very cool. Basically there is a dull fluorescent glow to the watch face that allows you to check the time at night without a light. I would recommend this watch to anyone.

Nice watch

Really enjoying the watch, no issues there. Looks great and I’m surprised by how light it is. Only critique comes from the sizing service provided by citizen. All of the links seemed to be taken from one side so the watch was sitting unevenly, while having this corrected and resized the person helping me at a local store also noticed some of the pins were not reinstalled correctly. My advice is don’t have them touch the bracelet and take it to a local shop or do it yourself.

This could be the only watch I'll need.

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.

3 hand zenchin

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.

I am satisfied

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!

Entry price, mid level package.

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.

Excellent watch

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)
