This is a great looking watch and light weight. The only negative is the sapphire crystal is very reflective and it makes it hard to see the dial under certain lighting conditions. Doesn't look like the sapphire crystal has any anti-reflective coating on it (at least the description doesn't mention it)
This watch is my second Citizen and is much lighter than my first one. I expected the weight of the watch to be about the same as my original that i have had for 15+ years. That in not a problem but a surprise. However, I am pleased with my new Citizen.
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 is a beautifully made watch, the blue textured dial looks great with the titanium case and bracelet. The titanium is very evenly brushed, with a few polished areas. It’s a very subdued high quality look. I got the lady’s size because I’m a man with a small 7” wrist and didn’t want an oversized watch. The custom band sizing gave a perfect fit out of the box. I’ve had it a week and it’s still within a second of my iPhone. Very happy with this watch, it’s good looking, comfortable, and maintenance free.
Excelente reloj, estoy muy contento de haberlo adquirido
Beautiful, easy to read, love the solar power, good fit and finish. I have 2 other Citizens, oldest is 13 years old, still runs like new.
This is my second Citizen watch and they are the best! This watch had the beautiful deep blue color that I was looking for and it did not disappoint! If you want quality, buy a Citizen!
Recently became interested in wearing watches again, Citizen was my first high quality watch at age 21 but don't know what happened to it. Started wearing other watches daily this summer,ceven revived my father's 75 Zodiac Astrograph just for dress up and to match my gold . I scratched it doing a task I knew better than doing with it on but I forgot which watch I was wearing. This watch gives me everything I need to know at glance, dress or casual, wearing silver, gold or both, and if I pull over to help someone broke down or stuck in the snow I know it won't get destroyed if I am in a rush or forget I'm wearing it. Feels good to wear an Eco Drive again and I bought it to celebrate my dog surviving surgery the week before, so every time l look at it I will be thankful for another day with my best friend. When he's gone, I'll remember his companionship for decades because I know this watch will last that long.
Watch is excellent! The sizing guide should advise to go up a little in size because I had take it to a local repair shop for a link to be added, even though I printed and used the wrist sizing guide.
