Have had the watch about 6 months really like it. The only reason i didn't rate 5 stars is the face and particularly the date is not easy to see. while i like the darker face the date is too small for my liking. Otherwise this is a fine time piece i wear mostly for nights out. I don't wear as an everyday timepiece.
This was a gift and it is watch I get quite a few complements on!
With Eco-Drive, any Citizen watch for that matter is worth the investment. No more replacing batteries! As for styling, that comes down to a persons personal preference. I own 7 Eco-Drive watches, all have held up well with the exception of some scratches and the bands. This particular model is one of my favorites and most recent purchase. The crystal seems more durable than any of my previous watches since it still has no scratches! My only issue with this and many of the newer watches on the market is that they are bigger and noticeably heavier than my past watches (my favorite discontinued watch: Citizen 180 Eco-Drive Mens Titanium BM8290-05E). Overall a great watch worth owning.
I have had this watch for 2 years and had not issue. I do need a replacement band only because my new pup chewed it up. I have not been able to find one so if you could help that would be great. Thanks
