Excellent watch and high quality for the price! Great birthday present!
Bought this watch about a month ago and have worn every day. Love the look and may even have liked a little larger size as I am a bit larger than normal. The material and feel of the band is OK but so non-descript that it detracts fom the elegance of the watch. Further, for some reason, this band wants to twist on my arm so that the face of the watch is pointed away from view. This causes me to have to twist either my arm or the watch and band in order to see the dial. Inconvenient. I am looking for another band. Failing that, I'll look for another watch. Too bad, because as I had stated, I like the watch.
purchased a new citizen watch for my birthday last year. Always owned a timex!
One of my go to pieces! Did not care for the rubber strap so I put on a Bond Zulu Nato strap and wear it just about every day.
Bought this myself and simply a classic look with a touch of blue. Easy to set and adjust. The band is a silicon style which some may not, I had to cut some length off and I would take your time at doing so. The watch is itself is beautiful and very light on the wrist. I love my citizen watches and this makes number 6 in my collection and in the top 4 of those I wear daily.
Very comfortable. Band is thin and flimsy. Watch itself as very little weight to it. Lume on the markers is not good, and does not last very long. Keeps good time, I suppose it was worth the 80 something bucks on Slick deals, but certainly no more than that in my opinion.
I am the low man on the totem pole in the brew house that I work in, I work all day every day with chemicals to clean and sanitize kegs, fermenters, parts, etc... And I wear this exact watch every day from the time I get up to the time I go to bed and it has served me well. The only thing that has given out is the wristband, this is to be expected with the chemicals that I handle; they are known to weaken plastics and rubber materials. The crystal dial cover has taken many nicks and scratches from running into kegs and wooden pallets, but it is still water tight and holding strong. I would highly recommend this watch for the man who just wants a watch to wear every day, if it can withstand my everyday duties than I am pretty sure it can withstand yours.
This review is late but seeing the watch every day getting no use has prompted me to warn others. The watch itself is amazing and still functional, but the band split and broke after 2 years of normal wear. Sadly this is not covered in the 5 year warranty, and you have to pay $45 to replace it. The watch has since took up space and served no purpose, since I can't justify the band price if I'll be paying it again in the future.
Love the look of this watch; the blue accents are excellent. Like other Citizen Watches this watch reveals different aspects of its character in changing light. I wanted a sturdy Eco-Drive watch with a rubber strap for work & this was a perfect choice. Eco-Drive is an exceptional feature so you don't have to change the battery. I have other Citizen watches so I know it will last. Very happy with my purchase.
