I bought this within the last week and am already returning it. Do yourself a favor and really check how big the watch face will be on your wrist and how much double looping you'll need to do with the band -- had the band been shorter, I probably would have kept the watch, since I love the blue dial and the large numbers. However, the combination of the extra leather AND a giant face was just too much in the wrong direction for me. I'm returning and will buy a different Citizen watch since the quality is good, the aesthetic just wasn't for me.
I bought this watch because I like the style of the Timex Weekender, but couldn't stand the loud ticking they make. In comparison this watch is silent, and as others have mentioned equally easy to read. At first I wasn't sold on the watch strap; as others have mentioned it's quite long and there are lots of parts to it. But after wearing it I've received a number of compliments and the band has grown on me. My only complaint with this watch is that the face seems to scratch easily; mine got so scratched up after putting it in my backpack that I am now going to send it in to have the crystal replaced. Otherwise it's a perfect watch!
I bought this watch a couple weeks ago and have worn it a ton since receiving it. The face is very sleek and stylish- being able to be casual or dressed up. The only downside as someone else has mentioned is the band. You can tell it’s not the greatest quality. I love the look of it but can tell it won’t hold up for long.
I had been looking at your eco-drive watches for months. What a great concept for carefree time keeping. I am proud to wear my goof looking sleek watch!
