My husband loves this watch. It glows in the dark and very stylish. Military green. Very nice and high quality.
I bought this for my husband's birthday after spying him browsing on the site. I wasn't sure which one to get but I figured I couldn't go wrong with the one because it fits in with his rugged, outdoorsy style and he could probably figure out how to use all the advanced features for something. Whenever one of his friends comments on his watch he goes on and on (and on, and on) about how much he loves it!

This work of art has quickly become my new daily wearer. The design is certainly one of my favorites with a stylish, yet rugged look that cant help but turn some heads. As usual, Citizen has knocked it outta the park with its attention to detail and functionality! Great Job!!

Great watch that needs a few tweaks to be perfect, so listen up Citizen! As others have noted, the arrow is inverted at 60, fix that. The date is too difficult to read - it's set so far down below the face that it gets shadows making it hard to read at a glance. Make the window bigger, or tapered, or use a matching orange/black for better contrast, or a magnifier. Pick one, fix that. What I like - the look, and readability - great sized numerals and hands for quick checks. Great lume too. Overall looks/feels solid, and the green strap is a beaut. As a bonus, a screw down crown wouldn't hurt either. Of course, once you make these corrections, a sample would be appreciated! Good bang for the buck overall.
Love the colors and styling on this compared to previous generations, and I'm very happy to see the secondary rotating crown moved to the right side. BUT, I'd like to know who's idea it was to make the index marker on the inner scale face the 12 on the dial instead of the outer scale like it is supposed to...
I bought the watch on-line because I was looking for a water resistant (for snorkeling) watch that was self winding or solar powered. This eco-drive watch meets those needs quite well. It keeps time when wet and I don't have to replace any batteries which can allow moisture in. The watch is not particularly comfortable. It is thicker than any watch I've owned at 12 - 13 mm. The band and watch, together, are just over 8" long. I don't have a large wrist but this is not big enough for a comfortable fit and the watch has dropped off my wrist more than once. Citizen offered not help on sizing a better band. The glow in the dark simply doesn't. I can not read the dial when waking up in the middle of the night. Glad I have a cell phone. I can not make out the date even when wearing reading glasses unless the light is perfect for that task. This is the only analog watch I've ever owned where that is the case. I called Citizen looking for some help with an exchange. No joy there. The pretty much said, "it sucks to be me". Some I'm out several hundred $ with a watch that is not, for all intents and purposes, functional.
Lost 2-4 minutes a day. Like the look and feel just poor time keeping
