I have about 200 watches, including 20 Citizens. But this one is disappointing. Every other analog chronograph is instantly available. But this one requires a tedious mode change (pull the crown and rotated it to CHR). As another reviewer stated, this watch is very complex to set. I'm a "techy" and learned to do that. But it's impossible without the manual. Also every other analog chrono resets by pressing a pusher at 4:00 o'clock. But doing that reads 1/10 second. To reset, you must press the start pusher for 2 seconds.
Bought the watch because of it's looks and functions. It's stopped dead twice in five years. I've been told by a jeweler that these watches are only good for five or six years. I expected more than that for a $450 watch.
I bought this watch today at Macy's. It did not come with a manual so I downloaded. Its a beautiful watch. I have yet to figure out how to set time time properly and it seem it needs a reset. It seems too complicated and huge time suck. Thus i am not recommending it and may take it back.
Get this watch if you love titanium. The look and matte finish are top notch. Highly recommend price point is good and it’s just a great watch overall. My biggest gripe is how soft the crystal that comes with this is. It’s very soft and doesn’t scratch easily. Hence why I left less stars. I say this because a $280 dollar watch from citizen came with sapphire. Which to me, having owned many citizen watches is the best way to go. If I could upgrade this watch to sapphire I would. And it would be the perfect daily watch. So, if you are someone who loves titanium watches and uses them outdoors or is rough with them this watch may not be the best. I’d go with a skyhawk instead. The fit finish and look on this watch is what makes me say I’d buy it again. The time was set, and the band sized perfectly. Would definitely recommend getting this (but for dress occasions only)
Very light watch, lighter than i expected, but feels great...!!!
Very nice watch, might be my favorite. Very light, which i love for an every day watch. Crisp look and I like the numbers being not the standard ones to have labeled. Only reason I give it less than 5 stars is it is not easy to switch to different modes to use stop watch or set alarm. Not a huge deal but don't like the single steam pull out, it normally comes out too far.
Beautiful watch, I am very happy with it. The color of the face is blue which is a darker blue than I thought from the pictures but it's very sharp looking. The luminescent hands are bright in less light situations but in the dark of night don"t seem near as bright. I like the titanium watch, bracelet, and color however I do have 2 concerns with the bracelet. First, I wonder how well the clasp will hold up as it can pop open if not securely closed, it would be nice to have some sort of additional safety. Second, the edge of the clasp is fairly sharp, and I have caught it on fabrics occasionally. Other than that Citizen did an excellent job sizing the band for no charge and shipping was fast. There are videos online that walk you through the steps involved with setting the watch and operating the various functions, it's not difficult. I would highly recommend this watch.
Great product, only down fall from my previous Citizen is you have to pull out the dial and rotate to change functions
