As I already said on Twitter, this is the first and last Citizen I will purchase. I had high hopes that this would be my new ‘go to’ but whoever designed the date/time setting method should find something else to do.
The watch has a lot of great features, ECO drive, perpetual calendar, it's titanium construction make it a pleasure to wear. I agree with other reviewers a "quick access to the stop function" would be a plus. The access and operations of all functions is easy and logical. I recommend to watch the video on the Citizen website and you will get the just of it in no time. I own this watch now for 4 weeks.
I’ve always wanted an eco-drive and finally pulled the trigger. This is a great looking watch and as stated it is very light and comfortable to wear. It is pretty difficult to initially setup but I watched some YouTube videos and made it happen. Looking forward to purchasing more Eco-drive models.
Beautiful watch. Excellent contrast between the platinum and blue dial. Citizen has a way of making simple, yet, elegant pieces that stand the test of time. If you're looking to gift this to someone, if it were me, I'd be thankful to have received it.
Light weight and really comfortable. It's easy to read in low light even when the lume fades.

I have been a Citizen watch user for decades, including the dive watch to depths greater than 100 feet. All functioned well, but suffered from defective watchband pins. Also the instructions for resetting were complicated. This watch seems to be "set it and forget it" with a simple setting mechanism and perpetual calendar. Being solar powered, it needs no maintenance. Pending the watchband separating, I would rate this as one of the best watches I have owned
This is a great watch and very lightweight. Probably won't use all the features but it is nice and feels nice on my wrist. I notice Citizen doesn't include paper instructions. Not sure how I feel about it.
I brought this I watch a few days ago, and I am very satisfied with this watch. It fills all my needs. R. M. Purrinson
This is my first decent watch & I'm glad I chose it because it's the perfect amount of style mixed with function, which makes it a nice all rounder for me. I've always been interested in titanium so having a watch made out of it is really cool too.
I really like this watch. Very light due to the titanium construction and low profile. Large numbers make it easy to read.
My new EDC and favorite watch. It's comfortable, looks good and keeps excellent time.
this is my second Citizen Eco Drive perpectular calander, first one about 17 yrs ago and still runs wonderfully. purchased this one on the island of St Thomas in Dec 2022 after a few days the hour hand stopped moving for some reason. Sent the watch to Citizen in California, and a couple wks later recieved it back. works wonderfully thank you Citizen. will buy again.
Six months ago I splurged and bought this watch. I had been looking for a watch that did not require batteries, titanium case and band, and had an excellent movement that kept accurate time. Let me tell you, this watch does that and more. My only complaint is that it is a little more complicated to get everything set up the first time...but there are several YouTubers out there that explain it perfectly. My wife says I have a problem...this was watch 18 in my collection and my third Citizen. Time keeping I would easily put it in the same category as any of my much more expensive watches, and durability is only second to my Bremont, that is a military grade timepiece.
So, I bought this watch about 4 months ago from the website and wanted to wait to do the review. Except for having to watch the videos to set the watch up, I'm very happy with the Brycen. Easy to read, light weight, and very durable, it's definitely one of my favorite watches. It will be spending more time on my wrist than in my watch case.
Complete package in titanium with all the great features EXCEPT: radio controlled. No more calendar fussing four times a year; keeps correct time down to seconds per month and strikingly good looks with midnight blue and titanium
