Really nice watch, and nice-looking. Fits well even on a fairly slim wrist. I was surprised that only the hands glow; the hour marks do not. Also, the second hand does not line up with the marks on the watch face. This is a minor gripe, but I expected better -- my cheap old Timex hits the marks precisely and I would have expected the same from Citizen.
Very classy. Like it a lot and it suits most outfits,
This is an attraftive watch. The band is fairly easy to attach, and the stainless body is not bulky. The front lens does not have much anti-reflective treatment, if any exists at all. Accuracy is great, I estimate at within 5-7 seconds per month. HOWEVER, my watch failed twice within ten days. It was charged in window light for a couple days as recommended. BUT after wearing for a few days outdoors, then placing the watch down off the wrist, the watch would mysteriously run down its charge and start going slow. It would lose 75 minutes over the next three days AFTER being charged up, then worn. When "rested" the watch was sitting in room light only. This leads me to believe the battery was defective and losing its "6-month" charge rapidly. Returned. Citizen was efficient and fair in giving up a 100% refund. Will try another....
Just purchased this watch. It’s handsome and stylish. The only problem is the date is too small
Throwback to my military days. Larger face, better leather band, all around just a great watch which does it’s primary purpose - tell accurate time and nostalgic as well.
I have admired this watch for sometime. It was given to me as a belated Father's day gift. I always love the concept of 24 hour time keeping. If this watch is redesigned, Citizen should present larger 24 hour numerals only. Second the numbers should glow in addition to the hands.
I got this watch about 1.5 years ago and I'm very pleased with it. I wear it 3 or 4 days out of the week, rotate it with another daily Great movement, accurate, easy to read, stylish and durable. I wear it to work sometimes and I use my hands a lot for my work. Holds up great all day. Get the right strap and it could be a good beater! My gripe is the lume (weak) date (small and have to squint to read it) and the manufacturers strap was too thick. For you thick wrist men, you may not like it. I thick a thinner strap. All in all, a great watch!
Great watch; my second Citizen purchase. My original purchase, from 12 years ago, still works great.

Gift from my father that I’ve worn every day for 2 years- hiking, manual labor, etc. and it barely has any scratches. Looks classy and made to last.
I love that the watch has the eco drive technology in it, it’s the main reason I purchased the watch. The numbers are very easy to read. However the numbers for the date is very tiny. Only the big and little hand glow in the dark so you can’t really get an accurate time. And my wrist is pretty small (it’s on the 4th hole) and the leather strap is very stiff and uncomfortable, hopefully it softens up.
