The Garrison, so far, has proven to be durable, reliable and, simply an attractive watch. This is my second Citizen purchase and I'm extremely happy with that one as well.
I was looking for a great easily readable attractive field watch. I came across the Citizen Garrison with the blue dial. It’s beautiful! It keeps amazingly accurate time. I’ve worn it biking and day to day. The leather band will get stinky and gross overtime, especially if you sweat while wearing it a lot. I bought a Nato strap for it and wow! I’m loving this combo. It has a great look and feel to it. Highly recommend this watch. Just keep in mind the leather band will get gnarly over time.
I really like the way the watch looks, the numbers stand out against the blue face so very easy to read. The leather band is a little stiff, so the watch tends to rotate off to the side of my wrist a bit during the day, but I think that should improve as the leather breaks in over time. Completely quiet watch. I wish it came with a sapphire crystal, but otherwise I am very happy with this purchase.
