Great detail

The watch is greatly detailed and a must for any Vader fan the only down point is why 4 stars is because it doesn’t have illumination even though the hands do loom at night. The ion plating is tough and durable and the watch is robust. A nice piece really received as a gift from the wife.

Fantastic watch with a couple flaws

I love this watch. The color is understated, the design is subtle, but clearly Star Wars if not so clearly Darth Vader, and if you like the Dark Side, you'll love the watch. The build quality and finish is excellent, and the sizing options on it allow for the best fit in a Citizen watch that I've owned. I dislike large watches and this one is nearly perfectly sized. The weight is not too heavy for a metal watch either, and it does not stick too far up from my hand. On some watches, the setting post press into my wrist too much, but this one does not. The only two things I disliked about the watch were: 1) the lume is not very bright; in fact it's so dim, it might as well not have this feature. Other reviewers noted the same thing, so I knew this going into it. 2) the second hand only moves every two seconds, not every one second like basically every other watch ever. Not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but it's pretty annoying. Regardless, I love the watch and would purchase Citizen again. The Eco Drive watches are great, and the Citizen customer service is solid.

A nice watch, but not the the best

I got this watch about a week ago, and this is my impression so far. I have to say that I also have a Citizen super-titanium (CA0350-51) for a few years now so I can compare between the two. First of all, what I like the most about this watch is its size, 41mm. This is of course individual, but at least for me, it's the perfect size. My other watch is I think 43mm, which is also OK but slightly big. What I also like in this watch is the bracelet. This gray bracelet is beautiful and special. I don't think I've ever seen a bracelet in this color and it also plays a bit with light, which is nice. The design - the design is cool yet very elegant, but it has a few flaws - The second hand is so thin and red on black, so it's sometimes difficult to notice it. The bad - The lume is terrible to almost non existent, which is a shame since it is a nice feature. You can barely see the hands at dark, they just have a very weak glow and it's only hands that has very little bit of lume, the rest of the dial is completely dark, so this is a bit disappointed to me, especially since the lume on the Death Star looked good on video and the lume in my super-titanium is excellent. The second hand is really thin, and difficult to notice on the black background, if the light is weak. So, it's a nice and unique watch, limited edition, Sapphire, eco-drive and yet, I expected more, especially more lume.
