i bought this not too long ago and it has been amazing so far. It's so beautiful to look at, i once accidentally hit it on our marble counter, and the watch looked unbothered and unscratched. The titanium material never gave me any skin irritation (as compared to other watch bands) and it's very light weight. It doesn't look as blue as in the picture (it looks black most of the time) and i'm really happy about this eco drive technology. The only very small problem is, is that the second hand is not super aligned (like only 1/4 a millimetre off) but it's not something unless you carefully look at it.
I bought this watch in December 2012 and it is still working perfectly. I wore it daily up until 2019 but now I mostly wear my garmin running watch all the time. After wearing the citizen daily in some pretty hard working environments I can say that the sapphire crystal is the way to go. The glass doesn't have a single scratch in it after almost 10 years. The titanium is actually scratched and scuffed but the glass is as clear as the day I got it.
I needed a watch that impressed my eye and held up to an active lifestyle. The more I wear this, the more I admire it. Great choice in a watch.
Great watch...absolutely love it...light and also durable.
Perfect fit for me. It is lightweight, easy to read, good for all settings (office, casual, dress). I love the dark blue face and luminous hands. Also the time accuracy is very precise (to the second).
Well designed as compared to some others; the design of the band and watch case flow together. I considered other Citizen Watches; did not choose because they were a "band" and a watch. One watch has a center "butterfly" clasp; I would have liked that with my Paradigm.
One week of use.. Fits nicely, looks good. I am older, so my expectations of "nice" on a watch were set in 80's, 90's- I wish its dial was a bit smaller, and its body was thinner. I thought of dropping this to 4 stars, but that felt unfair, I bought knowing this might be my feelings. After wearing I decided to send in my old ~2000 era citizen for repair to get slightly lighter, thinner, smaller. That said, like my prior Citizen watches, this is a good watch. I have worn nothing but Citzen Eco Drive since ~1997. Not sure if they are best, but I love "eco" story, and have been satisfied so far.
It’s a very light timepiece. Citizen sized it to my specs and it fits perfectly. I’m looking forward to years of accurate service. If I wished for anything to be different, it would be a larger date window. Old eyes would be grateful.
The watch is beautiful. It was too tight on my wrist as it came so I added a link. The clasp doesn't micro adjust. Now it is too loose. Unfortunately when I called Citizen I found out that a half link or adjustable clasp isn't available for the Paradigm.
Model #BM7431-51L Paradigm super titanium =Very nice watch.
