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.
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 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.
Bought this watch 9 years ago I think. It still look very good! Price has bumped a bit too.... lol! Bumped it a lot on walls and different things, many scratches on the case and bracelet because I've been rough on it. But still NO scratch on the crystal because its Saphyre, pretty impressive! This watch has a very versatile look, I still love it a lot even with the scratches on case because it's indestructible!
