I bought this watch a year ago. It was the first watch I bought in many years. My first reaction was that it was too big so I bought a smaller one from Brand S. I wore this Citizen off and on and as time went on I liked it more. My favorite aspects are how the bright parts catch the light (sides of Hour markers, bezel, outline of hands, and bright trim on bracelet). I also like with light weight and how well the sapphire crystal holds up. The watch gets a lot more wrist time now and it got me started in a new hobby collecting watches. It's still larger than I would like so I hope Citizen starts making more watches around 38mm.
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.
Other than the calendar date being very small, an outstanding, comfortable, attractive wristwatch.
