Garrison review.

Like my new Garrison a lot. Other reviews I read before purchasing were pretty accurate. Great watch, not a great band. Too stiff and the holes are too far apart. With my wrist size the watch is never centered on my wrist it seems. Also the lume is great at first but doesn't last long enough. Tritium is pretty common now so that would be a good update. With that said, I like the looks a lot. Just need a new NATO strap and I'll be good. This is my third Citizen, first was a gift from my future wife on our first Christmas dating in 1980. Still working. I have a soft spot for Citizen. They used to say "There is no average Citizen. Thanks

Beautiful face but don’t like the band

I love the face of this watch and the date display it is a good size not too big not too small. But the band is terrible I hate band I hate the metal grommets it doesn’t let you dial in the wrist size I am between two notches so it is either slightly too loose or too tight the nylon is fine. It isn’t a huge deal because I am just going to replace the bad with something else.

Not really masculine

The watch itself works and is fine i guess, but the band is so thin and much smaller on the wrist than the picture indicates. it gives off a strong feminine asthetic when worn by a man with strong forearms

loved the watch although the band was a little too stiff.

Easy process to order. Received in a few days. I like the eco drive feature very much. It would be nice if the day/date was a little larger. But, all in all I am very happy with the watch.

Nice watch... tiny band

Perfect watch. The band is way too small.

Solid watch

Purchased this watch as a gift. The watch is solid, just not sure about how well the band will hold up. It would be nice to have an option for a different band option.

Review of Citizen Eco Drive Garrison watch

This is the only watch I'll ever own. Second purchase as I lost my first during a recent hospital stay. I've had my watch totally covered from any light for months at a time during winter. For many years, I've dropped it, soaked it dropped it in farm manure, snapped it loose on fencing and no problem. Love this product and if need be, will purchase again. Tom Moore

Good utility/outdoor watch

The Garrison Solar Field watch is a good choice for a utility or outdoor watch. Reasonably priced, does not require a battery replacement every few years, is waterproof to 100M and comes with a five-year warranty.

Love watch - strap not so much

I bought this watch for my first experience with Echo-drive, and am happy with that functionality. Not crazy about the stiff strap - replacement coming.
