It's a workhorse

I bought this when it first came out. I think it was 2007. This was recommended to me by the watch store to replace my dead watch. For the most part, I've had very little trouble, if any with it. The only maintenance that has been done is to send it back for a new internal battery and new strap. (side note, don't buy straps from citizen! They are $$$$.) I'm not replacing the strap for a 2nd time going to my 3rd one. I'm going 3rd party now Otherwise than that I love the watch. It keeps great time and can be worn in the shower without any issues.

Tough watch

I was looking for something classy yet durable and reliable this watch definitely stands up to the test. I am a firefighter/ems provider and its stands up to the test.

Great Watch on the Job or Around the House

My actual rating would be 4.5 -- Only because of the unsat wrist band. I regularly rotate four Citizen watches: Two with the legendary F150 (GPS) movement, one Promaster Skyhawk Titanium, and this Chandler. One you replace the "stylish" but stock clunky wrist band with a good quality NATO style band (i.e. Barton), you've got a smaller, thinner watch that keeps good time and doesn't get in the way. A NATO band gives you the security of two spring bars, so the likelihood of loosing it is pretty low. This is the watch I wear working in the yard, pounding nails, paddling my kayak, etc. There is definitely no bling to this watch, which is one of the main reasons I like it -- nothing that visually gets in the way of telling time.

Can't set day of the week. Sudden failure.

This watch has always been difficult to set. Could never find the correct crown position. Today noticed the day of the week is wrong. Date of the month works. Day of the wee won't change. Out of warranty.
