Spartan Watch For Police

Bought this watch from a jewelry shop near me at the time back in 2017. This watch has been hit, scratched, banged about on Police Patrol! Yes, the strap got wet and rotted away after 1 year but hey, easily replaced by a "slip through nylon NATO strap"-no big deal. Retired with a newly purchased "thin blue line watch" making my "banged up vet" a back up. After all that abuse? This watch still keeps accurate time=Battle scrapes scratches and all! Wish I'd citizen sooner! A truly spartan watch! Sure wish Citizen would improve her "glow in the dark" features on all her watches but-that's what flashlights are for.

Took A Shock And Shook It Off. Exceptional Value

I purchased this watch to replace one of the same model purchased back in 2005. On two occasions that one had lost time for reasons I couldn't identify. It had otherwise been a superb watch. Kept much better time than a submariner Rolex (which I sold because the Citizen performed better). It was also tough. On one occasion I shorted out a buss bar, carrying 500+ amps from boat batteries. Left burn marks on the case, the band, and my wrist, but the watch never missed a beat. Remarkable for a complex electric watch.

Handsome, well made and glow in dark hands/numbers

This is my second Eco Drive (also have a Corso which I wear for dress up-simple and elegant), this is for work. The Eco Drive means it charges from any light source, has a stainless steel body and I absolutely love the glow in the dark hands and numbers. I would definitely buy this again.

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.

Decent watch.

I bought this about a month ago. It is a good looking watch and is comfortable; Not too big and not too heavy. I am disappointed in that it loses time rather quickly. I'm seeing a 1-2sec time loss over a day or two. My $49 smart watch keeps better time. The time loss is not terrible, but for a product like a Citizen watch that supposedly represents quality, it's not what I hoped for or expected.
