Like the watch: however, I would prefer the day indication in English rather than Spanish. I don't speak Spanish. I ordered the watch and have always lived in the USA. I would like to change the day indicator to English if possible.

"What does a wife get for her husband's birthday? and I'm running out of time".. Yup that me talking out loud... That's right, I talk to myself while strolling through shops, shopping for 'The Gift'... About to call it a day, I check my watch knowing it quietly keeps perfect time... That's when my brain clicked in gear - 'My Citizen keeps perfect time - Eco-Drive just keeps tick-tick-tick'n'...Hey! The Husband, my sweetheart, put this totally fantastic watch on my wrist!" - I know I'm thinking the same thinking: 'where's this Gal's go'n with this review? I know, you know how memories are? Holy Merd, it's been eight (8) months, takes a minute or two, remembering and writing a true review - Woosh! Life, you live it. You watch the time, it goes slow, you live it, time goes by fast. Anyway, I realized I've stopped walking, do the check the 'Mall' compass and realize that I'm looking through a store front window displaying Men's Citizen watches. And it's registered for Certified Citizen's watch repair, and jewelry? I'm in! Huh, I swear timing is everything. Yup, you guessed it... My Husband loves his Citizen Weekender Garrison Field Watch! I actually surprised him, and he loves the watch! I love him. So, he wears the watch 24/7 for over a week, we're talking surfing; swimming, more surfing, showering etcetera, a Harley ride or three; life is good. Then, he mentions that he'd like to change out the watchband. He'd like the same but a longer strap, the Man knows what he wants (I like that) - fine by me - I've done the same thing many times. Sometime later that week, we hit the Mall, destination is the Citizen store. Okay. The store clerk helps (NOT!) as she states there's no option. WTH? There is NO other band. I was about to wind her clock, ring her bell...Oh wait a second, that was then, this is now. The main event here is to praise Citizens fine workmanship. The Men's Eco-Drive Weekender Garrison Field Watch in Stainless Steel is not only a handsome watch, but also a beauty. I highly recommend this watch. That beauty is what brought me to the Citizen.com site. First to leave a fun review; to let Citizen know how cool the watch is and knowing when it's time to stop wasting time. I have faith there's a watchband that fits the bezel size and my Husbands wrist size. It's been keeping time sitting in the box in-between Eco-Drive Sunbaths. Maybe I'll not find a wristband (doubtful that I won't succeed) ... I will take the time, because like a Citizen watch... I too am a Citizen, one that stays in style as style is absolutely timeless. Did I mention I love Citizen watches? The Eco-Drive just is sweet.... I almost forget a certain Taghuer - Almost. Did I forgot to mention that I just love watches. Give me hands that tell time...Lovely. Digital? Thats for the cash register - Cha-ching! Ciao for now ~
It could come with more color options and some clear instructions in the packaging. But otherwise absolutely perfect
Had this watch for about 6 months now and I’m so glad I bought it. Perfect everyday watch, that fits all my needs. Initially I considered getting a new strap based off of other reviews I read but ended up keeping it and had no issues. Overall comfortable wear for a good price.
Just what I wanted in a daily wear watch. The strap is stiff and noisy, but that will become better through use.
I think the watch will be a great thing. I do wish the band were softer from the start. I realize it will 'break in'.
This watch is easy to read with clear numbers and an uncluttered dial. While the lume is legible, it could be a bit brighter. I replaced the band with a basic NATO strap almost immediately as the standard strap is stiff and uncomfortable. With a NATO strap, the watch is comfortable to wear all day. Overall, a great everyday watch.
This watch has been amazing. I bought it for a deployment to Afghanistan because I hated batteries going out before coming home. It's been going for 11 years beyond. Best part of its life is that while swimming in lake In Texas my dog pawed at me and broke band and watch disappeared in about 7 feet of water. 6 months of drought later walking with my wife and she says, "found your watch!" One hour off from time change and band pretty gnarly but time was on the minute. Today it stops from time to time and I'm told the capacitor (rechargeable battery?) might need replacement. I think if I could pick one watch on a survival show this would be it.
I love this watch! Switched the strap out for a jubilee and is my everyday watch. Keeps on ticking and a personal favorite.
