Second time around

I gave this watch to my wife over a year ago. She loved the look and the fact that it never would need a battery as light powered it. One day after taking it off for a massage she was upset that she had lost it. She loved that watch. Feeling her panic and unbeknownst to her I ordered her another to replace it. Once again a smile came to her face.

Fantastic watch

Never needs a battery. Keeps time. Looks great. I wear mine every day. Yes, you'll want to swap out the band. Just get a nice cheap nato band and youll be happy. great gift for a young person who cant afford to replace a battery.

Good value

Very good value. This is my second watch in this model, first one is still going strong after many years and is now my construction work watch and the new one is my dress watch. It has the simple and classic look I like and the size is just right for me. Looks good with the green band or a replacement leather as well. If you’re in this price range like I am and like the looks of this watch it would be a great purchase.

Great piece! With the day and date :)

Great watch! Wear it much more than my more expensive pieces. Didn't love the band though, so swapped it out for an olive Crown & Buckle NATO strap and it's perfect.

It's what I was looking for

The watch is great, much lighter then I expected. I wanted something very minimal for work and outdoors and this does a great job. I like the canvas strap. It helps with humid areas. The basic face with day of week and month is an excellent addition and the eco drive means it should run for a very long time

Perfect watch!

I was looking for an all-around watch that had a day/date function and would hold up to the elements. I have gone through multiple watches, a Hamilton Khaki, a Victorinox Maverick, a Seiko field watch and a Fossil watch. I finally stumbled upon this Citizen Chandler field watch and what a great piece of workmanship. I use heavy equipment that vibrates my hands and arms and all the other watches I mentioned were a bit on the heavy side. The Citizen Chandler is perfect. Lightweight and comfortable, this watch has stood up to all the vibrations from the equipment, has been through the mud, the rocks, the heat, humidity, and all that the weather can throw at it and it still performs and looks great. I can’t think of a more perfect watch! It is very easy to read and the lume is amazing at night; lasting until daylight. Forget all the smartwatches with all their bells and whistles along with constant charging. No battery needed here, just a light source. You will not be disappointed in this watch.

Met all expectations.

Luckily I found this watch which is a replacement for a lost automatic watch. Perfect size, 38mm, for a smaller wrist. Has maintained the charge, I do not even think about it, although it is on my wrist 24/7. The black face and large white numerals and hands offer a nice easily read contrast. Some dislike the band, I found it worked great for me. The military look is casual. I have a black leather band which is easy enough to change out if going out on the town. Did I say it was perfect, no, but close enough.

Cant kill it

Bought one 16 years ago and it still works perfect. Runs about 5 secs fast a month but who cares? I paid $80 for it in 2005 and have worn it daily since. I dont wear it in water and when I go on vacation I take a $30 sport watch. I think as watches age the rated water resistance may fade and Its not worth chancing.I have spent more in watch bands than I paid for it thats for sure. Had two close calls losing it when I used to reuse the watchband pins.No more.Great watch ,and if it dies I will purchase another.

Stiff band, weird second hand

The watch face is exactly the size I was looking for, with easy-to-read numbers, and the band is the perfect length for me--I'm a woman who apparently has larger than average wrist bones and while I do wear women's watches, I usually have to use the last or second-to-last hole, which I don't like. I wear this one on the middle of the 7 holes, which is on the loose side and very comfortable. That said, the band itself is SUPER STIFF and super difficult to buckle and especially unbuckle, which is exacerbated by the grommets getting caught while attempting to slide them past the band's guide loops. Perhaps it will become more flexible with use--we'll see. The other problem, or at least oddity, is the second hand jumps two seconds with each tick: long pause, jump, long pause, jump. I don't know if it's supposed to do this, but it's weird--you can't use the second hand for timing, etc. So why have it???
