You know I chose the Citizen watch for the quality, I was not disappointed. I wear it everyday to work. I am a nurse and absolutely love the practicality of my piece, the look, and the quality.
Great watch. Throw back to my former military days. Has the day of the week in English and Spanish (you select which one to display). This was a surprise.
I just received this watch today. I love the styling and simplicity. I will wear watch as my work watch and keep my other Citizen watch for dress occasion. If this one gets scratched I will still be upset but not as much as if my dress watch gets scratched.
My girlfriend bought me this watch for Christmas several years ago. I think she was tired of me wearing another Citizen that my ex had gotten me for our son’s first Christmas lol. I am a welder by trade and do most of our vehicle maintenance and repairs myself as well as handyman duties for ourselves and several family members. When I say I’m hard on something like a wristwatch I’m putting in mildly at best. This watch especially has given me no problems whatsoever, if you work for a living and need a tough reliable timepiece this is the one for you. Best on the market for the price.
I purchased one of these watches at a military exchange at least 16 years ago in 2006 . It fits great and keeps time like a champ. It was my first Citizen's Eco-Drive. I was skeptical at first; however, I have been very impressed with this watch. The only issue is that the first band wore out after 5 years. Obviously, I bought a new band and another Eco-Drive model; and, I am keeping my Garrison model because it has been so dependable and comfortable. If you're looking for a good military style watch that does not cost a fortune, then this model is the watch for you. Oh yeah, it does not get in the way of long sleeve shirts.
I am absolutely happy with this watch. I wear daily with no issues. Love the solar tech so no worries on batteries. This is a simple watch that states alot about the person wearing it.
Don't get the gripes about the band at all. Crazy comfortable, can barely feel I'm wearing it, looks dope. Amazing value. Could easily sell probably 90% as many units at 2x the price, so this is a crazy deal.
Didn't work out for me . Used it daily and Kept loosing time I even tried leaving it on the counter by a window a couple times hoping for the battery to fully charge and it kept doing the same thing over and over.
I have been wearing my new Garrison daily for a little over a week and am very pleased with it. It was super easy to setup and so far has kept perfect time. My only complaint is that the band is either too lose or to tight on me. The grommets have zero give. I'm hoping by wearing it tight it will stretch a little because it looks good. A new band would be easy and inexpensive to replace, if necessary.
I love this watch. It's beautiful, it's simple, it's accurate and it's going to be my favorite for a long time.
