I bought this watch, i like the styling, you cant see the all black face and dial unless it's in direct sunlight.
I got the watch as a bday present from my wife. I have always thought Citizen was a premier brand and have always been happy with the ones I have owned. Not so with this one. Shortly after I started wearing it I noticed a small chip in the crystal. I was amazed and very disappointed being that I had done nothing to chip it. I only wore it when I dressed up. I returned it to the store and received another one just like it. The second one developed a chip in the same spot on the crystal as first with the same kind of wear. The store would not refund my money and I have to wait for the second watch to be repaired.
I bought my watch about a month ago now. Its by far the best watch, I have ever owned. Love the fact that the watch recharges with any type of light. Its fashionable. Looks great with anything I wear. Including work wear.
All the hands on the watch are so black that you cant differentiate them between the background. Pretty importamnt to see the second hand on a 911 call (for you paramedics out there) when there's less than 100% light.
