This watch ticks all the boxes for me. It is waterproof, has day and date and a metal band. The sapphire crystal is something I got used to on my other high end watch. I work rotating shifts so I never know what day of the week it is. I like the weight of the titanium case and band. I hardly feel it on my wrist. It has been keeping time well. The only "complaint" is that the day of the week changes slowly from midnight till 4 am. Making Sunday red makes it hard to see in lower light levels. The luminous dial is visible all night long which I appreciate. I've always wanted an Eco-drive watch and I'm glad I have this one!
This is an excellent quality watch and reasonably priced. Fits like a glove adjusted to my 6 and 3/4 inch wrist. Low profile on the wrist. Keeps perfect time. Full titanium, sapphire crystal, light weight and never needs a battery. I wear this watch all day, every day. When adjusting the watchband, remember to reinstall the very small friction collars with the watchband pins.
Greats everyday watch. Light weight and comfortable. No crown issues so far. It also looks good with a red strap!
I picked the Garrison titanium because of its light weight, large easy to read dial, eco drive, and quality glass. Now that I’ve lived with it on for a few weeks and subjected it to daily light construction abuse I’m satisfied with my purchase. My only disappointment is that the Lume isn’t bright enough throughout the night for me to read the watch on the side table in the wee hours. If this watch had tritium tubes it would be absolutely epic.
Bought this as a replacement for my 20 year old Garrison (the smaller one with the white day/date). Wanted the sapphire crystal because the mineral crystal on my old one has become heavily scratched over the years and I’m hoping the sapphire will hold up a bit better - which was basically the only reason I didn’t get an identical replacement for my old Garrison. Overall the watch is very nice, but I’m not a fan of the larger size, I wish the lume was more white and less yellow, and my biggest complaint is that the day/date indicator is awful. The use of very thin lettering on a black background makes it nearly impossible to read at a glance and/or distance. My old one used black letters on a white background and that was perfect - legible at a glance and in nearly all conditions. Not sure why Citizen didn’t use that on this model because it is far far superior to the day/date display on this watch. Another minor criticism is the limited amount of fine adjustment on the metal band clasp, more would be better, and I couldn’t get a comfortable fit so I just ended up replacing it with a silicone strap.
It is keeping perfect time, it's light-weight and comfortable. The dial is easy to read and I like the sweep second hand and the day-date feature.
I set this watch to my phone's clock about a month ago and it's still keeping within about a half-second. It looks great on my wrist (8.5") with the classic aviator look. The numbers are easy to read. Don't expect much from the lume, but it does exist. :-) My 12yo son picked it up and said it felt cheap to him because it was so light. That's titanium for you... But I love the fact that it's that light! Being able to customize the length of the bracelet was invaluable to me. I will definitely be coming back!

Great watch. Just wish the crown would screw in to secure it
I've owned this watch over a year now and have worn it everyday. It has taken several hard licks but only the case shows small scratches, none on the glass. Love the light weight and readability of the dial. Bracelet was great but not to my taste so I replaced it with a nato. Accuracy on mine is +1 sec in 10 days.
I have been a satisfied Eco-Drive owner since 2008. This Garrison is the ninth Eco-Drive in my collection and it is definitely one of my favorites. I have become a fan of field watches and this does that style really well. It's easy to read and extremely light on the wrist coming in at only 84 grams, sized for my 7 1/4" wrist. I'm glad for the sapphire crystal but wish the crown was screw down to support the 100M water resistance. All markers are fully lumed and I would rate the intensity of the lume as good but not great.
Good quality, light weight, easy to maintain, nicely designed, I wish the date day window can be little bit bigger for easier observation.
It is a beautiful watch. Great look and easy to set

Was looking for a nice watch that's versatile, easy to read, and can be dressed up or down. The Garrison fits the bill quite nicely. Very happy to have added it to my modest collection.
Excellent shopping experience with the web-site. I received my watch fast. Exactly what I ordered. Today I wore my Citizen watch snorkeling in the Gulf of America, works great. Looks great. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you team Citizen.

A very nice watch, fit a nd finish are top notch.
I have never been a guy that wears a watch. Over fifty now and recently started having to wear eye glasses. So I thought I would complete the look 😆. This watch is Great. Nice and light. I would hate to know what it’s like with stainless. Also just the basics. Like the no shine look of the Titanium too

First Citizen watch and I couldn't be happier.
This was a gift from my wife. It's an extremely accurate and nice looking watch. Two things make it less than perfect. 1-The lum is not very bright and doesn't last long enough. In my mind there's simply no reason for this and it is by far my biggest complaint. 2-The day / date display is too small. Otherwise the size is just right for me and it's very light weight. Adding a glass crystal protector makes it very durable too. I've not had any issues with the crown as others have noted. So close to perfect...
