A great everyday watch!

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!

Excellent Quality Full Titanium Sapphire Eco Drive Watch

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.

Almost perfect

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...

Citizen Garrison watch BM8560-53E

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.

Scratched links; no protective wrap: used watch?

I ordered directly from Citizen so I could have the watch sized, and this cost more than buying the watch elsewhere. What I received was a previously worn watch that was improperly sized. 1. There was no protective wrap on the watch. I've purchased new Citizen watches from dealers, and they always have protective plastic wrapping the band and watch. This watch was very obviously previously owned. 2. There are very obvious scratches on the edge and backside of two links. The person who owned the watch previously obviously did a ham-fisted job of adding links. Or is this damage from someone at Citizen doing the sizing that I ordered? Equally worrisome no matter what. 3. The watch was not sized correctly. I carefully measured my wrist using the sizing guide printed from the website. However, the watch came almost two links too large. I removed a link and used clicked it in one click on the fit adjuster. It's ok now. I will keep the watch because the scratches will not necessarily be visible, but it is a serious concern to order from here again. Either I'm getting pre-owned stock or the folks doing the sizing are not taking even the minimum amount of care in the work.

Crown hits my wrist bones on the left hand.

Watch meets what I was looking for, very light and easy to read (except the date is difficult for older eyes -1 star and is too recessed making it even harder to read). The next star off was due to the protruding crown. When wearing this on the left side and not being extremely tight it will come down hit your wrist bones which is annoying so much I switched it to my right side. It would be nice to have an option for the crown to face towards elbow for left hand wearing watch people (maybe two versions). I can move it to my right wrist to prevent the crown from causing this issue, but it's seems unnatural to me to wear it on the right side.

Accurate watch

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.

Crown doesn't lock

No crown locking. Crown pops out and changes time a couple of times daily. I am so disappointed as I love everything else. ;'(

The perfect quality watch

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.
