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

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...
The watch is light and right. It tells time flawlessly. However, the calendar fonts are almost unreadable at a quick glance due to the black background and fonts used. You have to focus to read.
