I like the watch, but I had to file the edges of the bracelet with a file. It was sharp and has cut into my wrist. It is pity, that this detail was not observed and solved by manufacturer.
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.
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.
Fast and reliable service. I'm 6' 3" tall and have a larger than average wrist circumference. I love the option that you can choose your wrist size for the band when ordering a watch. The convenience of this option cannot be overstated. if you order the same watch from a site like Amazon or similar, a one size fits all band is sent attached to the watch. If the watch doesn't fit, you need to take it to a watch repair shop and have links either added or removed. If band links need to be added, that's another additional cost. Citizen includes this service in the price of their watch.
