A Comparison with my Old Watch

I have been using this watch for one month now. My previous watch, which lasted 30+ years, was a Seiko which was thinner and lighter. The Seiko luminescence was mostly gone after 30+ years and the day part of the day/date function stopped working but, the watch was still accurate to 10 seconds a year. This new watch has barely more luminescence than the Seiko after 30 years. I fully charged the battery when I got this watch so I am waiting to see how long it lasts without specially charging it. I actually find I prefer the known 3-4 year battery life than having to get my watch environmentally charged (I wear it 24 hours). The accuracy is within limits (loses 8 seconds a month). The watch is also bulkier than the Seiko. Seems like a decent watch but honestly, I wish I'd gotten the Seiko. Smaller, lighter, more luminescence and better accuracy (after 30+ years' experience of daily use 24/7).

Very heavy for titanium watch

The watch is nice looking and comfortable but considerably heaver than other titanium citizen watch I have. I didn’t expect it to be as heavy as it is.

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.

Couldn't be happier!

As pointed out by others, the anti-reflective coating on the sapphire glass could be better and the face could be more readable in dim light. The lume is bright initially but dims very quickly. But I knew these things going in and they were not deal breakers because the overall value and quality of this watch are outstanding. Well worth the price for the excellent features that you get. Awesome job Citizen. I absolutely love wearing this watch.
