love this watch searched for a while before I bought it, but in 2 years I have had 2 straps which is not acceptable!! luckily the both times the strap failed I managed to catch the watch. At £60 for a genuine replacement its not on. Im currently trying to locate a metal strap.
20 Times a day I'm reminded to adjust the strap holders ans they slide down off the band. I purchased a nylon strap to replace the band only to discover the watch has a proprietary band. And I will have to use a Dremel tool to grind down the watch. This is not an option as I will not to that to a new watch. Do not buy this watch unless you can be satisfied with the band.
Bought this watch about a year ago. The only complaint is the Polyurethane band its way to thin, making the watch feel to top heavy. They should have used the same rubber band as my Cit zen Blue Orca (which is still running strong). Citizen needs to give us more options as far as watch bands are concerned. But I do still love the style of this watch
While I was relieved it was not nearly complicated to set as my other eco-drive, that means no additional features. The band loops do not stay in place to seat the extra band length, and it doesn't look like it is anywhere close to 48mm like advertised. I had returned an aqualand 2000 for too SHORT of a band, and the case was NOWHERE near the advertised 52mm. Again probably 44. These are not expensive watches but they aren't cheap. They are high enough that there should not be a disconnect on function, sizing standards, and advertising truth between the models. I compare the case size against my nicer watches, Breitling and Rolex which I hesitate to wear to my extremely physical job. I suppose my standards are too high. I doubt I would purchase another Citizen. Looks like they are consistently all talk, and no delivery
