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
I purchased this watch out of country on a cruise before it was released in the USA so I have had it sense 2015. I love it and have worn it off and on for long periods of time sense then. I have only ever owned one other citizen in my life and it was passed down to me from my grandfather who purchased it over 50 years ago. I have to say that this watch shines more in the water then in any other place. At 66ft this watch is amazing and has withstood countless dives. I will say this however. It’s built like a tank. I may never have a need to replace it so sorry to citizen because I just can’t kill it which means you won’t see me buying another one anytime soon. The band is great when wet and stays put very well. It is also a great piece to wear to the office as well because it’s has just enough elegance to it that it doesn’t feel like a sports watch. I can’t say enough about it. It’s just down right amazing
