Had this for about 5~7years still working keeping the time very accurate. Haven’t had any maintenance. went through ocean and waterfalls, hiking and everyday use for about 3years. This watch is pretty much my starter of watch collection. Fell in love with the unique black dial. And yes the band sucks really bad but watch is tough and good looking. I put it as 4 stars because of the band. If anything just get a S/S bracelet it doesn’t look bad at all but tough to find the right one. 22mm or 24mm forgot which one.
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
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.
i wear this all the time because it's my favorite. my relatives and friends loved it too.
