This watch has a classic and updated look - very nice. I like that it is lighter than some of the automatic watches I have. It keeps great time.
I just received the watch today, 9-15-23. Here is what I hope is some helpful information: -It came in the scuba tank, not the Pelican-type box as shown. -It is actually quite a bit lighter than I expected. -The band does not have the dive tables on it. Outstanding, even though I dive. -I have a 7 1/2” wrist and there is plenty of room with the band. It’s a little stiff, but not terribly so. -The bezel, chapter ring, and seconds hand are in perfect alignment. -I’ve only ever had dive watches with 120 clicks on the bezel. I’m actually liking the 60 clicks. Just a smidge of back play, but no more, and probably less than, another very popular Japanese watch maker, with watches that cost twice as much. I know, because I have several of them. -The anti-reflective coating on the crystal works very well. -I don’t find the bezel as slippery as some others do. -The bezel has a slight ridge along the outside circumference. This will help minimize scratches to both the bezel insert and the crystal. -I have complete confidence in the Eco-Drive, having owned a Ray Mears PMT for several years. Wonderfully accurate and trouble-free. -It might not have the cachet some other dive watches do, but it is a handsome watch, has everything a dive/tool watch needs, and is extremely practical. This is a definite sleeper, and I’m very happy I purchased it.
i have always had a Citizen Watch. When this one came out several years ago I had to have one. And I have been happy with it from day one. Waterproof and no batteries. Also very rugged. Having been in construction for 30+ years can wear out a watch in no time. But, not this one.
I purchased as an addition to my watch collection , for me watch face difficult to manage even with my bifocals on … the date just too small
I be had this watch Best watch I’ve ever owned would highly recommend
Great looking watch. I love it and have gotten quite a few compliments on it.
Pros: I am a fan of eco-drive technology and like that I barely need to think about this watch ever running out of charge. I have no issues with it holding a power reserve, even though I spend most of my time indoors. Though 44mm might seem large on paper, it does not look oversized on my 6.5 inch wrist. Cons: I was not a fan of the rubber strap. It would fit well over a dive suit, but it is a bit long for everyday wear, and it was hard to get a good fit without any micro-adjustment options. It did not transition well to smarter outfits for work. I replaced it with a stainless steel jubilee bracelet and it is perfect. I also wish that the watch had a sapphire crystal. For a watch that is likely to stand the test of time in every other way, this was a shame not to have, and I would have paid extra for it. The bezel is also slightly out of alignment by about 1 or 2 mm, which is barely noticeable but a defect nonetheless. Overall, would buy again. I feel comfortable wearing it everyday in any situation from sports to work.
Best watch I've owned to date. Incredibly reliable, tough and very useful. I love the bezel clicks, very high quality. The lum is fantastic, it literally lasts all night long. I glance at it throughout/early morning and can clearly tell the time with just the lum. I always fin myself choosing this as a daily. The color is gorgeous in the sunlight. For the price, this is one of the highest values you will find. I find it wears small for a 44mm ( I have a 6.5" wrist) and it is extremely comfortable. I use the timer on the bezel for just about everything including baking lol
I was look for a good solid all around watch. This watch fits the requirement and is very smart looking as well. A good value and purchase for an active life style.
Watch has easy to set date and time. The blue face matches the watchband, making the already smartly designed watch look very high end. The illuminated numbers on the face of the watch make viewing the time in the dark easy. I am very satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend.
