Beautiful watch. It’s probably the heaviest on my wrist. I like wearing my watches a little loose, so the extra heft added to the movement and presence. It is very accurate, which is why I chose the quartz with the solar. This is my fifth solar Citizen. I’m a fan. In four to five days, I’m off one second. The date window is too small. Really hard to read which is a shame. I think the designers tried to fit it into the 3:00 indice but they should have made it bigger. The lume is ok. Lume point on the 12:00 bezel is a nice touch. Alignment good. Bezel clicks good. Only complaint is the date window.
I really did not need this watch since I have three other Citizen watches but I liked the design and color as depicted on the Citizen website. After receiving the watch, the actual blue color is much closer to a deep navy blue rather than the lighter blue shown on the website. Although disappointed in the actual color I decided to keep the watch due to the overall look and quality. If you are expecting this watch to arrive with a “brighter “ blue color you will be disappointed. This is the reason for the 4 star rating.
Looks good, so far keeps accurate time, haven’t been swimming with it yet - need to wait until it’s warmer.
Quality comfortable but crystal scratches easily. Advice on repairing?
