great watches but would be perfect with shaphire and better quality rubber band,they are expensive to replace and dont last
Just if the screw down crown was bigger and more finely machined to screw down easily and securely, in and out when needed, to adjust time and date. Crown feels cheap., weak and hard to get started. Date window is too small or could use magnifier cyclop lens?
I like this watch a lot there's only one issue and that is the bezzle feel a reaction very stiff and crunchy. Pros- great looking watch super comfortable and light weight nice bracelet if you like the metal style bracelet, keeps good time has a great lume. It's solar! Why would you buy anything else especially not an automatic. You don't drive a car with replaceable Ignition points and crank windows anymore do you ? LOL Cons- No sapphire crystal the bezel action is horrible. If citizen would make this watch 41 or 42 mm 11mm thick, 4 o'clock Crown position and a nice blue face with a sapphire crystal I will buy another one assuming the bezel works better.
I bought this watch because I already have the steel version of it, BN0190-82E, which is very nice but pretty heavy. A titanium version would be perfect, I thought. And it's great. However, I really don't like the skeletonised hands- the steel one has obelisk hands, and I wish they'd kept them for this model. The skeleton hands look overwhelmed by the index markers, especially in the dark. It annoys me so much I'm considering taking the movement out of the steel watch and putting it in the titanium one, then I really would have the perfect dive watch. I suppose I agree with the people who want a sapphire crystal, but I can't say it bothers me that much. And yes, the bezel movement is bizzarely scratchy (not on the steel one), but again I don't really care, although it's puzzling that the people who make the world's most accurate wristwatch can't get that particular thing right on this model. I have lots of watches and I seem to be wearing this one most of the time, so that says it all.
