Absolutely love this watch. It is gorgeous AND rugged. You really get amazing features for the price - the monocoque case, titanium coating, super luminova, sapphire crystal, , screw-down crown, and a super reliable e168 quartz movement with no need to every change a battery. This is an easy forever watch. Oh, and with regards to the band - ignore the nay-sayers. Wear the band a few days and you'll love it. It begins stiff, but ends up comfortable, and is very attractive.
I'm a sucker for green watches and I love Citizens so I bought this when Citizen was unable to repair another watch I had sent in to be fixed. I know there were some complaints about the included band (which I like the look of), but I also ordered the SS band for the other version in case I had issues with the one it came with. Later I ended up finding a very nice higher-end dense twill NATO strap that matches the watch perfectly. In my opinion this should be the strap that comes with the watch. I've included an image, with this NATO strap installed it is now in my top 4 favorite watches, which is pretty good since I am up to around 57 now.
Great looking and virtually indestructible! One of my favorites!
Have really been loving this watch since purchase. Looks great, feels rugged. Brushed metal really complements the olive face. Strap is stiff but sturdy. Perfect for the wilderness; love to take it outdoors and off-roading. Really appreciate the reliability that Citizen offers in both make and performance. Great value.
So far an excellent purchase. Very sturdy looking and indeed hefty. The strap will need some breaking in as it’s quite stiff, as it’s also sturdy and hefty. Weighs 3.5 ounces so not heavy.
There's a place for the grab and go quartz, and this is it. The fact that it's solar just seals the deal for me. This is my go to watch for activities around the house or trips to the wild. I swapped out the strap it came with with a Horween leather that really compliments the titanium shell and green dial, a black rubber, and a grey Zulu. It's a strap monster. The tough just has that classic look, very clean and easy to read, well lumed, and durable.
