Great adventure watch: nice looking and tough, with shock resist. Good lume and visibility.
This adventure watch exceeded my expectations. I usually buy only automatics, except for a high-end smartwatch I wear for workouts, but this one is “just right” for everyday wear and tear. The sand-brushed titanium case has a great grippy feel; lum is super bright in the dark, so you can check the time at 3 a.m. as you stumble to let the dogs out; the winding knob is knurled metal; the rotating bezel has little bumps that protrude above the face to protect the glass and clicks nicely when you spin it to time boiling pasta. The Citizen solar-powered Eco-drive gizmology makes it run virtually forever. The only con is the face material isn’t sapphire, rather mineral crystal, but I figure the metal bumps of the bezel will protect it unless I whack it with an ax. Wearing this feels fun.
Solid watch with reliable movement. I am a bit of a watch collector and have luxury brands in the thousands of dollar price point but find watches like this diver to be exceptionally reliable and accurate . No regrets with this purchase or the brand. Eco drive is an accurate workhorse of a movement
I just received this watch and I would highly recommend anyone to go with the other two watches in this category and save yourself $210.00. Yes, the dial is nicer than the camouflage, however, the screw down crown is very, very rough and sticky. Also, if you think you are getting the watch box listed on this page, with the whale shark on the inside of the lid, you are in for a surprise. I received mine in the same promaster canister as all of the rest of them. I am probably going to return this purchase, as I just cannot justify the cost.

I’m on the fence on returning this watch. Really like the look and feel of the watch and what it stands for. But, I’ve noticed the bezel is loose. Meaning it’ll move from the 12 o’clock position from normal use. I have many dive watches and none have this issue.
Like the rugged looks and distinctive square shape. Titanium makes it very lightweight ght

Mineral crystal, boo! Get with the 90’s. Otherwise, great release. Would be nice if you released them in non-pvd black case. Prefer the natural titanium color.
I have this watch for about a month. It is awesome!! Has a unique design and looks very beautiful and aggressive. The quality is flawless. Unfortunately in my country the official representation doesn’t deliver it with that box that is shown on the Citizen official site,but that’s ok.
This is an awesome watch, it is classic and functional. The construction is solid, I can wear it in everyday situations or dress up with it. Overall I am very satisfied with this watch.

Been looking at this watch for awhile. Very happy I finally bought it. Love the titanium case with rubber band. Perfect weight. For those who need a longer band this will probably work. I need a 8 7/8 and this one fit. The killer whale dive watch is on my list but not sure about the band length yet.
Very nice watch Great looking piece Love that it’s an eco drive
