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.
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.
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.
Very nice watch Great looking piece Love that it’s an eco drive
