This is an excellent quality all titanium sapphire crystal solar watch. Keeps perfect time, very easy to read, great illumination, fits like a glove on my wrist. When adjusting the band, make sure you do not loose and you must reinstall the very small friction collar/tubes that are needed to keep the watch band link pins from moving. Citizen has watch band adjustment instructions on-line for these type of watchbands.
Very well put together. Titanium is light and no allergy problems like with SS. Beautiful Dial
I bought it at Macy's in Garden State Plaza a few weeks ago, and haven't taken it off since. Albert K at the watch department helped and he's my go-to guy. Very comfortable to wear. It feels very strong and quiet visually. Very legible dial, and there's something cozy about the colors and font and general design of this watch. Wish the bracelet tapered a little bit. But I love it like a simple Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date in quartz.
This is my third Citizen eco-drive wristwatch. I have had my first one for 30+ years and it still runs perfectly. I have had Apple watches for the last 10 years, but I’m tired of all the apps constantly disturbing my thoughts and having to raise my wrist and shake it to make the screen display the second hand. I wanted to go back to a simple watch that tells time and date with large characters that are easy to read, that can be seen in the dark and doesn’t need batteries. Citizen provides all that. So, I bought a stainless-steel Citizen eco-drive that fit the bill. Then, Citizen offered an all-titanium watch and band a great sale price. I couldn’t resist the deal. Now I’m the proud owner of a beautiful, comfortable, legible, precision-crafted timepiece I can wear anywhere.
Impressive looking watch with a sharp green face. The contrast between the green face and the flat silver band makes a stunning combination. The watch glass appears to have a slight magnification that helps when viewing the dial. The hands have a better than expected illumination when in low light. I am completely satisfied with this watch.
While the Promaster Tough is not what I’d consider a go anywhere, do anything watch, because the large Arabic numerals on the dial are wrong for a dress occasion, it is still a great field watch for everyday wear. The looks are good. The muted titanium head piece and bracelet are understated and light on the wrist. The legibility is off the charts. The lume is an all night affair. Sapphire crystal, 200m WR, AND eco-drive? I defy you to find a better grab and go piece at this price point that still looks like something an adult can wear to the office.
Beautiful, high-quality, lightweight. The dial styling (color, number typography) is quite unique and eye catching. The lum is bright and easy to read in darker settings. Love the build quality. Excellent watch!
Comfortable, light, accurate and great proportions. The smooth edges of the caseback make this watch comfortable for activities like mountain biking, it does not chafe the wrist bone during long rides. The domed sapphire crystal is fun to look at. The numbers are bold and read well. The lume is bright.
What a great looking watch, with large numerals and great lume. This watch is easy to read at any time of day or night. It’s very light weight due to the titanium construction.

I'm a big fan of Citizen watches and have several EcoDrive and automatic watches, but this one was really disappointing. It looked much better in the website pictures. I was so disappointed by its appearance that I returned it the next day. On a positive note, the return process was fairly quick and easy. Citizen Watches of America provided a pre-paid UPS return label and authorization. I purchased a Promaster Skyhawk A-T Blue Angels edition instead.
Citizen Response
The bracelet is much darker and less polished than advertised online :(
Overall, I really like this watch. The dial is legible and the green is a lovely shade. However, I have a few issues with the watch…1) the band has very sharp edges (almost dangerously so), particularly the clasp; 2) the band catches and pulls hair like no other watch I’ve worn. I usually sleep with my watches on, and I find this one’s band makes me have to make sure my arm isn’t near my beard for fear of pulling; 3) the lume is very bright, but there is distortion caused by the glass, making the time harder to read in the dark. One other note: the watch was sized correctly, but it was sized on the last micro-adjust hole of the clasp. This was an issue since my arm swells throughout the day. I had to add one of the links back and then adjust the clasp.
Watch face is beautiful. It’s very light weight, clean green dial and large numbers. Very easy to read. However, the date is so tiny, I almost don’t want to look at it. I mean, come on, Citizen designers. You put a date complication in a watch and what good it is if I can’t even read it. And today’s date is 2nd-a single digit. I wonder how small the two digit dates would be. I need to check now. I know this is a titanium body, but I really wished this watch was more shinier stainless steel finish. My god, imagine how pretty it’d look and add slight weight to it. I like my watches to have that feel of wearing it. I gave four star, but in actuality it’s more of 3.5 star watch.
This watch has a bold, uncomplicated style that suits me well. The luminous indicators keep going throughout the night and the time is easy to adjust. The one shortcoming is the small date indicator. Why so small without a crystal magnifier or larger numbers?
Almost perfect. I was disappointed that the second hand does not hit the markers on the dial. All the reviews I had read said they aligned perfectly. Not with the watch I received . I did not return the watch because this wasn't a deal breaker for me.
Really glad I chose the green version. Extremely comfortable, light watch.
A quality watch for the price. Lightweight and robust with its green dial a superb lume as well. It’s a daily wear. Very comfortable and stylish!

citizen nailed it with the pm tough titanium. light yet solid, bright beautiful lume and duratec titanium for that brushed ultra cool lowkey look of titanium. eco drive movement is bulletproof, low maintenance and keeps extreme accuracy. highly recommended.
