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.
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 watch checks off all the boxes for a great price. “Tough” is spot on. Great everyday watch that looks good with the bracelet it comes with and the NATO straps I’ve put on.
I'm not a watch guy. I wear a watch every day, but I don't have a watch collection, or pay too much attention to features, brands etc.. But this is a beautiful watch. I find myself admiring it often. It's also comfortable, light, easy to set, and, so far, has kept good time.
