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.
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.
nice , good bang for buck low maint. watch. very accurate no batts , lug width 22 so its no strap monster but alot available. done saphire is cool
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
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.
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.

Fabulous watch! Fit and finish is excellent. Luminous quality is an all night affair with superb legibility. Bracelet is excellent. The bracelet utilizes pipes and collars. This was the first one I have ever resized and it went well. Timekeeping is spot on. Second hand alignment is perfect. Watch wears extremely well and very comfortably. This is my 8th Citizen watch, I really enjoy all of them. I highly recommend this watch.

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.
Incredible watch! Actually purchased this to replace my Apple Watch Ultra. I’ve always been a classic watch guy, but also love technology. Recently, however, I been wanting to get away so to speak from all the alerts and just media that floods my brain. So I wanted a watch that was titanium and could handle everything I throw at it like intense hiking and workouts. This fits the bill! Numerals are very nice and the luminous aspect is phenomenal! Watch is very comfortable and sits well on the wrist… I actually am able to sleep with this no problem and wear it everywhere. Also, the green face is just beautiful in person. One other huge perk is the fact it’s solar powered and to be honest… part of the reason to stop using Apple Watch is the annoying battery always being dead and having to recharge. Not anymore! I’m very happy with this watch and I’m actually considering purchasing the black face as well! Great buy and highly recommend it. Just one more thing is the spherical crystal. Very nice touch! Also, I would like to add if there is one thing that I didn’t like. I notice that the second hand doesn’t hit every marker 100% accurately. This obviously is a cosmetic detail because the watch holds perfect time down to the minute. At this price point that issue would probably be I would assume a common issue. I would say the second hand hits 70% of the markers perfect, not a huge issue because the overall quality and appearance makes up for this.
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.
I've owned Citizen watches in the past--they were solidly reliable. I changed to a tracker watch, but it's status as a watch was secondary at best to the fitness functions. I've figured out now about how much I walk and climb stairs, and so it was time for me to just look at my wrist and easily see the time and know that it was accurate. The Eco-drive features make me happy. I need a titanium watch--steel makes me break out in rashes. Citizen watches do everything I need and want a watch to, and does it very well.
Perfect for me, lightweight, easy to read, durable, all things considered its a great value.
Easy breezy way of selecting, ordering and receiving the watch I wanted. All the choices are in one spot with easy ways of choosing. The Eco-drive feature is an easy way to never have to wind or replace batteries— running on solar. The titanium body is super light and comfortable.
Exactly what I was expecting. Lightweight, easy to read.
I have enjoyed wearing this watch. It is very light and looks beautiful on the wrist.
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?
This is a really nice watch. Very lite and comfortable to wear. I love that it’s all titanium. The dial is a beautiful green color and easy to read. When I think about the Eco Drive it makes it the perfect watch. Very pleased with it.
