I have over 10 watches in my collection and most of them are Citizen watches. This watch is a head turner. I love the look and feel of this watch. I personally don't like rubber straps (unless they are paired with a sports or a military style (rugged type)) watch case. Once I received this watch I changed out the rubber strap with a ballistic black nylon watch strap.
I bought this watch because of the unique looks compared to the many date only dive watches available on the market. It has wowed me to the max. This watch comes packed with lots of features perfect for serious divers. However, it doesn't sacrifice good looks for the increased performance. The gold looks a lot better in person than in the photos. And the dial looks a lot less cluttered in person than in the photos. Seriously, I have four citizen watches and they all look much better in person than in the photos Citizen has on their website. This watch looks thick but it fits pretty well on my small wrist and I barely notice the relative thickness of the case.
