I have the previous (non-eco-drive) version. Unfortunately, it was always a bit finicky, then this year it gave up altogether. No damage whatsoever, perfect condition but Citizen could not fit it. Nice enough watch when it worked.
I don't have many words to say on this matter. Basically, this comes down to you and what you are looking for. I love Sport watches and brands like Seiko and Citizen have been a stay front for me and my watch lust for years. This watch is no exception. In fact this is the one of the most higher tech looks found in my watch collection. I only wish it had a sapphire crystal at the retail price of $700. Yes, you can get this on sale for about 500 or a little less but this shouldn't be without that kind of glass. Everything else found on this watch is flat out amazing. Love the deep depth of the watch face. Love the feel of this rubber band( one of the very best that I have felt), and I love the color combo. The Eco drive is a welcome factor that needed to be there and was delivered thankfully. Lastly the weight is a very good feel. It's not overally heavy but yet not too light. If you want to go diving ..I think this is great watch for that purpose. If you like sport watches in the larger capacilty ..then also you would look for this watch as your companion.
Fantastic diver! The finished details are excellent. Love the way it wears on my wrist.
