Love the watch, hated the band !

First and foremost: Great utility watch. Altimeter and compass simple to use . Bezel spins freely but bearable. The liquid rubber strap I ditched for a Zulu nato strap which works brilliantly. The size is 46mm and wears like a 46mm so it is a pretty big watch. I like big watches . The lume on this particular watch does last glowing a blue hue for maybe 3hrs . I strongly recommend it .

Great watch!

Just got it yesterday. Awesome watch, easy to use functions. Great looking! No doubt in my mind that it will be typical excellent Citizen quality. Only reason for the 4 stars versus 5, crown is not a screw down. Seems really strange for this watch. Additionally, the crown is absent any shoulders for protection. Also strange.

Love it but not perfect

I really love this watch but there should be small improvements. The outer bezel with cardinal directions (N,S,E,W) and degrees is too loose! It needs to click to stay in place. It moves too easily so when orienteering, it's likely to move after setting your bearing. The compass works really good but the altimeter is rarely correct, even after calibration it changes frequently. I understand that a change in temperature and weather can affect the sensor, but it doesn't seem extremely useful. The eco-drive system is fantastic.

Great watch, good features, lousy band.

Purchased 2 months ago, and has replaced my citizen AT2447-01E as my daily wear. Great looking watch, bold markings, bright glo points (and blue, not green! Nice touch!). I say 'good' features, because the altimiter is pretty decent, atmospheric conditions obviously having an effect on readings, the compass is not great.. pretty bad actually. The refresh rate on it is terrible, so dang slow, and the bezel (with the compass points on it) is loose, to the point where it almost rattles, you can actually wiggle it up and down, makes it feel cheap. The watch band is where it really falls on its face. It looks fine, and is comfortable enough, but it's very sticky to itself. One night I gave up on trying to take it off, could not get the band out of the loops, and had to wear it to bed! Will be switching to a leather deployment clasp at first opportunity. Watch case is an ABSOLUTE UNIT though. Great size, great look.

Great Watch, Needs longer band option.

really love the watch, just wish it had a Longer band. I have it on the next to last notch and it sometimes pops out of the 2 loops to hold the extra. is there an option to get a longer band. would be happy to pay for the option.

Watch band.

I don’t like the band. It’s too hard to get the loose end of the strap secured when it’s on your wrist.

One of my favorite go-to watches for everyday use.

I've bought Two of them over recent years, in black. That's how much I've liked it. Very functional and aesthetic design. Very easy to see what the actial time is! even at at a slight glance. It gets compliments and makes a impression, though I didn't buy it for that. I'd strongly suggest Citizen keeping this core design aesthetic and evolving pushing it forward, instead of discontinuing the line eventually. And get more technically and aestheticlly creative with the band/strap options. Takes daily wear very well, and can definitely handle wear during recreational/sports activity. But the band can indeed wear out along the buckle-holes area, and if you drop the watch and it lands square on the face of the crystal? It can fracture. Happened in my kitchen... not Kilimanjaro ;-) The outer bezel is free-rotating, which is bad. IT SHOULD HAVE CLICKS! It moves too easily if anything brushes against the watch, so when orienteering it WILL move after setting your bearing. The eco-drive system is truly excellent.
