3Rd Citizen In 30 Years

Just got my new watch. I have owned G.Shock, Apple and a few Citizen’s. I like this one better than my original Skyhawk which stopped working after 10 years. The new one is sleek and is comparable to my G is size. I’m looking forward to getting a few compliments on this one. It’s an investment, Citizen is known as a luxury brand.

Beautiful watch!!!

I bought this about 3 years ago. I use it 2-3 times per month and keep it in a watch case. The band broke for no apparent reason. Replacing it will cost about $90 or above. Not happy about that!

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!

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 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 .

Its a great watch. But easier to understand instructions would be great.

Excellent Timepiece ?

I received my Citizen as a birthday gift from my wife. 46mm case fits my wrist nicely and the watch is very easy to set. The digital compass is easy to use and the altimeter is a nice feature for hiking and skiing. The one thing that I like the most is the Eco drive, amazing. I have owned the Skyhawk A-T, Sail Hawk and the Altichron. I am a huge fan of Citizen Eco Drive watches. This watch is 👍👍👍

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.

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.
