I love this watch, I bought it years ago and sold it and regretted it and ended up buying it again a few weeks ago. I own a lot of watches, but I love big dive watches. I have a Rolex Deep Sea as well which I dont wear that much anymore, its more an investment piece. I wear this almost daily and I love the fact you never have to worry about winding it like an automatic and that it can get power for a year from a day of sunlight. It has quartz accuracy as well. I love the chunky size and it wears well on a big man, its a talking piece for sure. Downside and things to improve are to make the strap a little softer (I washed mine carefully in warm water to soften it a little). and perhaps work on the lume a little. If Citizen could get stronger, longer lasting lume it would be almost perfect for me as a daily wear watch. Build quality is exceptional and I think its one of the best, most durable watches ive seen on the market in years.
the most durable scuba watch who i seen and i have. i m very proud of it.
I got the watch about two weeks ago and I can't stop wearing it. It is huge but my wrist is large and it feels good. The bezel lock works so smoothly it is amazing and the Power Reserve is very nice to have. Time keeping is perfect and the lume is very good. All in all a very impressive timepiece. Citizen is the best at Eco Drive / solar powered watches hands down.
I bought this a few days ago and love the watch itself but the band is way too stiff and makes it nearly impossible to take the watch on and off. Looks great though and weighs much less than anticipated.
