Leather treatment; bulky
I really like the idea of this watch but I will echo other reviews in saying that this watch face is quite large (and I'm a woman with a small-ish wrist so it's very much an unintended statement piece because of its size). More importantly, whatever Citizen is treating this leather with is super toxic...I've worn leather products on bare skin for years (Frye boots, Coach shoes, coats, other leather banded watches, etc.) and I've never had a problem with leather. But within two hours of putting this watch on my arm breaks out in a vicious rash that takes days to heal. It's been five months and I've tried various home remedies from the internet to try to draw out what I assume is toxins from the tanning process, so far with no success. It's such a shame because I was really excited to have a solar powered, water resistant watch with time and date dials and a moonphase indicator.
