Timepiece > GREAT (Leather band, not so much)
This purchase was for an Anniversary and although I love the look of the watch/band, the leather band is soooooo stiff I cannot get it buckled at the right 'fit' (leather won't bend enough to allow me to wear it). I have several Citizen Eco-Drive watches and love them all, but one recent replacement band purchase and THIS watch's band are sooo stiff it is nearly impossible to wear the two time pieces yet because of the leather bands. I've never had this issue before with three Citizen watches, all with leather bands (my preference) including one previous replacement band. I'll be bending & working the leather bands till they are more flexible, but I could not wear the new purchase on a recent trip due to the STIFF leather band. I can't get it 'latched' (yet) without assistance.
