I own two Citizen watches! The Skyhawk and the Chandler chronograph watch with the olive green wristband. I love the Skyhawk because I do some flying. I love the options it has and the wristband fits is great. But when I am not flying I wear the Chandler chronograph watch. With the exception of the wistband being a tad to short it’s a great watch. So I set out to get another watch that was military in nature. This watch caught my eye. But after purchasing it and bringing it home it’s not what was expected! Like my other Chandler the wristband is a hair to small. I don’t understand why Citizen makes such small wristbands. They must think that all men are short and small. Also instead of having illumations on every hour it’s just on every quarter hour and there is no back lighting. So if you are the dark I hope you have good vision because you won’t able to tell time unless it’s on the quarter hour. Also the wristband color is very deceiving. On the internet and the catalog the color is portrayed as a desert tan. But actually it’s more of a taupe to a light green.
I love Citizen, however this is a fail. The strap is ridiculously small. I'm a 5'6" guy and would have to use the LAST hole in the strap. It's basically worthless. The crystal is mineral. For this price point? Not acceptable! Guess I'll go back to Seiko.
Watch band is of poor design. It is overly stiff making it hard to put on and the thin leather veneer tore after two weeks of usage.
