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.
I like the watch. However, there are a few things that disappoint me. First, the watch band is a different shade of Khaki than on the internet picture. Also, the band will need to be adjusted to fit properly. Finally, when you pay over $200 for an every day watch, I don't think you should have to remove the stem, etc. per the instructions before you can use it. This adjustment should have been done by Citizen before the watch was sold and shipped
Received this as a Christmas gift from my wife back in 2017. It’s awesome and works with replacement 20mm wrist bands. The crystal face was scratched within two months and isn’t as durable as it leads on to be. Do not wear it if you’re going to do anything rough. Not military rated or industrial rated. Only office rated. Love the Echo drive and look.
