Just not for me

I think it’s a cool affordable watch that does its job. I thought the strap was terribly stiff. It’s just not the type of field watch I’d want at this point in my life. If you’re active duty I think this would be a great everyday watch. I just wanted to go with something a bit higher end, automatic, looks a bit more refined.

Time is important

I like the style and simplicity of this watch. This is my second Citizen watch. My first was a Wingman circa 1992. This time around I did not need all those features. The Eco Drive never needs a new battery and this Garrison model is easy to set. I can even see the day and date dials. I find it most comfortable to wear. This was a gift to myself upon retiring early at 56. I’m looking forward to buying another Citizen watch for more formal occasions.

Citizen Response Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear you’re enjoying your new Garrison's for its style, simplicity, and sustainable Eco-Drive technology. Congratulations on your early retirement—it’s great that you celebrated with a new Citizen timepiece. We look forward to your review on the next Citizen watch!

Rough and ready

This watch is rugged and stylish. The Cordura band is a little stiff, but I suspect it will take shape as I wear it more! I love it

I hate to do it......

This is an amazing watch and I wish I was able to have kept it. I ordered the watch because I liked everything about the way it looked. Unfortunately the band was made for small wrists only. Forget about ordering the band if you have an average size male wrist. Sure I could have replaced the band and kept it, but the whole point of buying it was because I like the way the band and face looked together. I didn't want a different band that looked similar I wanted that band. I called Citizen to see if they could provide a bigger band but they do not carry a bigger size. I would have ordered the sand colored Citizen watch as well, but that band is the same size. I would've bought two watches but unfortunately it wasn't available for my size wrist.

Watch Band

This is a great watch. However I don't have big wrist and I struggle to get the band on. This would be a much better product if it had a longer watch band. Also the knob gets caught on the pocket of your pants occasionally causing the time to have to be reset.

Very Small band

Very small band, they do not have a replacement band. so you will have to purchase a band, that will actually fit your wrist. unless you have very small wrist. you pay a lot money then you have to buy a band from another company so you can use your watch lol.

Great and rugged watch

It's a beautiful watch, and I can see the hands easily. The band was too short and Citizen does not offer a longer band. I decided to keep the watch and get a third party band which has worked out great.

Great Watch

I have a larger wrist and the watch looks great. The band is too short, I have to use the last two holes. The actual watch is beautiful, and functions perfectly!
