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.
Love the look, the weight and feel. Very happy with this watch

Great watch, lots of compliments. Only thing I would change would be recess the crystal within the bezel. Feel like I’m going to scratch it up quick wearing this daily
I love this watch, and I got it just before probably the hardest week of backpacking I had. It still stood strong, and survived better than the cheap smart watch whose strap broke off. Absolutely love this timepiece, and will be getting more in the future.
I have had this watch almost a full year now. I have broken the glass twice and had it replaced through the jeweller I bought it from. This is definitely not an outdoor activity watch. It’s heavy and after about 3 months the glow in the dark symbols and hands fade out. It does keep accurate time but mine will get stuck about once a month. Not sure how long the battery life will hold up. If you are looking for a nice watch that will holdup to the elements and outdoors- this is not for you. I would go with something a little better suited for that use.

Love the design and overall appearance, it is a beauty in a masculine way. Have been in love with the Citizen Echo for years. The overall function and durability make it a beast of a time piece. I know, I currently own half a dozen. Great watch.
A beautiful watch, combining a look of rugged elegance. Quite versatile as to where you can wear it. I bought one and liked it so much, I bought one for my son.

I bought this watch mainly because I lovedthe way it looked, looks really cool,I already own 2 seiko 5's automatics,and this is my first Citizen, I wanted to give eco-drive a try.
Our son will soon be promoted to SSGT. Seems like the perfect gift.
I purchased this as a gift and my Dad loved it! It fit well.
This watch is awesome it looks great and keeps fantastic time and it’s a nice looking watch. My only complaint is that I wish the watchband was bigger I can only get it to the first notch and that it I like my watches a little loose on my wrist but other than that I would recommend this watch and any other citizen watch product to anyone who wants a great watch
I bought this as a gift for my son. Couldn't be happier.
Citizen Response
My wife bought this for me about 2 years ago and I have worn it everyday since. I am a mechanic who hunts, fishes, and is building his own house, and I can tell you that it is tough. Its scratched up now and has a decent amount of wear but it has faithfully kept time through it all. It has had a rough life these past 2 years but it keeps on ticking. I absolutely love it and plan to replace the glass every few years as long as it keeps going. Will definitely be buying more Citizen watches.
I've had this watch about a week. Looks great and keeps great time so far. I'm disappointed that only 12, 3, 6, and 9 are luminous. I also have serious concerns about it's durability as the crystal is not protected at all and sticks up about 1 mm above the case. I'm afraid to wear it doing anything active which is why I bought it.
