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.
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.

The execution of the dial design & hand markers deserve a round of applause. This particular model blows the coyote tan fde version out of the water by far. My only gripe (as mentioned by a few others) is the length of the nylon band. Could of been a good inch longer. I have 7 3/4 inch wrists and I’m currently using the second to last notch hole on the band. I’m contemplating getting a band replacement but using the same olive drab color & nylon material as it is totally fitting the the case & dial design that I love so much. This is probably THE BEST looking field watch designs on the market. Might not be a mudmaster g shock kind of beater watch you take out on endurance hiking trip or anything like that as it is a larger raised mineral crystal waiting to be shattered. But as far as design, again, THE BEST looking I’ve seen yet!
Totally satisfied keeps accurate time and gives the rugged military look. I recommend this watch
great watch, small band. will not fit a mans wrist.
So far I really like it. Dials and glow the dark are nice, it is a bit on the heavy side. Only reason for three stars is the wrist band is way too small...I have normal sized wrists and it's too small...for a watch on this price point should have had the option to choose wrist band length
This is another one of the truly inspirational designs from Citizen that will never get enough credit, however, I would like to point out a myriad of choices that not only all work cohesively as a design palette, but elevate the functionality of the field watch. I'll try to be succinct, but this is Citizen and I'm fully aware I have a problem. Whoever designed this field watch needs an award, because the information offered doesn't clutter or obfuscate the dial. The extended minute hand outlined in red offers legibility at a quick glance because the angle of the hand is always clear and when you catch it at night perfectly lined up on one of the five-minute intervals for a strong design win. So as not to compete, the hour hand is widened and whitened. What I have described is a simpler model available as well, and well worth it, however, I would say that the day-of-the-week, 24 hr indicator, and day of the month are all an ideal size to provide the information if looked for, but not cluttering the more critical watch functions. This brings me to the one issue I had with the watch, and ultimately the reason I don't wear it anymore, the sub dials push the design up which makes the ring cover up part of the ten, eleven, and twelve. It's a clear choice, beautifully executed, and gives the watch great depth, however, less of the two is cut off than the ten (they're different numbers so of course that's the case) and the one could be cut off or not. This exceptionally small detail makes the dial heavier, visually, only in the top right quadrant, which in turn throws off the balance of the whole thing.
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.
