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.

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 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

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.

great watch, small band. will not fit a mans wrist.
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.
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.
Looks good, however the band is way too short. The site doesn’t say the length nor gives the option for different sizes.
This is a good product so far I’ve had it about a month now. It’s a little on the thick side but I like the look. Had a citizen before lasted almost 20 years. Different model but that’s why I got another. Hopefully I can tell you how much I like it in 15 years
I love my new watch, and how it looks at night
The watch has a relatively large face and body is raised higher than a typical watch. The band is a canvas band that takes some time to break in. The dials work well and show date, day and hour. The watch seems very rugged, sturdy and well made.
