I wore it for a little over a month, the band always smelled a little bit even out of the box. started to smell when I wore it a few days a week. I gently wiped the band but the smell wouldn't come off? Finally, the coating of the "leather" started falling off. I remember when watches used to last a life time, now they last a few weeks. Citizen refuse to pay for any repairs/ replacing the band even though only 1.5 months had passed. Limited warranty does not cover "wear and tear." Pros: Love the dial and the sub dials, like the color.

This watch looks better in person than in picture, at first I was a bit afraid to wear a 44mm watch but I had no issues, I was used to wear only my citizen stiletto so I noted the change a bit in weight but immediately got used to it, I was looking for a fair price watch for special occasions and an everyday watch too so I found the perfect one.......
Would have given 5* However, had to take away a star due to the quality of the band. I have owned this watch for about a year or two now and although I love the face of the watch the band (the construction of the band) is what I had to remove a star. Classic in it's appearance however, I don't understand why the stitching does not all the way to the clasp / buckle. This is a obvious design flaw, as the glue for the leather has broken due down due to the natural oils in my skin. It would be much easier to take the stitching all the way and not 3/4. Just my humble opinion. Otherwise love the look, feel and complaints that I have received for this watch. Replaced the band with a stainless steel band and not it looks like my other watches, not as happy (still searching for the perfect band)

I have been wearing it for 2 years. I like it. Like most watches, one cannot read day/date easily, but this is OK. The main issue is it's leather band. In my 2nd year, the band has seriously irritated my wrist, it has become red and swallow. I think citizen should be more careful with it's band suppliers. I have 2 more citizen watches in my collection with no such problems. Thank you.
Probably the most sleek watch imo, it's perfect for formal and casual. My favorite watch by far. Love it so much, I want a second.
this is an update ... i want to inform about its caliber and the accuracy of the watch..it is stated that it runs +/-15 seconds/month..well, i have observed that my Corso has lost only 2 seconds (-2 seconds) in about 8 (eight) months. We are talking about a watch which is not a HAQ. This is amazing. Congratulations to Citizen. (if Citizen would ever make this caliber with a perpetual calendar (just date is ok) then it would be an almost perfect watch.)

I like the watch appearance, very stylish. However, my old eyes cannot read the three little dials, and the face looks large on my wrist. This is the third eco citizen watch I have purchased: lasted 20 years.
The very first Citizen watch I bought. Great watch. I love the dial color and band.
I love this watch. The design is no nonsense and the watch its self is easy to set. The leather band is just classy enough to wear in the office while still being casual enough for day to day wear. The only issue i have is that while i have narrow wrists the band is a bit short and as such can get a bit tight when the temps go up in the summer. Still glad I purchased this watch and would do it again.
