First off this is a technical marvel for a non-smartwatch. My watch collection includes Rolex Datejust and Omega Seamaster. I stumbled across this Citizen when searching for watches with moon phase functionality. My daily wear watch has been an original swiss made automatic Invicta diver i purchased for $800 twenty years ago. The watch can be a pain if I left it in the drawer for a few days. I’d have to catch it up by resetting it and the date. I’ve decided to use my Citizen as my everyday watch. Once it’s set & synchronized it’s completely carefree. There’s no battery to worry about replacing, charging or rewinding it. It syncs daily in the early hours, but once it’s set it will keep time. I really like the moon phase on the dial. It’s very lightweight as others have pointed out. The positive is it’s light, but it also gives the illusion it’s a cheap watch. I like the watch face being a rendering of a moon. I wish it was a little sharper. I would like the bracelet to be shinier. It almost seems like it’s slightly tarnished. I cleaned the bracelet to be sure it wasn’t. I would also like the crystal dome to be sharper in appearance. But those are cosmetic. I purchased it for its carefree function to use everyday. I’m happy with that most of all. I wouldn’t buy the watch at its original price if $850, but it’s a good value if it’s on sale in the $600 range.
Very nice watch, I love the way it looks. Not a watch guy so I just bought this off a whim. If you don’t know your wrist size just buy a size up if anything. You can always remove links to your size :)
I plan to wear this for a long time. Although it can slip in your arm like every other watch hard to adjust length but not impossible. Overall great watch for the price and beautiful. I would give it 5 if it was perfect but it is an amazing watch give it 4.5 with maybe some improvement to protect the lens of the watch more and adjust it I would be willing to pay more for these
First Citizen Watch. I like it a lot. I received my new watch in the mail, had sized it at 7.25 and it was a bit too big. wore it for a day, had it sized at a shop, now the pin is sliding out. will take it back there, not a problem with citizen per se. overall a very Nice Looking watch, wears well, not as cumbersome as I had thought it might be. I'll be buying more citizen, but not online.
I loved the design and the idea to quickly change to another time zone. Unfortunately it didn’t sync with the atomic clock. Retuned it and looking now into the Attesa w/o the A/T.
It's nice, I just wish they're more instruction videos on setting. My first moon phase watch and glad it's atomic. The face of the moon does pop and the is much better in person as cameras just doesn't capture the shine and intricate design.
For the price, it's a good and interesting time piece. The bracelet is a little cheap for the cost of the piece. That would be the only downside to an otherwise good watch.
Lovely watch, checked all the boxes, even came programmed for my local time, only criticism is it lacks fine adjustability in the band like some of my other Citizens. only full links and only 2 pins on the clasp for adjustability.
