This was a present from my spouse, and I must admit that I am extremely satisfied with the overall quality of the watch. It is truly a magnificent timepiece with fantastic characteristics, and one in particular that has always intrigued me is the moonphase.
This watch purchase was to replace a 20 year old Tag Link Chronograph, for +- every day use. While I enjoyed the nuances of the prior automatic watch, and the look of the Chronograph (the functions of which I rarely used....), I was always having to check to see if it was precise on time or needed winding after a day or two of rest. I looked at Tag, Omega and Breitling Quartz versions, for a change of pace from the automatic. All were 2-3k, with very limited choice of Quartz > Automatic. It felt like each brand viewed their Quartz versions as "lesser than." I researched the Citizen choices and purchased this watch on the website, not having seen it in person. I was intrigued by the use of titanium and the Eco Drive Radio Controlled device. The watch has radio controlled time regulation from six atomic clocks. I was curious what it would be like to have a watch that always had the precise time and correct date... I also liked the look of the moon phase. The background is just enough of a difference, without being too much. The watch is beautiful and well made. It goes nicely with casual clothes or a full suit in a business setting. I have had numerous compliments. The only difference is the weight. As advertised, the titanium is more durable but lighter. When I first put it on, I was worried it might feel too light, just in terms of comparison to prior stainless steel bands. But after five days of wearing, I can attest it is actually much more comfortable. Its reserve is not 45 hours, or 90 hours. It is 6 months. From my perspective, the look of this watch is equal or better to the other competitors I mentioned. It keeps perfect time. If you must have a watch with a different name, I get it. But I must say, I am really enjoying doing something copletely different.
Have to say CITZEN did it again I love it. The feel the style first class.
I have a thing for nice watches, from automatics (like my Breitling) to fully manuals (like my Omega) to some quartz watches like this one. This is my current favorite. It's beautiful, light for its size (thanks to the titanium construction) and very, very accurate, thanks to the quartz movement and sync to the atomic clocks. I've even enjoyed occasionally checking it against the time.gov website, and it's always exactly on the second with that feed. All of that plus the fact it charges from available light, shows the Moon phase, and has a perpetual calendar, makes this a very good and enjoyable timepiece!
I’ve owned this watch for about three weeks now and it’s still early for a long term review but I gotta say a few things off the bat. 1. I love the weight it’s light enough that I’m not constantly noticing that I’m wearing it but it’s heavy enough that it doesn’t feel wispy on my wrist. 2. I’ve checked on how well it keeps time and I’m seriously impressed with the movement. I know I’ve only had it for a short while but I’m really enjoying this watch as an everyday wear.
This is a very nice watch. Being titanium it is lighter than other citizen watches that I have. The moon phase portion of the watch looks like it might be a little difficult to set. But when I received the watch from Citizen, it was already setup correctly so I didn't have to worry about the setup. Overall I like the watch and will wear it often. I have other citizen watches that I wear more often, but that is due to the sentimental reasons of the other watches because i received them as gifts from my wife who recently passed. As time goes by I know this watch will also become one of my favorites.
Decided to treat myself to a beautiful timepiece. Ordered direct from website. Arrived promptly, sized as requested, fully charged, and on my timezone. Citizen website has directions for setting, not that I need them at the moment (also available through the Citizen App - which is working well for me). I’ve been showing off my Tsuki-yomi to friends and co-workers and everyone is impressed with not only the look, but how lightweight it is too! This is my 3rd Citizen but by far the nicest of my collection. Very satisfied customer!

This watch isn't only beautiful but it's a great size. It's light weight which makes it a great everyday watch.
I can’t say enough god things about this particular watch. It looks great, the watch arrived on time and very well packaged. The atomic clock sync works great, I live in NC and it works, just wait for the nightly sync if it doesn’t work during daytime hours. Love the functionality, moon phase looks great and works great, all the features Citizen chose to implement are useful and make this watch a must have for every day.
