Good: Sturdy Construction Eco-Drive Bad: Easily Scratched Screen Glow-in-the-Dark Feature of Numbers and Hands is EXTREMELY POOR
I like this watch, but very hard to see the time in the dark.
I received this watch as a gift and have to admit that as an avid Citizen Watch fan this watch has a major flaw in my opinion. It's difficult at times to distinguish the time on the watch. Black on Black on Black.....sometimes I have to hold the watch just right in the light to see the hands. On a positive; it's a great looking watch with all of the quality that I think Citizen brings with their products.
I have 6 citizen watches. I actually just bought another one yesterday, the mens corso. My nighthawk i bought about 2 years ago and i thought the hands just didnt light up until i realized i got a bad watch. Ill leave it under the sun for a week just so it lights up for a second. Wish it worked as presented. If you guys can do anything that would be greet! I have had one of your watches for 10 years
I purchased this sleek looking watch while on a cruise in Nassau. I had my prescription sunglasses on in the store, so I thought that was the reason the watch seemed extra dark. When we arrived back at the ship and I wore my regular glasses, the dials were still extremely difficult to read indoors. Much to my dismay, the watch was challenging to read outside as well. I can only wear the watch in complete daylight. I would only use the watch as a daytime watch. The dials are not luminous in dark conditions, so don’t purchase it if you are looking for a do it all watch. This watch is just for outside on the brightest day.
It looks cool, but is basically unusable. Cannot see anything, so we are returning. So bummed, b/c wanted an all black watch.
I had ordered this warch online through Kohls and did an in store pick up and was very excited to see it in person. When I got there I opened it first before leaving the store to check it out and was glad I did because I was super bummed. Everthing about it was awesome except for how dark it was. I loved the color of the picture and thought it would have slight hints of blue in it and the hands would have shades of silver for a sleek look but it turned out to look black on black on black which makes it very hard to read. I returned it and left with no watch. The only reason im giving it 2 stars is because of the quality. Loved the weight and size of the face but just couldnt get over color.
Im very disappointed in Citizen. I bought this watch about 2 years ago and the watch’s battery hasn’t held a charge for longer than 2 hours since I brought it home. I took it back to the retailer who then sent it to Citizen for repair. It was returned, apparently fixed, but it’s still not working. At this point, I wear it because it looks amazing with all my suits. Not for telling time. What a disappointing experience.
the watch itself is nice looking but unless you are in fairly bright light its difficult to read, it would have been nice if they put a light in it
