This is a very good watch overall. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could. Eco-drive is awesome. Color (I have mine with blue sparkle accents) is unique. I wear it in the summer and for everyday use. I have another Citizen with a silver metal band I use for more formal events. My only issues are carried over from other watches by Citizen which is the date is difficult to read, especially in a dim light situation. Also the glass is susceptible to scratching. I would like a little better protection for the price of the watch.
When I open the box and see I loved. The bright and the blue on it are precious. The size are perfect for me. The weight is well balanced. Only the hands are small.
My wife got this for me for Christmas this year after asking for a citizen for a long time and I'm so happy she got me this one
Watch has a great look and design. Solar charging works well. Band is very comfortable.
