First watch I received as a gift was a Citizen Brycen, and ever since this has been my favorite series of watch. Blending more antiquated styles with the latest in timekeeping technology, this is faithful to retro chronographs of the 60s and 70s. Unlike some brands that will use an immitation tachymeter that does not sync up with the second-hand, this piece features a pressurized start/stop count needle to professionally track actual timed-out readings!! True chronographs quickly drain batteries as they draw more power when timing out lap counts. So, the value of this being one of the world's few solar-powered graduated chronographs cannot be understated. What stylistically makes this a real winner, is the off-white face with numerical numbering in place of roman numerals. Designed after automotive speedometers, this makes a statement to racing fans everywhere. Citizen has truly outdone themselves with this design.
I bought this watch in May of 2018 and everything is good on this watch except the accuracy. Citizen rates this quartz watch at +/-15 sec/month. It has always lost time, but lately it seemed to be losing more time. Checking accuracy with the Tool Watch app twice, it measured -1.3 sec/day and -1.9 sec/day, well outside of Citizen's parameters listed for this watch. I should not have to measure accuracy with a quartz watch.
Great watch, never skips a beat, this is my 3rd Citizen ecodrive watch, i also have a blue angels AT, that is now 10 years old, i never had to reset the time, the watch has been performing flawlessly ever since i got it. Citizen’s eco-drive watches are the best value for your money when buying quartz watches. Thank you Citizen.
Its a bit simple compared to some of the other watches for the price but if simple is whar you want then this is perfect
No instructions came with watch and "date" is virtually impossible to read.
Great timepiece for a reasonable price. Love the style and look of it. Wearing it as I type. Thanks
Only drawback is date is a little hard to make out, I think it just needs to be adjusted to see by me.
I like the color and the look of this watch. However, even though I like how it looks I think most of the faces are a little pointless - I've never needed to be reminded of whether it's AM/PM (12, 24 hr face), and the minute face for the stopwatch is too small to accurately read. I also wish there were choices in bands, even though this one does look nice. I ended up ordering a couple other bands but really had to hunt for the band width, ultimately finding it on a 3rd party site. Again, I like this watch but I can't say it's perfect.
