I love the watch and the look, however the great looking band is too short for a normal sized man's wrist. Called Citizen, they have no larger band for this!?

This is my third Eco-Drive watch, and I love it more than the other two. I bought this to have a chronometer when I sail. It is functional, stylish, accurate, and essentially perpetual. The price point is attractive. You just can't go wrong.
I purchased the watch as a birthday gift for a very good friend .
The first think you notice about this watch is the great retro/vintage look. The padded leather strap has a quality feel and is comfortable on the wrist. It looks great with jeans or khakis. Best part, it's Eco-Drive, you never have to worry about changing a battery.
The watch is perfect. The strap feels great, EXCEPT the strap. The metal strap has a sharp edge that digs into the skin.
I've owned this Brycen watch about 2yrs now and get lots of compliments whenever I wear it. I own three other Eco Drives, Citizen makes a great product.
This is my first 'real' watch, meaning I didn't get it at walmart on a whim. And I think this is going to be the beginning of an addiction. This watch is stylish and fun to wear. It arrived quickly as well. I will definitely be buying more.
I’ll begin with the positive: the watch is beautiful, and I’ve gotten several compliments on it in just a few days’ worth of use. The material grade and craftsmanship both rank high. I felt the purchase price was fair and the shipping was quicker than expected. My one complaint that brings my review to three stars from what would be five is the fatal design flaw: the buckle is sharp, and truly digs into my wrist. If I loosen the belt by one notch to prevent the sharp buckle from rubbing my wrist, then the watch is far too loose - so I know this is not the issue. I’ve never dealt with this on another watch and it’s very disappointing. I’ve been wearing a bandaid in hopes that the band breaking in creates more separation from the sharp buckle and my wrist.

A perpetual calendar would make this a perfect everyday watch.
The watch is almost ideal. It’s absolutely beautiful in person! The only downside is that the strap was not long enough, and my husband had to buy a longer strap on Amazon; the company did not offer any additional strap size options.
