This is my 4th Citizens Watch in the Eco Drive system. I was looking for a Scuba Style watch to replace my Seiko Automatic of 20 years. I am very pleased with the watch. The accuracy is great, simple to set ,24 Hour dial accurate and has a secondary timer dial along with the main bezel dial for timing. I have another watch with the Eco Drive in Black/green which moved me towards this diver watch style. It’s my everyday mainly because of its durability. Plus price is reasonable especially on sale with special offers which i took advantage of. Best choice so far.
The watch is indeed handsom and the bezel performs beautifully. However, I am forced to comment regardng the flawed stopwatch. It tries to fit 60 minutes in dial much too small. While the stopwatch is precise,a precise. Reading is a difficult proposition. I would guess that the error probability is from one to two minutes. The bezel is capable of greater precison. Despite this, I don’t regret buying this watch. I love it anyway. If Citizen is interested, I have several suggestions to make this watch even better.
This is my second Citizen dive watch. My first is 24 yrs old, and I have it on right now. It still works great and I suppose this one should last also. I dive, fish and swim and spend all free time on the water. A tough watch matters...and I have been through many that have not held up. This watch is very good looking, too! Oh, I use the bezel on shore for a variety of reasons. It has stayed solid with correct tension and is still going strong. I suspect my new dive watch from Citizen will do as well.
