I got this as a Christmas present and am happy. My only complaint is that the lens already scratched and I don't even know how it did. It says scratch resistant so I'm not sure how it's already scratched.
it was a great splurge. I had been looking for this open style for a long time.
Purchased watch about a month ago, to replace my other EcoDrive/Automatic that I had, and wore daily, for 11 years. While not having an automatic function - sorely missed - this one has served well as a replacement. It has been accurate to the second and an added bonus feature is the duration of the luminescence that works through most of the night. This is my third Citizen watch. The first - the WindSurfer model - is more than 30 years old and still works just fine [if I remember to change the battery!] - hence the new overwhelming acceptance of a EcoDrive system.
This is my second eco-drive watch and it won't be my last..I just love it.
