I bought this watch to tell the time of day. This watch looks great in the photo. I’m t is sold and beautiful. But you can’t read the time due to the dial’s color blending into background; indoors or outdoors is the same almost impossible ability to read the time. What a disappointment. I owned it less than one day and knew I’d have to return it. Wholly not acceptable. Very disappointed. I had my first CITIZEN watch 23 years until a lost stop watch push button couldn’t be replaced. I’ll try another CITIZEN watch which has white or legible hands that can be read easily at a glance without eye strain or by maneuvering the watch to catch the light just right to read the time. Watch does not illuminate for night glow which you’d think would be a standard feature. I miss my old CITIZEN. I’m not giving up though. Note to CITIZEN: Please fix the color of the main dials! And don’t let anyone buy this watch without full disclosure. Thanks for allowing candid reviews. But I couldn’t believe the watch dials are almost invisible. Darn it.
Had this watch for 4 years and love the styling, weight, chargability with any light - but -hands are not luminous except immediately after being exposed to light. Called the company and was told in order to see hands at night you must expose them to light? What good are luminous hands if you can't read them at night?
The second hand isn't a true second hand, the second hand is one of the small dials in the watch face. The hour and minute hand are very difficult to read because they are very similar in color to the watch face. I work in healthcare and I need a second hand that is easily read as well as being able to easily read the time and sometimes low lit areas.
solid at the meeting, looks good on the lunch date , and even fits perfect with the cigar while discussing business after-hours. Simple,Sturdy, Honorable
Amazing watch! This is the first watch I've ever bought brand new, and it does not disappoint. Such a sleek design and its held up through plenty of strenuous use. I'm a big fan of Citizen watches and this purchase amplified that even more so.
I purchase only Citizen Eco drive watches due to their style and functionality. If you want a quality time piece that does not require batteries then invest in these watches. This will be my fifth watch....
If you buy this watch, know that you won’t be able to see the hands, thus you will not be able to tell what time it is. It’s a black watch.
I love the look of this watch EXCEPT...it will NOT light up in the dark at all it is very dim and even when charged in light all day I also see lots of complaints for this very problem on line for this exact watch . You can NOT see what time it is in the dark
