People are saying that you can't use it in the dark yes you can. It does illuminates.
Just like everyone else- love this watch, mechanically perfect, looks sharp. Only one problem- the hands blend perfectly into the dial. In anything but direct sunlight you can't read the time. If I could send it in to get the hands changed to something readable I certainly would. What say yea Citizen? Look at all the reviews here stating the same thing.
I bought this watch a week ago. I have allergies to some metals. So far this watch has been good for me that way. The watch says it's luminous. If it has a bright light to "charge" the luminous material, it does. But it is hard to see at night. If you don't have a good light source, you can't read this watch at night. If that was better, this watch would receive a 5 star rating. For the price, it's good for a day watch, a good showpiece, and that's about it. Come nighttime, the watch fails.
5 years ago I came across this watch. My everyday time keeper while added style. Easy to read and very user friendly. So glad I bought it and will have for a lifetime. Must have if you don't have it already
