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.
Hard to read date. Time also hard to read because hands are same color as background.
The watch is beautiful! Bought it as a gift for my fiancé. However, the face is really difficult to read in daytime, and impossible at night. The hands have no reflective coating and completely blend in. Had to return.
