I bought this watch because of the Titanium feature. Now the satin finish is about rubbed off on half of the band in around 1 year.
This watch is only sold in north America, I had to buy it on Ebay and get it shipped to the UK and then brought it to Turkey where I live. It is quite big and the strap juts out a little at the sides. I liked the design of this, kind of what people in the 80's thought the future would look like. If Darth Vader wore a watch he could have this on his wrist. In the summer I thought I had made a mistake but when Autumn and then Winter came it came into itself, this is a watch to wear during the darker nights, it goes well with a dark sweater or shirt, I wouldn't wear it with a t-shirt, I love when the light catches the gold and silver and the watch gleams. I wish that this watch had an alternative strap choice; a black rubber or leather strap would really suit it, if you're listening Citizen then please make one available.
I like this watch a lot. I did buy it, but returned it because I can't stand the two black pieces in the band. If there were offered with the solid color band the model with the all black model comes with this would be in my collection and wear rotation. I just can't get over the color clash on the band and paying over $300 for a replacement band just doesn't do it for me. It's a different design with how the bezel rotates to cover the buttons. It gives it a cleaner, sleeker look without visible buttons. The gold number and hands make it easy to read without being overly noticeable or obvious.
The only reason I gave 4 stars is bc the large second hand is for chronograph timer and the real second hand is the tiny one just above 6,why,this watch is more executive style than sport. I still love this watch but they made a bad decision on the chrono placement
