I have only had this watch on for a week, or so, but love it already! This is my fourth Citizen over the past 40 years, having worn each of my first three 12 years, or longer. Each was retired, not due to any failure or defect, but by choice. The PCAT is analog in its human-machine interface, but thoroughly digital in functionality and precision. Operation of the watch is easy, whether syncing with the atomic clock signal, using the chronometer, or switching time zones. Re appearance, the PCAT merges elegance with a technical aesthetic, which is very appealing to me. Its features are crisp, with just the right dash of color and contrast. Given my experience with Citizen, I expect to enjoy this watch everyday for at least the next ten years!
This is my second Citizen Atomic Watch and I found its quality and workmanship to be excellent, as expected. However, if you are expecting the blue face to be apparent in normal light you are likely to be disappointed. It actually looks slate gray unless you place it under a bright light and, on top of that, use some imagination. I have had others look at the watch and they had the same impression.
This is my 2nd Citizen. My 1st was a Caliber 2100. It’s been fantastic but time for a cleaning and a new power cell. Great service going on 10 years now. I like the look of the PCAT. The dial is handsome and functional. I expect this watch will be another solid, reliable timepiece.
I received this as a birthday gift and it’s my second Citizen watch. I like all of the features but I do not think it is user friendly and I had to watch a few videos on how to set it up. The watch is a little top heavy and this band does not have the micro adjustment's like my other Citizen watch. So it’s either too tight, or loose. I cannot get that perfect fit unfortunately.
