This watch is more impressive in appearance in real life than in the photos. The atomic timekeeping and solar charging mean that this watch is mostly set it and forget it. I'm definitely keeping this and look forward to many years of wearing it. That said, I liked the way the blue dial looks in the photos. In anything but direct sunlight, the face is more grey than blue. In an office setting, there's a hint of blue, and in low-light situations it's completely grey. This watch has excellent features and is beautiful, but if the blue face is critical to you I don't recommend it.
Its even more beautiful in person. The mechanics of the eco drive are so cool, I love everything about this watch.
Citizen made selecting and buying a gift for my son easy. For a precision watch with exceptional styling and features, the price was reasonable. And the watch arrived on time and intact. Perfection!
Beautiful watch. I'm in love with the size and color scheme. The sort-of bezel-less design (it's behind the crystal instead of outside of the crystal) is also, to me, a very attractive feature. Coming from having multiple mechanical watches in more recent years, what I also really enjoy about the watch is it's precision. Each hand points precisely at each minute tick on the dial. Subdial hands also point very precisly to their various indices. And, to top it off, I love the radio atomic clock feature. Even way out in California it has sync'd every single night without fail (provided I point the antenna roughly towards Colorado as per the manual). Every morning I check if the sync was successful, and a smile cracks on my face as the second hand smartly whips around to point exactly to "OK".
Great watch. Great experience.
Woa my husband loved it , he wears it every day all day . I'm so happy with this purchase.
The PCAT is a great looking watch. There are a bunch of functions that are fun to figure out, but it's not overly complicated. I love it.
PURCHASE! This watch is absolutely GORGEOUS! It was a Father's Day gift andy Dad can't say thank you enough.
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 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.
