I thought and thought about what watch to order. And for the money and quality, this watch kept standing out to me. Soon as I bit the bullet and bought the watch, I absolutely have no regrets. This is a great, quality sturdy piece I'd recommend to anyone
Absolutely love the design of this PCAT, the blue accents and dark band are an excellent combination and a great add to the growing Citizen collection.
This is a great piece added to my collection. It was a gift from my wife and I absolutely love it.
I’ve had this watch for over 6 years. It works as well now as when new. Due to the years of almost daily wear it definitely shows the superficial wear and tear of an adventurist lifestyle, but the crystal is unmarred, the face as clear and looks brand new. If you want a watch that works long and hard through all kinds of conditions, never needs to be adjusted or serviced, I highly recommend it.
I got this for my husband for our 10 year anniversary. He’s never had an automatic watch. He’s over the moon with it. It’s classy, stunning, it works amazingly well. Some people complain about it being hard to set up. Really? This is not a smart watch that’ll do everything for you. This is a great watch that’ll keep time and other things for you after you set it up. My husband found the manual, spent some time reading it and playing with the watch and it’s working great. He’s so happy with it and so am I. He looks like a wealthier man than what he is! Haha! 100% recommended.
I wore the previous model for 10 years. I loved it. I still do. I only bought a new one because the band broke on my old one. I was excited to see that you enlarged the glass area to now cover all of the outside numbers that were previously exposed to wear and tear and fading away. But, I have to be honest the new model hands are now white with a border of black. The previous model was white surrounded by chrome. With the new model, I really almost cant tell what time it is simply because youve made the hands harder to see, especially in low light situations. I struggle constantly to gain the basic info from the watch which is… what the time is, simply because youve made it harder to see it. Did I love my old watch? Yes. Do I love the new model? Sorry, no.
Love that the way this watch works, and the way it sits on my wrist. This is the 3rd Citizen I have added to my collection.

Accurate to a t comfortable to wear nice addition to my collection
I purchased the watch last week as an early birthday gift for myself and after carefully researching the watch, I finally bought it. The watch was so nice, a friend of mine actually purchased a similar Citizen watch. Great watch, awesome features, and impressive build quality.

Bought this watch for myself. Love it think it is an attractive watch.....but, cannot read in dark conditions. Other than that, I have absolutely no concerns with this model. Next time I'll make sure the hands are luminated.
I wish it had a light ro see at night.
I just purchased this watch, and I'm very pleased with it. I work in an environment where I can't have Bluetooth devices, or Wi-Fi, so this passive watch is perfect. I really wanted a nice watch that had an alarm, and this was the only one I found with that feature of this style (the Seiko's don't have alarms, for example). I wanted a nice-looking analog watch with solar power, sapphire crystal, atomic timing, able to read at night, and an alarm. It's a tad busy, but it's nice looking. I like the muted black look. The sapphire crystal is great, and I love not worrying about scratches. Being a newbie, the thing I will never understand about luxury watches is why they don't have lights or electroluminescent screens. I was worried about the glow-in-the-dark hands on this watch. I will say they are MUCH better than the ones on my old Citizen Perpetual A-T World Time watch I got used on eBay. That one is useless after 15 minutes. This watch is much better, including being able to read it at 5am in a dark bedroom if I've left it in the sunlight the evening before. It's the in-between environments with a little light that are still a bit challenging, like movie theaters or music halls. But so far I've been able to read it. I do hear that the luminescence on these watches might be a weak point compared to a few other brands, I can't say it's true as I haven't been able to compare. Whatever they did, it's definitely an improvement over older models. I do still feel like I need to get a digital watch with an EL display for times when it's important. Why do luxury watches not do better in the dark?
Love the watch. Have owned it for over 4 years. Super light weight, titanium., and accuracy is phenomenal. Only gripe I have, is that it's hard to read the dial in low light situations.
Great watch but the face is busy and difficult to tell time in subdued light. I find myself usually wearing my Super Titanium more often. Still, love both watches!
Excellent watch but the hour and minute hands could be a little larger.
The watch hands are a little too skinny to see at a first glance and you have to focus to see the time. Otherwise I love it
Bought this watch about a month ago. Beautiful design and I love the PCAT. The only reason I give it 4 and not 5 stars, is the lack of one feature that is described ...the dual time zone. There is no such thing on this watch, the only thing regarding time zones on this watch is the switching between time zones and set is a preferred. That's it, No dual time zone.
Citizen Response
Gift for my hubby...beautiful watch... he loves it.. however, be forewarned.. it is a VERY difficult watch to set. Was all packed and set to return when I stopped at our local jeweler to check if he could set the watch. He did.. even he advised it would probably take a week or so. The jeweler is a huge fan of Citizen even though Citizen has basically made it unaffordable for the local mom and pop to sell their products anymore......
I love this watch. I bought an Eco-Drive watch about 12 years ago and it's still going, I decided to buy the PCAT because I liked the looks and was ready for something with a few fewer dings in it. I have not been disappointed by the PCAT, the radio function for setting the time works perfectly and was easy to use. The watch is beautiful, the grey with the blue accents just look great and this watch looks appropriate in a suit or in a t-shirt and jeans. I only have two complaints; the date is set very far back in the face so it's a little hard to see if you are looking at it at an angle, the only other problem I have is that the hour hand and the minute hand are a little too close in size and shape making it a little difficult at time to tell which is which (especially in the dark when you are relying on the glow in the dark paint to see where they are).
