Excellent watch. Does everything I need it to do. Great value.
Beautiful watch. Has everything you want in a watch.
I received this as a "replacement" for a 2013 Citizen PCAT two-tone that has functioned flawlessly even after the headache of my letting the battery go dead once (2014). I charged and set the time properly on the old PCAT and no problems to report even when in Australia for ten months. There is no atomic clock reception in Australia, but the old PCAT just trucked right along. Now I have this PCAT. Love this new PCAT one a little more that the older two-tone. Dial to me seems easier to read and is almost identical in dial set up. Love the fit and finish and the durability that I expect of the new PCAT will be only superb. I have eight months on the new PCAT and everything is going great. The 200 meter water resistance is the same as MANY popular dive watches.
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......
Great experience fast shipping and accurate sizing.
I bought this watch for the looks and the Eco Drive features. It was a little tough to get set initially, but now that it is set I should ever have to do it again provided I make sure it gets occasional sunlight. I get frequent compliments on watch looks. My biggest complaint would be the night time luminescence of the hands is practically non existent no matter how much sun light it gets. Very hard if not impossible to read in the dark. This is my daily watch and it seems to be durable but clasp concerns me over the long run as it is starting to get some wiggle to it.
It is by far one of the most superior watches in my collection. Amazingly far above a few more expensive watches i own. This is a very well engineered piece!
Citizen Response
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).
Great Watch- I am very pleased. The band clasp seems to be somewhat flimsy and my impression is it might require replacement someday, however my overall satisfaction with the watch outweighs said annoyance
Great watch. My only complaint, if there is one is that it is hard to see the hands in the dark. I like that I didn't even have to set it due to the automatic radio settings.
