The watch is hard to read. The glass reflects light so you have to change the angle to read. The minute and hour hands are not easy to see. It takes more effort to read the watch.
I bought this watch a week ago and absolutely love it. I’m beginning to collect watches and this was my second Citizen watch that I’ve purchased. My favorite by far, I still haven’t gotten everything figured out but I love the look and features so far. Highly recommend this watch is you want a quality time piece. My only complaint is the set up instructions, they’re not as clear as I think they could be. A tutorial video on the Citizen web site would be helpful.
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
