Only realized once I received it as the back of the band isn't pictured anywhere, has a metal clasp that appears to dig into your skin when wearing it. Tried it on and immediately returned it.
Watch looks great and nice looking blue strap but a nightmare to figure out how to put it on with the clasp set up. Would highly recommend Citizen replace with a regular blue leather strap. Lastly trying to properly set the watch is the other nightmare. I gave up on getting the day of the month set correctly so will have to pay a company that specializes in watches to do it for me. Good looking watch but…
I got this watch about a little over a month ago. I really like the features and the looks of it. But the band is very uncomfortable. For one thing, the advertised length is a little misleading. 254mm is 10 inches. My wrist is 8-1/4 inches and it was very tight. Also, the clasp digs into the wrist, as others have noted. I had to buy a more traditional blue leather band and that fixed that. I really wish that a stainless steel bracelet had been an option.
I agree with the other reviewers. A beautiful watch with an unnecessarily complicated band.
