This is my third Atomic Citizen's watch and a great one at that. I do enjoy a leather band and thought it would be nice to try the new design. One problem with standard leather bands is that they wear out in a relatively short time compared to metal bands. The new design doesn't seem to suffer from this problem. The band works great! I'm a fanatic for accuracy and it's a real pleasure to get up in the morning and see all three of my Atomic Citizen's second hands move it totls sync.
Got this watch as a graduation gift for my son. He wanted a watch with a leather band. This watch is now his favorite. It's a great looking watch. He loves the leather band. Might actually get one for myself.
Amazing everyday, set and forget watch! The water resistance means I don’t even take it off in the shower or for a swim. I just never have to take it off, don’t have to set it either after the initial start up. I will say the clasp on the band is a bit uncomfortable as it’s not rounded or sanded down and it’s just sharp as all heck, digging into your wrist at all times. I wear mine slightly looser than I’d want for this very reason.
