Got it as a gift- Love the watch, but the reason I gave it only 4 stars is because I think Citizen went out and asked someone to design the most uncomfortable band they could. Difficult to even put on and the band itself is rather short so if you have a larger wrist you may find it a tough fit. I have owned several Citizen watches - this is the first one I rated lest than 5 stars
Great watch. The band or strap is terrible. The intent of quick release on a typical leather strap is noble. Unfortunately the implementation is a disaster. The metal quick release maintains constant pressure on the inside of your wrist and digs into the soft tissue next to your veins. Contacted Citizen and requested a replacement strap. Disappointing response no replacement or solution provided. I own 20 Citizen watches and this strap is not representative of typical Citizen quality. Very disappointed that Citizen would not provide a simple leather strap as a replacement. Citizen claim was they had none??
It was a gift for my partner, and he loved it. The design is perfect for everyday wear and for more formal occasion. I had a couple of doubts when buying it. I though that it was a little too pricy but, when we receive the actual product, I was smiling. My partner had a larger smile. It's beautiful, a real pearl. Easy to set up with YouTube videos, it only took like ten minutes to be sure that it was working correctly. I really approved this product.
I know I have purchased an excellent master piece from Citizen. I expect great quality and the looks and functionality of the watch demonstrates that. Highly satisfied. I totally recommend this for anyone looking for Class wrist watch.
