This watch appeals to both my own tech aesthetic, and to my wife’s fashion sense, which is surprising because her tastes are patently un-tech. I think the rose gold, the understated complexion of the olive face, and the leather band, soften the watches’ hi-tech character. The watch arrived superbly packaged. Citizen makes the online manual easy to find. When you’re sizing and locking the band the first time do it over a table. It’s a comfortable wear- you will feel the expected heft of this watch. The crown and push buttons operate smoothly. The look and feel is of a quality precision timepiece. Read the manual. For techies, the fun of such a timepiece is adjusting the time zone when traveling, checking on power reserve, and understanding how radio time synchronization works. My other watches are Tag and Breitling mechanicals. My new Citizen PCAT enhances my collection with its striking presentation and modern technology features. I’m so pleased to own it.
I was very disappointed when I received the watch . The catalog shows a very beautiful medium green white is what I wanted but upon examining the watch it looks to be black. Only under extreme light and really studying it closely is there a very slight hint of green. I truly love these watches and have 3 at present. I am only disappointed in the color and have returned it.
Love the watch. I was unaware that Eco-Drive watches were powered by light and will never need a battery. That was refreshing. I also had a difficult time setting the watch. Found out where the flagship store was here in NYC, went down and the two sales ladies were extremely helpful in showing me exactly what I was too lazy to do myself and assisted me with a YouTube video. Watch has since been a godsend.
I really like the look of the watch, its been working really well, but the watch band just kinda sucks, the metal part of the clasp just digs into my wrist and I can not get it to be comfortable
I will say this. 5 stars for the watch. The strap, a failure. I decided to keep the watch but only because a watchmaker friend changed the strap to a much better quality one. Citizen should definitely be guided by the opinions of people who trust this brand and still buy its products. I am convinced that my next choice will be to buy a watch in a store, not online. Greater comfort and the awareness that I am choosing something I am convinced of seeing it with my own eyes. 4 stars rating only because of this unfortunate strap.
Absolute quality. This is top of the line utilitarian timekeeping for every regular man. From checking the day, date, and/or time, to adjusting any of the displays, all in one beautiful art piece. p.s. If you don’t like two-tone straps, changing it is as easy as changing your shirt.
Good service, although he never understands the difference between paying for premium shipping when it was regular shipping. Even so, the watch is very pretty and of very good quality. It is heavy and the sphere does not look as green as in the photo, which I think is fabulous.
In the last 7 weeks, I have acquired 7 new Citizen Eco-drive watches. That completes my DOZEN. The PCAT has the same movement as my most cherished Attesa. The PCAT is very attractive and does everything I need a watch to do, including setting itself.
Love this watch. It goes with pretty much any outfit. I wear it with slacks, dress shoes, tie and button-up shirt to work almost daily, but I can easily wear it with casual clothes. The leather band with green face and gold accents are fantastic. I've gotten many compliments on it.
