This is my third citizen watch I have purchased and I don’t think I can wear any other brand. I must admit, I’m impulsive for buying three watches in roughly two months. I love the atomic time keeping feature, the eco drive and the perpetual calendar. I travel overseas a lot and to different parts of the country so all these features are useful as I can smoothly change to different time zones. Unfortunately with this watch, I was very disappointed with the deployment clasp that is being used because it’s extremely uncomfortable. It’s uncomfortable to a point the watch can’t be an everyday wear. I intend to replace the original strap with another one.
Like the the watch itself. My 4th Citizen, but can't stand the clasping system used on the strap. Can't wear it more than 15 min. before my wrist is irritated from the clasps. Never had that issue before.
the watch is great. It's not recommended to pull the crown while it's on your wrist, so you're better take it off if you wants to use the mode chrono. The watch band is a failure: it's 1cm thick, even if you let the leather softning, you'll stay with an unplesant feeling.
I bought this watch at the Hudson’s Bay Company about 8 days ago, and the clock face is now winding back and forth, and refusing to tell proper time. The second hand is stuck at 0 seconds and now the minute and hour hands do not work. It says in the product manual that a fully charged eco-drive watch should last 6 months or longer when charged under sunlight for half a day. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this. I would love to hear from Citizen directly about this issue and receive a refund.
