Amazing watch, clearly high quality. Looks and feels great. I get complimented on it nearly every day.
I love the Citizen PCAT models, I have several of the series! The radio controlled time and date, Eco-Drive power and the face colour and band all make this a very elegant piece I'll enjoy for years and years!
Love the watch, it is alittle confusing learning how everything works at first and the manual isn't that great at explaining it. I had to google how it was set up but once I figure everything out it is a pretty sick watch.
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.
This is probably the most expensive watch I’ll ever justifiably own. That being said, this is a thing of beauty. Radio-control feature is very near that syncs up your watch with an atomic clock, making it very accurate. I can confirm this because our work place clocks does the same, and it’s literally in sync down to the seconds hand moving at the same time. Perpetual calendar is also a neat feature, and also the world time zone features, handy when traveling. The only downside is the silly looking leather strap that tries to imitate a metal clasp. I happily replaced those with a Citizen traditional Leather Strap, and now it’s feels better on the wrist. Hopefully Citizen can replace the original leather strap with something more traditional, as it is the only thing that sucks about the watch. 4 Stars, only because of the strap I have to replace.
First and foremost, this watch is beautiful in style and esthetically pleasing. I bought it because of its appearance and because it is eco-driven with PCAT functionality. So, no battery and perfect timekeeping. On the minus side, the hands and hour markers should have a Tritium foundation. Also, the PDF instructions manual could have been written much better, emphasizing clarity. With use and patience, the complex instructions can be overcome. However, it is a foolish mistake not to spend a few more dollars using Tritium during actual production for the great benefit of the end user.
This CITIZEN PCAT watch is a gem. It looks terrific, but not gawdy. It has all the features of a good chronograph watch and is linked to receive atomic time signals. The price makes this purchase even better.
Lovely, elegant wristwatch. Packaged in a very sturdy cardboard box. It was set to West coast/ pacific time but it was easy to change it to EST. The date was correct! Concerns: the gift message was several sentences long. But, in between each sentence, were these characters, “
” making the entire message peculiar. Also, at this price point, instructions are only available on the web. A simple page of ‘how to’ instructions for the wristband and its adjustments would be very helpful. The setting instructions, included on the receipt/ gift message paper, were buried after the warranty, but before the returns in about a size 8 font. I dislike having to go online for instructions on a product that I have spent hundreds of dollars purchasing rather than having it provided with the product. A beautiful watch despite having to look elsewhere for the operating guide.
Bought this watch about a year ago. Really like the watch and its features especially the solar and setting features. Stopped wearing it as I hated the band which I replaced and now wearing it again. Have had a number of compliments on it since.
