The watch is awesome, I have gotten several comments on its looks. The only disappointing thing is the clasp tends to pinch my wrist at times. This watch is a must purchase for the price.
Great watch. Strap not so great. The release button digs in to my wrist when strap is tight enough to keep it from rotating. Also abit short on strap length for me.
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.
I wanted to try a Citizen and was intrigued by the technology on this one so I stepped up. I am quite pleased with my purchase and would buy another Citizen.
This is a gorgeous watch that has exceeded my expectations. The deep green face with rose gold frame and accents are striking. The leather band is also quite nice, though just a tad bit stiff. This watch really does have it all in terms of complications. It keeps time (including a small 24-hour hand), date, day of the week. It also has a chronograph and alarm (though I've never used it). The radio-controlled feature syncs the time each night with the atomic clock signal, and is usually successful here in the US. It is perpetual to the year 2100, so it keeps the date accurate (even handles leap years) and accounts for daylight savings time automatically. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching one of the helpful YouTube videos when setting this watch up. You need to be patient as it takes maybe 15-20 minutes to get everything properly set, but afterwards the watch truly takes care of itself. This watch features a sapphire crystal face and is water resistant up to 200m. Style-wise it looks good with just about anything. Lots of bang for the buck in a very reasonably-priced watch. Highly recommend!!
I've had this watch now for a couple of weeks. Why everyone wants a review immediately after buying anything is beyond me, but my first impressions are good. The watch does what it's supposed to do. It is beautiful. The strap is heavy duty and will take a while to break in, but that's a good thing. The manuals available can be confusing as there are mixed up descriptions that, I'm guessing, include other similar watches. If you are patient and spend time with them you can sort things out. For instance it does have a chronograph function, but the manual depicts the minute hand on the small face (has the day on it) with minute markings. This watch does not have those markings, and yet it still will function as a chronograph...not too useful. At any rate it is a very nice watch.
A great watch, east to read the hand movement and dial face. Downloaded instructions were easy to follow.
Beautiful watch! It's my second Citizen and am very happy with both. Definitely a learning curve to setting these, but once you figure it out they are great.
The watch is exactly what is offered on the website—luxurious and casual at the same time.
