Too complicated to setup and the buckle is hard too do as well plan on returning it.
Very hard to follow the instructions and setup
I am a huge fan of the Citizen Brand; however, the watch band on the PCAT is a horrible choice, It is uncomfortable and for that single reason alone, I returned the watch. I already have 6 Citizen Eco Drive watches and would definitely purchase more, but not any with the "new clasp" that comes with the PCAT.
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.

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??
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.
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.
