Couldn't be more pleased. The radio control has been successful every night, even when I sleep with the watch on. It keeps perfect time with time.gov. Looks beautiful, I love the subtle green dial.
This is my second citizen eco drive. First was military style Garrison (BM8180-03E) and it is serving me well since 7 years. I bought the Promaster land green colored dial and am very impressed with the capabilities it comes with. Its also handsome looking watch no complaints whatsoever.

This is a really nice watch and I would definitely buy it again. Pros: 3-6-9-12 dial looks great Accurate automatic radio setting time, date Easy time zone change for traveling Compromises: stop watch is inconvenient compared to a dedicated chronograph watch. Don’t expect the alarm to wake you. Case size may be too large for wrists less than 7” though it is smaller looking than many smartwatches. Great looking bracelet, but it is a pin and collar bracelet, so learn about it before attempting to size it yourself. Have Citizen size the bracelet to a half inch larger than your wrist and then use the micro adjustments to size it. Err on the side of loose for comfort. A sharp pencil works to set the micro adjustment and will not scratch the clasp.

I bought this watch earlier this year. It is now my daily driver due to its accuracy, toughness and features. Highly recommended.
Overall an excellent watch. The metal band is the issue - The metal band links have slightly sharp edges which can be a little irritating as the watch slides back and forth across the skin. Beveling of the links' edges would have eliminated this and that is my main reason for not giving 5 stars. The instruction manual is not as clear as could be, so it takes a few tries to get things to work, but once done things go smoothly.

Really nice watch. Easy to read, attractive, and easy to set or adjust. Only a thing I would change would be to make it a Super Titanium.
Beautiful green face and details. I like that it gives day of week along with date. A bit heavy, could be improved with titanium, but overall an excellent watch!
This is my absolute favorite watch on the market! I got the black dial (which is sold out) but had to comment on how great this watch is. I am in the military and need a watch that can do it all, and this is it. This is a features rich watch, without all the busy-ness of similar atomic models, like the PCAT. The clean look of this model is classy. I have had buddy with Rolex’s and tudors ask me where I got it, and several family members bought one after seeing mine. The watch is always accurate to the second due to the radio sync, the alarm is a life saver, and small features like the day of the week and chronograph make this thing truly unique in the market. Especially for this price. This is my second citizen and if they keep models like this coming, it won’t be my last.

It has most features of the PCAT and large luminescent numbers. I like it! Only issue is that I would like it to be easier to get the right size and adjust the bracelet.
I recently bought this watch and am delighted with the features that it offers such as being light powered so no battery change is necessary; the day, date, month and year automatically updated as well as the time being kept accurate by the atomic clock in Colorado.
