Never had a Citizen watch that I never got what I paid for. You would have to spend thousands to compare. ( I bought my citizen for $680 the same time I bought a $30,000 Rolex for my sister and she has brought it back a dozen times to be repaired. I have never took my citizen off my wrist for more than a day in 9 years ! Never had to take it off my wrist in 9 years ! Even the band is the same ! Can't say enough about Japanese time keeping !!!!
Used to have Citizen Echo Drive PCAT for 5 years with very bright glow at night up until last month that I lost it. searched citizen echo drives again and purchased Satellite Wave Freedom (blue) expecting to be as good as previous one or even better ( as far as night glow). Received my new watch and I am not happy and disappointed with NON -glow of my watch. Would like to return or exchange with similar category with better night glowing watch Please let me have your return policy or return label.

Only one drawback. Difficult to see the hands as blue does not contrast much with black face.
I bought this watch on a cruise ship less than 1 week ago for $600 USD. Already after 5 days of light use, it has three scratches in the raised mineral crystal. I was told it was sapphire by the sales rep and without an internet connection I couldn't do my own research. My mistake. I'd normally never spend that kind of money on a watch with a scratch prone crystal. The satellite feature is very cool and works great but If I can't see the hands than what's the point? Also the hands can't be easily seen at night, much worse than my older E650.
Outstanding piece of craftsmanship. I love the technology. A very well made little machine.
The only complaint I have is the lack of illumination in the dark
Bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas. He didn’t want to wait for Christmas Day so he opened it early. He absolutely loves it! Great design, superior quality. All around great watch. He watched the video to learn how to set it up. This was my first purchase from citizen and I’ll definitely purchase again.
I was looking for the perfect "combat ready" watch... eco powered, advanced technology, stealthy, tough and attractive--I found it in the Citizen Satellite Wave GPS Freedom watch
