Excelent watch so happy I just love it. It is a little bulky but it looks great.
I own two Citizen watches, I bought one for my wife, and my first Citizen watch died recently after 14 years of service. (I didn't try to repair it - I wanted a newer model.) I like never having to replace a battery and never having to set it. Compared to my radio controlled PCAT style watch, this watch is so muct simpler. It is great for casual situations and great for traveling. If you are looking for no-fuss reliability, simple and straight-forward operation without complication, then look no further. What I like - satellite affordability, ease of use, citizen reliability, never having to worry about setting anything other than changing to/from daylight savings time. What I don't like - the low contrast between the dial and the hands.
I am from Australia and purchased this watch from Holland America line. This watch at over $600-00 US for me, was not a cheap purchase, due to the exchange rate. Keeps great time, and if you download the quick manual, is not too bad to navigate all the functions. This watch is particularly handy for someone who travels across country a lot, through different time zones. Very accurate it it's timekeeping. If you buy this particular model, the 150 then make sure you get a torch with the watch purchase. That is how bad the lumes are on this watch. I cannot understand Citizens thinking, on not having luminous markings around the dial. There are a lot of people out there that purchased this watch, love it, but are sorely disappointed with the way it can.t be read in the dark. I have never had a watch before, that is only for daytime use. Another thing is, If you live in America or Mexico, you get a 5+1 year warranty. I got none, even though I was told it was an International warranty. I took the onboard sales mans word for this . Silly me. Still a great watch, not brilliant , due to it's lack of Lumes.
Ive had mine for a year now and love this watch, i have the red discontinued model, i wish the wands would hold light linger, my only complaint.
This is a very classy looking and watch. The red accents on the dial and strap make this watch stand out, and the simple analog design gives it a classic look. One of the best features of this watch over other Citizen watches I have owned is the GPS time synchronization, which allows the watch to keep near perfect time on an ongoing basis. I have owned this watch for about one month now, and it still is accurate to the second. Setting the time and date, checking the charge level, and some other lesser functions are relatively straightforward, but one must read the detailed instructions to learn how to do these various tasks. The instructions initially appear to be somewhat complex, but the user manual is well organized and everything is well documented in the appropriate level of detail. However, the one thing I am disappointed in is the quality of the rubber strap which is subpar for a watch in this price range. I think it feels relatively cheap, and I would not expect it to wear well over time. In my opinion, a better option would be a black leather strap with red accents, or the black ion plated stainless steel bracelet that comes with this same watch with either the blue or green accents. I actually purchased the black ion plated stainless steel bracelet separately and had it put on the watch by a authorized Citizen jeweler. The watch now feels more solid and actually looks like a $750.00 watch.
NIce watch, but not easy to set. Setting it yourself is doable, but the easy pull the crown and wind will not work. Follow the steps and don't get creative.
I like the watch except the rubbber strap which feels a bit cheap for the price (hopefully this won't crack soon). Some info on the dial are not easy to read when setting this up (needed to use flashlight in my room). Overall I still like it, I like the design and the timezone. Hopefully this will last because this is my 1st Citizen watch added in my collection.
So far it's an amazing watch I would purchase more of this type if the colors were different I have the blue and now red I enjoy both of them
Pros: Great looking watch .Keeping accurate time Cons: Impossible to read in dark.
