I was STOKED to buy this watch. I already own the 50th Anniversary Edition Super Titanium watch and love it, so naturally I wanted this one too. Well, I have owned the watch for less than two weeks and the finish is already wearing off on locking clasp. This is extremely disappointing for a watch that costs $3500.
Citizen Response
I didn't want to spend the money but I'm glad I did, I'm picky about the esthetics of things like this especially for the value. I love this watch, however I wish there was a durable or replaceable transparent cover for the image on the back. After just a week of normal wear the band has caused several fine scratches in the acrylic image on the inside when I am not wearing it. The clasp has also gotten some scratches pretty easily and I've been very careful not to damage it. Maybe I overestimated the coating, I just didn't expect fine scratches to occur so soon with all the hype about titanium strength and the coating applied. Utilities, style, and functionality are exactly what I wanted in this watch.
This limited edition satellite watch is a very alluring, very unique timepiece. Only 1000 of these have been made worldwide, though the fact they are un-numbered is somewhat disappointing given the cost. The look of both the watch face and wristband give impressions of what the lunar surface may be like. Considering the cost, beauty and intricacy of this watch they could have been lengthier and more detailed in their writeup. Citizen watches of 1/4 the cost include a much more detailed description of their watches and features. I would love to know more of the back story of this watch which accounts for it's value. Nonetheless, this limited edition, masculine timepiece will be proudly displayed on my wrist and dresser for many years to come.
The watch is amazing. The satellite wave keeps it very accurate and the super titanium keeps it very light on the wrist.
