I've never, and I mean NEVER, had a nice watch. As a millennial, I've always used my phone or apple watch to tell time. However, like many, I've always appreciated the art of a well-crafted watch but could never afford it. This model, however, totally hit all my checkmarks. Eco-Drive, 200m Water Resistance, Fun Complications, Modern Styling and importantly for a first-time buyer, "Made in Japan." If you're able to take advantage of the generous sale going on right now, I couldn't recommend this watch more if you're looking for your first nice, "grownup" watch, like I was. The only knock I'll give it is that I wish it came with a bracelet instead of the band. But a 22mm replacement is fairly easy to find.
I have the watch for 2 weeks now,and it is so much better looking in real than on the pictures. The finishing of the watch is excellent and it is wearing super comfortable.
I recently purchased this watch from Japan, as it is out of stock here for the moment. I love the color, the easy to read dial face, and the GPS timezone and time sync. It is the kind of utilitarian beauty that I love in an EDC tool. An excellent dive watch and daily wear watch. There are cheaper Citizen GPS versions, which are very attractive, but I find them difficult to read. The bezel is well fit and positive. The titanium case is a plus; durable and lightweight. Negatives? The watch is slightly thicker than the other SatelliteWave watches, but that is to be expected in a dive watch. Tritium vice Lume paint would be nice, although when "charged" with bright light this watch outshines the other Lume paint watches IMHO. I recommend this for anyone who travels, dives, or who desires extreme accuracy under adverse conditions. My new favorite watch.
This is the best GPS/satellite wave watch produced in the last few years. The Seiko Astrons, which I own and am highly familiar with, can't touch this piece. First, these Citizens generally speaking are more user friendly. Second, they are typically less expensive. Third, they have a better build/quality. Fourth, Seiko doesn't produce GPS divers. I can go on. This piece has the most vivid green dial for a sub-$5,000 watch. The pure snow-white hands are executed flawlessly. The strap is buttery smooth. Everything about this piece exudes beauty, quality, and perfection. They are still available with Japan sellers on ebay and Chrono24, so I highly recommend anyone considering this piece to purchase it asap.
