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 absolutely love this watch. It has a beautiful green dial and the GPS feature keeps great time, no more changing the date when the month has less than 31 days. I just wish they had a bracelet style watch band instead of a rubber style band. I bought a Citizen Strap 59-R00665 Promaster - Sailhawk bracelet band and it looks great with the watch.
Very nice watch in appearance and gps syncs quickly. Bezel feels a bit cheap in operation. Watches width and depth makes it too large for some work shirts. Lower button on my copy was tougher to operate than top button and with the shirt fit issues I returned.
