I've been in the market for a year deciding on the perfect time piece. Naturally Citizen was in the running; their reputation, selection of styles, and the solar feature won me over. Unfortunately upon arrival, the weekender is flimsy, feels and looks cheap, and artificially shiny (UGH). I returned promptly. I gave two stars because they got the fit right and shipping was prompt.
It broke within the first few days of having the watch
Too big. I returned it because I really want a smaller watch.
Watch arrived incredibly fast! This is my second Citizen Eco Drive, the first being a gift. I'm very impressed by the technology so I wanted to get another watch in the colour of my choice. Comparing the two (the first one was given to me in the early 2000s, before 2010), the first watch feels more premium and made of quality parts. This one, in gold, looks obnoxiously shiny gold like it's fake and trying too hard, and it's so light I wonder if it's even steel. Nonetheless, the watch face itself is stunning and I like the size - not too big or small.
