Got this for 15th anniversary. Absolutely love it.
My husband gave me this watch as a Christmas gift. He knew I wanted a new watch, and he picked this one out all by himself. I really love the rose gold accents, and the "bling" of the crystals. It is a classy watch, and just the right size face for my small wrist. Love it.
I really think the watch dial is a work of art. The minimal use of the copper color gives it the right amount of interesting detailing, while the swirling pattern from the center sets it apart from its peers. The other watch that I almost picked out was a white ceramic face, but that dial was huge and overwhelming: when you think of the Goldie Lock effect, this watch gets it just right. I also prefers rectangular shaped dials to round ones, but one in that shape was not available. The date window was too small for me to make out the number, and I would have preferred a wrist band with larger and polished/interesting links (but less ostentatious). I would also rather have this watch in titanium instead of stainless steel, don't mind paying more for it. All in all, your pricing was very right on wallet, and this is my 3rd eco-drive watch. I can't rate the quality accurately until I've had the watch for a few years. The glass surface of my existing eco-drive watches were prone to scratches.
I purchased my first Citizen eco-Drive a few years ago in rose gold tone because I was going poor replacing batteries in my other watches (I own way too many) and it's still going strong. When I was in the market for a new silver watch, I decided to look at the Citizen eco-Drive and found this watch. i wanted bling on the band and since I also have small wrists, I prefer watches that aren't oversized. This looks great on my wrist and I get compliments on it whenever I wear it. Love the sparkle and the touch of contrast on the numeral markers; very pretty without being overdone.
