I have small wrists and I am really happy with this watch! Love the graphic throw back art deco face. That’s what finally got me interested in the Bianca line after looking around for quite a while. I feel it compliments the shape of the case. I really appreciate that the crystal is sapphire because I’m clumsy, so I need that level of scratch resistance, and many of the comparable price point watches from citizen and others don’t necessarily have this feature. I’ve been wearing the watch every day for about a week now. The apple leather was a little stiff at first, but it’s starting to mold nicely to my wrist and soon I hope it will fit like a glove. Of course happy with eco-drive as always. My family loves Citizen watches for that. I’m getting used to this clasp style for a leather band. It’s so far comfortable and seems like it should be good for the longevity of the band.
The watch is beautiful and just the right size for my build and wrist size. Once I got used to it don’t mind the closure, in fact love how nice it looks. The only issue I have is how dark it is and how hard it is to read the time - hard even in the daytime, impossible in evening or night. For the cost of it there should be better light and you can’t even see the second hand So functionally I give it a 2 - if all you care about is fashion it is a 5.
This watch is even better looking in person since the depth of the case corner details is hard to see in the photos. My style is generally minimalistic so I was worried some of the art deco details might be a bit much, but the whole look is very refined. I love the smaller case, which is still easy to read at arm's length thanks to the black and white contrast. I found the clasp extremely comfortable and much easier to fasten than a regular leather strap buckle. But the reviews mentioning the small, short pin are accurate, and it took some patience to set the initial time. It did take a day or two for the apple leather band to soften its shape. But the leather feel was very soft and comfortable, and the watch felt great to wear from the start.
