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 Bianca on a leather band is a beautiful watch, the leather band added a class that is lacking in the bracelet styles which read cheap. The touch of art deco design and beveled sapphire crystal are beautiful. The watch is comfortable on the wrist. I have no experience with Eco Drive so I cannot speak to the performance yet vs an automatic or manual. The closure ruins this watch and almost prompted a return a few times. Citizen needs to decide if this model will be a buckle or butterfly closure. Both are completely unnecessary and a bit foolish, and a very frustrating. You will need at least 3 hands and loads of patience to accomplish the proper fit, and then pray you never have to adjust that fit. I wonder if Citizen is trying too hard with this style? It’s a $300 watch. A nice $300 watch but still a buckle clasp would suit fine for the watch and save many folks unnecessary rage. The butterfly clasp is redundant and out of place with this style. I highly recommend the leather version of the Bianca but consider the clasp seriously before purchasing.
This is the perfect size watch for my small wrist. I love the black face and band with the tiniest of sparkles. I'm giving this 4 stars because I don't love the band closure. I thought it was a typical belt type closure, but the clasp makes the band bulky and uncomfortable. May have to replace this at a later date.
