I bought this watch after seeing it featured in People magazine. It’s a classic timepiece and I especially like the eco movement so no batteries have to be replaced. I own three other Citizen watches and wanted rectangular face because it’s so timeless. I love the sapphire crown pin. Others have commented on the bracelet style band but I like it, probably because I have another watch (different brand)with the same enclosure and am used to it already. As for the color, it’s a grayish black that works with black, gray or navy so that’s also a plus for me. The face is a little smaller than what I was expecting so be prepared for a dainty time piece, but you won’t regret owning a classy watch from Citizen.
Color is not what I expected! I thought it is black and white. But it turned out very yellow and grey. I am confused. The quality is great so I’d like to replace this if this was mistakenly sent wrong item. If it is correct one, they should change the picture on the website. And I’d like to return.
It is gorgeous and classy! However, the number 4 is not rightly printed following the Roman numeral system. It should be “IV” instead of “IIII”. Unfortunately I only realized this after I had already taken off all the tags, so I am not sure if I can return it.
Citizen Response
Overall, I am happy with the Bianca L. The strap is not a true black but more of a muddy brown-gray color, and the apple leather doesn't look high-end enough in my opinion. I plan to have it replaced with a genuine leather strap in true black. I also dislike the butterfly clasp system, preferring a classic buckle. The face is quite small, but ultimately it's a beautiful watch. The blue cabochon is a nice touch and I've enjoyed wearing it so far.
This is beautiful and certainly perfect for a time when you need to dress up a bit. The only thing I am not a fan of is the butterfly clasp as it's trickier for me. The band is a grayish color, not black, but the watch is quite nice.
This beautiful watch is exactly what I was looking for; it is classy and well made. Very glad it runs using Eco Drive.
This watch is way smaller than the advertising pictures show. And that was the reason I returned it. But the build quality is outstanding. It is worth the asking price.
Beautiful, refined, elegant dress watch
Teh watch is beautiful. This will be a graduation present for my daughter. Can't wait to see her expression when she opens the box!
A beautiful time piece. I like the blue cabochon on the crown. I would like all citizen watch to have this beautiful blue cabochon crown. It makes the watch more Sophisticated In my opinion. The leather strap is nice but it's not black,it's more like a Muddy dark grey. I would like this same style in sliver tone with the White dial black strap.
I love rectangular watches. This is my 3rd ECO Drive and It's beautiful. Classic design, with citizens movement and efficiency. So happy with purchase.
