I ordered this watch from the Citizen website. It was very much smaller than it looked on the screen. When I tried to put it on I couldn't get the metal fastener that works with the leather strap open. I had to call customer support to figure out how to get it open. The metal fastener under the leather strap looks awful. It ruins the leather strap look. I had to return the watch. What a let down. My how things have changed. I have a 20 year old eco drive metal band watch that still works perfectly and that I love; however, I won't buy any Citizen watch again unless I'm in a store and can see, touch and try it on.
I bought this watch to replace mine that I sent in to be repaired. I liked my original watch but couldn't find a similar one. Unless you have a degree in how to make this work, it is a lesson in frustration- I could not get the band to work to adjust it or even open it; and I had a difficult time setting the time. I am sorry I bought it!
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.
Love this watch! Classy and elegant.
Classic and beautiful
Classy watch for work, dinner - not fancy for wedding. The band pulls in black/gray/blue tones. Band is slightly thinner than pictures. Very happy with this purchase.
The watch is amazing and elegant! It is shining the owner for her taste. The function is driven by Eco, which means you never need to worry about a shortage or battery at a sudden moment. This is a great watch, especially for professional women.
Beautiful watch, delicate yet makes a statement. Very happy with my purchase!!!
