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.
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.
