Purchased this watch and the band is very uncomfortable. Citizens offers no alternatives and other bands do not fit due to the curvature of the watch case. I tried for a while to see if i got used to it but i then could not return it. I purchased an aftermarket silicon band but they do not fit. Now i am stuck with this watch that i cannot wear. I was very unhappy with the service provided when i called. The answer was basically too bad. Try other bands and see if you can find one that fits.
