I ordered this watch thinking that it will be brighter and easy to read since its numbers are bigger. However, as soon as I got it, I realized it wasn't for me as I still find its background color too dark for my taste, so I ended up returning it. It's a pretty watch, it just doesn't suit me because I need a watch that has a brighter face which will be easier for me to see even at night.
Instead of blueish dial as on the picture, my dial is almost black providing poor time visibility.
I love my new watch. It’s stylish and attractive without being too “blingy”. My only issue with it was requesting a specific bracelet size on the website, and receiving the watch with too-small of a bracelet. It came with extra links, but I did have to pay to have it sized up, which I feel negated having the bracelet size request on the website. In all other regards, this watch suits me perfectly.
The band seems to run a bit small. I had a Citizen prior to this one and the size was fine. I am wondering if extra links are available. The very best thing is you never have to buy batteries!
i heard good reviews on your eco-drive watches,so I wanted to try one myself. I have been very satisfied with it.
The watch arrived right on time and I'm so thankful for the resizing Citizen offers right off the bat so I didn't have to take an extra trip to the jewelry store right before Christmas. My watch was ready-to-wear and resized right out of the box. It's a lovely navy blue face with easy-to-read hands. I'm not _that_ old but definitely have trouble reading smaller watch faces so this one is perfect. I'm loving it!
Watch was as advertised. It is sleek and eye catching and easy to operate.
This is my 2nd Citizens purchase. My first Eco Drive is still running after 7years of wearing 24 hours a day. I decided to purchase a new one because I wanted a metal band rather than a leather strap. Due to the fact that I wear my watch 24 hours a day a leather strap is not practical. The watch never last a minute in 7 years. I am so pleased with this brand. I had to go to a jeweler to size the band, I was unable to do it myself. I highly recommend a Citizen watch not only for its reliability but also for its classic looks.
