Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, the nighttime special feature doesn’t work, even after my watch has been sitting in the direct sun for one week. Too bad. It’s why I purchased the watch.
The watch itself is great and the girlfriend really likes it. Like others have said, what should be seen in the dark, does not appear in the dark. I asked the girlfriend if she wanted to to return the watch for another and she said she likes the watch just as it is.
Bought this for my wife’s birthday. The idea of the stars shining sold me. BUT the celestial night does not shine at all even after exposing to several days of sunlight. Disappointing. Will be sending back. I own about 30 citizen watches between myself and wife. 1st one to let me down. Three stars because it looks great.
I bought this watch a month ago. I did download the pdf manual and read it before my watch arrived. I did expose it to 30 hours of sunlight. The night fluorescence does work and the human eye best sees the stars and “M I C K E Y” when looking 2” away from the watch (similar to viewing stars in the sky looking off to the side.) The gold is gold, not rose gold.
