I love this watch. Rugged good looks, good balance of analog/digital, strong lume, useful functions (multi-time zones, chrono, timer, alarm), eco-drive power. The original strap is good looking, but as others have pointed out, it is too stiff. The stiffness of the strap puts pressure on the sides of the wrist and elevates the watch above the wrist, preventing it from laying flat against the wrist. I tried breaking in the strap over a couple of months. It got a little better, but I finally decided to swap it with a Marine Nationale strap that matches perfectly and is super comfortable.
my husband loved the watch.
What a great watch! Not too heavy, not too big, great color, feels great on the wrist and looks awesome! Only thing is the strap needs some breaking in but once that breaks in, the fit is just right!
It's a great watch with just the right number of functions—not overly complicated. I knew I would purchase it when it was announced six months before it was available. The readability in dark or dim light is excellent. The only "complaint" I have is the extremely stiff watchband. I had to purchase a similar-appearing, thin watchband that fits my smaller wrist. It has become the favorite of the many Citizen watches I own.
