I bought this in October 2022, I like how it looks online. But when I got it out had some minor scratches on the back plate, which was no big deal, but a like a month or two later it broke. My minute hand was not in sync with the digital. So I sent it for repair and when I got it back from Citizen my digital display is now black numbers with white background instead of the white numbers with black background.
I have had this watch for about eight months and I love it as much as the first day I owned it. It is a beautifully made and finished piece - everything about its assembly and the way it feels on your wrist - from the tactile feeling of the pushers to the knurled finishing (I have the blue/silver version) and the quality of the anodizing just says "QUALITY." It is fun to wear, beautiful to look at, and very very functional. It is not difficult to set the time, calendar, world time, countdown time and everything else, but the best thing to do is follow the manual step-by-step and familiarize yourself with all the features and functions while you "bond" with it. In fact, I would download the manual *specific to the movement* - not just the setting instructions PDF this webpage links to. The movement manual is clearer and better! This is caliber U706 and if you go to Citizen's instruction page, select "U" and you will see the U706 PDF. Please take my word for it. I have the original band and I've also got a beautiful NATO for it. Bottom line: it's not overpriced. It's 20 Bar (200 M) water resistant. It can stand up easily to occasional knocks and bangs without scratching anything. It's not too heavy and not too light (esp. with a NATO or a leather strap.) It *is* a bit complicated like some other models like a Blue Angels Promaster, and you will find that a little time spent familiarizing yourself is well spent. I would buy it again in 1/1000th of a second! Oh, and the supplied case is "post-apocalypse durable."

This is my third eco drive Citizen's watch. Everyone is top quality. Although the SST doesn't have satellite setting, this is the most attractive one. Easy to set if you just follow instructions and super accurate performance. I just had to change the daylight savings and it took less than 20 seconds. You should love this watch.
Fantastic watch It becane my daily very quickly. The presentation was fantastic. Delivery quivk and prifessional. Made out of the box YouTube it was so good. The weight and balance is perfectly done. I like to feel the watch i am wearing.
