getting the time to properly set only happened once since I purchased this watch. I've followed the manual (downloaded pdf) to the letter and the analog display won't sync up with the digital. I tried the radio-autosetup a few times. the analog is 20 minutes behind the digital, which is correct. I tried the full reset twice. literally no effect. I'll check with support but right now, it's disappointing to have this nice-looking watch while I check my phone for the correct time.
I have this watch and enjoy the Eco Drive and atomic clock update features, BUT, the mineral crystal scrathes too easily. If you are an average person, you can count on sending this watch to Citizen to get the crystal replaced. AND, Citizen does not offer a sapphire crystal for this model or my Blackfaced Navihawk. Over the years, I have had five crystals replace on my Blue Angel and Navihawk watches. Sad quality deficiency to the most visible part of their watches! The crystal! An unnecessary weakness to superbly functional timepieces! Please see the pit mark in the mineral crystal of my watch. Citizen must work to improve the quality of these crystals!
I received this watch as a Chritmas gift. I already ownba few others from Citizen because I really like the automatic charging. I think the concept of the watch is a good one - though I the execution is not that good. The band isnt fully woven, it has a few removeable links on either side of the clasp which ruins the look of the band. The watch face is extermely busy, I actually need my glasses to see the characters clearly. My biggest disappointment is the low quality LCD displays used, they look cheap and they're hard to read. Even though I'm not lovin' the design I know the durability and performance are going to be top notch and because I received it from one of the most important people in my life it'll be one of my favorites this year.
