The watch is built well, but setting basic functions like the time etc, shouldn’t be that difficult. Citizen needs to hire a new watch designer.
I bought this watch a month and half ago. I wore it for 3 DAYS ONLY. Now I do admit that I wore this watch to work, and I work in a factory that has chemicals in it. BUT, for CITIZEN to tell me and the Jeweler who sent the watch back to them, that this is NORMAL is WRONG. Like I said, this is just 3 DAYS of wearing it and you can see in the photo the scuff and the silver showing through on the black band. My Jeweler paid to have the band replaced, but I think this is pretty POOR SERVICE from CITIZEN. I will say that the watch and the workings are very nice, but I am sure that the black on the outside of the watch will come off in no time as well, and my Black Watch will become a Stainless steel watch on it's own.
This watch is great. It has the functions I wanted and the Eco Drive is awesome. However, I had to return it after 2 weeks of daily wear. The crown needs some re-engineering. When wearing it, it is large enough and exposed enough to catch on skin or my cuffs. This pulls it out and spins the settings until I realize it and push it back in. After dealing with this a couple times every day, I had to return it. I did not want to buy this is a defect I cannot live with. Citizen, please fix this and sell me a new version.
