Received the watch direct through Citizen’s website and it came with defects. There is a dent/dip on the side of the case. This is obviously poor finishing. There are scratches on the aluminum bezel. I’m not sure what’s going on with the hand tag either. “Eco-drive-auto dive”? It’s a shame because this watch had minimal dust under the crystal and the bezel was aligned. Returning it for a refund.

Constructed light but tough. Dial clear and easy to read. Wish it had a 120 instead of a 60 click bezel. Crown too small. Rubber strap is nice and ideally long. Great everyday time pieces with rugged qualities. I'm happy
I really love the watch and it’s so pretty. I love that it has sapphire glass case and it’s automatic. I wish it had leather strap instead of plastic but it’s ok since I’ll just buy a leather strap.
I think it’s very good, but it would be great if they could provide complementary citizen bracelet for the price. But overall it’s a handsome watch.
Comfortable, light, beautiful even from across the room; sporty and elegant at the same time; you can wear it everyday or at a special ocassions; and with an interesting story.
Awesome watch! Keeps time well within the spec. Titanium is very light and comfortable. Lume is excellent. The dive bezel is a little muted and I wasn't crazy about it at first, but it's since grown on me, especially considering how good the rest of the watch is. The rubber strap leaves something to be desired, but with 20mm lugs it's a strap monster. Overall, excellent quality, could not be happier with my purchase!

Bought one and was so impressed with the quality and feel that I quickly purchased another one. A solid watch that can be had for under $500.00. There really is no competition for this watch at this price point. And when you can buy two for the price of one that isn't even Titanium it's hard to pass up.
Great everyday watch, that looks great and feels comfortable. I have gotten compliments on how nice it looks! Definitely love it.
I am extremely happy with this watch. I love dive style watches and have several but this one ticks so many boxes for me that it hasn't left my wrist since purchasing it. It's light, it's thin, it's highly legible and has fantastic lume. When I first saw it I thought the crown was a little small, but after living with it, it doesn't bother me at all. I've since swapped out the rubber strap for a Maratac Zulu strap and love how it wears. The supplied strap was very good, but the keepers liked to wander and it felt a bit bulky. This leads me to my only "complaint". Citizen, PLEASE add drilled lugs to this watch. I would buy it again as is, but drilled lugs would send it over the top. I'd love to be able to install heavy duty spring bars to compliment the Zulu strap but without drilled lugs they are a beast to remove. This watch is a home run as is. Drilling the lugs would make it a grand slam.
Have been wearing it for a few months now. Enjoy the light weight and the strap is comfortable. Impressed with the quality, nothing misaligned on the dial 😁. Recommend this one for sure.
Great features, great watch. The movement is superb. Lightweight too.
My favorite new diver. Light and versatile and great price point. I’m wearing it much more than my Pelagos 39!
Great watch; keeps good time very light weight. Highly recommend.
I love this diver! It’s a proper size for my average wrist, and the titanium case is very comfortable and light. The rubber strap is supple and assures the watch can be a daily wear in all conditions. This Miyota movement is keeping excellent time. This is a classic looking diver, and a great value!
Really nice watch super lightweight and keeps fantastic time gaining a couple seconds a day seems like it is cosc time

Citizen Response
Great quality crystal and case. Runs about 8 seconds fast per day. For the price I would expect it to keep better time than my $40 Timex watch.
I Like this watch as an automatic, but the Band is not good for this watch, too thin just not suitable for this watch
Great looking watch. Light wears well. It is a perfect size. Great price on sale. Would give a 4 or 5 star but out the box it is running 15-16 seconds fast. Technically I know it is within spec but I expected no more than 5 seconds fast.
Excellent diver! Great movement and accuracy. Love everything about it except that it’s half finished. Why is there no bracelet offered for this black model. Is Citizen not a large enough company to offer a complete product. Why only on the blue model??? Ridiculous!

This watch looks great, and is very light thanks to the titanium. The bezel action is satisfying, no play once in position. The bezel could have a little more grip, but you’re not going to have issues turning the bezel. Some reviews I’ve seen complain about a loud rotor, you can’t hear it unless you’re in a quiet room actively trying to shake the watch to wind it. Lume is great too. If you’re thinking about this one, I doubt it would let you down.
Have really loved this watch. Sizing it spot on, classic styling, and the titanium is a great choice for the reissue. I like the strap. It's pliable, matches the case structure, and overall it fits me really well. Could be slightly shorter but it's not a deal breaker for me at all. The color matched date wheel (silver) is excellent attention to detail. The bezel has a nice quiet action. Light and responsive. I'm not crazy about the polished tone of the bezel. Like the aluminum insert. The crystal chamfer is a really nice touch. To Citizen: to make this hit so much harder I would improve the following 1. AR coating on the underside of the crystal. The way the crystal is cut and the smaller dial dimensions it would greatly add to the legibility of the watch. 2. Increase the crown sizing by 2-3mm. It is anemic as it stands. That's it. A bigger crown, AR coating, shorter strap, and you have an amazing watch! Keep up the good work. I'll continue to wear this regardless of the slight niggles.
Great little diver. Received it yesterday and I really love the light titanium. Bezel action is smooth and with perfect tension albeit quiet (which doesn’t bother me at all). Good feedback and plenty of grip despite what I had read in other reviews before purchasing. Everything lines up perfectly. The glass is excellent. The bevel does add a little distortion towards the edge of the dial. It’s not the most legible diver out there imo but it has that vintage vibe that it is going for. For me it’s a win. The only negative is the crown. It is criminally small. Not quite sure why citizen went with this style. A little bigger and it would have been a 5/5. The strap seems to be of good quality. A little long if anything. I’d shorten it by 1 cm. Overall a fun diver and my first Citizen.
Great watch. The crown could be a tad bigger but it’s not a deal breaker by any means. The bezel is alright despite online reviews saying otherwise. Besides the small crown, I like everything else about this watch. It’s lightweight. The lume is awesome. The case is a perfect size for my 7.5” wrist. I am happy overall with the watch.
