This is my first real automatic watch and honestly I’m impressed. I’ve been wearing smartwatches for years, so switching to a mechanical timepiece felt like a big step but this Citizen completely won me over. The build quality is solid, the weight feels right on the wrist, and it looks way more expensive than it actually is. The automatic movement is smooth and satisfying to watch, and once you understand how to properly set AM vs PM, everything works exactly as it should. I’ll be honest I misunderstood the AM/PM setup at first, but after reading the booklet and learning how the date change cycle works, it made total sense. That’s on me, not the watch. I actually enjoy winding it and wearing something that doesn’t need charging. There’s something different about knowing it’s powered by movement instead of a battery. For anyone buying their first automatic watch, this is a great choice. It looks sharp, feels premium, and makes you appreciate time in a different way. I’m glad I chose Citizen for my first real watch definitely won’t be my last. Highly recommend.
Good looking comfortable watch. The right size for my wrist . Happy with it so far.
This is a fine piece of workmanship. The watch is excellent and look is great.
Watch is beautiful and has a surprising amount of luminescence in low light. Crown position is perfect for comfort and any one that needs to remove gloves while wearing the watch. This is a feature I didn't realize I needed while wearing the watch at work.
Amazing very happy with purchase 👍👍
Lume dial is very cool. Nice contrast between the DLC case and lume dial. Very comfortable on the wrist, and a great summer watch with the rubber strap.
I have been wearing a citizen eco drive for 20 years, the watch has never let me down. My ech drive continues to run flawlessly. So when I decided to purchase a new watch of course citizen was the only choice I wanted. I purchased the full loom ny0137-09a. What a fantastic watch, a true tool watch, capable of handling all the outdoor activities I will put it through. The watch wears nicely. I would say it wears about like a 42 mm despite being a 44mm. The dial is legible and clear, the loom is unbelievable, the bezel action is fantastic, and very interactive, lining up with indices and the pip at 12;00 quite well. when a watch looks and feels like it can go anywhere it becomes a part of gear that you do not have to worry about, there when you need it, always up for any environment, or challenge. The accuracy is much better than expected at this price point, running 6-10 seconds fast per day, for the price point I don’t think you can find a better time piece or tool watch.
The color on the all-lume face looks fantastic in the sun & in the dark. I was hoping it wouldn’t look sickly yellow, and it sure doesn’t. Looks almost white in the sun. The blue bezel is a perfect compliment to the blue band. Purchased this watch specifically to get wet (beach, boats). It’s my second Citizen automatic; just know that you’re leaving the Eco-Drive universe. Automatic watches are great, but you’ve gotta be ready to either wear it or, or set it each time you’ve given it a break. Great watch; looks so good I’m already shopping for other color variants of the Fugu model.
Great everyday watch and cannot beat the price
