I find reading the time on my watch during the day difficult because the hands and numbers blend into the white background. Returning the watch was challenging due to issues between the Citizen warehouse and UPS. Despite my prompt return, the warehouse rejected the delivery, claiming that UPS had damaged the watch. As a result, the watch was returned to me, and I had to figure out a way to send it back to Citizen. To make matters worse, Customer Care arranged for UPS Ground shipping, even though the agreement specified a Priority shipment. This whole process could have been much simpler and more customer-focused.
I really like the design of this watch with the white dial but prefer ecodrives more. Don't wear watches every day and this automatic loses power reserve. Too much trouble resetting time, date, etc. I regret buying this watch.
Great watch, and well made. I would’ve given it 5 stars but the laser engraved logo on the back of the case has rubbed the hair the hair off my wrist…..perhaps it was etched a little too deep? You can definitely feel the roughness of it.
It looks beautiful on my wrist. Wears like the watches I've worn before. A minor dislike is that I cannot tell the time in the dark without luminous hands exposed to light first.
A very handsome watch! Perfect size for me. Fast service and delivery,
The classic almost retro look of the white face and black bezel is what drew me to this watch. It is a unique look, and I don't have any other watches with this design. I think the 44mm size is about perfect - the watch is easy to read, and comfortable to wear. As with most watches, it looks better in person than in the on-line photos. I don't have experience with Citizen automatics, but if it is reliable as my Eco-Drive watches I'm sure I'll enjoy this watch for years. If there was an Eco-Drive watch with this design, I would have purchased it instead, but there is not. I had been looking at this watch for a while. I did not need another watch but decided to pull the trigger and I am glad I did. I purchased it from a major on-line retailer which improved the value equation.
I have never been disappointed with a Citizen watch. I truly like the automatic ones best and I have been wanting this watch for a while. Very happy with it.
An extremely nice watch with just as much fit-and-finish as my Rolex Submariner. Weight is comparable, crown locks down in same manner, and watch has a nice hacking movement. As shipped, watch is a little large requiring one link to be removed. Overall, a great watch !!
