I researched before buying my first diver and I’m very happy with this watch. The look to me is classic, it has precise bezel movement and the resetting was a breeze. The placing of the crown on the 4:00 position was something that I wanted to have in a watch and am glad I found in this diver.
I love the style, functionality, and comfort of this watch. My only recommendation would be to include specific instructions for time & date adjustments. I wasn’t able to pull out the winding “knob” and thought about trying pliers. An internet search of other brands said to spin the knob counter-clockwise. When I did that, the knob popped out allowing me to reset the date! Instructions did not mention this! I could have ruined the watch with pliers.

This watch is very nice i like the crown at the 4oclock position as it doesnt get hung on jackets or working in small spaces as much, its stylish, practical, and sturdy for my industry, the only thing that stops me from giving it a 5th star is its size. Its a bit smaller than I would like at 37.5mm its made for smaller wrists and though I do have a small wrist for a man I believe it should be sold in a 39mm or even a 40mm. (To be honest only writing this review in hopes citizen design team sees it and starts making this exact watch in larger sizes so next time I go to buy a watch i can buy this one only larger lol)
I have the larger model and love the watch, but i have small wrists. I ordered the smaller model and only to find that it to small, which was my fault as a should have seen that the band is much narrower than the one i have. Wish it would have worked, but at least I have the larger model.
