The blue is much lighter than in the picture and because of that the thin silver hands are very hard to read. I really like the size, style, thinness and comfort. But I cannot recommend it because it is difficult to read and that the photos on the web site misrepresent the watch.
You get what you pay for, and this is among the more reasonably priced solar quartz's out there. Works perfectly and looks nice. But the face is impossible to read in all low lights because of the incredibly poor lume. All but unusable at night.
While I appreciate the slim profile, the rest of the watch is lackluster. The design is basic without being elegant. The band and the finishes feel cheaper than anticipated for this price point. If you’re looking for a slim profile, the Stiletto collection offers better designs and value.
I love the looks of this watch, and it feels great on my wrist. Admittedly, I am a Citizen fan and think Eco-Drive is the most livable watch movement. My only complaint is the strap color. I wish the watch shipped with a black strap, rather than the blue.
