Simply stunning. This is a beautiful watch: Thin, yet sturdy, comfortable and of course accurate. I had been collecting mechanical watches. But I began to resent resetting them when I wanted to wear. So Citizen with its solar quartz is my new choice. And this watch with its beauty and cost was my latest choice. You will be happy.
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.
The watch works perfectly I have 4 Citizen watches, and they all work well. I now order Citizen watches to wear around the house.
I bought the blue/stainless version and love it. The case is wonderfully thin, comfortable, and lightweight. The dial is beautifully finished. This is my only watch without a seconds hand and I like it, especially for a quartz. I've been wanting a thin watch and an eco-drive, so this is perfect. The case is well done for the most part, but mine has a slight imperfection at twelve o'clock on the polished bezel that is visible from only some angles. I'll call it factory fresh patina and I'm sure I'll bang it up more before too long. The strap is leather and adequate, but certainly not a standout. Lugs are 21mm so aftermarket strap options are plentiful and I've already ordered a proper black leather one to better suit my taste. The lug to lug distance is less than 45mm if I recall and is very comfortable on my 7.25 inch wrist. Overall, I love the watch and it will be one of my work favorites (in addition to my orange face Tsuyosa) after I get a nicer strap on it. Great job Citizen! I deducted a star for the imperfection in the case/bezel finishing.
