I wanted to try a Citizen and was intrigued by the technology on this one so I stepped up. I am quite pleased with my purchase and would buy another Citizen.
Excellent design, very comfortable, I love it… however, the way I received it, its packaging and protective materials, made me doubt if it was really a new watch… I asked customer service but didn't receive a response…
This is a gorgeous watch that has exceeded my expectations. The deep green face with rose gold frame and accents are striking. The leather band is also quite nice, though just a tad bit stiff. This watch really does have it all in terms of complications. It keeps time (including a small 24-hour hand), date, day of the week. It also has a chronograph and alarm (though I've never used it). The radio-controlled feature syncs the time each night with the atomic clock signal, and is usually successful here in the US. It is perpetual to the year 2100, so it keeps the date accurate (even handles leap years) and accounts for daylight savings time automatically. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching one of the helpful YouTube videos when setting this watch up. You need to be patient as it takes maybe 15-20 minutes to get everything properly set, but afterwards the watch truly takes care of itself. This watch features a sapphire crystal face and is water resistant up to 200m. Style-wise it looks good with just about anything. Lots of bang for the buck in a very reasonably-priced watch. Highly recommend!!
I've had this watch now for a couple of weeks. Why everyone wants a review immediately after buying anything is beyond me, but my first impressions are good. The watch does what it's supposed to do. It is beautiful. The strap is heavy duty and will take a while to break in, but that's a good thing. The manuals available can be confusing as there are mixed up descriptions that, I'm guessing, include other similar watches. If you are patient and spend time with them you can sort things out. For instance it does have a chronograph function, but the manual depicts the minute hand on the small face (has the day on it) with minute markings. This watch does not have those markings, and yet it still will function as a chronograph...not too useful. At any rate it is a very nice watch.
