Bought this watch about a year ago. Really like the watch and its features especially the solar and setting features. Stopped wearing it as I hated the band which I replaced and now wearing it again. Have had a number of compliments on it since.
I bought this watch at the Hudson’s Bay Company about 8 days ago, and the clock face is now winding back and forth, and refusing to tell proper time. The second hand is stuck at 0 seconds and now the minute and hour hands do not work. It says in the product manual that a fully charged eco-drive watch should last 6 months or longer when charged under sunlight for half a day. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this. I would love to hear from Citizen directly about this issue and receive a refund.
I am a huge fan of the Citizen Brand; however, the watch band on the PCAT is a horrible choice, It is uncomfortable and for that single reason alone, I returned the watch. I already have 6 Citizen Eco Drive watches and would definitely purchase more, but not any with the "new clasp" that comes with the PCAT.
Great watch. The band or strap is terrible. The intent of quick release on a typical leather strap is noble. Unfortunately the implementation is a disaster. The metal quick release maintains constant pressure on the inside of your wrist and digs into the soft tissue next to your veins. Contacted Citizen and requested a replacement strap. Disappointing response no replacement or solution provided. I own 20 Citizen watches and this strap is not representative of typical Citizen quality. Very disappointed that Citizen would not provide a simple leather strap as a replacement. Citizen claim was they had none??
