I bought this for my girlfriend as an anniversary gift. She loved it, shipping was fast.
My husband purchased this version of the Calendrier line from Citizen. It is very accurate, and not needing a battery change is a plus. But let's talk about the beauty of this baby for a minute. No photo does it justice: the mother-of-pearl face is luminous and sets off the diamonds on the face so we'll. I love that the diamonds are inside the watch, making it easier to wear with less worry. Very practical and functional. You do have to adjust for dates when it is a non-31-day month, but it's very simple and easy to adjust. The moon phases give a delicate, almost Gilded Age vibe. But this is also unisex. I've read a lot of reddit threads about guys wanting to wear it. It's a great watch for your collection. If you're thinking of getting it, do it. Citizen wins at this one.
This is the most beautiful watch I have ever owned! I love the moonphase dial and the color of the face of the watch. It was easy to order and size. It shipped quickly. It was also easy to set-up. It is a beautiful piece of reliable functional jewelry that I wear everyday. I know it is well made and will last forever. No more digital watches for me. I love my watch.
This watch face looks more purplish with blue, than the photo that looks blue with purple but that is not a bad thing. Its dreamy, its gorgeous. It does get a little bit hard to read when the light is just right because of the white lettering, however, that doesn't bother me- I can tell the time without seeing any numbers, and even if I couldn't, there are the diamond markers that give a beautiful minimalist sparkle. With the day/date/time indicators, I don't need to read the letters anyway- I will get used to where the dials are pointing to be able to know what day it is, what month it is, and to a lesser extent what the date is, but I'm not depending on this watch to tell the date, honestly. It was NOT hard to set, and though it doesn't come with setting instructions, just go to the Citizen website listing for this item and download the instructions and set it according to that. It's actually quite easy to set. This watch is a little bigger of a face than I am used to, and a wider of a band than I am used to. I am a 5'4, petite female with wrists that measure 6.25 inches around. I had four links removed. It is not overpowering, or overly heavy, though it is a little heavier than a leather band watch. I've read reviews where others sent it back because its heavy and hard to set. Neither of those are true in my opinion. I love that the hands illuminate in the dark and that it never needs a battery. Its a very pretty and high quality timepiece. And no I don't work for Citizen, I just wanted a watch with a moon phase dial and this watch is exactly what I wanted and I love it.
