I've been wearing this for about a week and it has exceeded expectations based on some comments. (1) The lume is perfectly adequate even at 3am; not light-up-the-room brilliant but I have no trouble telling the time many hours after the watch has stopped being exposed to a light source. (2) The lighter weight does not translate into a "cheap feel" to the watch once it's on your wrist. The only challenging part is learning how to adjust the bracelet, since these are collared pins. Find a YouTube video to see how to take out and reinsert links before embarking on an adjustment if you haven't adjusted one of these before. The titanium case/bracelet, atomic clock synch, moonphase, and power meter all check boxes for elements that were lacking in previous purchases in my collection. I've purchased far more expensive watches, but this one delivers on the value proposition.
A long time Citizen fan. This watch replaced my original moon phase watch. Great quality and performance as well as its handsome looks. Echo Drive and atomic setting is a great combination.
As a space nut this watch does it for me. What a great addition to my collection (both watches and space memorabilia). Light, classy, sharp.
