Really glad I chose the green version. Extremely comfortable, light watch.
Overall, I really like this watch. The dial is legible and the green is a lovely shade. However, I have a few issues with the watch…1) the band has very sharp edges (almost dangerously so), particularly the clasp; 2) the band catches and pulls hair like no other watch I’ve worn. I usually sleep with my watches on, and I find this one’s band makes me have to make sure my arm isn’t near my beard for fear of pulling; 3) the lume is very bright, but there is distortion caused by the glass, making the time harder to read in the dark. One other note: the watch was sized correctly, but it was sized on the last micro-adjust hole of the clasp. This was an issue since my arm swells throughout the day. I had to add one of the links back and then adjust the clasp.
The bracelet is much darker and less polished than advertised online :(
I'm a big fan of Citizen watches and have several EcoDrive and automatic watches, but this one was really disappointing. It looked much better in the website pictures. I was so disappointed by its appearance that I returned it the next day. On a positive note, the return process was fairly quick and easy. Citizen Watches of America provided a pre-paid UPS return label and authorization. I purchased a Promaster Skyhawk A-T Blue Angels edition instead.
