I have the BN0261-51e black dial. Saw it advertised in Spain & Italy a month or two ago. I finally saw it on the Citizen USA website 7 June and ordered it. Got it 11 June. It’s exactly what I wanted. Perfect size, looks great on my 7.25 in wrist. Bezel is smooth. The tool less micro adjusting clasp is fantastic (I adjust the fit a couple times a day)! Solar panels on my roof and in my watches.
I was looking for a diver style watch that fit well on my 6.8” wrist, was solar powered, and this is perfect. Thickness is 11.5mm with a bezel diameter of 40.4mm. It doesn’t say if it has an anti reflective coating on the sapphire, but compared to others in my collection it would seem to.

This is a good-looking watch, and it has a comfortable bracelet. However, I do have some gripes, especially for the price point. First, the hand alignment is not perfect, which is frustrating when you're spending nearly $500. Second, the clasp is very long and bulky, and it is even longer if you want to use the toolless micro adjustments. Overall, I like it, but I think it should be a little more refined for the price.
Dear Citizen, This my FIRST Citizen watch. I was surprised to see how low the quality is: (a) the bezel arrow does not line up with the notches, and (b) the second hand does not line up with the second hashes. Please see the enclosed photos. I really wish Citizen would replace this watch with a higher quality item. Sincerely, Darin Okuyama
