Great looking watch

I bought the blue/stainless version and love it. The case is wonderfully thin, comfortable, and lightweight. The dial is beautifully finished. This is my only watch without a seconds hand and I like it, especially for a quartz. I've been wanting a thin watch and an eco-drive, so this is perfect. The case is well done for the most part, but mine has a slight imperfection at twelve o'clock on the polished bezel that is visible from only some angles. I'll call it factory fresh patina and I'm sure I'll bang it up more before too long. The strap is leather and adequate, but certainly not a standout. Lugs are 21mm so aftermarket strap options are plentiful and I've already ordered a proper black leather one to better suit my taste. The lug to lug distance is less than 45mm if I recall and is very comfortable on my 7.25 inch wrist. Overall, I love the watch and it will be one of my work favorites (in addition to my orange face Tsuyosa) after I get a nicer strap on it. Great job Citizen! I deducted a star for the imperfection in the case/bezel finishing.

Suratto

Love the blue, the soft leather strap, and especially how thin this watch is. Readability, not so much. It's something that I've noticed in recent years: The face designs have gotten busier, the hands have gotten narrower and blend with the lines marking seconds and hours, and there's not enough contrast between them and other design elements. Still, I have several Citizens that I've bought over the past 20-ish years because they keep excellent time, are durable, and look great.

Option Recommendation

In agreement with another reviewer to have a black dial with silver stainless steel case black strap. Additionally have this option with a silver stainless steel bracelet.

It’s okay

While I appreciate the slim profile, the rest of the watch is lackluster. The design is basic without being elegant. The band and the finishes feel cheaper than anticipated for this price point. If you’re looking for a slim profile, the Stiletto collection offers better designs and value.
