Good looking watch overall, a little chunky for the case size. Also the band's quality makes the watch look cheap. Watch band is very long, so for smaller wrists it will stick outside the wrist and over the watch glass. Asked for a shorted band, but Citizen was not able to provide an alternative shorter band.
Really liked the dial color and texture, markers are clean and legible while allowing the hands to exist with the yellow GMT hand comfortably. Screw down crown operates smoothly and the bezel shares the space well. Watch wears a bit smaller than the size indicates. The strap is LONG! I trimmed it down as the overhang on my 6.5" wrist was significant.
Sweet watch, very lite
So I have mixed feelings on this watch. There’s something about it that just looks…. Cheap? Maybe I’m just not used to domed crystal watches is all, I’m not sure. I also wasn’t expecting it to be so thick… it’s not a thin watch even compared to a smart watch. The good things, it does have a screw-down-crown There is Zero reflection from the face The crown feels substantial and has very smooth control of the hands. Very clear and easy to read. I struggled to decide if I liked this watch at first, but the more I wear it the more i liked it. I’m mostly keeping it due to the utilitarian designs, (I needed a screw down crown as I have bent the crown on 2 other citizen watches) and the sapphire crystal is wonderful. I would have preferred a watch without the textured face, and a color option of green would have been fantastic. I would love to see a garrison with a more protected screw-down-crown… that’s what I would have preferred, but this seems fairly close…
