So far, it is excellent. Looks good and keeps perfect time.
I have wanted a Citizen for almost 20 years. I was initially concerned about the size and some reviews stating it sat high off the wrist. My work watch is a G Shock that I abuse, but this sits about the same height, if not lower, even with the NATO strap. Also I’m a smaller guy, with smaller wrists (155-160lbs) and this fits perfectly. If you are a bigger person it might be a little small in terms of watch to wrist ratio. Otherwise everything is as advertised. I’ve been happy so far.
I have been a career navigator and a precise watch is key to accurate celestial positioning. It is a pain having to use two watches, one in local time and another set to GMT. The eco-drive is supremely accurate; 5 seconds a month and a short exposure to sunlight will run it for months. The face is bright in low light conditions like aircraft or ship cabins. When transiting several time zones rapidly, GMT is your main reference and this watch fits the bill perfectly. If you don't like the band substitute a third party metal band. Just wear it and forget it. It's just that easy.
Is a Beautiful watch nice presentation perfect for sport used
