Shipped super fast! Was very pleased with my order.
The watch looks amazing, I've received many compliments from friends and family for it. It will help you stand out with it's gold tones. I was looking for a quality watch that has a full gold-toned finish that wouldn't break the bank and this pretty much checked all of my boxes! The blue face is very dark as others have mentioned, but this is exactly what I want. It looks almost black without a lot of light. I believe that the 8 diamonds are in fact real as well. Highly recommended to buy for yourself, friend, or loved one. I will include some pictures and hopefully a video to display the watch face.
The watch has very little contrast between the hands and the dial. Not at all like the picture shows.. And that is why I purchased the watch for the contrast.
I bought this watch as a Christmas gift, so I don't have my husband's review, but this watch is STUNNING. The face is a VERY deep blue which is gorgeous, and the band is a really beautiful bright gold. I know he's going to love this watch. My husband got very into watches this past year and this one is just about everything he wanted and more. This is the first Citizen Watch I have ever purchased, but after the experience I had it won't be the last. The watch arrived only two days after ordering, and the packaging is very nice. I can't wait to give him a watch I'm sure will be a very fast favorite of his.
