You cant beat citizens eco-drive. I appreciate the history and quality of this company. I got this watch as a daily and for work. I was going to change the band out but its so well made, I grew to love it. With all that stainless steel, it's definitely got some good weight to it so it sometimes distal on my wrist when Im moving a lot, but not a big deal. Switching the band would help. The lumination is great but doesnt last long. Not a deal breaker. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this watch. The design is fantastic. Flat surface with raised bezel so the sapphire crystal gets protected from unnecessary scratches, crown protection, screw down crown, date, good hands, and limited writing on the surface. I hate when watches write too much on the face. It should be the brand, 1 or 2 key features of the watch and that is it. Citizen nails it. If youre on the edge about getting this dive watch, make the move. You will love it. And... this wont be your last watch, so keep the collection going:)
I did so much research during my hunt for the perfect watch. I wanted a reliable, durable, water-resistant, sapphire crystal glass, rotating bezel, solid bracelet, screw-down crown, and good looking watch. The bracelet has a a special extension part that is easily adjustable even after the watch is fitted. This watch made me a more loyal Citizen customer and advocate. I’m thankful this was available and I have the opportunity to own one. After getting this and seeing/feeling the craftsmanship I went ahead and purchased the Citizen Tsuyosa 60. Thank you.
On totality, this is a beautiful looking watch, especially for the price point. The dial shines beautifully in the sun, the 41mm fits perfectly on the wrist, and the bezel has a nice 60 point clicking action. However, the bezel also has some play so it doesn’t line up perfectly with the indices unless you scoot it onto them, and even then it doesn’t stay. If there’s one thing I can’t ignore or stand on a dive watch, it’s a misaligned bezel. The Eco-Drive is also one of the best technologies ever produced for watches which makes this a top tier option because of the reliability and accuracy.
Waited for this watch and I am not disappointed with the feel and fits perfect on my 7.5 wrist.
