Nice Watch, but Major design flaws for longevity..

I bought this as my first Citizen watch, and starter into "entry level luxury". The aesthetics caught my eye, but Eco Drive sold me. I was in love with this watch from the start, but slowly fell out of love after enduring some issues, and finding one major design flaw which has cost me $ in repairs. Pros: Stealth look, solid feel on your wrist, and Eco Drive! Cons: For starters, as others mentioned, you can't see much without full lighting. The band also began to wear, to where I now have a "two tone" band just a few years later (the coating is not very resilient). The crystal scratches fairly easily as well. Finally, the BIG flaw....the stem of the crown sits WAY too loose into the bezel. There is WAY too much play between the two. Because of this, two to three time zone changes a year have managed to break the stem off requiring nonwarranteed repairs TWICE now. I have since went to a Navihawk A-T and this watch sits unused for fear of breaking it again.

Very classy, contemporary watch

I saw this watch at the airport when flying out on holiday. It immediately took my notice and looked even better on my wrist. I already owned a rose gold Citizen Eco Drive watch and this like my other was different from the norm and stood out. It has and still is a very good watch. It is stylish comfortable to wear and very well built. I now own two further Eco Drives and both this s the rose gold one are kept for those special occasions. Totally very happy with these and thoroughly recommended.

Expensive Fashion Statement

The face of this watch is difficult to read, even in the best of light conditions. There little contrast at most angles. I found this watch to be unusable in any moderate to low light conditions. The "luminous" markings are basically nonexistent. The Nighthawk line of watches have good features, but even in the best light conditions, they are best difficult to use on this particular style.
