Best watch

I bought this watch back in 2017 shortly after it's launch. I wear it as often as I can, to work, out for pleasure and everything in between. No scratches, never misses a beat, the quality can not be beat. I live a modest life so 550 to drop on a watch was a huge purchase and I would buy it again. I have since bought 2 more eco drive citizens and love them but this one is the go to. 9 years later and its still the favorite, you will not regret this purchase.

Nice watches.

This is my first black watch. I have three others. I wish it came with a sapphire crystal instead of mineral. It is a little bit hard to see the face after dark it doesn’t illuminate other than that pretty cool watch.

Awesome watch, with a couple weaknesses

My first "big boy" watch. I've owned it for about 9 years, and I still love it. It really nails the "blackout" aesthetic perfectly. I will say that the finish on the clasp wears off very easily (as is the case with other dark colored Citizen bracelets). Replacement bracelets will cost you nearly as much as you spend on the watch, if you purchase directly from Citizen, and the finish is unique enough that you're not going to find something identical in aftermarket options. The other thing is that the crystal scratched very easily for me. Easiest of any watch I've owned, honestly. With that said, I love this watch enough that I have replaced the bracelet and the crystal, because it just looks that great!

Hands are hard to read

It's a nice looking watch. Nice color, good size, Eco-Drive is a plus. I get compliments when I wear it. My main complaint, and it's a deal killer, is that the hands are pretty hard to read. They're gray with a dark, polished border in front a gray background with complications. I can't just glance at the watch to tell time. Telling time with my watch is kinda important. Because of the lack of readability, I don't wear this watch much.
