Very dark.

I had ordered this warch online through Kohls and did an in store pick up and was very excited to see it in person. When I got there I opened it first before leaving the store to check it out and was glad I did because I was super bummed. Everthing about it was awesome except for how dark it was. I loved the color of the picture and thought it would have slight hints of blue in it and the hands would have shades of silver for a sleek look but it turned out to look black on black on black which makes it very hard to read. I returned it and left with no watch. The only reason im giving it 2 stars is because of the quality. Loved the weight and size of the face but just couldnt get over color.

Beautiful watch, hard to read

This was my first adult watch purchase and I was very excited when I received it. It was the exact style I was searching for and the craftsmanship added to its appeal. Unfortunately the lack of color contrast on the face of the watch made it more of bracelet than a functioning watch for me. A beautiful bracelet but I wanted a watch. I ended up returning it for another Citizen watch because I was so impressed with the craftsmanship for the watch.

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.

Hard to Read

Not an easy to read watch when it gets dark and the hands light up only very briefly after being exposed for a significant time to sun. Should have avoided the dark on dark. Otherwise very nice.
