I bought this for my wife and she loves it. It's nice enough to be used for dressier occasions, but also can be worn casually. The mixed brushed/polished band adds some beautiful variety, and the sapphire crystal means there's no need to baby the watch because it's basically impossible to scratch. The only downside is with this clasp style, there are no microadjustments. The watch is either a bit too big for her or a bit too small if I add or remove one link, so it would've been nice to have microadjustments to get that goldilocks fit.
I purchased this watch for my oldest daughter while she attends grad school. She absolutely loves it! She was wearing a coach watch that no longer kept accurate time so I felt it was a perfect time to explain the difference between a purse maker and a watch maker! I own many Citizen watches and at the price point you can’t beat them for dependability and longevity. Plus Citizen was doing environmentally sustainable long before it was even cool!
