Watch good, band not

I recently purchased an eco-drive because I had good experiences with a previous purchase. I prefer automatics but didn't have the cash for the watch I want. I don't like buying batteries every year or two for quartz watches. This watch meets my requirements but the band leaves much to be desired. I wanted a tough military style band. This band is too stiff and very uncomfortable. I am trying to get used to it but am seriously considering replacing the band.

Great watch but could use some improvement

Overall I am really enjoying the watch for what it is. I really like the green watch face design and the hour/minute hands along with the minute marks make for the time to be very easy to read quickly. I also enjoy the design of the cordura strap though as others have said it is a bit stiff. I hope that gets better over time and that this is just an indicator that this strap will last much longer than other nylon straps I have experienced in the past. For a standard quartz watch it keeps great time. Rated to +\- 15 sec/month. I have had it for little over a week and it has only gained about 1-2 seconds so I’m happy with it but hope that citizen offers an AT version in the future as my Skyhawk A-T are my absolute favorite watches. I also hope that they can update the chronometer so that the digital display can display the actual running time and that the analog minute and hour displays would function outside of the CHR setting as the time is running. I am happy with the watch and plan on keeping and wearing it but I think I would hold off on buying other versions of the new MIP Ana/digital display watches until they are more refined.

Love the watch. My first citizen. If there was only one drawback would be the band, I have apparently skinny wrists, the band is a little stiff, hoping it breaks in. Already have my sights on my next watch from this company.

Disappointed

Watch is quite bulky and weighty. On top of that the wrist band barely fits and is uncomfortable. Last thing, I swear when I researched the watch there was a photo of the watch glowing in the dark, Which is important for me as I work night shift. Anyway, either by mistaken research or not the watch is barely visible in the dark. Will more than likely not get much use out of it. I really like the style but for what I paid I should not have to buy another band to wear it.
