I bought this to replace my JR3080-51 L Blue Angel watch purchase in 2010. I wore it daily and loved it, so much so that the sapphire crystal and bezel are worn and badly scratched. Parts are no longer available. I love the new watch. It’s easy to synch the correct time, I did it once, and now it does it automatically in the early morning hours. Easier to switch between different world time zones and for local time, correct for daylight savings time. It’s a great watch.
Just got my second citizen watch, and i love it. If it is as good as the first one which ive had for 8 years without one issue i will be very happy. I plan on having many more in my collection. What a beautiful watch.
I've only had this watch for about 3 weeks and so far I really enjoy it. It's great to have the local time, UTC and a 3rd time zone right on the display without having to push any buttons. I'm a ham operator so UTC comes in handy all the time. It's fairly large so just be aware on how it may look and feel depending on wrist size.
I have been wearing Citizen world time watches for many decades and ECO-DRIVE for somewhat fewer decades. Once you are familiar with doing the initial setup they are very convenient time pieces specially if you frequently travel through different time zones and they are fairly good looking too. Even the non-radio sync'd watches maintain extremely good timing possibly requiring correction once a year or less. For excellent functionality and good looks it's price point is a lot better than substantially more expensive and gaudy watches.
