Reviews
This is an excellent quality watch and reasonably priced. Fits like a glove adjusted to my 6 and 3/4 inch wrist. Low profile on the wrist. Keeps perfect time. Full titanium, sapphire crystal, light weight and never needs a battery. I wear this watch all day, every day. When adjusting the watchband, remember to reinstall the very small friction collars with the watchband pins.
Greats everyday watch. Light weight and comfortable. No crown issues so far. It also looks good with a red strap!
It is keeping perfect time, it's light-weight and comfortable. The dial is easy to read and I like the sweep second hand and the day-date feature.
I set this watch to my phone's clock about a month ago and it's still keeping within about a half-second. It looks great on my wrist (8.5") with the classic aviator look. The numbers are easy to read. Don't expect much from the lume, but it does exist. :-) My 12yo son picked it up and said it felt cheap to him because it was so light. That's titanium for you... But I love the fact that it's that light! Being able to customize the length of the bracelet was invaluable to me. I will definitely be coming back!

Great watch. Just wish the crown would screw in to secure it
I've owned this watch over a year now and have worn it everyday. It has taken several hard licks but only the case shows small scratches, none on the glass. Love the light weight and readability of the dial. Bracelet was great but not to my taste so I replaced it with a nato. Accuracy on mine is +1 sec in 10 days.
I have been a satisfied Eco-Drive owner since 2008. This Garrison is the ninth Eco-Drive in my collection and it is definitely one of my favorites. I have become a fan of field watches and this does that style really well. It's easy to read and extremely light on the wrist coming in at only 84 grams, sized for my 7 1/4" wrist. I'm glad for the sapphire crystal but wish the crown was screw down to support the 100M water resistance. All markers are fully lumed and I would rate the intensity of the lume as good but not great.
Good quality, light weight, easy to maintain, nicely designed, I wish the date day window can be little bit bigger for easier observation.
It is a beautiful watch. Great look and easy to set

This watch ticks all the boxes for me. It is waterproof, has day and date and a metal band. The sapphire crystal is something I got used to on my other high end watch. I work rotating shifts so I never know what day of the week it is. I like the weight of the titanium case and band. I hardly feel it on my wrist. It has been keeping time well. The only "complaint" is that the day of the week changes slowly from midnight till 4 am. Making Sunday red makes it hard to see in lower light levels. The luminous dial is visible all night long which I appreciate. I've always wanted an Eco-drive watch and I'm glad I have this one!
I picked the Garrison titanium because of its light weight, large easy to read dial, eco drive, and quality glass. Now that I’ve lived with it on for a few weeks and subjected it to daily light construction abuse I’m satisfied with my purchase. My only disappointment is that the Lume isn’t bright enough throughout the night for me to read the watch on the side table in the wee hours. If this watch had tritium tubes it would be absolutely epic.
Bought this as a replacement for my 20 year old Garrison (the smaller one with the white day/date). Wanted the sapphire crystal because the mineral crystal on my old one has become heavily scratched over the years and I’m hoping the sapphire will hold up a bit better - which was basically the only reason I didn’t get an identical replacement for my old Garrison. Overall the watch is very nice, but I’m not a fan of the larger size, I wish the lume was more white and less yellow, and my biggest complaint is that the day/date indicator is awful. The use of very thin lettering on a black background makes it nearly impossible to read at a glance and/or distance. My old one used black letters on a white background and that was perfect - legible at a glance and in nearly all conditions. Not sure why Citizen didn’t use that on this model because it is far far superior to the day/date display on this watch. Another minor criticism is the limited amount of fine adjustment on the metal band clasp, more would be better, and I couldn’t get a comfortable fit so I just ended up replacing it with a silicone strap.
Has everything
This watch has it all. Eco-drive, titanium, sapphire crystal and day-date. I think I it looks great!
A Refined Tactical Tank... Citizen Garrison
Wow, just look at this absolute masterpiece! I didn't just make a great choice—I absolutely knocked this out of the park! Seeing my Citizen Garrison BM8560-53E mounted on a custom black kangaroo leather strap with the hidden Artem loop-less deployant clasp is pure watch-enthusiast perfection. The way the matte black dial completely melts into the deep black leather, paired with the rugged, brushed texture of that Super Titanium case, looks incredibly premium. It has that ultimate "refined tactical tank" aesthetic that has held up very well, working with my kiddos. I highly recommend this watch!
Garrison for the Win!
I had my eye on this watch for quite some time owing to the clean face, titanium composition, and wider style band than the other titanium options. Light on my wrist, and at the price point a great everyday watch. I've received many compliments on it. If you're looking for a watch that doesn't buzz, tick or have any bells and whistles; but just tells the time and date in a stylish way, this is your watch.
Absolutely love this watch
I was looking for the best daily wear watch, that can be dressed to any level, day and date complication. And even solar powered. Light, classy, beautiful. I wish I could find it a nice field strap at some point as well just for fun. But the matching super titanium bracelet is great
Beautiful watch
This watch is exactly what I needed, beautiful, day and date display, a very strong and non scratch screen and above all extremely light. Really love it. I know this watch is a quality watch that will last me long time
Light weight Citizen using solar power
Many obvious features in a simple straight package. Date & day of week are difficult to read.
Great Value for Great Watch
Very happy with watch. Works great and the super titanium does not scratch. Watch looks brand new after months of wearing.
