Reviews
this is an update ... i want to inform about its caliber and the accuracy of the watch..it is stated that it runs +/-15 seconds/month..well, i have observed that my Corso has lost only 2 seconds (-2 seconds) in about 8 (eight) months. We are talking about a watch which is not a HAQ. This is amazing. Congratulations to Citizen. (if Citizen would ever make this caliber with a perpetual calendar (just date is ok) then it would be an almost perfect watch.)

Probably the most sleek watch imo, it's perfect for formal and casual. My favorite watch by far. Love it so much, I want a second.
This watch looks better in person than in picture, at first I was a bit afraid to wear a 44mm watch but I had no issues, I was used to wear only my citizen stiletto so I noted the change a bit in weight but immediately got used to it, I was looking for a fair price watch for special occasions and an everyday watch too so I found the perfect one.......
I have been wearing it for 2 years. I like it. Like most watches, one cannot read day/date easily, but this is OK. The main issue is it's leather band. In my 2nd year, the band has seriously irritated my wrist, it has become red and swallow. I think citizen should be more careful with it's band suppliers. I have 2 more citizen watches in my collection with no such problems. Thank you.
Would have given 5* However, had to take away a star due to the quality of the band. I have owned this watch for about a year or two now and although I love the face of the watch the band (the construction of the band) is what I had to remove a star. Classic in it's appearance however, I don't understand why the stitching does not all the way to the clasp / buckle. This is a obvious design flaw, as the glue for the leather has broken due down due to the natural oils in my skin. It would be much easier to take the stitching all the way and not 3/4. Just my humble opinion. Otherwise love the look, feel and complaints that I have received for this watch. Replaced the band with a stainless steel band and not it looks like my other watches, not as happy (still searching for the perfect band)

I wore it for a little over a month, the band always smelled a little bit even out of the box. started to smell when I wore it a few days a week. I gently wiped the band but the smell wouldn't come off? Finally, the coating of the "leather" started falling off. I remember when watches used to last a life time, now they last a few weeks. Citizen refuse to pay for any repairs/ replacing the band even though only 1.5 months had passed. Limited warranty does not cover "wear and tear." Pros: Love the dial and the sub dials, like the color.

Great watch
The very first Citizen watch I bought. Great watch. I love the dial color and band.
good looking watch
I like the watch appearance, very stylish. However, my old eyes cannot read the three little dials, and the face looks large on my wrist. This is the third eco citizen watch I have purchased: lasted 20 years.
Seems excellent so far...
I've only had this watch for a week, but so far I love it. The band is a little stiff, but should break in nicely with time. The rest of the watch is perfect. It looks exceptionally classy, and the movements seem precise, much more so than my last couple watches. And the light-powered aspect can't hurt. Very pleased with my purchase so far!
Great
Wrist strap fits a bit weird (but I’m sure it’s just my wrist). Feels nice to wear, looks like something twice its price. Watch face doesn’t easily collect prints/dust or scratches so far. Haven’t had it long enough to see the solar charging in action but unless something crazy happens I’m very happy with the watch.
A High Accuracy Quartz Caliber.

Corso Review
Great watch. Looks sharp and clean. Leather strap fits nicely after a few wears
Classy watch
I recently purchased the Corso for my fiancé as a graduation gift. It’s a timeless piece that is great for everyday wear. I was worried about the wristband based on other reviews but even with the bulk of his wrist it fit beautifully and comfortably. Perfect for everyday use!
Can't go wrong with this work of art!
Beautiful! A practical ,beautiful work of art! A joy to own. A pleasure to wear.
Great time piece!
Really enjoying this time piece. Love the dials on it. This is my first citizen watch I have owned. Definitely love the accuracy, and the look of it too. Maybe not the most flashy time piece, but this is a great everyday watch. It has been on my wrist everyday since I purchased it. Looking forward to getting more citizen eco drives in the future.
