This is a very nice simplistic watch without the extra bells and whistles that are found on other Citizen watches. The ecodrive means that I never have to replace the battery. This watch is minimalistic in that it provides only the time and date, which is exactly what I like about this watch. There are times when I just want to wear a simple watch and this fits the bill perfectly. I like the clasp that this leather band uses. I think it is better than the typical buckle used on leather bands. The rose gold part of the watch pairs well with the silver stainless steel portion of the watch. It (the rose gold) does not clash with the watch's look. In fact it looks rather elegant. I really like this watch and am glad I purchased it for my collection.
