So why not five stars? Several reasons. The watch itself is near perfect, but would better with a clicking bezel with 60/120 defined stops and a crown that matches the Duratect titanium. Instead, the crown looks like it is made of stainless steel. It could also easily be screw-down as the size permits. These are minor points of criticism. For an Eco-Drive watch where a brass dial is out of the question, the sunburst grey is phenomenal and the blue highlights on the periphery of the indices a great touch along with the blue seconds hand. In contrast, the bracelet is a real disappointment. I don't understand why anyone uses male end-links in this day and age. It looks cheap and is less functional than female (women will nod as if this were a general truth; it isn't :). The links are too big, so you have to go one size up when having the bracelet sized unless your wrist is within 1/4 inch below a size offered. Half links would fix this problem or an altogether better bracelet. My Promaster BN-260 has a great bracelet with smaller links that are more forgiving. A Jubilee style link would also do the trick, but perhaps this is a more pricey proposition in titanium. However, I would happily have paid for it. Citizen cuts corners at peculiar places. Many of their great designs come with mineral crystal. The sapphire on the Brycen made the difference, but otherwise, I would probably have chosen a different watch. Thankfully it looks great on a strap but that means the bracelet is $60 wasted to live in the box forever. Hence the missing star from someone who is otherwise a huge fan of Citizen and Eco-Drive watches.

The titanium is lightweight and soft to wear making it really comfortable and a perfect weekender. I do wish it was a clicking unidirectional dial instead of the friction bidirectional but I’m quickly getting used to it.

I’m a welder, and this Citizen Brycen Super Titanium Men's Watch does an excellent job. Even with the strong heat I’m working with daily, I did not see any scratches or anything. I rocked a g-shock before this one and for my own surprise I prefer the citizen.

I purchased this watch as my first titanium watch and currently the most valuable in my collection. I’m highly impressed with the watch! It is absolutely beautiful to look at and easy to accessorize with different straps. It really suits any occasion. With the titanium bracelet it’s enough to be dressy. I have a silicone band with a watch compass on mine currently and this set up has not left my wrist since purchase.

My daughter bought this for me as a gift. I've been eyeing it for a while and she noticed. It's a fantastic piece. Accurate, light and beautiful. I'm super happy with it.

Very light weight and fits well on wrist. Glows legibly in the dark and easy to read time. Biggest downside is that the watch does not look refined or as sharp as it appears online. I returned the watch and plan to find another option. I still love Citizen watches and already own three...
