“I haven’t been able to take the Photon off my wrist! The titanium construction makes it light and comfortable. The bracelet tapers nicely and hugs the wrist. And the dial! The dial alone is worth the price of admission! Seriously impressed with this watch and how it wears. Not to mention, it’s very thin, so the profile is amazing. So happy I got this!”

“I purchased the next day after getting email this was available. I’m not normally a citizen fan but this looked great and does not disappoint in person. Besides, I guess it’s about time to get an integrated bracelet watch! I’ll lead with the low points: bracelet feels slightly lower quality than the case. The case brushing is finer, bracelet is more satin and shows marks faster than I expected for “duratect”. The snap-in case back looks kinda cheap - like a typical quartz watch back. None of that really matters at ~1k. Dial is something special, bracelet is super comfortable and has on the fly adjustment. The polished sides are sexy. Free sizing before it gets to you is a nice perk. I could see people not loving the text on the crystal or the tiny crown but they work well here and the alternatives would be worse. Oh, and lume on the hands is decent for a non-tool watch - markers less so. Excellent execution Citizen!”

“I have been a big fan of Citizen Eco Drive watches for years. I heard about this particular model on TikTok and creators that had a chance to see them in person were very positive about it. I ended up buying it as a gift for myself due to some recent life accomplishments. I liked that it was part of a limited series celebrating 50 years of the Eco Drive system (mine is 488 of 5,000). And I liked that it uses titanium along with a sapphire crystal. When it finally arrived, I was impressed! Understated, yet very nicely finished. Plus, the glow in the dark hands are very easy to see. Overall, very happy with it!”

“This is really a great watch. The dial is awesome and draws my eyes to it throughout the day, changing colors in different lighting. I was concerned about the Citizen logo on the crystal, but honestly I haven't thought twice about since the first day; it is not intrusive and does not interfere with the view of the dial. The case and bracelet are fantastic. The thinness and weight make it almost unnoticeable on the wrist, but the bracelet still feels substantial. The on-the-fly adjustment system is not as high-quality as others I have used but is still nice to have. It's been my daily wear since I got it. I recommend it.”

“Eco-Drive PHOTON is a fantastic watch! The dial is unique and the tremendous progress made in with Eco-Drive technology is evident with one full year performance with one complete charge with any light! This is remarkable in my opinion. The Super Titanium strap is perhaps the best I have ever worn. The micro adjusting feature is a bonus. The watch feels light and very comfortable. The area where CITIZEN could have done a better job is the anti-reflective coating, its good but not the best. Also the CITIZEN and the Eco-Drive logo scribed on the back of the sapphire crystal intrudes while I appreciate this beautiful dial.”

“Amazingly light and cool, futuristic-looking watch. Easy to read the time, and the writing on the dial appears to float above the 3-D-looking dial. Very different than any of my multiple of watches so a great buy for me.”

“Is light a Photon particle or a continuous wave? That’s what the dual wave particle theory is about! This watch makes honor to Einstein and de Broglie Physicists! I am proud to own the 978th watch out of limit edition of 5,000 of them!”

“I received this watch last week. It’s very lightweight, I barely notice it on my wrist. It looks great too.”
