I got this watch about a week ago, and this is my impression so far. I have to say that I also have a Citizen super-titanium (CA0350-51) for a few years now so I can compare between the two. First of all, what I like the most about this watch is its size, 41mm. This is of course individual, but at least for me, it's the perfect size. My other watch is I think 43mm, which is also OK but slightly big. What I also like in this watch is the bracelet. This gray bracelet is beautiful and special. I don't think I've ever seen a bracelet in this color and it also plays a bit with light, which is nice. The design - the design is cool yet very elegant, but it has a few flaws - The second hand is so thin and red on black, so it's sometimes difficult to notice it. The bad - The lume is terrible to almost non existent, which is a shame since it is a nice feature. You can barely see the hands at dark, they just have a very weak glow and it's only hands that has very little bit of lume, the rest of the dial is completely dark, so this is a bit disappointed to me, especially since the lume on the Death Star looked good on video and the lume in my super-titanium is excellent. The second hand is really thin, and difficult to notice on the black background, if the light is weak. So, it's a nice and unique watch, limited edition, Sapphire, eco-drive and yet, I expected more, especially more lume.
