I bought this because I wanted a simple, everyday watch that would require as little upkeep as possible (solar, water resistant, durable). I didn't hear favorable reviews about the strap so I immediately put it on a NATO and haven't used the original one yet so can't speak for that part. The actual watch has met all my expectations thus far. I do wish it had a bit larger of a face but that's a personal preference. Watch hands glow for the first minute or so they are exposed to darkness but not much beyond that. The second hand doesn't always land right on the tick marks so keep in mind if you're OCD about that. Overall a great watch that I expect to wear for a long time!

I changed the band with a 550 chord military style one

I finally found a watch I don't have to mess with. No more store visits for battery swaps. No making sure I move enough with automatics. I put it on and go to work. Perfect. The canvas strap is a must for hot summer days.

Overall, this is a great looking watch. Easily readable good lume for the night time, accurate and maintenance free. I wear it daily. My only gripes, and they are minor, are that you can see the solar cell more than I thought you could, and the strap has hole spacing that is wider than normal (so one hole might be too tight, but the next hole is too loose).

This watch performs as advertised except in the case of reading in the dark. Here it fails totally the glow for night reding is useless.

I have never owned a Citizen watch and must say that the quality is better than expected. It is a little small but very light and easy to read. The eco-drive feature is a nice touch.

This is my first solar-powered watch and I'm very pleased with it. Watch face is easily readable.

I purchased this watch in January to replace a Seiko watch that I had owned for years. It keeps time well, the solar function is great and the band is functional and has a military look.
