“I like the look of the watch. Been wearing it 5/6 days a week for about a year. Keeps time well--I think I'm only gaining ~8 seconds per month. The black face and steel body are nondescript enough that it works as a nicer office watch or a sports watch. I replaced the straps with a trio of NATO straps that I can swap out to change feel/match my work shirt (I got a black, a green, and a red/white/blue). A few quibbles: 1) second hand alignment is pretty poor. Misses its marks by a considerable amount across most of the face (like, falls halfway between the second/minute markers for a good portion of the face) 2) lume is great looking and very bright, but it fades pretty fast 3) I wish the minute and hour hands were just a little longer. This one is personal preference. Overall, it's a great watch that keeps good time, hasn't given me any trouble, and can be worn virtually every day. I recommend it, as long as the 3 caveats mentioned above don't bother you too much.”

“I've had the watch several years, maybe 10??? I have at least 10 watches (including this one that I bought for $100, that's how long I've had it). This one sat in a drawer for several months. Forgot it was there. When I found it, it was dead. I sat it in my window and forgot about it. Found it last week. Been wearing it ever since. Set it to the Atomic clock. Hasn't missed a second.”

“This was my first over $100 watch. I do a lot of outdoorsy activities. And I wanted a watch that was durable, and I wouldn't have to ever worry about it running out of battery or if I didn't wear it for 3 days. It's light, comfortable. I've had it 6 months and it looks brand new. I keep looking at other watches. Especially for nicer looking events, but I really just like this one. There's nothing I don't like about it.”

“I bought this watch in 2018, I wore it for a few months and then my father saw it and commented on it. I left it with him(in Texas) when I was going back home to Maryland. Fast fwd to 2021 and my father died, my mom gave the watch back to me and the band was missing. I want to replace the band but am having a hard time finding where to buy original style band.”

“Watch looked great but the band was hard and uncomfortable to wear. I replaced for silicone band.”

“Bought this watch from a jewelry shop near me at the time back in 2017. This watch has been hit, scratched, banged about on Police Patrol! Yes, the strap got wet and rotted away after 1 year but hey, easily replaced by a "slip through nylon NATO strap"-no big deal. Retired with a newly purchased "thin blue line watch" making my "banged up vet" a back up. After all that abuse? This watch still keeps accurate time=Battle scrapes scratches and all! Wish I'd citizen sooner! A truly spartan watch! Sure wish Citizen would improve her "glow in the dark" features on all her watches but-that's what flashlights are for.”

“I purchased this watch to replace one of the same model purchased back in 2005. On two occasions that one had lost time for reasons I couldn't identify. It had otherwise been a superb watch. Kept much better time than a submariner Rolex (which I sold because the Citizen performed better). It was also tough. On one occasion I shorted out a buss bar, carrying 500+ amps from boat batteries. Left burn marks on the case, the band, and my wrist, but the watch never missed a beat. Remarkable for a complex electric watch.”
