“This watch was seen on multiple cruise ships and finally bought one on the most recent cruise. Few watches in their shops were set to the correct time, including the one I bought. I was told by the shops that the watch could only be set by satellite on land which may not be totally true. The watch was set manually on the cruise shop at purchase. I tried to set the watch to satellite when I got home without success. I brought it to a Citizen dealer who set the watch to the satellite for me. I have worn it every day since and enjoy wearing it. I have also travelled with it recently and was able to change the time zone without issues.”

“I bought the green version. Sporty, but yet dressy at the same time depending on braclet. Not only does it look great, it also synced with GPS on the first try after charging it in the window for a few hours. Very pleased. DST needs to be set manually, no biggy, it's easy to do.”

“Well, the watch looks great and seems to work just fine. Except, there appears to be nothing for using it in the dark. I don't get any light/glow to see the hands or the number spots in the dark. So is this watch only to be used in the dark?”

“I have had my eye on this watch for about a year. Christmas sale could not be passed up. Watch showed up running, already GPS synchronized and is amazing. Absolutely love it.”

“I bought this watch for a graduation gift to myself. The watch has been getting compliments from the first day. I where it often to work. The glare and shine always catch someones attention. Its an awesome watch. I'm looking to buy to the red one.”

“I'm a Citizen fan, and I like the black elegant color and unique green tip hands. Although the florescent tip doesn't show well in the dark. I do like the satellite feature, and it's overall a unique part of my watch portfolio collection.”

“I bought this watch about three weeks ago. Initially I wanted to purchase a radio/atomic but needed more flexibility when traveling and when not within relatively close proximity to a transmitter. When I do travel, some of the places I go to are at the limit of the European transmitter. Probably would work but why take a chance when I could get a Satellite GPS watch that works anywhere in the world, with a touch of a button? Yes, a button or two need to be pressed. The time change doesn't happen automatically like with a smart watch linked to a phone while traveling through time zones ( if there is reception on the phone of course). The watch is very light for not being titanium. It is part of my watch rotation since I do have 5-6 other watches which serve different functions. Most are automatics with one being quartz. Like others said, it isn't very legible at night since the lume covers only the tip of hour/minute hands. I do worry about the watch band getting scratched being black stainless steel, but after wearing it 5-6x all day long, I haven't noticed any change. The watch does not come with any instructions but it isn't hard to set after watching some online tutorials. I always liked the idea of set it and forget it watch such as Citizens Eco drive watches. While I love the automatics, if not placed on automatic winders, they need constant setting. Quartz watches are ok-ish but that one time you need it and the battery is dead... This is my second Citizen Eco Drive, the first one being a 2008 perpetual calendar. That one worked about 4 years and had to be sent to Citizen for power/battery replacement ( under warranty). The second time, it only worked for about one year but I believe it was my fault since I kept it in a storage watch box, in a closet, for more than one year. Allegedly, that can kill an Ecodrive because I was never able to bring it back to life. I am hoping this one will last much longer and I won't make the mistake of storing it for extended periods of time in the dark.”
