“Did I need another watch? Ask my wife and she would've say "no." Sure, I have my share of dive watches and aviator-style watches with slide rule bezels and the like, but I was looking for something more formal -- a white dial dress watch with wear with suits and such.
Upon opening the box, I fell in love. She's a beauty. And thanks to Marc's helpful videos, I had this watch out of the box and on my wrist in about 15 minutes after removing four links from the bracelet.
If there was once slight disappointment, it's the size of the watch. With a case diameter 40 mm, I was hoping it would wear smaller than my other watches. But in reality it doesn't. It wears very similarly to my 42 mm Seiko SNA411 Flightmaster and even my 45 mm Seiko 5 Sports SRPC68 Root Beer Bottle Cap diver. But since I have 7-1/2-inch wrists, it's definitely not a deal breaker.
All in all, though, it's a beautiful watch at a great price. And for the 48-hours I've had the watch, it seems to keep great time.”
“Bought this as a gift. I've been too busy to check it's running performance in a detailed manner. But initially it checked out great. Will be getting one for myself some day soon I hope. Really wish Citizen made this model in a time only format as the date windows on many watches are difficult for my old eyes.”
“This is a nice watch with a distinctive dial, a little nicer than the plain white version that I have but not as nice as both blue dial versions that have just arrived. I really like the new style boxes that the blue versions came in but it's a bit of overkill for a watch at this price point, I'm not complaining though.
Many Thanks Marc, keep up the great work.”
“I have tried wearing it all day and putting it on a winder. It just runs out of steam, so I must manually wind it. I understand that this will be hard on the watch, but the return policy is so fussy, I can’t be bothered. Unlike the cheap Orients, which work well, this Citizen is truly a piece of junk.”
