I received this watch as a gift from my mother three years ago for Christmas. My adult son also received the same model of watch. First of all, I must say that the watch has always been very accurate, to within 15 seconds a month when compared to the atomic clock in Boulder, CO. It has a beautiful goldtone finish; however, this is not a finish that can be exposed to a lot of water. My son kept his on in the shower and while swimming, and the goldtone finish dulled considerably. The finish on my watch remains perfect, because I don't expose it to water. My only other, but very minor, criticism is that the second hand is off a "hair" in regard to indexing with the second/minute marks around the face of the watch. I believe that all quartz watches should index perfectly, and I have a Citizen Eco-Drive military style watch that does just that. This is, however, a beautiful watch that keeps accurate time. Just remember that it is a "dress watch," and not a "sport watch." The face has luminous hour dots, and the hands are also luminous, and you can see the time in the dark if your watch has recently had the luminous paint "charged" by light, i.e., sunlight or strong artificial light. The watch isn't noticeably heavy, and it is fairly thin. If you want a nice "dress watch," then this is probably your timepiece. If you want a "sport watch," get one with a stainless steel case and band, and leave this one in your valet until you return from your outdoor activities.

Love this watch! I bought this for my husband's wedding gift from me and had it engraved. ONLY complaint is that Citizen has their design all over the back face of it so makes it impossible to write on, so if I remember right, they replaced the back with a different one so it could be engraved. I am sure this voided the warranty, but no problems and we have had this watch 4.5 years. Beautiful watch and very sturdy! Price I bought at was 200.00 so it still retains a good price!

I am completely satisfied with this purchase. The watch is perfect.

About two years ago a friend showed me this watch and began extolling its virtues. I ended up buying one for myself; and I have to say I am most pleased with my purchase. The most desirable feature is the "Eco Drive." This means the watch never has to be rewound, and batteries never have to be replaced, since the power comes from concealed photo-voltaic cells. For over a year this watch has given me excellent service without any problem whatsoever. It keeps excellent time. About the only occasion I have need to adjust the hour and minute is when we go on and off daylight savings time. It has a very attractive appearance that wears well. After a year of daily use, it still looks practically brand new. If this instrument should fail some time in the future, I will be replacing it with one just like it. Incidentally, the price at this site is nearly 50% cheaper than what the local department stores are charging.
