 Great watch, but the band could use some work. Sep 23, 2008
By Film Fan
Like my other Citizen watch, the chronograph itself is fantastic. It has a good size and weight without being distracting, the timekeeping is flawless. The tick is completely silent, and despite the polish, the case is remarkably scratch resistant. The luminous hands and numbers light up a pale blue instead of the normal 'radioactive' green, so that was a pleasant surprise. The band adjusts much more finely than my other one, which is an improvement. The hole arrangement will adjust to fit someone with larger wrists far better than the top-selling green canvas band watch.
But also like my other Citizen, the band needs some work. It is comfortable to wear and adjusts finely enough, but the retaining loops keep slipping down, leaving the strap with the holes to flap around. The band is molded to the case contours, so it will be difficult to replace with a band that actually matches. While the luminous features are nice, it seems to go dim much faster (1-2 hours) than my other watch, which has the standard Tritium green hands and numbers and stays lit for 6+ hours.
This watch is much more about form than function. While it gets an A+ for form, the contoured shape and floppy band do not lend themselves to getting 100% marks for function. 4 out of 5 for the band.

Great watch with 1 flaw Jan 25, 2008
By T. Anderson
I bought this watch some time ago and really like the design but there is one flaw. The band is rubber and while designed to look like the tread of a tire the little loops to slide the end of the band into break rather easily. I've had to super glue both of them back together about 5 times so far. It would be nice to have a metal band alternative that would fit the unique design of the watch face.
Otherwise it's a nice watch.

Very nice Jan 01, 2008
By Richard

I've had the watch for about two months. I wear it every day and it's still un-scratched. I haven't had to think about the solar feature, it just works. The watch does seem to gain about 15 seconds a month -- I don't know if that's good or bad in a watch at this price. It's comfortable and I like the design.
I found this watch on Citizen's web site a few months ago, but none of the retailers I visited seemed to have one. My search was casual, if I was in a department store, I checked out the watch case. I know nothing about the watch business, but I can guess how it works. Someone makes a decision on the watches that make it to the case. It could be the store buyer or it could be the maker's marketing department. However it's done, this watch didn't make the cut and that's a shame. The good news is that I haven't seen it on anyone else's wrist.
Buying your watch online seems to be the way to go. The prices are lower and you get to the arbiter of your own taste, not some faceless store buyer.
Amazon's partner, Princeton Watches, delivered the watch in a timely manner and it arrived undamaged.

Nice looking watch, works great! May 22, 2008
By Jet
My bf loves it, and so do I! It's a nice looking watch, if you don't mind the strap. The material looks a little bit like a tire, but it goes together with the overall look of the watch. Accurate and lighted weight. Highly recommended!

love it! Mar 01, 2008
By N. Iwabuchi
I love the look of this watch, and the fact that it is solar-powered. Haven't seen anyone else with it - I like that it's a bit unique. It's just what I was looking for.
