Review: Could hardly be better - Purchased this watch last year and am very satisfied with its appearance, never needing new battery (powered by light), comfortable to wear, and comfortable warch band. I’d give this watch a 95% rating as the initial instructions on setting the watch were a bit confusing, but apart from that I couldn’t be more pleased😌 Also felt the price point for this level of quality watch was quite reasonable.
Review: Good every day watch. Buy it since citizen discontinued this one! - This has been my every day watch for about a year. It is a very legible and good looking watch. The time accuracy is good for the price as well. I’ve had to adjust the time maybe 3 times since I’ve had it. It even held up to the shock and vibration of going to the shooting range and shooting 12 gauge double ought buckshot. The crystal did scratch when I hit a metal door frame but it’s not very deep. The leather strap has stretched and will need to be replaced. Overall can’t complain much. Pick this up before they’re gone since citizen discontinued this watch
