I've had this watch for about a week. Thus far, I am very pleased with it. The watch looks great and is easy to read. The hands glow brightly in the dark, and looks just as good wearing a suit or with jeans. I work in an office all day and the watch hasn't needed to be reset despite not getting direct sunlight very often. So it does what it claims.

The watch is bigger than I expected. But its not to large that it tacky, but I was expecting it to be a little smaller. I'm 6'3' and the canvas strap fits fine, although I've been wearing it on a notch one tighter than normal to get the band to conform to my wrist better. But is isn't too small, which I read was a problem for Citizens other canvas watch bands.

Overall, a very comforable and stylish watch. I also own an Omega Speedmaster, which is great, but this keeps better time, can be left unworn without losing time, and I don't worry about it getting banged up at all. I got a scratch on my Omega and it cost $800 to get it fixed. So I bought this to wear daily and save the Omega for important business meeting or when fine watch is stylish. I'd recommend it.

Seriously, it's the perfect casual watch! I purchased this for a casual & sharp looking watch. Very impressed. You can wear this with jeans or with a dress shirt & slacks. Classic design with large watch dial. I am 6'3" so I want a watch with a larger watch dial. Never loses charge; no battery issues what-so-ever. The canvas strap has a clean & crisp look to it. Wasn't quite sure how to interpret "canvas strap" but I dig it. Plus, it's not leather so it can get wet along with the timepiece (WR 100M). It is easy to set and also contains a chronograph if you want to time how long it takes the 22 year old community college waitress to find you a table at your local brewery. The only warning I'd issue is "watch out" for the shorter wrist strap. I have larger wrists and I'm on the third hole from the end. If you have big wrists, you might need to replace the band; replacement bands are cheap & I'd recommend this watch even if I had to replace the band.

I have a discontinued version of this watch (AT0060-05F) which differs only in that the case is titanium and the second hand is not red nor the water resistance mark on the dial. I find the 46mm case size for my 7.25" wrist to be about perfect. It is bold but not vulgar. The strap is fairly comfortable but the shape of the watch back makes it stand off your wrist a bit. This deficiency is only noticeable in relation to other very comfortable watches such as my Casio PRG90T. The face is very legible even from extreme angles. The date aperture is small however and you will not be able to just glance at it in anything but bright outdoor light. Accuracy in the month that I have owned this watch is excellent - it has lost less than 15 seconds. At night, the hands and numerals glow blue (see my photo). The crystal, although mineral, seems to be pretty scratch resistant, mine is still flawless. Finally, the watch is water resistant to 200m which adds greatly to its readiness for duty as a tool watch. Because of the detailing of this watch (chromed numeral edges, knurled crown, brushed finish) you could wear it with office casual or in other semi-formal modes without concern. I have had more compliments about this watch than another much more expensive watch that I own. Finally, the eco drive solar power means no battery changes and high reliability and availability.

I'm extremely pleased with my Citizen watch. I like the Eco-Drive technology, now you never have the hassle of replacing the battery. The size of the watch is just right for a chronograph. This is the kind of stuff that's so good you want to buy a couple extra for spares.

I was looking for a watch that I could wear anywhere and not worry about busting it or attracting the wrong attention, I found it with this Citizen eco-drive. I like the larger dial, I am 6'1 and the proportion fits me well. I bought the watch a little more than two months ago and It has held up very well no marks and I have not been easy on it. I am very happy with this watch.

A beautiful watch, looks even better in person. Too, I really like having a watch that will never need a battery. I rock climb and mountain bike a lot, and the watch has held up to everything.

Very happy with this purchase. Wanted a chrono watch with fabric band, this one looks and works great. Watch band is sized well and big enough for a man's wrist (tried other brands in similar styles that were strangely small/uncomfortable). the face of it is pretty big, might look odd on thin arm. Excellent value.

having used this for a couple of weeks, it's a decent watch overall.

GOOD: VERY easy to read the time/date whether day or night. definitely usable as an everyday watch. accurate time, zero maintenance after initial charge.

BAD: the canvas band takes a little getting used to (several days) before it molds to your wrist. however, i actually liked the canvas look (rugged and sporty).

UGLY: the big face of the watch was ultimately the downfall for me. while easy to read, it also is really big and ultimately never sat well on my wrist (i'm 6' but thin) which is why i ended up returning the watch.

Got this watch last week here on Amazon and all I can say is that it is beautiful. This is my second Citizen Eco-Drive watch. I already have a dress watch but needed something more casual. Well, this is the watch I was exactly looking for. Just like my other Eco-Drive, this watch is extremely well made and very accurate. By the way, pics do not do the watch justice! Looks nicer that my Tag! I will be switching the band to a Zulu band to give it a more military style look.
