I love Citizen watches. I have had my other traditional battery watch since 1998 and nothing has gone wrong (except by my own doings.)

This watch is better looking in person than in pictures and the video. The pearl face is more iridescent. The gold on the band is more pronounced. The diamonds sparkle but are not glaring. It is enough to make it look like your every-day casual watch while also being somewhat dressed up.

The size is about medium to large for a woman's watch. When I first saw it in the case, I was a little hesitant on if it was a woman's or not. It is a lot more obvious it is a woman's when it is on; I have smallish wrists.

My watch came with a 6-year limited warranty but I don't think I will need to use it because the eco-drive is great. I have had no other problems with the other eco-drive I have owned for over 4 years.

If you like this watch in pictures and like some sparkle without being ostentatious, you will like this watch. If you are on the fence about buying it, you won't be once you have it on your wrist.

I've spent the last 8 months trying to get the right watch for me, and this watch met all my criteria. It is really pretty, 2-toned to match my gold or silver jewelry, can be worn dressy to casual, has a second hand, the contrast between the numbers (representation in this case) and the MOP face was good, it glows in the dark, the added Citizen benefit of the Eco-drive--which I love the solar power, and the calender.
Let's be clear about the calender--you can't read it. It's so hard to see. I can read the Eco-drive on the face, which is very small and light font, easier. The box is small (which probably could have been taken care of with magnification), and the contrast behind the MOP face makes it a dark small box with something written on it.
As you can see, the watch still rates 4 stars for me because the other elements are great, and I am keeping and wearing the watch. But to not be able to read the calender, to me, is a design flaw that could have easily been rectified.

I bought this watch through amazon one month ago when it was on sale. The shipping was very fast. I am very pleased with my purchase. The real watch looks a lot better than its picture. I am very happy with the look and quality. I got a lot compliment on this watch. I strongly recommend this watch to you.

I've had this watch for close to a month now, and I am still receiving compliments. This is a watch that you can dress up or dress down. The two-tone matches both my gold and silver jewelry. It is a beautiful watch, you cannot go wrong with it.
In the dark, the arms and dots glow making it easy to tell the time.
I love the Eco-drive feature, never have to change a battery EVER!
You'll be happy you bought this watch!!

This watch is everything the description says it is. I really can't add anything except it's beautiful without being ostentatious. Watch arrived in perfect condition. I am more than pleased with my purchase!

The watch works great and is of good quality. Don't expect the diamond accents to show up like they do in the pics though, or to have that same amount of "sparkle".

An absolutely perfect watch for the modern business woman. Great looks,not too fancy or too plain. Just perfect.

A very nice, attractive, yet functional watch.

Beware, though, you can get a much better price on it, just about anywhere. Example Kohls Dept store 40% off not 25% same watch. Dito at JC Penny if you use your Pennys card etc. I really haven't found Amazon to be very good on prices this year. The 25% off
is a general discount offered by all retailers. Amazon should do much better than that.

This watch is beautiful, practical and works like a charm. No need for batteries or resetting unless you don't wear it for a while. Otherwise, it works as stated in its description. I would recommend this for yourself or a great gift.

I think this is a very pretty watch, plus it has a look of quality about it. It looks expensive in spite of the fact that the diamonds are very tiny. When I view it next to my husband's Rolex Submariner, this watch looks like the feminine version of it.

I can easily read the hands on this watch without my glasses even though it isn't a huge watch. I love that.
