I am quite happy with my watch. It is comfortable and real nice. I am really impressed that a watch like this costs this little.

The only little detail is that it doesn't have a rotating bezel, so you can't time stuff. That is the only negative. But since I don't really need it. I don't mind at all.

Best watch I've ever had.

This is a great looking watch and I'm really happy w/ it for the price. However, the photos and packaging are a little deceiving...this is not an eco-drive watch. I did some hunting around online and discovered that this model is several years old, which probably explains the drop in price. For some reason its currently sold in the eco-drive packaging.

This watch looks more expensive than it is, but it's not cheap either. In other words, it's a good buy for someone on a budget who wants to wear a nice-looking dress watch without spending hundreds of dollars.

Pros:
+blue face (my fav color...might not matter to you)
+glow-in-the-dark hands & number pips (takes a couple days of light exposure to "charge;" quite useful in dark places obviously)
+relatively easy to adjust to the size of your wrist (I had to take out a link and shift the main adjustment pin one slot tighter; it fits perfectly now, however)
+solid clasp and general feel

Cons:
-no rotating dial; not a big deal if all you care about is the time
-will probably need a size adjustment to fit your wrist (but what watch doesn't? And like I said, it's relatively simple to do [with a hard counter, a hammer, and a tiny screwdriver or awl])

Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to add a touch of sophisticated style to his right or left wrist without spending a ton of money.

This watch is a great purchase for someone looking for that dress/casual watch or just a men's watch for all occasions. Good, sturdy construction. Water resistant, although I haven't tested the limits of the watch on this. The watch does scratch a little from wear and tear (light scratches) under the wrist if you aren't careful. Overall, a great value for a quality watch. I love it.

One of the best watches I'v ever owned. Have received numerous admirations in the short time I purchased the watch. Easily less money than at a watch/jewelry store.

This watch really does look more expensive than it appears. It's a great buy for someone who just wants a nice-looking watch thats not too dressy when worn casual and not too casual to be worn with a suit.

First, my whole reason for buying a new watch was for one feature: Readability when driving around town in the dark. And compared to my fossil collection it is quite readable in the dark. Still being fairly new I don't exactly know how long that will last, but for the price it isn't bad.

I paid about $115USD at Kay Jewelers in the local mall. Through the store I received a lifetime battery replacement warranty...Well, on to the quick stuff:

Pros:

Water resistant to 100 Meters
Very readable in low or no light (At least for a few hours)
Clasp very secure (Double push-button with fold-over)
Band and case quite sturdy
Dial nicely sized for the average person

Cons:

Dial doesn't rotate (Could be a pro depending on how you look at it)
Somewhat plain looking in my opinion, you're not going to win any awards with its looks (If you want looks, in my humble opinion, buy a Fossil)
It does pinch the occasional hair or two, nothing too bad but it happens.


Overall an excellent watch for the price. This watch is a perfect daily wear, just don't try to be overly dressy with it. This is the reason I rate it 4 stars, its not as pretty as some, but still not too bad. Durable, easy to read, and decent water resistance; I would buy another one.

This watch looks much more expensive than it is. The dial is virtually identical to the iconic $7,000+ Rolex Submariner (not an accident I'm sure), and the overall presentation evokes very expensive watches from Tag Heuer, Omega, and Breitling. People will think you spent several hundred dollars on this watch. The numbered bezel adds a sporty touch, but appearances to the contrary it does not rotate; if it did I'd give this watch 5 stars. The hands and hour markers glow in the dark; the watch is readable when nature calls at 3am. The edges of the hour markers are highly polished and really sparkle in bright light for a bit of bling. After over one year of wear the crystal has one minor scratch, courtesy of the edge of my computer case; otherwise it is unmarked. The bracelet is good but it does rattle a bit with arm movement. The clasp is secure; I've owned two Citizen watches with metal bracelets and neither one has ever come off accidentally. The battery-powered quartz movement is very accurate; my watch loses four seconds per month. (Note: this watch does NOT have a light-powered Eco-Drive movement.) I haven't tested the watch's water resistance since I have no need to expose it to water (I don't wear it in the shower because soap and hot water are not good for any watch).

A watch like this makes you realize just how grossly over-priced so many of the Swiss-made watches are. (OK, I admit it, I'd love owning a Breitling).

I bought this watch about 3 months ago, and it is great. The blue face looks very good, and the finish on the band is wonderful for the price. As to the watch's ability to keep time, mine runs about 0.75 of a second fast each week which is not too bad considering how much the watch costs. The weight and size of the watch is about right, and the face has avoided any scratches despite being abused quite a bit. Overall, I would buy this watch again without hesitation.

The only drawback is that the glow in the dark hands do not glow for more than a few hours nor do they glow very bright. However, I can usually read the watch even at night providing that there is just a little bit of light since the face is so bright and reflects any available light very well.

The watch band is a little stiff up close to the watch on both sides but other then that its ok keeps good time.
