There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The watch hands and numbers have a gentle luminosity that is easy to read but is not overly bright as many others do. Contrary to the description, my watch has genuine leather (at least on the back side).
This is the perfect weekend watch!
Adding some pictures with different straps / bands.
Update 5-17-15
For those Spanish speaking; the watch also features the day of the week in Spanish and English. Sunday is red with DOM. =)
Update 7-02-16
Uploading some new pictures and conducted LUM Test. Many claim that this piece does not have a LUM. Well, the hands, the numbers and the hours markers do have a LUM. However, within less than 2 hours you could barely see them on a dark room; so they don't hold the charge for a long time. However if you are coming from the outside to a dark room, you can easily see all 3; the hands being the brightest.
Added a picture with a different leather strap. The watch comes alive with a better strap. I am enjoying the watch a lot more with a lighter distressed brown leather strap.
I've had this time piece for over a year now with frequent domestic wear and I cannot find anything wrong with what this piece from Citizen offers. Looks really good as a casual watch, I've change the leather band once just to give it a bit different look; it also looks really handsome with a Nato/Zulu Strap. (sorry for the pictures sideways it is an Amazon thing, pictures display correctly on my PC).
2nd year update: 08/17/2017
After 2 years from original purchase, this watch continues to look as good as it did when I bought it new. The Black Ionized finish is intact and scratch free. The dial is also scratch free. The watch keeps great time with the only minor hiccup that if I charge it directly on sunlight, it usually speeds up a bit before settling down to a gain of about .02 secs per day. This piece is part of my regular rotation specially for weekend wear. I replaced the leather strap with a strap from Clockwork Synergy. The OEM strap was not bad but totally recommend upgrading the leather; it raises the feel and comfort of the watch 100%. The price of this watch is a bargain, no batteries to be replaced.

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022
Even before I wore the watch I exchanged the band for a black 22mm nylon band, my wife loves the look of the watch and band combo. She thought I had lost my mind when she first saw the watch. The leather band and the watch body together are pretty ugly...
Pro's
Matt black
Easy to read
Keeps good time, looks to be very accurate
Excellent size for my not so big wrist
Very nice looking with a black band.
The numbers in the right light look copper and have an orangish glow
Has good weight
Cons
Doesn't really instill an air of confidence that it will last for years
Weak stem feels as though it could break easily
Hard to set date, action not smooth
Too much play when setting the time, again action not smooth
Luminance sucks, nothing else to say, it's a good thing I don't wear my watch for night viewing
Glass scratches easily, I haven't had the watch3 days and noticed two scratches, I put a 3m clear skin on the glass, I hope it doesn't interfere with the charging process,
Overall I do like the watch, but it feels a bit on the cheap side, but not worth sending back either.
Watch and band got here on time thanks Amazon for Prime...
Top reviews from other countries
Lighter in weight and slimmer than I thought. But that is a plus point for me.
It has a black hard anodised case and mineral glass face, so it should be very robust and pretty scratch resistant.
Some people have reviewed and mentioned the strap is of poor quality? All I can say is it looks to be pretty robust, quite thick, well made and very good quality. I don't know if these people are showering or swimming with their watch on! But leather straps are not designed for that. That is why they don't make leather wellys. Leather will quickly loose natural oils and degrade if subject to too much water.
As an every day watch, it is ideal, easy to read and looks superb.
If you register the 5 year warranty on-line with Citizen you get another 1 year bonus. 6 year warranty.
All good.
David.
If this watch is still available after 10- 15 years , I may buy again
