Great price for a very good watch.The complaints, the band, small watch mm (face) size and time keeping.The band- very well made and "breaks in" over time.Watch mm size- the smaller face size is perfect for wearing during cold weather outdoor activities where you will be pulling back a jacket sleeve (skiing, hiking, backpacking, etc). It is smaller and does not have Chronograph posts that can break if you pull back a velcro closed sleeve.Time keeping- it is solar charged. Put it on a window sill in the sun to fully charge. If it starts slowing down, it needs to be charged. Stop wearing it for a day or two and charge it.Excellent product for the Amazon price.

Not too small. Great Value. 5+stars
Specs show Case Width 37mm. and it's a 37mm watch. So ignore reviews about being too small and lower ratings. That's like ordering 27 inch bicycle tires and complaining that they are "Too Small" because your bike needs 29 inch tires. . . This is my second purchase of this same watch. I thought I had lost it, but it was misplaced. I ordered another one so I have two (One in Silver and this one is black). They keep great time (don't know about this one, but they are identical with same movements). I have never had it go to batter because of lack of light. It's been on campling trips, hiking trips, and worn around town. Only a few (almost un-noticeable) scratches after years of wear. I would say for a simple looking timepiece, this is a great value.

Very small strap
The watch is nice, the citizen app is poor. I tired to register the watch on the app, unsuccessful. Had to go on pc.The strap is very short. I'm now spending another $20 buying a of brand watch band because I'm not a noodle wristed man. Maybe having man sized arms isn't normal anymore.Irritating.

Great simple watch!
Really nice looking watch. Clean look, very readable, and perfect alignment. The strap is not the most comfortable, but still acceptable and well made.For those less familiar with the Citizen Eco-Drive watches, if you experience the seconds hand skipping seconds, most likely the lithium battery charge is very low. Stop the watch, and let the battery charge for hours in direct sunlight or by poiting a flashlight about 1-2 inches away from the watch face (I would suggest to avoid going over 1200 lumens).For those experiencing the date not adjusting properly, please note from the Citizen manual:"Avoid performing the calendar quick setting operation between the below listed times:For watches equipped with both date and day display...9:00 PM-4:30 AM."

Love the watch, Hate the band!
So far I love this watch, easy to read and self-charging! The band on the other hand is terrible, for a quality watch I was surprise how bad the watch fit. The holes on the band are too far apart. it's either too big or too tight. I ordered a quality aftermarket band and it works fantastic! Fits properly.

I see why this is flagged as a “frequently returned item”
The day function stopped working on the second day. Not the sort of quality I was expecting, so I returned it. I owned a Citizen many, many years ago and loved how beautiful and well made it was. After owning several other brands, I thought I’d try Citizen again now that it has eco drive technology. At least the watch kept time well for how briefly I used it. I still want the eco drive, so perhaps what I’ll do is find a model without the day/date complicating matters.

Absolutely love it!
I have been looking for a decent field watch for several months now. Finally decided on this one and figured I would give it a try, it checks most of the boxes for me. When it arrived in the mail and I started wearing it, I found that I actually really really like this watch! There was another more expensive one that I kinda wanted a little more, but I'm actually really glad I went with this one. I got the black version which looks really sharp, apparently can only be bought on Amazon.The only things I would hesitantly complain about is that the watch band it comes with is pretty ugly, mostly just the metal eyelets, easily replaceable though. And the lume doesn't appear to be very strong. Pretty difficult to see in the dark, but I also haven't let it sit in direct sunlight much at all yet to charge the lume.I'm a mechanic and my wife and I own and operate a small ranch. So I really needed something tough, small (so it doesn't impede work), and easy to read, but also good looking enough I can wear on a date night with a quick clean up. This definitely seems to meet that criteria!

Unisex watch
I love this watch! I’m a woman with pretty small wrists, so I was worried about the fit. But the other reviews were right—the band is quite small (I’m on the 4th hole), and the face might be small for a man. However, it’s perfect for me! I know this was designed for a man, but as a very practical woman who values function over style, I wish this were tagged as unisex so I wouldn’t have had to shop quite so hard. The time retention and accuracy are on point—I checked it against my phone and atomic clock—right to the second. I’ve not had to make any adjustments in 4 days.
