Review: Very good field watch! - I own several Citizen Eco-Drive watches and they have all been of good quality. This latest one is no exception. The fit and finish is excellent. This is a military style field watch which looks solid and well made. On mine, the second hand lines up with all of the numerals and markers. I consider it a sign of poor quality-control when it does not. The day/date is easy to set with the large crown, which is a little too easy to pull out, in my opinion. Still, no deal breaker. Most important to me, the watch is extremely accurate. I have had mine for a month and; so far, it has gained only 7 seconds. As for appearance, the watch is large with a 42mm diameter case, not including the crown. However, I do not believe it looks "out of place" on my rather small 7-inch wrist; and, I find it does wear comfortably. You may wish to note that the actual crystal diameter is 36mm if you intend to buy a crystal protector, which I did. I cannot comment on the strap as I replaced it with a 22mm Nato strap as soon as I got the watch. I would note that, in my opinion, the watch face is not really black but rather a dark charcoal gray, if that is important to you. My only quibble is that while the hands, numerals and markers are luminescent, it is quite faint while still readable. Also, the shipping time is pretty accurate, so be prepared to wait. I ordered my on 12/30/22 and received it 1/27/23. However, it did come well-packaged and without damage. All in all, and at a price point of around $100, I consider this watch to be a very good buy; and therefore, I would recommend it. Hope you find this helpful......
Review: Great watch, it ended up being from Germany. - Excellent citizen watch that wears smaller than the size/diameter would suggest. The strap is good, but personally I prefer this with leather. Time is accurate and hopefully battery does not need replacing. I opened the watch to see the day reading "die", and was shaken for a moment. Ended up there is a set of days in german and a set in english haha Im still alive.

It took a long time to get to me but it was worth it. Apparently it was shipped from Australia. Citizen Watches are great time pieces. I am very happy with my purchase.
