Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this watch about a week ago after a loooong search, and I am extremely satisfied.Really high contrast, easy to read, and has a bit of glow in the dark on the hands to aid in ease of reading -- but not enough to be ugly.Beautiful and sleek, yet functional, if not utilitarian.The dial is an elegant graph-like design that does not distract from, but indeed adds to the ease of, reading the time.
The band has two finishes, matte in the center, while the "I-shape" piece that comprise the outer edge of the band and run through the center are polished (shiny).Enough to attract the eye, but I do not feel as though I am wearing a diamond tennis bracelet, and there is no glare from the frame or bracelet to distract in reading the time.
The clasp is great, I never fumble to put it on or take it off.
I only have two ideas that would make this a more perfect watch - it could have the date (which may cause an increase in depth, defeating it's current characteristic; it's nice and shallow, wearable while typing) and it could meet the first real level of Citizen's water-resistance, as opposed to the basic "it's fine if you don't 'submerge' it" (where by 'submerge' we mean getting all of it wet!) level of WR, where I don't feel comfortable washing a single coffee mug!
Overall, I love this watch and would highly recommend it to my dearest friend.
