Citizen Men’s Sport Luxury Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch, 12/24 Hour Time, Date, 100 Meters Water Resistant, Stainless Steel

Everything as expected
It’s a nice watch added to the collection, looks really good on hand, the metallic mesh band is very elegant and also customizable, so it will fit perfectly on your hand.
It seems that it had a bit of charge out of the box, but I’ll leave it under a direct (under 20cm distance) LED desk lamp to recharge overnight, I’ll also leave them under sunlight around the windows whenever possible (at least for the first week or so), it’s stated in the online manual that it will need ~45 hours to fully charge on a cloudy day under the sunlight.
By the way, it would’ve been nice to have the manual in the box, but at least it’s easy to find the (generic) manual in their website.
The fluorescence of the hands and hour dots are really bright and mine had nice bluish color.
Of the features, the chronograph works perfectly as expected, the manual also states to set the time 5 minutes ahead of the real time then slowly rewind back to the current time whenever setting the time, for the time keeping to be more accurate because of some gear movements inside.
To be honest, it would be great to see Citizen use scratch resistant sapphire instead of some mineral as the face protective layer, as they do for other high-end models, the technology is not new and I think it wouldn’t make it that much more expensive, I hope this one will be resistant enough🤞🏻
Overall, this is the first day I received the watch, I’m quite happy with my purchase, it’s nice knowing you won’t need to replace the battery anytime soon 😛

Nice watch
Excellent

One of my favorites.
It’s my 6th. I wear it at least 3 work days.

Would not charge
I really was hoping to love this watch. I bought it for the world time setting, but I found that the printing for the world time was so small, I couldn’t read it. It had no light option making it very difficult to read. The watch didn’t feel as solid as other Citizen watches I’ve owned, but it looked great so I thought I’d try it. I set the time, replaced the band to a leather band and by the following morning it had stopped working. Knowing it’s an eco drive, I made sure it had 24 hours of light that day and it seemed to work fine. However, on the following morning, it had again stopped. I tried one more time and when I got the same results, I returned the watch. That was May 12th, and Amazon says that I am due a full refund by June 3rd. However, their message also says that I may not get the total refund after they inspect the watch. We will see.
