Great watch. Solid and Easy to Read

I really like the simple, uncluttered design of this watch. And the Eco-Drive never-needs-batteries aspect is great.

I am happy with the watch but I have two gripes...

1) the date window is so small that it's hard to read.
2) the watchband is terrible. The holes-with-rivets design makes the holes farther apart so getting the right fit is hit-or-miss. On my wrist, one hole makes the watch too tight while adjacent hole makes it loose enough that the watch face kept working its way to the side of my wrist. I bought a 20mm leather watchband to replace the factory canvas one. Problem solved... Plus I like the look of the leather band better. I wore automatic watches for years before tiring of their tendency to lose or gain time--even the expensive ones are difficult to keep accurate within 10 seconds a day--and their need for regular (and expensive) maintenance to retain whatever accuracy they possess. When I switched to quartz watches, I appreciated the fact that they tended to be less expensive and were accurate, but disliked the idea of a battery quitting on me at an inopportune moment and found it difficult to find one with the features I desired. The Citizen eco-drive seems to be the best of both worlds, and the watch designs are much more "classic" than Seiko kinetics with their similar concept. This model has water resistance to 200 meters with its screw-down crown--a feature rare in less expensive watches--and markings that glow like a flashlight in the dark. Why do so few watch manufacturers appreciate that we like to be able to read the time at night as well as in the day? This is a large watch, easily the largest I have ever owned, but looks proportional on my medium wrist and the quality ballistic cloth strap fits the watch size. Its metal-rimmed holes should prevent fraying as well. It would be easy to upgrade to a leather band if a more formal look were desired, and the watch itself certainly looks formal enough to wear to work with this or a more formal band. Accuracy is excellent, as expected, and you can set the time to the second. This is a lot of watch for the money, and fills the role of two or three lesser watches that lack its combination of style and features.
