I purchased this for my wife and she actually loves it. She has owned two other Citizen watches and this one stands up to the expectations she had based on how the other two watches were. The band on this on is a little wider than she is used to but it's still feminine looking and classy looking. The one complaint she had was that the date in the date window is a little hard to read. She is going to have to take it to a watch shop to get a link or two taken out; she has small wrists so it was a little bit too big. The blue face looks very nice also.
