This is the only luxury watch I have ever owned.  It has a quiet classic look; it's super thin, light, comfortable, and makes an elegant impression. A simple face; I'd wear it with or without a suit but it would look out of place with shorts or on the beach.  It is as small a watch as most men would wear and if 2 mm smaller, I would not have it.  It is easy to wear, not like the hulking monstrosities purchased by the currently fashionable.

The sapphire window is great for scratch resistance, but it is more highly reflective than glass. The new model has an anti reflective coating but cost $100 more.  Eco drive is not a hoax, while the lithium rechargeable battery needs to be replaced rarely, it will not need to be replaced often.

Make no mistake about this it's designed for elegance and does not look bulky or macho.  More like an epee than a battleaxe.  The hands are very thin and if your eyes are not working well the combination of thin hands and reflectivity affect readability sometimes.  No luminous feature on hands or dial, this is not the watch to wear for night ops.  Think "refined, but not trying too hard".

The bracelet's combination of small parts with alternating brushed and polished links lends a subtle grace to what could be a monolithic form.  It is very supple, and conforms to the wrist. I did not think that it would make a difference, but it is significantly more comfortable than less complex bracelets from Citizen's standard eco drive series which are in turn more comfortable than the $10 aftermarket stuff I own.  The formed after-market bracelet is lighter though.  I might put this on an 18mm leather strap.  As supplied to me (used, essentially new) the watch fits my 8.12 inch wrist well, so the average guy will need to remove a link or two using a standard watch-band pin tool which is cheap if you want a tool that will only last long enough to do the job for a few watches.
