I just received this watch and I love it!!  It is extremely classy looking and beautiful.  The contrast of the gold hands and diamond cut gold number markers against the black background make it extremely easy to read even in dim light.  It is extremely lightweight with a thin profile which makes it a joy to wear. I was talking to a woman who sells watches before I made this purchase.  She said the Citizen eco-drives have a proven record of excellence.  She said people come up to her all the time and tell her they've had their Citizen eco-drive watches for years and they love them.
