Let me say first that I'm not going to list a bunch of things I wish this watch had. I'm reviewing the watch as a $225 watch. If you want more features (or complications for the purists), spend more money.

This is a great, easy to read watch that has simple, good looks. It's just a touch large on my 7 1/4" wrist but not ridiculously so. Being a diver, it has a longer than average strap. This hasn't bothered me at all. Again I have a smaller wrist than some. There are still 4 adjustment holes below the one I wear the watch in so it should fit the smallest of male wrists. The weight is good. You know it's there but doesn't pull on your wrist. I read a review that mentioned a large crown. For a dive watch this has a relatively small crown. In fact it is only slightly larger than the crown of most sport styled wrist watches. I have never had a problem with the crown digging into me and I wear the watch all day long. I've worn the watch daily for 3 months. I take it off every night and put it one every morning and have had no problem with the strap. The rubber is pretty robust.
The bezel rotates easily with 60 clicks around the face but will is firm enough to not got bumped out of place. The luminescent markers are extremely bright for a short period after exposure to sunlight and reasonably bright after exposure to interior lighting. The luminescence does fade to dim rather quickly but remains plenty bright to read the watch on my nightstand in the middle of the night. The date window is just the right size and is readable at normal viewing distance. The calendar is not perpetual so you'll have to spend about 5 seconds 5 times a year changing the date. Gasp. The crystal is slightly recessed in the bezel which adds a little protection against scratches. I've bumped the watch a few times and the crystal remains flawless. I have read a review or two mentioning that the watch leaks. I have not had this watch in depths over about 15'. I have snorkeled, swam, showered and perspired with this watch on and have had zero problems. I would suggest that if your watch leaked you either failed to screw down the crown or bought a fake from an unauthorized retailer.
After all that this is a watch and as time goes this watch is near perfect. In the 3 months I've owned the watch it has lost 2 seconds. I check the time on the 1st of the month with the atomic clock at time.gov. Combine that with the fact that this is an eco drive and doesn't need winding or a battery and it's near perfect for the price.
The only knock on this watch for me is the band. Not the integrity of (I would suggest again that you only buy from an authorized dealer) the band but the fact that nothing but Citizens rubber band for this model fits this watch. I will continue to look as this watch is screaming for a ZULU band but have been unsuccessful so far. Other than that, I love this watch and would recommend it.

Edit: It is now 10 months since I bought the watch. I have been taking it off every night and putting it on every morning except for maybe about a dozen times I've worn a different watch. I really love how tough this watch is. But alas, like a lot of other review, my band broke today. 10 months of pretty good wear. Broke in the same spot others have noted; right at the pin in the case. The thing that is so dissappointing is that there is literally no other band that will fit this watch. Everything else is fantastic. The way the crystal sits recessed slightly has protected it from countless scratch opportunities. The face is beautiful. It's easy to read on my wrist, on my night stand and in the water. Time keeping is solid. Oh this darn band. Could be such a great watch. I'll be ammending my rating from 4 stars to 3. I'm tempted to go down to 2 but there is so much that is good about this watch.

Edit 2: Just got off the phone with Citizen. I received an estimate to replace the band on this watch that including tax and S&H came to $71. I cannot in good judgement recommend this watch to anyone. Being that there is literally only one band that fits this watch and that my experience is not unique AND that Citizen has refused to acknowledge this as a defect, I would not purchase this watch again. The Citizen CSR I spoke with gave me a worthless "I'll make a note of it" when I articulately and calmly expressed my concern for the multiple documented failures of this band in a specific location on the band. All of these "notes" recorded by other CSR's at Citizen are sure not to be compiled and directed to the appropriate decision maker leaving any owner of this watch with a $71 annual bill to continue to wear this watch. Total 5 year cost of ownership in excess of $500. Very disappointing as this is a beautiful watch. I'm considering looking to other watch manufacturers for my future purchases.

Edit 3: I compiled the information from other reviewers detailing the common failure of this band and sent it to Citizen's customer serive department. They have agreed to replace the band at no charge. I think that speaks volumes of Citizens committment to customer service. With this particular watch you should be aware of the limited band life and selection but have no concerns about Citizens commitment to quality. If something isn't right, they will make it right.

Edit 4: Spoke with someone from Citizen this week (8/14/2013) after my second band broke in the exact same spot with minimal wear. Citizen has addressed the issue with this band and have made the band out of a stronger material and reinforced the area around the lugs pins. I'll update this post one more time when I see how the new band wears.
