I like watches but watches of all kinds don't break much. At least decent watches don't. I have had Seiko, Hamilton, Bulova. I own now a Cartier and a Rolex and a Hublot. All of those named cost 5 grand or more. I love this watch. It is light, it is a great looking watch and I don't have to screw with keeping it on a winder. Once I got the band sized at a watch store it is easier to fasten than my others. The band is smooth and the clasp holds it snug. The watch looks classier than my other watches and I have had several compliments on the looks of it. In fact, I got it for xmas and I have not had it off. The others are in my safe. It's a little difficult to set but the CD that came with it was pretty easy to follow with my laptop. I would buy it again or give it as a gift. I actually saw the watch advertised on TV. A ladies watch shown in the ad. I pulled up the Citizen mens watch on the internet and liked the idea of 'no battery' and no winder. Will I ever use all the gizmos on the dial face (probably not!) but I have them if I want to! The face of the watch is a snap to read in the dark. Not one of my other watches could I read at the movie. I love the brightness of the dial in the dark. (I had no luck using the band tool to adjust the links. I would not recommend the band sizer and although I'm not good at instructions on everything, this seemed pretty simple. If you buy the watch just spend 10 bucks at a watch store and let them adjust it for you. Other than that I would repurchase the watch)
