when i opened the amazon package--i instantly felt good about buying citizen's eco drive canvas strap watch.  The watch looks sharp, feels sturdy, and has an athletic/military feel to it.

the face and size of the watch is just the right size for my preferences.  If you prefer the bigger face/size style of watches--you may be disappointed with the size--but for me it was ideal.  one point that other reviewers noted is that the second hand does not align with the seconds on the face of the watch.  its not a big deal to me--but this is the only watch i've ever bought that does not align properly.  For this reason--i rated it 4 stars rather than 5 stars.

the day and date feature seems like it's sunken into the face a bit and does appear small--but i have no trouble reading the date and day when i look at my wrist.
