Before this I used the navihawk titanium watch.  This is much much better because the design is more fashionable and the watch is bigger than my previous watch.  The thing that stands out most is the crystal used.  Before most of citizen's eco drives has crytals like magnifying glasses.  You can read the time fine straight up but it would be blurred when looked through the sides.  This watch is a big improvement.  The glass is just like other watches, not the magnifying glass type.  Then there is the safety clasp.  It is very light to clip it in and very smooth to open.  The opening mechanism for the clasp is incorporated in the buckle so it is not protruding out of the strap like in previous versions.  The speaker for this watch is way louder than in previous ones.  This watch also has an led backlight available for dark places.  And you would not hesitate to use this light as the watch is always being charged due to its eco drive function!  Lastly the buttons are so cool.  Trapezoidal shapes tilted at the sides of the watch makes it look sleek.

Some gripes of mine is that this is a heavier watch than my previous one.  But this is way bigger and better looking so no biggie.  The more important one is that in order to adjust the modes (chrono, timer, alarm), you have to pull the crown out one click which is unlike my previous watch where you just turn the crown to change the modes.  I guess this has some pros as the modes cannot be changed accidentally.
