We returned a nice-looking Bulova watch whose cheap band was very uncomfortable and got this instead. This watch has no real bad points. It's quite small, that's true. When you're not a watch expert, it's pretty hard to judge the size of a watch from published dimensions, even with a ruler. But this was only slightly smaller than other watches my wife has liked, so it's still ok. She can't read the tiny date, but that's not a big flaw. Thanks to black numbers and on a white dial, it's easy enough to read the time. The Eco-drive is a huge plus, too. And the band is very good quality - you would easily pay $50 for an equivalent replacement! Everything to love. This watch is a fine product and a good value.

If I had a single complaint, it would be this: my wife wanted a gold-tone case. The only similar watches from Citizen with gold cases have dials that are very difficult to read, unlike this watch. So it's not a problem of this watch, but of Citizen's product line that doesn't offer this in a gold case.
