Well... I'm wearing this watch now and have to say I really like it. Accuracy has been stunningly accurate (It's easy to set the second-hand accurately), as I synchronized it with an atomic-clock-set Casio about 3 weeks ago and the second hands are STILL in perfect synch. In addition, at least on my watch, the second hand is exactly aligned with the second-markings on the watch face.

The Casio is also SOLAR POWERED, and that's a REAL benefit. It's the other major selling point for this EcoDrive Citizen. Wore my favorite old TAG Heurer dive watch for about 19 years. The batteries and service cost about $100 every couple or three years, and then TAG stopped supporting it altogether, effectively destroying it. To add insult to injury, TAG offered an insignificant discount off FULL RETAIL on a new TAG watch. Like anybody would pay full price in the first place. I'll never forgive them, and won't buy another TAG again for the shortsighted lapse.

The markings on this Citizen glow brightly and last longer than the old TAG Heurer watch ever did but I still can't see the time during a movie that's approaching the 2-hour mark. If your shirtsleeve slips over the dial, you won't have much glow for practical use.

It does look great, but the dial marks are more pronounced in person than it looks in the images here. It's no Breitling, after all, and the marks are more "lurid" than the image appears here.

One cosmetic minus is the word, "NIGHTHAWK," written on the face. It's juvenile, frankly, and cheapens the otherwise excellent looks of the face. The European market version doesn't have that.

Still haven't studied how to use the calculator in the manual, but it's there and I'm sure I can learn it if I take the time.

The bracelet is EXCELLENT quality. Strong, heavy, well-made and secure on my wrist. Again, it's MUCH better than my old TAG dive watch (faint praise, but still!).

The watch face is a bit larger than I expected but my wrist is big enough that it looks really great. Although the reason I was shopping for a watch in the first place is because I had some user-experience issues with my Casio Waveceptor (buttons too-easily reset the timezone when I moved my hand, and the resin wrist strap is irritating), the cosmetic appeal of this watch is undeniable. I feel great wearing it and find myself checking it out when nobody's looking!

Can't think of a single practical reason to downgrade this watch, and if you like the looks and features, there's no reason you shouldn't buy it. If I lost it today I'd buy another.

UPDATE: Just wanted to mention that it's now February 8, 2011 and this Citizen watch is STILL entirely in synch with my trusty, atomic-clock driven Casio. The second-hands are exactly together, just as they were in December when I synchronized them. Pretty impressive...!

UPDATE 2: Late May 2011 and the watch is still performing perfectly. It's survived some rough work during weekend home improvement projects... both crystal and metal bits are quite sturdy so far.
