The watch looks good. The chronograph dials are edged in gold colour and this looks expensive. The watch looks good with a black band as shown on the website. This looks like leather so I would not swim with it on.  The watch is brand new from Citizen USA in California. The watch has a tag on it and is in the proper box with a warranty book, instruction book and CD of instructions (which seem the same as the book). The instructions do not match the operation of the watch exactly. For example, the book refers to actions taken to set time and date but I had to fiddle with it and press another button (the button marked 'A' in the instructions) to get the 'set' function to work. It keeps good time but the perpetual function seems to have difficulty determining the right date. A process of trial and error seems to be required to set the watch 'year' (so that it knows when it is a leap year or not in order to determine the correct date every month). This is the one annoying feature of the watch - it's hard to set.

The watch came showing what I assume is the date and local time for where it left the factory (so it will be operating when you get it).  Remember it looks sporty but is not for diving - get a divers model with a screw down crown for that. I think these watches have got cheaper and are about $270 now (down from $281). This is excellent value.
