I love this watch. All watches should be no battery. I've had this watch for 3-4 years and it still keeps perfect time. The diamonds are miniscule (expected), but not a dissapointment. Don't rely on the date as it is minimally visible depending on one's eyesight. That is a dissapointment. Inspite of the date, I'd have another Citizen in a heart beat. We farm and raise livestock so I'm hard on jewelry. This watch has withstood it all very well. The crystal withstands hard work. The band is still in great shape. My husband also has a Citizen and feels the same way. If you are at all practical, this watch is it.
