I bought this watch to replace a very similar Fossil watch which I'd lost. This Citizen watch is almost twice the price of the Fossil one and I'm not sure the quality of the steel is better. In fact, this watch feels lighter and the clasp less sturdy than the Fossil one. However the design is classic and minimalist. I find the face very attractive and  pleasing to look at umpteen times a day. It's easy to set and seems to keep good time so far and I love the fact that there's no battery to replace. So far it's been a great purchase and worth the sale price of $135. Not sure I'd want to pay any more than that for a basic stainless steel watch. But I like it a lot and would recommend it.
