I love this watch.  I can see how people might have a problem reading the dials, but for the average person, this shouldn't be an issue.  It's got great features and is extremely cool looking.

I orginally purchased this watch with the bracelet style band.  After two years, I was sick of that band (it's a bit heavy).  After zero help from Citizen's customer service, I got a jewelry store to order the rubber band style.  I didn't like the quick clasp (I know I'm particular) because I wanted to use it for more active pursuits.  So - here's what worked for me and I wanted to share it with you in case you had the same desire.

I bought a $10 Timex rubber band (make sure it's 20mm).  Take the band to a jewelry store and have them canabalize the buckle, "arm" and rubber holders.  Then switch them over to your Citizen.  It should take about 10 minutes, tops.  With this modification, this is simply the perfect watch - stylish, tough, functional, and no need for a battery!
