After years of going without a chronometer, I got sick of looking at my phone handset to check the time.
I decided that I wanted to relive my first Citizen watch experience, and I am delighted with this watch!
Thrilled that I could buy a small diameter case.
Band is excellent, comfortable, and didn't require extra modifications for my very small wrist.
The casing sits very comfortably on the skin, with no pressure points even when tight.
The gorgeous watch face has an uncluttered appearance, even with detail, because the features are so well designed in both colour and size. This watch is very easy to read at a glance.
Of course the watch was easy to set, keeps perfect time, and the date is a feature which I greatly appreciate.
I chose this combination of silver casing with gold hands and winder for versatility of styling, and have received compliments on this aspect.
On the back of the watch case, right in the centre and in black bold, are letters saying 'assembled in china' which looks inelegant and dampens the vibe somewhat, but that doesn't interfere with the overall fine appearance, only a minor point.
This is a beautiful watch for the price, very happy.

I live outside metropolitan area and the delivery from Shiels was quick, thank you for that.

Didn't stop working when I tripped on concrete and hit my head so hard, I had to be hospitalised. I broke my fall with my side and the watch took some of the impact and was still fine while my head was very much not. 10/10
