Watch is nice and light. Band does not look like "Pleather." Looks great. Only complaint is that when you use the chronograph function the buttons can be hit by your hand/wrist and prematurely deactivate the function. All three buttons do not screw/lock. I never use the function, so it doesn't really bother me. I'm very happy with it, but feel like it could be about $20-30 cheaper.

Very comfortable. I got this watch last week while on a cruise ship for about $175. It compares favorably to the Seiko Kinetic.

Its a great looking watch. I now own about ten watches, this is the least expensive. For a person who rotates through a collection, its hard to get the watch fully charged when buying in winter. None-the-less, Eco drives are great. I also have a Mickey.
The band on the watch may be too short of you have a larger wrist. I'm at 7.25" and very little is left of the band.

Right from the start this watch is rocking the Eco-Drive technology underneath. That means no more batteries are needed and everything is powered by light. Score one for Citizen. I was looking for a watch that was a bit toned down from a dual tone gold watch I purchased earlier on amazon. I wanted something more casual that I can wear out on a night out on the town yet had enough flash and class to be paired with a Shirt and Tie or a suit for work. This watch fit the bill.

Pros
----------------------
The Highly polished silver bezel with it's dark black face, and striking mirror shine Hour Markers and Yellow Chronograph Hands makes a nice classy statement. It is easy to read the actual time since the hour and minute hands are made thicker and will also illuminate in the dark. The spacing of the watch band holes is fairly granular meaning they are many holes separated only slightly so you should be able to find the hole that fits you perfectly (that's what she said). It's not a very heavy watch, but then again it has a leather strap instead of metal, however the watch has enough heft to it so you know it's stainless steel and not made of plastic. It is also water resistant up to 100 meters so you don't have to worry about getting rained on or getting pushed into a pool by your less than mature drinking buddies. The Crowns are not a screw in type so you can press it immediately. What's also nice is 24 hour dial on it so you can not only tell night from day but it also helps you set the calendar date correctly so it rolls over at midnight

Cons
----------------
I'm not sure how I feel about the black watch band with the white stitching. The Band itself is what prevented this watch from getting the full five stars. It's a bit stiff and feels a bit like pleather (plasticky leather). The insides of the watch band feels more like genuine leather but the outside is a cheap plastic feeling material. Perhaps it will age better. Also the white stitching they could've done without but it does give the watch a unique style to it. The white stitching is not a distraction that you would feel uncomfortable pairing it up with a shirt and tie. Also the watch band doesn't rotate flat. Based on how it's attached to the watch it's in a permanent curved setting so you will not be able to place this watch flat on it's back. This is going to cause the scratches that normally appear on the back on the watch to know appear on the side of the bezel or crown if you are not careful when placing the watch on surfaces that can scratch it.

Summary
-------------
Overall great watch, I have found quite the keeper watch that I can use as my daily watch and not have to worry if it will pair right with what I'm wearing. I'm also uploading a ton of photos unto amazon since it seems actual photos of this watch doesn't seem to exist on the internet, only the professional ones.
3/11/2009 Update: it seems my Watch runs fast about 3 minutes/month or about 6 seconds a day. Not too bad
5/8/2009 update: The watch seems to run better now. After 2 months from my last update my watch is only off 2 seconds now after 2 months.
