Great watch. Throw back to my former military days. Has the day of the week in English and Spanish (you select which one to display). This was a surprise.
I just received this watch today. I love the styling and simplicity. I will wear watch as my work watch and keep my other Citizen watch for dress occasion. If this one gets scratched I will still be upset but not as much as if my dress watch gets scratched.
My girlfriend bought me this watch for Christmas several years ago. I think she was tired of me wearing another Citizen that my ex had gotten me for our son’s first Christmas lol. I am a welder by trade and do most of our vehicle maintenance and repairs myself as well as handyman duties for ourselves and several family members. When I say I’m hard on something like a wristwatch I’m putting in mildly at best. This watch especially has given me no problems whatsoever, if you work for a living and need a tough reliable timepiece this is the one for you. Best on the market for the price.
I purchased one of these watches at a military exchange at least 16 years ago in 2006 . It fits great and keeps time like a champ. It was my first Citizen's Eco-Drive. I was skeptical at first; however, I have been very impressed with this watch. The only issue is that the first band wore out after 5 years. Obviously, I bought a new band and another Eco-Drive model; and, I am keeping my Garrison model because it has been so dependable and comfortable. If you're looking for a good military style watch that does not cost a fortune, then this model is the watch for you. Oh yeah, it does not get in the way of long sleeve shirts.
