The strap is really tiny. I hope it lasts otherwise the watch is beautiful

The watch is nice, except that it gains about an hour a day.  I think I'll have to find out about having it replaced.

12/31/2014: I have owned the watch for just over 3 weeks now.  Does not require a battery to run just need to ensure you wind it twice a day or so, I find i do it quite often now out of habit. A few complaints I have so far is the minute hand seems to fall behind every few days where I find myself resetting the time after it starts to fall behind a few minutes, I'm not sure if it's not counting seconds properly or what, I don't claim to be a watch expert.  While the band had a leather smell to it and still seems to be holding up so far, however the 2 straps that you tuck the excess band into do not seem to be made out of leather as I can already see a bit of wear on them and they definitely are not as shiny as the rest of the leather band. I don't wear it in the shower even though it's supposed to be water resistant just out of caution and the inner side of the band is more porous and has a slight odor with sweat after the 3 weeks of wear.  Unlike most other watches I have worm in my life this does not snag on my wrist hair like most metal watches do. The face and metal still show no visible scratches on the glass which makes me hope it's good quality.  Most watches I've ever owned usually have scratched faces after only owning for a week or so. I'll update in a few weeks.

Amazon delivered my Citizen watch on the day a new president was inaugurated.

This is the first watch that cost me more than $50. I expect to wear it and enjoy looking at it on my wrist for as long as it lasts. I hope that will be longer than the two years I have been getting from Timex watches in this century.

Comfort and style. The look of the watch itself is very similar to the photos you see on the internet. A little large, reasonably thin, understated, a somewhat crowded face. It is very easy to wear: it slides under the sleeve of a dress shirt easily, it does not catch on things, it does not pinch or drift on my wrist. The band is short--I have thin wrists, and I am using the third hole from the end of the band; in summer I may switch to the second hole. The dull green color of the band is very versatile, although I would prefer a dark gray to match gray or black accessories. Much better than a Timex Velcro band that often catches and pulls loose.

Clock face. I am still getting used to reading the hands on a face where nothing really stands out. But sometimes I just take an extra moment because it looks so nice. The watch would probably be easier to read if the twelve numbers were a little smaller and the chronograph dials were set slightly farther apart.

24 hour dial. This little dial at two o'clock seems worthless to me. Adding 12 to afternoon and evening times would be about as easy as reading two watch faces at once, one for the hour and one for the minutes.

Seconds dial. The small dial with a second hand that runs all the time seems workable for most casual measurements. Around six o'clock or half past the hour, one or both of the main hands will partially block the view of this dial. To tick off a few seconds then, I will have to press the button that starts the stopwatch.

Chronograph. Similarly, the chronograph minutes dial is obscured when either hand is between 9 and 11. If you want to use the stopwatch function on your wristwatch often, get a different watch. (Do some chronographs have thinner hands on the main dial?) For occasional use, I think this will serve me well.

Calendar. Last week I had to angle the watch carefully, get good light, and squint to distinguish between 28 and 29. But the date is very easy to set. Rolling the crown through 24 hours is not necessary; instead you pull the crown out halfway to the "date correction position" and roll just a bit. With this feature, perpetual calendar is not so necessary.

Precision. I have had the watch for two weeks. So far it keeps excellent time--it was two seconds slow when I first set it, and it is still two seconds slow (according to time.gov).

Glow. When I shine bright incandescent on the face for a few minutes, the hands glow brightly for an hour and remain readable (to eyes that are accustomed to the darkness) for at least four hours.

I wish I could find a sturdy, medium-sized analog watch with the calendar and chronograph functions on a small digital display at six o'clock (like a Timex that doesn't scratch immediately and die when the warranty expires). Until then, four stars for the Citizen.

I cannot comment on the longevity of the watch, because I've only had it for 3 or 4 days. It seems to keep accurate time provided I wind it. I can't always see the hands of the clock but that's because I need glasses and that is hardly the fault of the watch. I usually buy LCD watches at Walmart for around $12. Spending $90 on a windup watch is a lot of money for me. It seems to have a lot of nostalgia in its looks. I do like the watch and if it stops working I will probably take it to a jeweler rather than giving it a kerosene treatment. A kerosene treatment, is when you take the back off of watch, put a few drops of kerosene in the back cover of the watch , dump it out , and then screw the cover back on the watch. The fumes from the kerosene will lubricate the watches tiny gears causing it to start to run again. My father did this with his Timex many many times.

it looks great, but i can tell the band is going to break in a matter of weeks.

I have had the watch for only a few days so it is too early for me to rate it on reliability. The five stars are for looks (it is one fantastic looking watch), feel, and the fact that even though it is a large sized watch it looks good on my small wrists. I wore it in to work and quit counting the number of comments I received on its looks. After I have had it for a while I intend to come back and update my review.

I guess I've been having it for 8 or so years. The watch is great, it's the clasp that has never really worked right (a jeweler could maybe fix this easily) and the mesh has lost some of its finish, but I still wear it, it's still pretty awesome and people do ask about it. It has no second hand but the trade off for not being able to measure seconds is a very long battery life, as in, so far I've only put in a new battery once. Just fix the clasp, Skagen people.

I really liked this watch, I hope, will last me quite, white bracelet gives a special touch, good comments by the phrase that has the clock, I recommend buying for certain occasions

Visually, this is a really nice watch.  No idea yet if it will stand the test of time.

It works as advertized, although the buttons on the watch are confusing and non-intuitive.  The data collected and displayed on the computer is neat.  However, for the price of this watch you would hope that it would not be a throw-away item after 1 year.  That is unfortunately what is happening to me since the band is disintegrating and there is no way to replace it.  As you can see the bezel to the watch and the band are molded as a single piece.  I am going to contact Garmin to see if there is anything to be done but my warranty just expired a couple of months ago.

My only complaint about this watch is that it doesn't last very long. I'm about to order my third watch of this model. On each watch, the backlighting feature  has failed after 1-2 years and the watch completely died after 3-4 years. That said, except for the tiny date it's easy to read and it has the features I want- a second hand and backlighting, and the cost is low enough. However, I would rather pay somewhat more and know the watch would work longer.

my girlfriend bought me this watch and i love it, but my work environment isn't very suitable for watches so it sits in my pocket a lot (with my keys). the band has suffered a bit of damage (all cosmetic) but still holds strong, and the face of the watch seems to be the most scratch/scuff resistant.

update: I forgot about this review or I would've updated it earlier, but about 3 weeks after I got the watch the battery died, so we got it replaced. I don't know if it was the watch or the guys who repaired it, or just the construction of the watch itself, but it crapped out hard. Changed the battery again and still nothing, then the second hand fell off somewhere between changes. It sits in my closet somewhere now since I have given up on it

I like the aesthetics of the watch. Keeping good time. Only complaint is the watch band. Don't think there is much leather to the leather watch band

don't think it will last very long. materials are starting to separate and all i did was install it on the watch. lesson learned.

I had this monitor (in a different color) about two years when both parts (monitor and watch) stopped working.. I re-ordered this because I like the way it functions but I can't give it 5 stars because two years is not a long lifespan. Hope this one is more long-lasting.
