I purchased this watch as a replacement for the exact replica that I lost. I had initially purchased a Timex Ironman watch as a replacement, but the middle button on that one is the start/stop (instead of Indiglo), and I would frequently bump it throughout the day, meaning that every time I wanted to know what time it was, I had to push a couple of buttons to find out. That defeats the purpose of a wristwatch to me. As it turns out, I lost that one, too. Maybe on purpose.

I had my previous iteration of this watch for 4 or 5 years. My only trouble with that one was that the Velcro wore down. I replaced the strap, and wore it for another 2 years until I took it off one night and put it in a place that didn't make sense. Perhaps someday I'll find it. I hadn't even had to replace the battery yet. As a tall (5'11") woman, the face on this watch is the perfect size- small enough to still look feminine, large enough not to look like a child's watch. My only wish was that this came in all black. Though I love the blue and grey, I wear this to work, and black would be slightly less conspicuous with dress clothes.

I  on this watch one time before and it was stolen from me. I was so pleased to see that the watch was still in circulation and at a reasonable price. I'm so happy that I have my watch again. It is spectacular!

This is the second Citizen-brand watch I have owned, this being the first I've purchased. The other one, being a gift, was a gold-toned Citizen watch and until the vacuum of the local car wash stole it, it was a hell of a watch. So far, I have owned this Black Ion-plated watch for two weeks on the tenth of June 2011, and I work in a pharmacy...a factory, but a pharmacy nonetheless. I have bumped it a few times, and have been a bit tough on it, for it to be a watch I paid $170 (w/ overnight shipping), and have seen NO scratches on the face OR the band. I thoroughly recommend this watch for ANY occasion and the watch is quite reliable on the time! I will purchase another Citizen watch from Amazon before the end of the summer...gotta be able to switch things up :)

I have been wearing this watch for over a year and I have to say I love it. It has never stopped working, even after being off my wrist for more than 24 hours. I have never gotten so many compliments on a watch ever. I wear it every day and other than some light scratches on the clasp it has held up extremely well. I would highly recommend picking one up.

This is a beautiful watch that I can wear pretty much anywhere. It keeps perfect time, very important to me, and I never have to worry about batteries. I bought a watch charging light due to the fact I work nights, and most of my waking hours are in darkness.

Before buying, I asked a few friends on their opinons on the watches I had on my wishlist. This was a favorite with every single person I asked, and although I didn't really think too much of it, I went ahead and trusted their opinion. Boy, am I glad I did that. Out of the watches I bought, this is now my absolute favorite. it's a beautiful piece that has been keeping its time perfectly well. Another added bonus is that I can see the time in the dark as the hands glow a very faint, yet distinguished, green. As I usually have to drive at night, it is an extra bonus for me and another reason to love this watch.

There's one thing which bothers me, but it is nowhere near enough for me to lower the rating and to think less of it. It's a big watch, and it cannot stand on its own without support. That annoys me because there are times when a watch will bother anyone, and I would like to leave it on my desk and still be able to see the time on it.

I'd definetely recommend this watch to anyone.

Statement watch. I tell everyone that this watch will probably outlive me and be passed down to future generations. I pair it with everything, and it has endured quite a bit of violence in its relatively short life, but still intact and best yet no scratches!

This watch has become the absolute favorite watch in my collection!!! To be honest, I used to be opposed to a quartz movement and anything outside of Swiss automatic watches. I am soooo pleased with this watch. I replaced the black strap with a blue, croc print leather strap, which really sets this watch apart from the others as the blue strap matches the blue hand markers. I wish the instructions to set the alarm were easier to follow, but Ive got my phone for that. That being said, Id still love to know how to set the alarm.
Im now considering the black dial version and putting on a red or light grey strap.

This watch beats every watch I own, past or current (and I've owned a LOT of watches).

From a practical/functional perspective: It is solar, so you don't have to worry about battery replacement. It will charge in natural or artificial sunlight I believe, which is good because I live in Cleveland, OH where often we don't see sun til May.
The dial is large enough to read clearly, with gleaming dash marks to denote the hours.  There are also small white dashes in between them to denote minutes.  It's small, but clear with the contrast of white on black.  The day and date are both present and very visible.  The hands are luminous (big plus, I love luminous watches!), and each hour has a luminous dot above the hours.
The clasp and bracelet is easy to self-adjust. I bought the $5 watch adjuster and did it myself. You hammer and pop the pins out and adjust easily.  You don't have to worry about scratching the watch if you are careful.
The watch is substantial in size and weight, but not so much that it's noticeable on your wrist. I am a female with  6-inch wrists and it is difficult to find a watch that looks unisex but not so big that it looks like I've been playing in Daddy's drawers.  It sits perfectly on my wrist, covers it completely but does not look awkward. The weight is actually a plus in my opinion because I wanted a bigger watch to counter my titanium (very light and almost unnoticeable) watches.

Aesthetics/Look: This is where this watch really shines. Literally. Some reviewers complained that it is too shiny, or they didn't expect how shiny it was, and I think this is what makes it stand out.  The Bezel is nearly mirror-like, which really gives it a shine and pop, making it more of a dress watch (though really looks great casually as well). The bracelet is more brushed, and it really makes the face of the watch stand out.  The dash hour markers almost look diamond-cut so that there's a jewelry-like gleam to them when the light hits it. I've only had this watch for a little while now, so I don't know how it will hold up to scratches.  I usually liked brushed steel/titanium because I can buffer out any tiny scratches myself.  So this will be interesting to see how the mirror-like bezel will hold up or look with any tiny scratches.

All this, and for such a practical price! Overall, this watch is amazing.  The only cons I can think of right now is that it makes me want to buy more in the Seiko series! And my other watches will likely be collecting more dust now.

I have to say that this is the best watch I ever had. I bought it in 2007, and still look and works like brand new. I travel a lot and I do public speaking for work. People approach me just to take a closer look at the watch. Everyone thinks that it is very trendy and a great looking watch, and where can they get it. I totally recommend this watch, not just for look but for practicality and durability.

I bought this watch at a jeweler in Dublin, Ire and have been in love with it ever since.  While I didn't get as good a deal as I would have buying it online, I get to remember a great spring break trip I had with my girlfriend every time I check the time.  I did notice that the second hand doesn't quite match up with the number markers at times but seeing as I rarely care about the exact second it isn't that big a deal.  The styling is excellent, great for both formal occasions or a night out with friends, and the quality is superb.  The sapphire lens doesn't scratch and the watch remains water resistant to this day.  I am very satisfied with this watch and highly recommend for everyday usage, you won't be disappointed at this price.

I did not buy this watch off Amazon.com.

I've been a fan of G-Shock watches ever since 2005, when I first started using them as a do-it-all watch. This one that I got 6 years ago takes the cake, with only one battery replacement about 3 years into its use (out of a gut feeling. Not from the battery actually dying.)

The fact that it's a Mudman, sealed from mud and dirt while encased in an armored shell is a testament to its ridiculous reliability. These watches just don't die!

Personally, I really like the world time function, since it saves me from having to readjust the watch every time I travel from the US to China. Alarm, stopwatch and timer all work extremely well. Having 2 stopwatches is also a plus.

I got mine in a different color scheme than the one shown in the picture: All black hardware with gold accents and a yellow display. I found the display super easy to read, the watch itself lightweight, and simply indestructible when it came to holding up in severe conditions. I've done it all: Airsoft games, extended outdoor trips, rough outdoor sports, swimming in the ocean, any and every situation you could think of (for a simple active citizen, anyway) and this watch has never let me down when I needed it to. I didn't mind that the buttons were hard to press: that simply meant that they were extremely rugged and will not let me down.

So why am I getting rid of it after six years? The one bad thing about the watch is its band and case backing design. When you peel back the bands on either end of the watch (flexing it, if you will), several nooks appear in the band. After heavy use, sweat and dirt can accumulate and stay in there, creating a bad smell that is nigh impossible to wash out. Keep in mind that this space is only between the band and the watch, not the watch itself. While the back is comfortable, the fact that there are little nubs irritate my wrist slightly. But the main deal-breaker is the retention screws that attach the band to the watch casing: These break and fall off! I've had this happen once and got Casio to do a free replacement while it was still under warranty, but recently it broke off again, rendering the watch useless.

Does the watch still work? Yes. No problems, and I do love its functions and presentation. But because of the band design, what could have easily been a watch that could survive for 10+ years is being shelved for a different model. Since then, I've replaced it with the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Casio-Men-s-G9300-1-Mudman-G-Shock-Shock-Resistant-Multi-Function-Sport-Watch/dp/B0058W91N2/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Casio Men's G9300-1 Mudman G-Shock Shock Resistant Multi-Function Sport Watch</a>. At first glance this looks to have a better band design, so we'll see how it works out.

I've gone through so much with this watch that I'm almost sad to see it go. Alas, it still isn't indestructible, but if you can look past its faults, this will be your companion for many years to come. 5 stars, simply because it has lasted so long, but keep its flaws in mind.

I like the size of the face with it's multicolored numbers. I plan on replacing the white band with an expandable one. This is the second time I've ordered this watch. My backpack was stolen with this watch in it. This watch is so practical, it's for me !

I bought one of these watches 10 years ago, and it has been the most fantastic watch I've ever had. And it has lasted through the fire department, Costco, and my very active lifestyle. I finally managed to break the one that I had, so I immediately purchased a replacement because this is the best watch I've ever owned.

I have had this watch for over 4 years without fail. I have used it when surfing, snorkeling, cycling and in the snow. I wore it until the rubber strap cracked and failed. I obtained another inferior band and began to wonder if the watch would eventually fail too. As it is, I have purchased a second watch from this buyer on Amazon. I cannot recommend this watch enough. I have several nicer watches for special occasions but this is my do 'everything' watch. It has taken the sand, sweat and salt water without leaking or failing. I am even more surprised that I still have the original battery in it and it is still running! This watch is not indestructible because I have scratches on the body and a few nicks on the face. The backlight is low but works well in the dark. No problem seeing it if all is dark. It also has 5 separate alarms you can set. If you use it daily expect that the band will eventually fail after a couple of years. But really, what can you expect for $25.00?? I hope this new one will last as long (or longer) than the old one I am still wearing.
