Great watch in many ways... so light you forget its on, accurate Eco-Drive time keeping, and classic good looks to boot. Did I mention its case and bracelet are titanium, with a sapphire crystal? Very nice features to have at an affordable price point. I was looking to get my first titanium watch and the Garrison has been a great watch to start that journey.

I have been using this watch for one month now. My previous watch, which lasted 30+ years, was a Seiko which was thinner and lighter. The Seiko luminescence was mostly gone after 30+ years and the day part of the day/date function stopped working but, the watch was still accurate to 10 seconds a year. This new watch has barely more luminescence than the Seiko after 30 years. I fully charged the battery when I got this watch so I am waiting to see how long it lasts without specially charging it. I actually find I prefer the known 3-4 year battery life than having to get my watch environmentally charged (I wear it 24 hours). The accuracy is within limits (loses 8 seconds a month). The watch is also bulkier than the Seiko. Seems like a decent watch but honestly, I wish I'd gotten the Seiko. Smaller, lighter, more luminescence and better accuracy (after 30+ years' experience of daily use 24/7).

I have been a satisfied Eco-Drive owner since 2008. This Garrison is the ninth Eco-Drive in my collection and it is definitely one of my favorites. I have become a fan of field watches and this does that style really well. It's easy to read and extremely light on the wrist coming in at only 84 grams, sized for my 7 1/4" wrist. I'm glad for the sapphire crystal but wish the crown was screw down to support the 100M water resistance. All markers are fully lumed and I would rate the intensity of the lume as good but not great.

This is my first real watch as i enter the world of watches. The design is clean, the eco drive is an excellent innovation, a nice simple day date complication rounds this watch of very nice. The Super Titanium is crazy light and makes for a comfortable wear for someone who is not used to wearing a watch.

Good quality, light weight, easy to maintain, nicely designed, I wish the date day window can be little bit bigger for easier observation.

Amazing watch! This is my everyday watch for pretty much every occasion. Beautiful clean design aesthetics. Sapphire Crystal with anti-reflective coating is fantastic for durability and legibility! 100m of water resistance is perfect! Titanium is light and comfortable. The lume is great and you will always be able to quickly see the time at a glance. Even when transitioning from outdoor lighting conditions to a dark movie theater. Some room for improvement can be if an on the fly micro adjustment clasp were added so you can quickly adjust when your wrist swells and the added security of a screw down crown. However, these are just wish list items for me! I whole heartedly recommend this watch and would buy it again in a heartbeat!

The watch is nice looking and comfortable but considerably heaver than other titanium citizen watch I have. I didn’t expect it to be as heavy as it is.
