I bought this a few years ago as a mountaineering watch that matched the color of my favorite softshell jacket and pants. Ive been wearing it nearly every day since 2019. Since then I have also started using the altimeter while paragliding. The compass is a bit finicky and is majorly affected by my 18650-powered devices when in close proximity, but that's just another reason to carry a regular compass when its that important. It would be nice if this watch also had a perpetual calendar and if the part of the strap that holds down the excess watchband beyond the clasp was made of something that did not break as easily, but overall it has met my expectations.

I wanted a complication you can't get on a mechanical watch. I'm a hiker and need a compass where there is no phone service, it's cloudy and teperatures hover around 0⁰. It might be raining, snowing or I might have to swim. This is the watch for me since I prefer an analog display. The only gripe I have is it really needs a screw down crown.

This watch is quite the statement. It is consistent with the other Citizen Watches that I own. Brovo!

Just received the olive green version and it is indeed a very awesome watch. The layout of the face isn't too busy yet there is still a lot of functionality and the construction of the watch looks and feels great. However the downside - and reason I must return it - is that the watch's band is thick due to the dressing of the canvas and the band length at ~8.5" makes it very small for a men's watch and with it buckled at the last position I don't feel comfortable wearing it without risking it falling off. Disappointed as this is a really cool watch...

Great looking watch that meets my criteria for wearability (tough, solar powered and functional).

This watch is absolutely stunning! Even though it has a canvas band, it does not take away from the absolute quality look of the watch while remaining practically subtle. The watch face looks brilliant in quality and i appreciate the large face. I like the touch of leather on the band adding a bit more subtle class. The compass works very well and although I have not had a chance to use the altimeter in a hiking situation yet, it does work very well when i just turn the feature on to fool around with it and check the accuracy. Great purchase!
