The PCAT from Citizen improves on this classic collection with a modern design, including a two-tone, rose gold stainless-steel 43mm case and a two-tone stainless-steel bracelet, capped off with a blue dial. It uses a Tachymeter bezel, and in addition to Eco-Drive technology, it includes advanced features such as atomic timekeeping with synchronized time adjustment in 43 cities worldwide, power reserve indicator, a perpetual calendar and a chronograph. This timepiece is the definition of sporty elegance, with a timeless style that can be effortlessly dressed up or down as the situation changes.

“Had a good weight to it, but it is smaller than I imagined. The positive of this is it fits on the wrist comfortably without restricted movement of the wrist by the buttons. It is a very high quality product. Looks just as good as the images on the websites. The gold outer dial does not turn, and no idea how to use it either, so thats just decoration. Citizen I'd find a compass bearing ring much more useable on a similar model. I found most of the images of this product were not realistic, so I'm making this review to share these low quality cellphone images for a touch of realism. I found the wrist band extremely easy to adjust, having noted the review saying the contrary before purchase. I used a paperclip and small pliers, quite simple - use the arrows, push two pins out, remove the link and re-insert the pin. Stash the leftover safely. No manual came with mine, so I looked up the PDF (Citizen, please improve online support in this area for us fanboi's). The blue face is quite a dark greenish ocean aqua blue. I considered the alternative versions, thinking I could find a citizen blue or reddish leather strap which is harder than you'd expect. As another poster had mentioned, its not overly flashy but certainly not dull. The date function needs a focused glance, unlike my other citizen eco watches which have larger or black date on white backgrounds. I live outside the radio area, but not bothered and recall someone had a work around on the internet. Overall if you can get a reasonable price, I would recommend it as a great daily watch for work or otherwise. I had to buy online as local stores asked unrealistic prices.”

“I think this is one of the most beautiful watches. The one thing that bothered me was when you sync the time it's a little off. Since it's off by a few seconds it can cause your watch to be a minute ahead. I had to manually set the time, but that's fairly easy to do. I might have had a defective watch so your experience may vary.”

“I got the light blue version with the stainless and rose gold band. The look of the watch is absolutely amazing. It has just the right amount of flash, but is not gaudy. Looks nicer in real life than the pics.”

“This is a very good product, it might come across difficult to set at first but you’ll get the hang of it. I own two of the previous ones and I’ll be getting another by Christmas to add to my collection.”

“Purchased this watch as a gift and it is absolutely beautiful. It has a nice weight to it and just feels really well made. Nice to the touch.”

“This is my third Citizen, and my first PCAT. As far as analog watches go, you really can't ask for much more. Other brands also offer atomic synchro but it's the combination of these features with Eco Drive that really makes it a super accurate, maintenance-free time piece. The only caveat I would say is the size. I have smaller wrist (6.5") and I think I'm just barely pulling this one off without looking weird.”

“TheCitizens PCAT watch is better than I could have hoped. It is accurate and very attractive. The quality of wofkmanship is outstanding. I have an older Citizens watch (30 years old) and it has never reqiured a battery change. I'm sure this one will last at least as long.”

“Beautiful watch. I own several PCAT watches and this is the first one I had difficulty in adjusting the bracelet to fit my wrist. The older PCATs used a split pin (cotter pin) to secure the links. This PCAT uses a solid pin with a center locking tube - much more difficult to work with, even using professional watch adjusting tools. If you're unsure about this, seek a jeweler that specializes in this work.”
