Excellent value for a versatile watch. I was looking for something that would dress up or down, moving from workplace to dinner, without looking pretentious. This fit the bill perfectly. It goes as well with a pair of jeans and a dress shirt as it does with a suit.
The movement of the timepiece itself is great, and once I got it set I haven't had any issues at all. Setting it was a bit trickier than I expected; make sure you take your time because the crown pulls out to different levels to set the hour and minute hands. I gave it a full day of charging, as was reccomended, and haven't explicitly charged it except as it's been out and about while being worn.
The only drawback is that the band isn't really the highest quality. At this low price point, it's to be expected, but it did crease very quickly - especially on the bottom band where the holes are. I think this is why they chose the "cracked" leather instead of a smooth style, so it doesn't stand out quite so much. While it's being worn a person would have to be looking for it to notice it, though. You could change the band if you wanted, and I will when/if it becomes necessary, but it's actually quite comfortable. The entire watch it nice and light and wears really well.
This watch is perfect if you're looking for a nicer looking daily driver watch, that can also dress up as the occasion requires it. The watch looks exactly as shown by the manufacturer.

Amazing watch but band is meeeh
This watch is absolutely amazing. Perfect for individuals with smaller wrists like myself.Size: I've attached a picture of this watch next to my 42mm apple watch and another photo of it on my 6.25" wrist. That should give you guys an idea of what it would look like on your own wrist. Also, I think people with larger wrists shouldn't shy away from this watch. It wears slightly larger than expected and being a dress watch usually means it should be smaller than most casual watches.Quality: The watch itself feels very durable, however, the leather band is incredibly stiff and almost difficult to put on and remove. I've only had the watch fro a few days and hope that will decrease over time as oils and sweat from the skin wear down the leather and make it more pliable. The band is the only reason I've chosen to remove one star from the review.Looks: I love the way this watch looks on my wrist and almost wish people could see the back of the case all the time. The polished case-back and the Citizen logo on it look terrific.Overall: I honestly don't think you can get a better value for your money with a dress watch that will never need a battery replacement and made by a reliable Japanese brand. Best of luck with your watch hunting.
