My wife got me this watch for Father's Day (at "Father's" specific request ... lol). It's now my third Citizen "Eco-drive" watch, and it may end up being my favorite.

The gleaming finish, stainless steel case is a flawless beauty. The size (44mm diameter) is just right for me ... not too big, not too small, and not too thick.

The face is a kind of slate-blue, micro-grid pattern when you're looking at it straight on, but it flashes a much deeper, brighter, iridescent blue as you move it around in the light. The iridescent blue color is what you're mainly seeing in the listing photos ... why reviewers complained about the accuracy of the photos. That color is definitely there, but it isn't as dominant as the photos might suggest.

Citizen has equipped this watch with a "sapphire" crystal, which enhances the blue tones of the watch face when you view it at an angle. Perfect choice.

This is a very elegant looking watch from Citizen that looks much more expensive than it is. The dial and markers are great at catching the light. The eco-drive movement makes it very reliable with all dials functioning as they should. Sapphire crystal at this price is awesome. Lastly, I bought the all white and silver variation so it looks great with either a brown or black leather strap.
