Absolutely love this beautiful watch, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING... It cannot be sized to fit a small wrist properly. The links in the band are all different sizes; some are removable, some are not. The three links closest to the face, with the crystals, are three different sizes and non-removable, as are several others. The center crystal links are very long and if you have a small wrist, when the back-of-the-band links are removed, the long crystal links will not sit flat against your wrist. It is uncomfortable, looks bad and likely, may shatter the crystals, as they sit at an odd angle away from the side of your wrist. If you leave extra links in, then the watch flops around, turning upside down. Amazon will not take back a watch that you have tried to size. There are no wrist-size measurements listed on Amazon's or Citizen's websites, it is not clear from their pictures either and neither can tell you what size wrists this watch can be made to properly fit. In addition, if you try to return the watch due sizing issues, Amazon will charge you for return shipping. If you have a medium-sized wrist, you should be okay, but BEWARE to small-wristed women... (This seems to be an issue with some other Citizen watches. Also, I've been told small-wristed men have the same problem with Citizen watches.)

I bought this Feb 12th. I was so delighted with it. I seldom use it, and keep it on the windowsill to charge.I noticed today, though, that I had 3 scratches on the face. I cannot imagine what could have caused that, especially when it is supposed to be scratch resistant. The windowsill is not that cold to "crack" glass. The only probable culprit is zipper along the cuff of my winter coat, which I doubt is of material hard enough to penetrate the mineral crystal this watch was supposed to have...I also bought a similar eco-drive for my husband, and it seemed slow, he kept adjusting the time. We are trying to observe how much it gets delayed over time.I will try contacting amazon about this (they are supposed to have automatically registered these purchases for warranty).
