Amazing watch
This watch is beautiful. I bought it after my Accurist watch started to fall apart after 12 years of wearing it daily. I could easily have had it repaired but happened to see this in an airplane magazine and eventually decided to buy it.It arrived dead, but after about 2 hours under a bright light, it came to life. Easy to set the time, but of course you don't have to - just run a manual radio reception and it will update itself (I live in south east London and get a strong signal, from the tower in Germany). It also does this automatically at 2am every day, so whenever I compare it to the time on my laptop, or at the train station, it is always within half a second. Brilliant.I have relatively thin wrists and had four links removed, but that's no biggie.The only problems with this watch are:- Stopwatch doesn't show subseconds- Can't use a stopwatch immediately; you have to put it into Chrono mode first, then wait a few seconds for it to sort itself outThe other advantages are:- it has an internal calendar with month and year* (*more precisely, it just know the number of years since the last leap year, which is good enough until the year 2100)- the hands and 12 markers glow in the dark- it looks really stylish

Great Watch!!!
Have waited a long time to treat myself to this watch. Now I finally have it am really pleased with it. Keeps perfect time, is very good quality and keeps perfect time to the second (with the speaking clock!). Is rfeally cool that it is radio controlled. It says in the instructions to put it on a window ledge or near the window to get a signal, I guess it will depend on where you are, but I put it away in a draw at night and it manages to update with a high or medium signal most nights! And as for the reviewer earlier that complained about the strap being to small, am confused by that, I am a man with not skinny wrists by any stretch of the imagination, and I have just had the strap made smaller to fit me more comfortably!!Finally a well done to Amazon and their delivery service, ordered it at about 20.45 in the evening paid for a next day evening delivery admittidley, but even so arrive by courier at 18.50 the next evening! impressed.If you are looking for a quality time piece that looks good and works well you could do a lot worse than buy one of these or any citizen watch to be honest.

Doesn't Keep Time Accurately.
Having experienced issues with Casio radio-controlled watches, where they routinely lost time and were not 100% accurate, I decided to switch to Citizen and chose this watch because it looked great and had excellent reviews. The principal reason for me buying this type of watch is that they are supposed to be accurate at all times and I hoped that Citizen would be better in this regard than Casio.It was a bonus that it was already accurate out of the box and so there was nothing for me to do other than adjust the bracelet to fit. The watch looks great and I love the fact that I will never have to worry about batteries ever again. At first the watch did exactly as it should and was totally in sync with the speaking clock. However, in time I noticed that it started to slip out of sync, sometimes by a few seconds, on other occasions by a few minutes. The only way to correct the watch to ensure that it was again accurate was to perform a manual adjustment, something I had switched to Citizen specifically to avoid, as this was exactly the same issue with Casio radio-controlled watches. This time slippage is now a regular occurrence and I have to perform a manual reset at least once a week, sometimes more frequently than this.As accurate time-keeping remains the most important feature of this, or any other, watch, I am hugely disappointed and would advise caution to anyone considering buying this item in order to have 100% accurate time-keeping. It simply does not deliver and the only difference between this watch and a radio-controlled Casio model is that it is much more expensive. Both are flawed in terms of accurate time keeping, so beware.I'll now have to wait for the release of the Apple iWatch in April to finally get a watch that keeps accurate time permanently without the need for manual intervention.

Good looking and functional watch. Five stars!
The media could not be loaded. It's functional, stylish and comfortable to wear. Easy to use. A bit heavy but quickly can get use to it. Made in Japan. Features, 6 band wave ceptor, perpetual calendar, sapphire glass, alarm,chrono, tachymeter, wr200. Brancelet can be adjust by removing full or half links for a better fit. Solar powered. 1 sunny day can provide energy for about 6 months. Looks posh too. I would buy again.Update 10.04.2020: After 2.5yrs i can surely say that this watch is really good choice. The solid link branceled put to the pouch to keep it in close to brand new condition and replaced by calf skin 24mm strap. I can feel the different as the watch lost its weight and gain the kind of vintage look [in my opinion anyway ;)] I forgot to mention at the first time that the luminous hand and dial are really nice blueish colour and lasts long too. Really happy of the purchase especially i see how much this watch costs now. Anyway it's still worth the money.
