With 41 years this is the most expensive clock that I bought and have been every time joy when I look at the time. The design is great, elegant, not pure but not playful. Immediately upon opening the package wakes the clock to life and stands by itself. My face brings a smile :-) The clock sparkles and shines. For the first impression one has (clock) is never a second chance, and yes, this Citizen has visually the charm of Gotta have the first impression is great! My reasons for buying were: -stainless, Is massive yet elegant. You can go swimming without the clock to forget -Solarbetrieb - Almost all watches which I had hitherto have been abandoned because the battery was empty. That should not happen -Funkuhr - Never utter the sentence, my clock is one minute before ... or after. -Kratzfestes Glass I was with the clock 24 every day on the arm for 3 weeks in the holiday. Beach, sun, sea and snorkelling. This Citizen makes with everything and also looks damn good. I recommend this without clock but when. Buy and have joy. Last still: when I wake up in the middle of the night by 4 or 5 clock in the morning, the pointer still so bright that you can read the time in the dark very well. 5 stars from me. It's a father son clock. I hope this clock lasts forever.
