Reviewed in Canada on January 10, 2024
My first Citizen watch and I am impressed. If you’re a fan of the John Wick movies like me but aren’t yet ready to shell out for a real CFB Manero Autodate, this affordable and accurate timepiece should be enough to hold you over. Great movement, eco-drive so you never have to worry about batteries, and cmon, she’s a looker! Also fantastic warranty, 5 years + 1 if you register. Need I say more?
The band is a little stiff out of the box but will soften with time so I have no concerns with it. Definitely 5 stars from me.
