Disclaimer: I do not own this watch (yet) but I have read a number of posts here and elsewhere pondering "what makes this a golf watch", so I thought I would help shed some light for the folks out there. As I do not own it, I gave it five stars simply in an effort to be fair, though I do own quite a few Citizen watches in this price range, and feel comfortable that the watch will be of very high build quality for this price point.
"What makes this a "golf watch"?"
It is considered a golf watch because the crown is engineered on the opposite side of the case (the left). As most watches are designed for right handed people, and therefore meant to be worn on the left wrist (the "proper" way to wear a watch is always on the opposit of your strong hand, so when drinking coffee, or writing, or whatever else, you can check the time without problems.) Thus, crowns are normally on the right, for easy setting. In short, the most basic feature of any golf watch is that the crown is on the opposite side of the case than it normally would be, thereby preventing it from digging into the top of your hand/wrist when you swing. Hope this clarifies things :)
