Good purchase, 12 Nov 2008
This review is from: Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Watch #BL5250-02L (Watch)
Good all round watch, solid construction, good size, lightweight, dial easy to read. Alarm is pretty quiet, and the power reserve feature means that the second hand doesn't move in the dark (the luminous hour minute hands are visible quite clearly though).

Beautiful Watch, Great Functions, Frustrating Alarm, 7 Jan 2009
This review is from: Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Chronograph Watch #BL5250-02L (Watch)
I have received this watch as a birthday present, although it was bought online elsewhere. It is not too big, light weight and feels natural on the wrist. The leather strap appears strong and is good quality. The rotating bezel works smoothly and there is no slack in it. The dials are easy to read, the chronograph function being especially easy to use. The second hand does stop when conditions are dark - but probably so dark that you wouldn't be looking at it anyway. The perpetual calendar makes setting the date every month a thing of the past, and the local-time is great for British Summer Time.
The reason I have given this watch 4 stars and not 5, is the alarm. The alarm is about the same volume as most digital watches I have owned which is not an issue. The problem is setting the alarm. When you switch the mode to alarm, the hands move to show the previous alarm time. Each full rotation of the minute hand takes about 6 to 8 seconds. So before you can set the new alarm time you have to wait for both hands to move, which could take up to about a minute. And whilst the hands are moving you have to wait....
Overall its a lovely watch, but you will find the alarm on your phone quicker to set.
