Citizen Men's BU2020-02A Calendrier Stainless Steel Watch With Blue Leather Band

amazing watch with great price thanks amazon

This is a large men's watch with a 44 mm diameter dial, polished stainless steel. I'd say it's more of a dressy/office watch, but it could do casual. This is not a chronograph, if that's what you're looking for, this isn't it. The watch has 3 working sub dials, the sub dial at 3 O'clock shows the date, the sub dial at 6 shows the hour in 24 hour format, and the sub dial at 9 shows the day. There are two crowns, one at the normal position to adjust the time and the sub dials, and one at the 4 O'clock position to rotate the inner scale to give you the time in a 2nd time zone. Lots to look at on this watch: If you look closely, you'll see the crisp white dial has two different textures on it and 3 different levels. The rings on the sub dials have tiny little metal edges around them and the indices on the chapter ring are chamfered. The watch is good down to 100M which means you an go swimming and snorkeling with it, but it's not a dive watch. The price might seem a bit steep, but in my opinion, you're getting a lot of watch for the money. Likes: Keeps great time (expected since it has a quartz movement) and with Eco Drive, you shouldn't have to worry about a battery (capacitor in this case) for close to a decade. The more time you spend with it, the more you see all the detail Citizen put into the watch. The navy blue leather strap goes with the blue hands and the deployment clasp is well done and detailed, looks like it was forged and not just stamped. The watch looks great on the wrist and the blue watch hands change shades as the light hits them. DIslikes: The deployment clasp can dig a bit into your wrist if you adjust the strap to that it's really snug. The crowns don't have a stamp on them, they are blank, which is odd for a watch costing this much. Reading the Hour and the Day dials takes a little practice. Really, not much to complain about. It's a great watch, just different enough to be interesting.

Beautiful Watch ! Citizen makes a lot of watches most are ok lower tier but some models I consider a bargain if you find them on sale . This model I purchased purely on looks . I like the white textured dial with contrasting blue hands . I don't really care about the smaller dials that give me 24 hour time, date and day but they really look cool . The case and blue leather strap are also very well done. You could put Tag or Tissot on this one and I think get away with it. The Eco Drive is just a nice plus !

Love this Citizen model. First one of the series I've owned, for me, has a great look. Arrived on time, packaged great, and OEM fresh. The watch itself is a perfect size for my wrist, was easy to set, and is easy to take in the data it provides. Love the white dial, blue leather band combination. Band is an excellent quality leather. The clasp took me a minute to get used to, but is super convenient now that I've used it a few times. Would highly recommend this watch, especially at this price point.

My first impression of this watch was "Wow, this thing is THICK!" but that was immediately followed by surprise at how light and effortless it feels. First things first, the looks: the color and design of this watch is attractive, interesting, and classic. I was concerned that the blue band might make this watch look a little outlandish, or too flashy. I was happy to find that the blue goes nicely with most outfits and pairs well with brown belts/shoes/accessories. The vibrant blue hands are a nice touch that completes the watch face well. The watch looks a little hefty right out of the box, but actually sits pretty nicely on your wrist. It's nearly 100grams and a full 13mm thick, but I don't find myself noticing that weight at all, and it doesn't get caught up by long sleeve shirts either. The band is genuine leather (pardon me, "calfskin"), so not terribly high quality, but it broke in like a nice pair of jeans in very little time. The butterfly style clasp has a secure and satisfying sounding "click" when you put it on, but this does add some depth to the band, and you might notice that this clasp leaves an impression on your wrist. There are two crowns: one at the 3 o'clock position that adjusts the time and date, and one at 4 o'clock which rotates a bezel that surrounds the watch face. I didn't know about this second crown when I bought it, and apparently it's there so you can tell what time of day it is in other time zones, but I've found this minimally useful. After a few months of steady use, it's showing very little signs of wear: the stainless steel case has a few very minor scuffs but mostly just shows fingerprints. The glass is showing a few nicks and scratches, but has held up impressively given that this is my daily driver and I do NOT baby it. On the topic of durability, it's worth noting that with Eco-Drive, you may never need to replace the battery, which is definitely a plus. Overall I'm very happy with this Citizen. Its simple, classic design with a small, almost reserved splash of color makes for a unique piece that still gets me the occasional compliment. My only complaints are very minor, so I won't give this the perfect 5 star rating, but will happily continue to wear this for day-to-day or formal.
