Definitely a fun watch...but I believe Citizen missed an opportunity by making it so large. It seems too many of their watches are still made larger despite the fact that size preference seems to be trending down (finally!). Integrating the small seconds hand as a plane rotor was a fantastic, fun design choice. Thanks for showing this one!

It was originally $450, but with a 30% off sale and a $25 off promo code, I got the watch down to $290. She's said she needed a nice "everyday watch" and loves "the Little Mermaid."

Well wrist size is one thing we cannot change. Personally I try get a variety of watches on the channel. Like the last one I had on was 36mm. But beyond that I also try to determine how it wears for it's size. Depending on the case shape some watches wear larger or smaller than you might expect. One of the key things to pay attention to is lug to lug. The smaller it is, the better it is for slimmer wrists.

I have a few similar citizen watches. The main problem for me is - the contrast between the hands and the dial is lousy. Without my glasses I can't make out the hands over the dial when the light gets only a tad worse than on a bright sunny day. The problem gets worse when the dial gets more busy. Like on a chronograph. The hands are too thin and the outline is too thin as well. Even a neon orange outline on one of the hands doesn't help it. I really love the cream / beige dials - but the legibility is simply terrible.

Hello. I'm a fan of Chinese watches that offer great quality at a good price. I have a few of them, but I would like to buy a gift and find a beautiful, classy watch. Unfortunately, it's very difficult. There's nothing decent for under $300. The specifications are weak for the price. I've looked at Chinese brands, and there's practically no such watch for women, except for Pagani Design. What I'm looking for is a quartz watch with a sapphire crystal, all stainless steel, and a 28mm case, specifically the PD-1647. Unfortunately, it's nowhere to be found, they may have stopped producing it. There's also a nice PD-1648, but it's also not available anywhere. Could you speak with Pagani people regarding the resumption of production? Other companies could also consider making a women's watch. There's definitely a demand for it, but they need to advertise it better. Make a video on KZitem to show how it looks, not just renders, and also share information on Reddit. For example, Escapement Time released a 35mm women's watch, and it sells well, but 35mm is still too big. The best size for women is up to 28mm and classy. Thank you in advance.
