The battery-operated men’s watch from Citizen, part of the Quartz family, sports advanced features such as a chronograph that measures up to 12 hours, as well as the current date. The blue dial is paired with luminous yellow hour and minute hands, a yellow second hand with a luminous dot, and yellow subdial hands. The stainless steel, two-tone, 41mm case has a unidirectional rotating bezel, and is matched by the stainless steel two-tone bracelet watch band. The end result is a striking, unique watch that will compliment every style.
Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring.
As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities.
One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch.
The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time.
CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy.
Excellent product, real rich feeling but would be at least 40 mm dial.Dial reflect very very excellent in light.Got very compliments.यदि ये ४० मिमी डायल होता तो ये लाजवाब होती
I haven't had it for long so I can't comment on the durability, I bought it because I wanted a blue face with two toned band and citizens are supposed to be decent watches. So far I like it. Was able to re-size band by removing links on my own at home in about 20 minutes. The most useful how to video was on youtube titled "How To Resize A Citizen Watch Band - Add & Remove Links At Home" . A little firm pressure with a small hobbie flat head screw driver and the pins pushed out far enough to pull out the rest of the way with needle nose pliers. Also may be this is just me being an idiot, but to set the time you have to unscrew the crown to loosen it before it will pull out, I struggled with this for a bit and almost sent it back because it was stuck.
I’ve seen some shade thrown at this timepiece but let me say it is very good regarding a cost/benefit analysis. The band is extremely comfortable for this price point. The security clasp is not difficult to engage or disengage therefore it’s comfortable on your fingers. Since two-tone is “in” right now, it is very slick, as well as the blue dial also being “in” right now (the last time it was it was the late 1990s). The case is the correct size on my wrist (I don’t think anything over 42mm looks masculine or handsome). Let’s be real: no one uses the chronograph function but it looks great, especially on this piece.
The watch was very nice to look at, although the blue background doesn't stand out as much as the photos suggest. It's much darker. And the day was a bit hard to see. I didn't have it for long before the small pin on the band that is used for the clasp broke off. I've sent it back for a refund, which I'm waiting for. It would have been nice to get another watch instead of the refund, as I'm sure this isn't the norm for a Citizen watch.
The Citizen AN3394-59L is an absolutely outstanding value. Everything about it is classic, especially the 39mm case size, folded link bracelet, 20mm lug width and simple chronograph functions. It’s what an entry level quartz chronograph should be. Plus it has the added benefit of a screw-down crown and pretty good lume. Get one before they’re discontinued.
Huge disappointment...! I was so disappointed when this watch arrived. I new immediately when this watch arrived that it was not an authentic Citizen watch. My husband is a huge Citizen Watch lover & he already owns a few, 9 Citizens to be exact. He has taught me a few things to look for when purchasing a watch, but it's not easy when your not actually able to view, hold, or inspect the item. Your mostly relying on the word of the sellers description & the few pictures they offer, witch in most cases are not a big help. My first impression of the watch was how cheap it looked. It didn't have the quality look you expect from a high end product such as Citizen (only my opinion). The second was the weight of the watch. Citizen watches are heavy, sturdy watches with a hefty substantial band & made of thick high quality stainless steel. When I compared this watch to an authentic Citizen watch the difference was quite substantial. The third was the branding/logo or I should say the lack of it. Authentic Citizen watches have logos in numerous spots on the watch, the face of the watch, the back of the watch case along with the model & serial numbers should be clearly printed not uneven or misspelled. Metal bands should have the logo on the buckle, clasp or end links. Leather straps may have the embossed logo on the buckle, rubber straps typically display the logo on the buckle as well. The crown of some models will also be discreetly stamped with the Citizen logo. This watch lacked significant branding/logos. The Citizen logo did appear on the face of the watch but it lacked the logos on the back case along with no visible model or serial numbers, also lacked logos on the band & crown. The crown of the watch would not pull in or out & the bezel wouldn't rotate, upon further inspection it wasn't made to rotate it was for appearance purposes only. The bezel should always rotate. The packaging of this watch was also odd. In every purchase I've ever made from a citizen product the packaging has always been high quality & always features the citizen logo on the box. There's always a separate envelope with the user manual & other materials along with the warranty card. This watch lacked the box with the citizen logo & the user manual along with the warranty card. It did have some promotional materials & a discount coupon for additional purchases. I wish I could reference the accuracy & timing of this watch but that would require a working product & since I couldn't even get the crown to pull out to wind the watch that would be futile. I absolutely place little value on this watch. It certainly is not worth the price that I paid. I would not recommend this watch to anyone, friends, family even my worst enemy if I had one. I have purchased other citizen watches from Amazon in the past & have had know issues. I will continue purchasing citizen watches from Amazon but only from the sellers I have already had positive experiences with. I am 99.9% sure that this watch is a counterfeit. This is only my personal opinion. I have no professional or educational knowledge in watches, jewelry or am I involved in law enforcement.

This watch is very comfortable on the wrist. Sizing the bracelet was super easy and doesn’t require any special tools. The packaging was on par for the price. Even with the smaller case size, it still looks great on my 8inch wrists.
Me gusta la marca citizen, me gusta su calidad. Este reloj es muy bonito y por su tamaño se ve discreto, fue muy buena compra
Excelente pieza ... es de pila no eco, pero vale mucho la pena ... quede muy contento. Será mi reloj de 24x24
No instruction how to use this watch (for beginners) (Citizen web site : no instruction available specifically for this model ) - Watch band links : very difficult to remove (for wrist circumference adjustment ) : need a small hammer (watch repairing hammer) and special tool to hold wrist band in place to remove links - Otherwise beautiful watch , not too heavy .
É bonitinho, mas não me atentei ao tamanho, pensei que fosse maior, mas é muito bonito.
Beautiful!
