Moving Dial Hands
by IOU2 , 2010-07-20

I had the same problem with the moving hands with the Citizen E812. I read in a watch forum they would replace the internal parts so that you have to pull it out one click before movement occurs. If the watch is under warrantly they would do it free, if not then it was a 30 dollar charge.
I sent my E812 to Citizen in California and they replaced it with the E820 system. I hope this helps someone since it was driving me crazy also.
I do not know if they would do it for this watch but it can't hurt to contact them.

Watch was returned, because it was sent as a new when it was obviously a used item

excellent watch
by Oscar Indreland from middle east, 2009-09-05

I am very pleased with this watch. Ive been wearing it for one month and its only lost 3 seconds which is damn good for a realtively cheap watch. the titanium is very strong and the clasp is a very solid design. the clasp peace has had a few scratches on it but thats to be expected considering im really rough on watches. one good charge is nessasary right out of the box cause it does ship completely dead and make sure you do an all zero reset before you set the time and date. only thing i really dont like is the dual time zone feature takes a long time to catch up. im in the middle east now but home is 9 hours behind so if i switch to the l-tm setting it takes 9 revolutions to get to the right time. the easy way to do it would have been to just have the hour hand move. instead the minute hand has to spend around and around and around. either way its not to big a deal unless you cant do the math in your head

its dead

I like things user friendly. Here is the review
Good
- Nice looking
- Heavy duty clasp. I would have kept my last watch but clasp was flimsy and broke (9 year old watch)

Bad
- To heavy. Last titanium I ownded was a lot lighter
- Only the band is titanium
- I could not figure out how to change back the date. I missplaced the CD and the instructions do not say much
- After three weeks the thing just died.

READ THIS IF YOU LOOK FOR TITANIUM WATCH
by Roman from PA, 2009-07-16

Many people already wrote nice reviews and included a lot of information. I will only add few words.
I am really very dissapointed with this 'Titanium' watch.
The biggest issue is that it's not at all 'ALL TITANIUM'.
Back of the case is made of steel. Beware.
So if you look for some anti-allergic or real 'All Titanium' watch, don't go for this item.
Unfortunately I only found this out when I looked at the back of the watch.
The other thing that is annoying and you would not expect this from the watch with the list price $450 is that Seconds hand does not align with the markers at all.
Also, althought smaller, this watch seems to be heavier then Skyhawk.
