I have only owned it for a week, but I can tell it is a keeper. The adjustable bracelet has come in very handy every watch should do it. The lack of atomic outside Japan doesn't bother me but it does make initial setup a slow process.

@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces 4 жыл бұрын

We had some big swings in humidity while I've had it and the clasp did the trick perfectly. I'd love if it could receive signal but I'm fine with it as is. The app was really easy to use too if you haven't tried it.

Citizen is one of the tops on my list for solid, well built watches, I definitely enjoy the couple of Promaster’s that I have but I’ve had my eye on that PMD56 for a while now. It has some competition but its a beauty in so many ways for sure. Thanks for the video ! Well done

I'll tell you the watch that IS perfect, the PMD56-2952. Don't bother fiddling with the app, they are very easy to adjust manually! Mine only gains 2 seconds per Month anyway! Also, look at how CLEAR the day/date window is - faultless!!

Thanks for the review, I picked up one up and absolutely love it. The green is a lovely hue and reminds me of British Racing Green. I also live outside the JJY coverage but find the iPhone Emulator Apps work just fine. Quite good accuracy regardless at about 4 secs pm, so less than a minute per year.

It's a great watch. I still think about getting one for myself. The emulator works great but your right, it's very accurate on it's own. Thanks.

Great looking watch, i have something somewhat similar, the Casio Oceanus S100, titanium, perpeptual, super comfortable, 100M WR etc.....and it gets the NA signal (6 spots WW). Its the Tough Movement so no battery changes. Great grab and go, 2 years.....no scratches.

If this lost the day but kept the date it’d be perfect. The date + day makes the dial slightly too linearly busy in my opinion. I understand that the Euro markets are like that (i.e., only the date), for this thing?
