If you get this wait for its appearance, low maintenance time-keeping, Citizen BL5250-02L Eco-Drive, and also the calendar (like I did) you will not be thwarted. The 24-hour hand could be a nice bit, and also the rotating bevel works fine. As noted in different reviews, it's on the larger aspect, that is stylish, and it is not monumental like some watches. The band could be a nice piece of seamed animal skin.
The alarm is ok - not terribly simple to line, as loud or louder as a number of the alarms I even have on different watches.
The civil time is proscribed to offsets of complete hours, therefore if you visit one in all the stange time zones or daylight savings square measureas that are offset by half-hour, you're out of luck. If you travel and really use this feature plenty you wish a real time beyond regulation that's not restricted during this fashion.
The Citizen BL5250-02L timer is sort of unusable. 1st you have got to drag out the crown halfway to position one and rotate it to pick out the operate, then push the crown back in. This stops the used. you may leave it this manner and leave the chrono running to induce the used moving as if telling traditional time, however it resets to zero when one hour. therefore if you allow it in traditional time mode, you are not aiming to bear the trouble to vary the setup if you wish to time a cut of meat on the grill or one thing attention-grabbing that you {just} just happen to visualize. If it's in traditional time mode and you pull the crown bent position a pair of instead of position one, well, currently you're within the 'set time' mode, that you probably did not need, and if you spin the crown, rather than switch to chrono mode, you currently don't have any plan what time it's.
When the Citizen BL5250-02L chrono is 1st triggered, the used sweeps round the dial the primary time for sub-second resolution, that could be a nice bit. However, if you really stop it within the 1st second, the used goes to zero and you'll be able to solely get the sub-second temporal order by pushing the lower aspect button that then moves the tiny dial to indicate sub-second time. Note that this makes the measuring system markings on the within fringe of the dial wholly useless. (but still nice looking!) And there's no split time operate (none claimed), that you'd need if you were really temporal order a lapped sporting event - running, swimming, car racing, etc. however if you were doing that you just would be employing a dedicated digital timer anyway, not your watch.
