Date setting discrepancy
First off, I got the watch a couple days ago. The look, feel, and accuracy are all spot on.
However, it appears that Citizen has changed a few things about the setting of the watch, and NOT changed the documentation. I had to experiment in order to figure out how to set the date, it was nothing like the instructions. In order to change the MODE (time, chrono, alarm, local time) you now have to pull the crown out to the first position, then rotate it.
This means that the first position can no longer be used to set the date! (like the instructions say) Now, in TIME mode, with the crown pulled out to position two (where the time is set) the "A" button toggles between all of the time AND date settings (the selected hand does a little dance to let you know it's selected), and twisting the crown adjusts it. Personally I LOVE this change (once I figured out how to set it). Other reviewers had complained about inadvertently changing the mode when pulling their hand out of a pocket, etc. Now, clicking the crown in the zero position does NOTHING.
Which is how it should be. It looks like Citizen listened to user feedback, which speaks miles about them. They now need to update their documentation to match. Great watch, we'll see how it does with more time on the wrist, but I wanted to let everyone know about my findings ASAP!
