I recently picked up the Citizen BY1004-17X, and wow... I can't stop looking at this watch. It has this beautifully clean, minimalist takenon this design that feels both modern and timeless at the same time. The titanium case with the subtle rose gold accents gives it such an elegant presence without being flashy. it's the kind of watch that looks effortlessly refined whether I'm at work or out at night., the leather strap is not exactly my favorite but it does fit the watch very well
Functionally, it's everything I hoped for and more. The eco-drive movement is super convenient, and the accuracy is incredible thanks to the radio controlled timekeeping. The moon phase, the perpetual calendar, the 24-hour indicator, and all the extra details are designed so cleanly that they don't clutter the dial at all...which is rare. It really is a minimalist watch loaded with high end features. I really like the mirror finish of the moon as well, very nice touch
And I have to shout out Ippojapanwatch for the buying experience. I HIGHLY recommend them. Their customer service honestly blew me away. They stayed in communication with me the entire time, answered every question, and made me feel completely taken care of from purchase to delivery. It's rare to find a seller that consistent and attentive, and they earned my trust.
Overall, I'm beyond happy with this watch. Beautiful design, incredible functions, and a top tier buying experience. If you're thinking about getting the BY1004-17X or ordering from Ippojapanwatch I'd recommend both without hesitation.
