- It is slightly heavy and bulky which may be inconvenient when wearing a suit.
Personal Opinions:
Citizen BL5470-06A Eco-Drive Watch looks and feels sturdy and long-lasting. It is solid, giving it an adventurous touch and expensive look to it although it is in the very affordable range especially it is eco-driven. With so many pros, are there reasons to say no to it? Yes, the downside would be that the leather band is rigid and needs time to set and it is bulky for those who wears suits on a daily basis.
