I've had this watch about 2 years 5 months now. I have been wearing almost daily for the entire day for about 1 year and 7 months. When I received it, it was running spot on. I have only made adjustments to the hour hand on DST or when I am in a different time zone. The bracelet has lost some of the coating and it doesn't look great just okay, doesn't bother me, but it may be something to keep in mind. I mostly use it on leather. The case now has some scratches and a couple of small dings. Overall, however, it is in great condition. I have used the watch pretty much like I use to wear my g-shock, not really babying it, and it's held up great. I've been very impressed by it, it is the watch by witch I judge all other watches I may be interested in, and as a consequence I haven't purchased but two watches in almost 2 years and both I flipped.

The seconds hand no longer lines up perfectly, it's maybe less than a hairline off. The minutes hand is off. When the seconds hand gets to 60 seconds the minutes hand doesn't line up with the indice perfectly, it's a bit behind actually. I can correct this if I advance the hour hand a bit with the crown, but it reverts back. Not a huge deal but a minor annoyance. Not sure if this happened when I banged it on something or when I adjusted the hour hand for a time zone. Not enough to make me send it back to get adjusted though. It has surprisingly stood up very well to daily use. I've hit a doorway a couple times thinking, oh man, crack, and it was fine.

So, after having it for ~ 2yrs 5 months here is how it is running. I didn't keep track every single month, just whenever I remembered. Since I got it, I have never adjusted the seconds or minutes. So it being at +4 is something I am very happy with. The citizen leather strap is awesome, but expensive.

The amount of seconds ahead is on the right, date of reading at the bottom. I timed it against time.is and only used the differences in seconds not going more exact into ms.

I took some x15 and x10 pics with an iphone lens. A lot of specks at this magnification, I'm not sure from what, maybe the lume. I certainly can't see these without magnification though. With my eyes and regular camera it looks super clean no specks at all.
