I ordered the #AT0200-05E and the #BM8180-03E and I was disappointed with them both.
My first complaint was these two watches diminutive size and weight. Also, I did not like that the case of the #AT0200-05E was brushed stainless on the sides but polished and shiny on top. I thought that the red on the second had and some of the lettering was a garish color to put on a watch. They were just not well done in my opinion which is something you want in a watch.
In the past I have bought a Fortis Flieger Automatic which is a really nice watch and the only pain with the Fortis is that you have to take it in to get it cleaned every couple of years or it won’t work correctly. I also have a Luminox 3000 Series dive watch which is also a really well done watch and the only pain with it is the wrist band is rubber and has to be replaced every year or two. The Luminox 3000 is lighter and only a little larger then the Citizen #AT0200-05E, but the Luminox LOOKS like a substantial object and next to it, the #AT0200-05E looks like a toy.
Before you buy a Citizen, I think you should try a search for Luminox, they cost about $100 more but are well worth it.

Received this watch for Christmas, have yet to wear it. The stitching on the band is unraveling. The watch face itself is not easy to read, the stopwatch dial is too small and makes it very challenging to see.

I was really looking forward to receiving this watch when I added it to my Wish List. I was “lucky” to get it as a birthday gift shortly thereafter. However, as the old saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for lest it come true”.
Despite Citizen’s excellent reputation, and the positive reviews listed on this page, this watch is poorly constructed from cheap materials. Instead of the brand, model, etc information being etched into the back of case, there is a simple sticker stuck to it. A sticker? WTF? The band is poorly stitched, with the stitching opening up leaving loose threads sticking out. And, finally, the crystal has cracked and chipped from normal daily use. (Nothing heavy duty. I work in a cubicle.)
I have had a low-level Seiko for 15 years that has never needed more than a battery. I’ve had this watch for a few months before having to send it in to replace the crystal. And, I will bet you a dollar they will not repair it under warranty, and want to charge close to purchase price for the repair. If this wan’t a gift from my wife, I would simply throw it away, and get another Seiko.

Oddly this watch for all of its dodads lacks a second hand and date readout. I returned it for the lower yet more suited for my needs version.
