I bought this same exact model, about a month ago. I was really hesitant given the size of it and the reviews of that size. The smaller size also seems to demand a higher price from what I can only assume is market demand. In the end, it fits my 6.75 perfect for me. I'm older now, pushing 57 and it's easier to see.
You would think a black dial would be difficult to see in most lighting conditions, but the finishing on the hands enables the watch to be very readable in nearly any lighting condition. I couldn't get the band to fit, all of my screwdrivers kept walking off the screw heads. To avoid scratching the hell out of it I put a black stingray band on it I found under searching for "Bespoke Genuine Black Leather Stingray Watch Strap Band". And it is perfect for the watch.
I haven't yet figured out why I want to wear this so often over my other watches. Is it the fit? the finish? The weight? It's all of them. I'm a computer guy whose servers all run on UTC time so the GMT is actually quite useful (justificaton) for my everyday wear.
Still, now I'm tempted to pickup the white varient. Damnit.
I have this exact Citizen. I've had it for a few years now. I wore it to work every day in a dirty, gritty, filthy factory where we make printing ink. It has a few scratches on the bottom of the clasp, more like scuff marks. But the rest of the watch is near new condition. The titanium isn't indestructable, but it is closer than anything made of steel. It protect your investment and keeps your watch looking 1st-day perfect much, much longer. At this point, anything outside the realm of dress watch, for me, has to be titanium. I tend to always find myself right where the Universe's gears mesh and I'd rather my watches not suffer for it.
