Lame alarm

Citizen Eco-Drive Mens Perpetual Calendar Radio Control Watch AT4004-52E
Citizen Eco-Drive Mens Perpetual Calendar Radio Control Watch AT4004-52E

Pros: Elegant; a true dress watch that will get a lot of favorable comments. Technologically one of the best on the market.

Cons: Alarm is inaudible; can hear it only if the watch is at your ear. Is partly due to the VERY high frequency of the alarm.

Overall Review: I ordered this watch because of its multiple features and elegant looks. Its the most beautiful, most functional, and most technologically advanced watch I've ever encountered. . . and I returned it the day after I got it. Everything on it worked except the alarm. Well, actually the alarm "worked" in that it did go off at the set time, but IT WAS INAUDIBLE UNLESS YOU HAD THE WATCH NEXT TO YOUR EAR! I am dumbfounded how a company like Citizens can design such a sophisticated timepiece and give you an alarm that nobody but a dog or cat would hear unless it was right at your ear. If you don't care about the alarm, this is a super watch and worth every penny. If you do, don't buy it.

Not a good card

Pros: Inexpensive.

Cons: Extremely slow, despite its 128MB VRAM. I bought it to replace a 3-yr. old MSI 64MB NVidia MX 4 card that died. It's an ASUS card and I have an ASUS MoBo, but on scrolling documents, it is AGGREVATINGLY slooooooow. I returned it in the hope of getting something better.
