Is the Citizen Brycen AT2585-08E worth it at $255?

At $255 at Macy's as of November 5, 2026, it is a fair price for a steel quartz chronograph with 100m water resistance. Compare the 5 stores listing it new before buying.

How does the Brycen compare with Citizen Eco-Drive chronographs?

The Brycen runs on a standard quartz battery, so it needs a battery change every few years. Eco-Drive models cost more but recharge from light and skip battery swaps.

Is 44.8mm too big for my wrist?

It is a large case, so it suits wrists roughly 7 inches and up. Try one on if you can, or check the lug-to-lug width against a watch you already own.

Yes. It is rated to 10 ATM (100 meters), which covers swimming and snorkeling. Avoid pressing the chronograph pushers underwater.

You get the watch on its silicone strap and Citizen's documentation. Box contents can vary by seller, so confirm with the store.
