Is this watch automatic or quartz?

It is automatic. The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist and has no battery. If you leave it off for a day or two it will stop and need a few shakes or a manual wind to restart.

It is rated to 50 meters, which covers hand washing, rain and brief splashes. It is not built for swimming or diving; a 100 m or higher rating is the usual minimum for that.

Does it have a date window?

The NH8350-59L is a simple three-hand watch with no date or day display. If you want a date, look at other Citizen automatics in the same line.

How does it compare with a Seiko 5?

Both are entry-level automatics on steel bracelets. The Seiko 5 line typically offers 100 m water resistance and a day-date display, while this Citizen keeps a cleaner dial and a 50 m rating.

The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with the case and paperwork from Citizen. A different strap is not included.

Will the bracelet fit a large wrist?

The bracelet has removable links, so a jeweler or a small tool can size it to your wrist. Check the clasp and links before adjusting it yourself.

Our take on the Citizen Men's Classic Blue Dial Watch NH8350-59L

The Citizen NH8350-59L is a men's automatic dress watch with a stainless steel case and bracelet, a blue dial, and a mineral crystal. It runs on Citizen's self-winding mechanical movement with no battery, and it is rated to 50 meters of water resistance. It suits buyers who want a simple, legible mechanical watch on a steel bracelet without paying for a Swiss name. Against entry-level Seiko 5 and Orient automatics it is plainer on paper: mineral rather than sapphire glass, 50 meters rather than 100, and no day window. Owners of this line tend to value the clean dial and the bracelet more than the spec sheet.
