I bought the blue BN0151 version a few months back as a weekend / beater / swimming watch. Ironic to own a really nice automatic Longines 300m diver that I avoid getting wet... Back to the Citizen, the value proposition is rather impressive: esthetics, lume, accuracy, charge it and forget it power source. There are a few cons that can addressed: the factory blue strap really lets it down (rather stiff and generally cheap feeling), the lug width at 20 mm is a bit small in proportion to the dial diameter, the crown tip (not the knurling) had some rough edges around the logo. I ended up getting a blue 22 mm Borealis rubber strap (Isofrane is another option) that I notched to fit the lugs. A bit of fine polishing using 3000 grit fixed up the sharp edges on the crown in 5 minutes. I also attached a couple of grainy iPad pictures for reference.
As many have already pointed out, Amazon Black Friday with full Citizen warranty was a better deal. But the Drop price is not that bad for such a good product.
