  • Exactly what I wanted
Color: Brown Strap/ Stainless
Nice watch! Exactly what I wanted. The Eco Drives seems to work flawlessly and keeps accurate time right out of the box. The leather band is stiff but should soften up with wear. I wanted a dress watch with a simple face and no frills. This fit the bill and the price is very reasonable.

  • This Citizens, Eco-Drive watch it’s absolutely awesome
Color: Brown Strap/ Stainless
I bought my first Citizens Eco Drive watch in 1996, which was the Blue Angels that watch is still run. I will always buy citizens watches. This is a great addition to my collection. I was looking for a nice dress watch since all I had was chronographs. I have three that’s been running for 29 years, now that’s a watch no batteries no maintenance. My only complaint is the strap is too small for my 9 inch wrist. This watch is classy eloquent and I love it. ... show more

  • Good looking watch, great power system.
Color: Brown Strap/ Gold Tone
I chose this watch over another, similar Citizen with a standard battery. I figured if I ended up not liking it, I’d just return it and get the other one. However, I’ve decided I LOVE the look of this watch. The photos really don't do it justice ... it looks a lot nicer “live.” Take the time to learn about Citizen’s “Eco-drive.” I saw a few reviews from people who complained the watch didn't work right for them. Don’t know what that’s about, but Citizen has been making watches for about a hundred years, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t sending out many that “don’t work right.” I’m also sure they’ll immediately replace any new watch that turns out to be defective in ANY way. I suspect these reviewers never bothered to go online and read/understand all the instructions for the “Eco-drive,” and/or fully charge the watch before they started using it for the first time. For example, when the watch is low on power, it starts moving at two second intervals to tell the user it needs charging. That’s what mine was doing when I first took it out of its container, and if I hadn’t bothered to educate myself on this feature of the watch, I might also have thought at first that the watch was defective. The watch doesn’t come with any full, written instructions ... you have to go online to find/read them. When you do, you’ll learn that in order to “fully charge” the power cell in an Eco-drive the first time, you have to put the watch under a continuous light source for a pretty long time: direct sunlight: 11 HOURS; cloudy sky, 40 HOURS; 30W flourescent light, at distance of 8 inches, 130 HOURS. Once you’ve done that, the watch will then remain properly charged/working right on much shorter periods of light exposure (as pretty much everyone expects these watches to do). If you don’t do that, it will keep draining quickly, performing poorly, etc. It was cloudy and late in the day when mine arrived at my house, so I decided to start by leaving the watch under an LED desk lamp overnight (probably more juice than a 30W flourescent), and then in direct sunlight for about 8 hours the following day. After that, the watch worked flawlessly. Once I finished the initial charging, I set it very precisely against the clock on my computer, and checked it the following day (e.g., after being in the dark overnight), and found it to be exactly on time, to the second. When properly charged, I think this watch will keep time as well as any other watch out there with a Japanese quartz movement. Citizen movements are “industry standard” for most quality watches claiming a “Japan movement,” with accuracy ratings of around +/- 20 seconds a month. “Don’t make me get the strap ...” Some other reviewers have mentioned that the strap that comes with the watch looks cheap, but it isn’t really. It’s a “Citizen” strap, made in Thailand, “genuine leather” with the softer, top grain stuff on the inside; seems pliable and nicely finished to me, and a good cosmetic match for the watch. But if you wear the watch a lot, particularly in humid conditions, and/or if the skin on your wrist perspires a lot, you’ll probably need a replacement strap before too long. However, here’s the rub. If your wrist is 8 inches or more around (mine’s right around that, and this strap *just* fits at its maximum width), this band probably won’t comfortably fit you, and its 21mm width at the point where it connects to the watch is an oddball size for which very few decent replacement options are available. Citizen does not make an “extra long” replacement for the band they provide with this watch, and it literally took me days of searching before I finally found a “not-as-good” replacement band on E-bay that didn’t cost a fortune. The main “thing” with this watch is just making sure it sees enough daylight to keep the power system healthy. Just wearing the watch on a regular basis should do the trick for most users. However, if you typically wear your watch under the cuff of a long-sleeved shirt or jacket, you’ll probably want to take it off and put it under direct sunlight for a few hours once a week or so, just to make sure the power cell is regularly getting enough good back-up charges. TMK, Citizen was the first watch maker to mass produce a solar-powered wristwatch, and I’m guessing that by this time, they’ve made and sold more of them than any other manufacturer on planet Earth, so their “Eco-drive” system is probably as good as it gets for this price. It’s a “gimmicky” technology, with the same set of quirks/issues found in all “solar” stuff, but I still like it, and I’m glad I got this watch. It looks sharp, keeps good time; I can now brag that MY watch is “greener” than YOURS; I like the fact that it’ll run a VERY long time without needing a battery replacement, and I’m sure it will provide more than enough years of trouble-free service to justify its relatively modest cost. [P.S. to original review ... after about a week of checking the watch against the clock on my computer, I noted that it's creeping a little faster, probably around a half-second every 24 hours. So after a month of running, it should be around 15 seconds faster than the original set time ... within the published margin of error for Citizen "Miyota" quartz movements: +/- 20 seconds per month. Works for me ... still love the watch, and don't mind having to occasionally re-synchronize it. Anyone who wants/needs a timepiece more exact than that should spend the extra $$ on one of those atomic/radio-controlled jobs ...] ... show more

  • Back to classic watches.
Color: Black Strap/Stainless Steel
Like many, I have too many watches. From fancy "fruit" watches to big clunky watches that show the barometer. But if you want something classic, something unassuming but beautiful, this is a great option. In my rotation when I want a great quality watch. Plus, doesn't need to be placed on a charger.

  • Classy timepiece at a Bargain Price...!!!
Color: Black Strap/Stainless Steel
I generally stick with stainless steel bands, but when this watch was offered at a sale price, I couldn't resist. This piece has a very classy look, and definitely draws comments from curious lookers. The solar forever aspect makes winding or batteries completely forgettable, not to mention saying goodbye to all maintenance costs. The leather band is stiff at first, but breaks in soon enough. If you can snag this piece on sale - it will easily fit into your watchware lineup...!!! ... show more

  • Quality is everything!
Color: Brown Strap/ Gold Tone
Very happy with my purchase. This was a gift for my husband for Christmas and he wears it several times a week. Would recommend to those who like citizen watches. I like that you can wear it with pretty much anything whether that be casual daily wear or out to dinner.

  • Great Watch!
Color: Brown Strap/ Gold Tone
Beautiful watch. I replaced the brown leather band with a full quill ostrich band; looks fantastic. Watch is very easy to set, we'll see when next month comes around if I got the day right. A nice affordable dress watch.
