  • 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

  • watch band issues
Color: Black Strap/Stainless Steel
Watch is fine but the leather band is very stiff. It makes the watch uncomfortable to wear. The watch moves and does not sit flat on the wrist.

  • Great Watch
Color: Brown Strap/ Gold Tone
Good size and weight for a thin wrist. I am very happy this watch. The only issue that I have with it is the metal face will at times reflect the sun when you are out doors. It will still be my every day wear watch.

Fast delivery. Love that the watch is light weight as I do not like heavy watches. The gold tone finish looks fantastic, like real gold. Very happy with it.

  • RELIABLE EASILY READABLE and HANDY!
Color: Black Strap/Stainless Steel
I've bought several ECO DRIVE watches since Citizen first started making them. NOT ONE HAS CEASED TO FUNCTION! Very excellent workmanship--every one of them still keep accurate time. THANK YOU CITIZEN! N.B.: Some folks say "I don't need a watch; I have a phone that tells time." So...they never put their phone down? They wear, hold or always keep their phone in their pocket in case they want to know the time only? Many an iphone has been cracked by the force of a gluteus maximus (big butt). I'd rather watch my Citizen Watch and quickly, easily refer to it all day long, than have to carry my phone 100% of the time! -Bill, Tucson AZ USA ... show more
