| Whether navigating a business deal or the rough ocean waves in your kayak, make a bold statement with the Citizen Corso BM8120-56E titanium men's watch. Titanium is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion. This large, round watch measures 1.5 inches in diameter and sits prominantly on your wrist. It's powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artifical light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. It features a polished titanium bezel, textured black dial background, mix of silver dial markers and Roman numerals, luminous baton hands (with second hand), and day/date feature at 3 o'clock. The round case is fully integrated into the rounded, skeletal-like titanium bracelet, which is joined by a push-button, fold-over clasp. Other features include Japanese quartz movement, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), and Citizen's 5-year warranty. |

| I bought this watch because it looks good. But when I got it on my wrist, WOW! It's spectacularly light and each of the tick marks actually has two sections on it, this means each of them shimmers as you move the watch! Additionally, this is the first non-lit watch that I can actually read with NO light. The effect of the luminescence lasted about an hour and a half. I have about three more watches that claim to be visible after the lights go off, but this is the FIRST to actually make good on that claim. I just wish I had waited a couple of weeks to buy it, I could have saved about thirty dollars. |
Very nice watch

| I got the watch off Amazon for a birthday gift and I must say I'm impressed. It looked good in the picture here, and it looks even better in person! I read about the arm hair pulling problem and I don't have any problems but that's probably because I'm only 15 and I'm Asian so my arm hair isn't exactly long so I have no answer to that. My arm is only about 2.5 or so inches wide so I'm skinny needless to say, and the watch still fits me fine after removing some links. Time is accurate from what I can tell, but I had a little trouble setting the date, wouldn't turn past Thursday at first though I got it to by fowarding the time to the next day. I don't know if it's a problem or not since I haven't read the guide yet. Another thing I'm impressed by is the fact that this watch is solid titanium. Even in the middle of the links. Many cheaper watches are hollow inside the links, but not this one, it's solid titanium all the way through. As others have said, the markers really are very bright in the dark, I tested it in a completely dark room and I was able to tell the time with no trouble at all. I would recommend this watch for anyone looking for a stylish watch that's not too pricy. It's great for everyday wear so don't hesitate if you think it's too formal. If I, a 15 year old thinks it's not too formal, it probably isn't :). Hope this helps some of your decisions. |
Excellent choice

I previously bought a Citizen Eco-Drive Blue Angels Skyhawk stainless steel digital/analog watch. It was beautiful to look at but hard to read because of the busy dial and the very low contrast digital LCD subdials. I returned the watch and bought the Corso.
Two things about this watch attracted me: (1) the light weight of the titanium case and bracelet, and (2) the easy-to-read dial. I can quickly and easily read off the time, date, and day of the week on this watch. With the Skyhawk, this wasn't possible without reading glasses.
The bracelet deserves special mention. It does come with a locking pin, and it integrates nicely with the watch case. The titanium finish of the bracelet is unusual. Parts of it are in a brushed/matte metal finish (typically seen in titanium watches), and other parts of the links are highly polished. This makes the bracelet very attractive, but I am wondering whether the titanium bracelet might actually be a combination of stainless steel and titanium.
All in all, this is a great watch at a very attractive price. |
Great watch!

| I'm a little bit particular about my watches. I like a quality watch with few frills. It should look as if the band and watch flow together. This watch is very comfortable, and so light that I forget that I am wearing a watch. The watch is very high quality, looks great, and the dial glows brightly all night. |
I love this watch

I was looking for solid, practical, good looking, reliable, accurate and styled watch. I preferred light, water resistant and something fresh in design.
I found these all in this watch.
Before adjusting the bracelet I waited to check the accuracy and water resistant features.
After two weeks it is off by 1-2 sec from etalon clock(on my computer) unless computer clock is off by itself.
I was swimming in the pool with the watch and I love the lightness and feel of titanium case and bracelet.
I have no problem with arm hair pulling off by the bracelet as mentioned in some other reviews even though I had this problem with other bracelets.
I think the watch is excellent choice in up to $150-$200 range, epically when it sells for even less in Amazon.
