| I STILL love this watch. I wear it every single day. It keeps perfect time. The solar powered feature is amazing. I really like not having to worry about the battery dying. It's heavy enough that it's sturdy but not so heavy as to be annoying. I had to have a few links removed so keep that in mind when you order. Any watch dealer will be able to remove the links but I think most people will need to have that done to make it wearable. After 5 years of abuse, the face is still scratch free. The band shows some wear but considering that I have never been gentle on it, I'm impressed with how well it's held up. I am ordering a new Citizen watch today just to have some variety, but I'm sure this watch will still be my day to day watch. Order with confidence. |
A lovely and quality watch

| I chose this watch from the Citizen Eco-Drive models I was interested in, and I really like it. It is simple but elegant and sporty in style and I would wear it with anything. |

A stunning, clean-lined watch. I've been wearing this watch for a couple weeks now, its so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it. Nice brushed steel band, a brighter silver ring around the face - and after exposing the face to light for awhile the hands glow green in the dark, then fade, which is a cool trick. It's not too bulky/big and not too dainty/small. Out of the box, the band was too long, be prepared to get it resized if you're anywhere near a regular wrist size.
The image here shows a darker blue-gray face - in reality it's simply gray, but that doesn't detract from it in any aesthetic way. That's actually why I picked this one, for the unique gray face. And if you are wondering about how you would ever replace the uniquely shaped band if it becomes worn looking from much use (like my last Fossil watch) - Citizen watches come with a five year limited warranty and all the Citizen Worldwide Service Centers are listed in the accompanying instruction booklet - emailing them or sending it in for a replacement band would probably be the only way to get the exact same Citizen band if it's possible.
And about the "fueled by light" feature - you don't have to wonder if your watch is getting enough light and will suddenly stop from lack of charge or something - I've been wearing mine for awhile and wearing it regularly makes that a non-issue. With a full charge its supposed to last six months in the dark. No batteries ever needed. All around a handsome, understated sleek and silver watch.

I love it

| I haven't had it for any great deal of time, but I love it so far. I kind of abuse watches so I was a little hesitant about getting anything other than a typical sport watch, but I really wanted something that looked nice. This seems to be just perfect. It's not hideous or too sporty, but it seems to hold up great. It's pretty light weight (but not cheap or insubstantial feeling) and is easy to put on and remove. The whole thing looks and feels sturdy and there's nothing that seems cheap or low-quality about it (unlike a lot of other watched I was looking at in the same price range.) Both the face and band seem like they're probably at least fairly scratch resistant (no scratches so far) and I really like the brushed stainless steel look, personally. |
I love this watch!

| I've worn this watch nearly every day for the past 4 years. It works just as well now as it did when I first received it (and I've acidentally dropped it a couple of times). It;s a little scratched now, but that is to be expected. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants a watch that is beautiful, classic and long-lasting. |
