I love this watch; the fit is excellent, it keeps Good time, and the eco-drive is worry-free. I have had several Citizen watches and I doubt any other brand stands so firmly behind their product.
What can I say? It’s the perfect watch. I was looking for a daily driver. I’ve always hated regular quartz. I like automatics but innaccuracy makes them annoying for a daily. I recently bought a gshock tough solar and discovered the world of solar. Gshocks are great but they’re not classy. So I did some research, and quickly learned the best of the best for solar watches is the citizen eco drive. I wanted one with a clocking bezel. Not because I need it for diving. But I love that sweet sound. But most of the ones I saw were close to 44mm. Too big for my small wrists. Then this baby showed up in May. I knew it was perfect the moment I saw it. But in principal, I can’t buy something until it goes on sale. So I tortured myself for 3 months, looking at this watch every day, until finally the price dropped. I picked it up immediately, and it hasn’t left my wrist since it got delivered. The size is perfect. The clocks are perfect. The lume is blinding. And the accuracy is spot on. 5 stars
Love this watch. Accurate and comfortable. Wearing it now . Super nice quality!
Well made and excellent timepiece
I purchased this watch for my husband. He really likes it and it looks nice on his wrist. It’s the perfect size.
My citizen diver is the best yet. Very comfortable and easy to read. Extremely accurate as well. I highly recommend it!
This is my first Citizen watch and I'm super happy with the look and feel of it. Very convenient to print out the size guide and have it fit straight out of the box, and the 41mm dial looks right on my 7-1/4" wrist. Timeless style and not monstrous like many other dive watches. The lumens kind of turn green in bright sunlight but give off a nice glow in the dark. I'm still on the fence about the bracelet - the tool-less micro-adjust is nice, but the long clasp makes it too rigid to spin on the narrow part of my wrist.
I have the BN0261-51e black dial. Saw it advertised in Spain & Italy a month or two ago. I finally saw it on the Citizen USA website 7 June and ordered it. Got it 11 June. It’s exactly what I wanted. Perfect size, looks great on my 7.25 in wrist. Bezel is smooth. The tool less micro adjusting clasp is fantastic (I adjust the fit a couple times a day)! Solar panels on my roof and in my watches.
This is the perfect watch for my everyday needs, and it is truly impressive in its understated elegance and reliability.
I was looking for a diver style watch that fit well on my 6.8” wrist, was solar powered, and this is perfect. Thickness is 11.5mm with a bezel diameter of 40.4mm. It doesn’t say if it has an anti reflective coating on the sapphire, but compared to others in my collection it would seem to.
