I really wanted an Eco-Drive watch and had my eye on this one. It is a beautiful, classic watch and I loved the feature that you could have it sized to fit. While I am totally satisfied with my purchase, I was surprised to discover that instructions on how to set the date/time were not included in the box. You have to go online with your watch's serial number and other details to locate instructions. I find this unnecessarily complicated. Citizen, please just include instructions in the packaging; don't make customers go through so many steps to start using and loving their watch!
I purchased my Corso about a month ago and I love it. It looks super sharp and keeps impeccable time---EXCEPT, I have one complaint. The watch does not come fully charged and it won't keep time accurately until it gets a charge that is near full, which directions says can take up to 55 hours in direct sunlight. At this level, it supposedly keeps accurate time for 180 days, but I haven't gotten to the fullest charge yet. Once charged, I have no doubt I can forget all about maintenance until the sun starts coming out again in the Spring.
A top feature is not needing a battery. Also Citizen has a good reputation and they are quality watches! I love the look of the watch.
I have had two Citizen Echo drive Watches & loved them. My latest one’s band broke & I didn’t think I could find one to match. So I ordered the Corso Echodrive Watch & was so disappointed when it arrived because it was double the weight & size of my old one. I have small wrists and this was just too much. Plus, I don’t like the new clasp. There was nothing wrong with the watch itself. I just hope that Citizen makes more models like my old one. I did call them and they were able to find the band to match my old watch. I’m excited to get that but sadly returned the new watch.
The watch was beautiful and the blue of the face was a nice contrast to the gold of the hands. Unfortunately, the watch face was too large for my wrist and the clasp was extremely large and uncomfortable, so I returned it for a full refund.
