This is my first Citizen and Eco-Drive watch. First, the set up and configuration can't be performed without charging the watch. Set the watch in sun light or under a bright lamp for a couple of hours before you attempt the set up. Also, it will help to print out the instructions because you have to flip back and forth between pages to set it up. They could have done a better job organizing the owners manual. The watch is nice watch for the price in my opinion. Most of my watches have a comma in the price. I wanted to add an "ice blue" face to my collection without paying a lot of money. The color of the face seems more of a powder blue then how it looks on line. The bracelet is nice and it's lighter than a stainless steel bracelet. The over all weight of the watch feels good. The chronograph function with the .20th second hand is really nice. I also like all the additional complications the watch has. I'm satisfied with my purchase.
I was given this for Christmas and while I love this watch for dress , I would agree with other reviews as the hands need to be a more contrasting color scheme. I have other citizen including my 17yr old daily wear Skyhawk that has not missed a beat and I have no doubt this watch will also give me years of enjoyment worry free .
Love my new Citizen watch. Looks great and you can never go wrong with Ecodrive technology. The only downside is since the casing is stainless steel, it has a very light feel which comes off as a little cheaper.
Excellent watch but hour/minute dials can be a bit hard to read
This is the final boss of watches. I've purchased several Eco-Drive watches over the years and love them all for different occasions. I also have a small collection from other brands that I've picked up along the way. But every other watch I own has the same fatal flaw: Is the time actually right when I put it on? Even the best battery-powered watches eventually need a new battery. My self-winding watches are usually only right twice a day after they've been sitting for a while. My other Eco-Drives are chronically out of date, at least every other month. That's why I absolutely love pairing Eco-Drive technology with radio-controlled automatic time setting. It basically eliminates both problems. No battery changes and no resetting the time. In fact, this has become the watch I use to make sure every other watch is correct before I put it on my wrist. I've only had it for a short while, so we'll see how it holds up. I may choose a different watch day to day depending on the occasion, but I'm still using this one every morning to keep all the others, and me, on time. My only negative so far is the bracelet. It's significantly lighter than the bands on my other watches and has a tendency to be a little squeaky. Unfortunately, that makes an otherwise excellent watch sound cheaper than it is. We'll see how the bracelet holds up to daily use, but for now it's the one part of the watch that doesn't quite live up to the rest.
Amazing look & quality. Well worth the money!
I’ve been impressed with the Eco Drive watches. I saw this one and had to add to my others but it sold out quickly. When it restocked, I ordered it. It’s better looking in person. Great watch!!
It was a best experience
Great price and quick shipment. Love the watch and its functions.
My husband absolutely loved the watch!
