Beautiful and elegant

I bought this watch about 5 months ago (Sept. 2016) for myself to wear as a dress watch. I had previously bought myself a watch for everyday wear from a different company (also solar powered). I loved that feature and began to look for it in a dress watch. After looking at many other products from several companies, this one won my purchase. I was initially concerned with the gold/silver contrast from the photos (as those are typically opposite color schemes), but after receiving the watch it is not an issue at all. The gold is very subtle and works very nicely with the rest of the design. This is also a very comfortably thin watch. Thick enough that it feels sturdy and well-made, but also the thinnest watch I own (though, I only own 4 or 5 watches; and this is my only dress watch). The band is nice-looking and comfortable, although for my wrist size, I seem to be between holes. Therefore the watch is either too tight or slightly too loose (my wrist is about 7 inches in circumference). No big deal, it still works and looks good. Bottom line, this is a beautiful watch that seems to be very well-made and keeps accurate time. I would definitely recommend this watch (or other Citizens!) to a friend. In fact I bought the same watch for my brother for Christmas after I received mine and he loves it too!

simple elegance

I have had the watch for a little over 6 months. I wear the watch everyday, to work, going out, etc. There are few watches that can fit with any attire, but the simple elegance of this watch just works. I mentioned work, I work in a warehouse and have had no problems with scratching or damage of any kind.

Very stylish and accurate.

I'm glad I bought this watch. I have owned watches in the past that have been stylish but sacrificed easy to read function. This watch combines style with function and is incredibly accurate with its eco-drive technology. The strap seems a little stiff at first, but with a little wear it softens up and conforms to your wrist. I recommend this watch to anyone who wants a great looking timepiece at a great price.

Great watch

I've been an Eco-Drive customer for almost 2 decades. The ease of use of these watches is great (never have to worry about batteries) and their durability & resilience are incredible at the price. I needed a simple black dress watch, so I went straight to the Citizen web site & the Eco-Drive collection. Found exactly what I was looking for. The only drawback to the analog watches is that the day/date feature doesn't factor in months with less than 31 days, so you have to manually adjust this setting some months. Nailing down the date to the correct 24-hour rotation can be a little tricky, too. Mild inconveniences for the quality & performance of these watches. Oh, and they look great! Love 'em!
