I have about 200 watches, including 20 Citizens. But this one is disappointing. Every other analog chronograph is instantly available. But this one requires a tedious mode change (pull the crown and rotated it to CHR). As another reviewer stated, this watch is very complex to set. I'm a "techy" and learned to do that. But it's impossible without the manual. Also every other analog chrono resets by pressing a pusher at 4:00 o'clock. But doing that reads 1/10 second. To reset, you must press the start pusher for 2 seconds.
Great watch. This is my 3rd Eco Drive. First one is over 25years old and still runs perfect, so I wouldn’t put much stock in the “only good for 4-5 years” review. I love the size and the readability. It’s a little different to set, but once you read the instructions and figure it out, it makes sense. I like this model better than the other two because you change the mode with the crown. The other ones used the buttons and sometimes if you were working on something it would end up in chrono mode. The citizen eco drive is a solid watch that has served me well. Recommend this to anyone. Titanium is nice because so much lighter.
Bought the watch because of it's looks and functions. It's stopped dead twice in five years. I've been told by a jeweler that these watches are only good for five or six years. I expected more than that for a $450 watch.
Have had the watch for a week and am very satisfied with it. Very pleased with the perpetual calendar, when going from November to December it worked flawlessly. Bought it for the titanium metal, I get a rash on my wrist with the stainless steel and shouldn’t occur with the titanium. Only one minor issue with watch is the luminous dial isn’t as bright or last as long as other watches I have owned. Would most definitely recommend the watch to others.
I bought this watch today at Macy's. It did not come with a manual so I downloaded. Its a beautiful watch. I have yet to figure out how to set time time properly and it seem it needs a reset. It seems too complicated and huge time suck. Thus i am not recommending it and may take it back.
I have had it for a month. It is so light it like you aren't wearing anything. Love the perpetual calendar.
