Received as a christmas present 18 yrs ago and it has barely missed a beat. Runs about 30sec fast a month and all I do is pop the stem to let time catch up. Capacitor battery may be showing its age and it got low on charge recently.I think It was just inside too much. I have spent more on bands than it cost in 2005.Crystal is pretty scratched up and I avoid submersing it if I can help it. I think as watches age the waterproof rating diminishes and I find it easier to just not shower or swim with it. And I have a leather band on it also.
This was a gift. My brother loved the Garrison Eco Drive
Had this for about a month now, primarily as a watch for work. Overall it seems to be a reliable and attractive daily watch. Pros: Accurate quartz (has lost about 1s in a month), clear and easy to read in daylight, nicely finished case and quality leather strap. Cons: Lume is below average - only the hands have it applied and it's nowhere near as bright as others (like my Seiko dive watch). Also the 24-hour time indicators are tiny, and even with my glasses on they're almost impossible to read - Citizen should have made them much larger or left them off entirely.
EcoDrive watches are a bargain and beautiful. I have saved hundreds of dollars on batteries over the years and they are truly dependable.
