Functional and attractive watch provide good value if water protection, automatic (no battery) , date/day, plus a Duggar’s strap. Downside; have to get manual/instructions online
I own 2 different Citizen Eco-Drives ( 1 sport, 1 Chronograph ) for myself and I am satisfied...although sport has some minor issues...After looking at all my options I got this "Field Watch" for my daughter as a graduation gift as she wants to have a carer in the military. She loves it. This was a factory direct, on-line purchase through the Citizen website. Watch and website meet all expectations.
I bought this because it has a classic look. I had been searching for an affordable time keeper, that could become a collectors item. It can compete with a Rolex and two Rolex wears reccomend it to me. I took a look, and I wasn't disappointed at all. I am taking to get it serviced water tested, crystal polished and a band change.
For my first watch I did a lot of research trying to find a cheap, nice watch that would last me a long time. When I first started looking I had no idea what I was even looking for, there are a lot of different watches out there. I first went to my local watch shops and I was not impressed. I then watched some youtube videos and learned what I like and what I don’t. The Good: This watch looks nice and is an everyday wear for me. The eco-drive is really nice for me because it keeps amazing time(+ or -1 sec in 3 months). Also, I don’t have to think about what I am wearing it with because it goes with everything. The dial has day/date function which is a great plus. This watch also has hacking which I didn’t expect for a cheaper watch. I got this watch off of amazon when it was 50% off and it came with in 2 days with prime. It is also light and not very thick The Bad: The band that originally came with this watch was not my favorite. I wore it for a couple of weeks and it had ok comfort but didn’t look the best. Instead of the original band I bought a nice leather one for $15. Besides the band, my only other complaint is that the face is not very scratch resistant.
Bought it for my son and he loved it . Comfortable and stylish
I searched 3 months for a watch that had all of the features I was looking for, hack feature water proof to at least 100 feet, military time, luminescence numbers and hands., and no battery, and small enough I could get a shirt or coat cuff over for under $250.00.. It is a tall order, I would have purchased the Luminox watch in the range of $350.00 with a 25 year warranty on the luminescence numbers and hands, except for one reason, they are so darn big. I like this watch and I new it did not have military time, it does everything they say except the luminescence, once charged it does not last very long, about 30 minutes at best. I use this feature since I spend a lot of time in woods hunting, and after loosing my cell phone by checking when shooting time ends, I thought the watch would be perfect, So what I am going to have to do is try not to compromise my position and shine my mini flashlight on it when I think it is close to quitting time. I do a lot of fitness and it has held up well. I did purchase this at a Zales in person, I would suggest doing that versus buying on line. I also purchased the NATO watch band and removed the one that came with it. Hope this helped you.
