Watch is great. Nice and clean and slim. I just wish the numbers glowed a little brighter in the dark. They're legible, but not the brightest. At this price point though, they're plenty acceptable.
I bought this on Amazon’s super sale day, got a great deal. Eco Drive is the only way to go for a daily “driver”. Great value......buy one you won’t be disappointed.
Great watch! I wear it as a casual watch for everyday wear. It doesn’t always “go” with everything because of its green band, but not that big of a deal. I’ve received compliments on it and actually someone liked it so much they bought one for a present for their brother right there on the spot during lunch. I like how it looks and feels. Since I’ve owned this watch for several years, had to buy a replacement band. Now, let me be clear- I wear watches for style not function. I don’t really pay attention to the right time, but I think it stays pretty accurate. The date function and day of the week, I’ve never really gotten it a to sync up. But that takes some effort to check it at least monthly to ensure the days pair up with the month. Again, not a big deal to me. But that’s why it gets a 4.5 from me because it does require some attention if you always want the days and date to sync up. The face is a 37mm so it’s nice and compact. I have thin wrists but I think this can accommodate most size wrists. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a simple everyday watch that did not need daily care or charging. My last Citizen lasted 30 years, so decided to get a replacement from then. This watch fits the bill perfectly. Easy to set time/date/day of week with a single crown, keeps excellent time, needs minimal exposure to light to keep the battery going, lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, a minimalistic watch for those looking for a simple timepiece. My only ding would be that the band provided with the watch is not a good choice and detracts from the quality of this watch. It’s easy to get a nice replacement band as the watch uses most standard 18mm bands and seeing I typically replace provided bands with a nice silicon one I did not see this as a problem.

Nice little watch, a relief from some of the behemoths that show up on some wrists these days. Keeps good time, and a neat, crisp appearance. My only gripe is the watch band. Not good, tough to fasten, and very stiff. Otherwise a Five Star timepiece!
I love this watch. This is a classic and updated watch. Classic because of the numbers and date face, Updated because of the Eco-Drive technology. I was looking for this kind of watch for a long time and finally found it.
Watch itself is great. Replaced the band right away as the original was uncomfortable and did not fit my wrist (I have small wrists).
This watch is exactly what I was looking for. I'm in the military so I love the military style theme that it has. I also like that the underside of it is leather which will prevent odors from developing in the fabric band as it is worn more and more. I also love the smaller size. It's not a huge watch face like a lot of watches seem to be these days.
