Love this watch. Simple, easy to read, nothing wasted on extras. Size is perfect to stay out of the way as you work while wearing. Day calendar stays accurate without having to constantly adjust each depending on setting. Cons: my only real issue is the band. The size holes are gaped with robust rivets. This creates significant sizing changes which each adjustment and I’m in between sizes. Small concern is that the luminescence on the numbers can fade and become difficult to read at night. Would buy again! Would recommend for a great working watch.
Great Weekend Watch! Looks ruggedly stylish with a military influence. Definitely a must have. I highly recommend this watch. Well worth the price!
My watch size 37mm to 40mm for my wrist size. This watch is much nicer than the photos. I but a black leather band on it. Looks sharp. Works great on the time.
Love the look of this watch, the only thing I changed was the strap. I put on an orange crown and caliber and it has been a great summer watch.
Smaller face than I expected. But the watch is slick and fits every occasion. Keeps time perfectly and I love the look.
This watch is perfect. I’m a smaller framed guy with small wrists. This watch is great it’s not big or too small it checks all the boxes for durability and sustainability. I’m coming from 7 years of Apple Watches and this is my first REAL watch and I honestly say I’ll never go back to touch watches.
I was looking for an all-around watch that had a day/date function and would hold up to the elements. I have gone through multiple watches, a Hamilton Khaki, a Victorinox Maverick, a Seiko field watch and a Fossil watch. I finally stumbled upon this Citizen Chandler field watch and what a great piece of workmanship. I use heavy equipment that vibrates my hands and arms and all the other watches I mentioned were a bit on the heavy side. The Citizen Chandler is perfect. Lightweight and comfortable, this watch has stood up to all the vibrations from the equipment, has been through the mud, the rocks, the heat, humidity, and all that the weather can throw at it and it still performs and looks great. I can’t think of a more perfect watch! It is very easy to read and the lume is amazing at night; lasting until daylight. Forget all the smartwatches with all their bells and whistles along with constant charging. No battery needed here, just a light source. You will not be disappointed in this watch.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I am small-average build for a woman and this fits perfect! Not too dainty, yet not the normal oversized man watch face, but comes with a durable military-style band. The watch is sleek enough thy it could also be dressed up with a metal band too! My husband has had a similar Eco-drive military-style watch for nearly a decade now, so I knew, if it looked okay on my wrist (size-wise) it’s be a keeper!

Perfect size, beautiful yet simple finish. Over night lume, very legible all around. Reliable, accurate, and solar. Can't beat that, plus great customer service by the Citizen team. Well done, thank you team.
I first bought this watch in 2008 and have worn it every day for the last twelve years without it ever missing a beat and it still looks great and works perfectly. I've never been a fan of the band but this watch goes from formal to casual with a band change. If I had one thing to change, it would be to have the hands a bit longer. This is the third one I've bought, this time for a good friend. Just a great everyday watch and the perfect size so you don't have to wear a manhole cover on your wrist like most men's watches these days.
I love this watch I will confess that I sleep with every night
What a great watch, purchased to have an everyday watch. Its built beautifully, the case and strap are sturdy and comfortable. This makes 3 eco drive watches i own now, and it's definitely my new favorite.
This watch has seen many changes in my life. I purchased it on my first overseas deployment with the military... 20 years and a family later, I still love this watch. The original band is long gone (I literally wore it out), but the watch never fails to keep time and the date. If you're wanting something simple and timeless, you've found it.... and yes, it still glows! I do miss the drab green band.
This is an excellent all-around wristwatch: solar powered, accurate, and good-looking it can serve as a "field" watch, or with an upgraded strap it definitely dresses up well. It's better looking in person than in a photo, with good proportions. The mix of brushed and polished surfaces works well, the red sweep-second hand stands out, the lume is useful, and the water resistance fills out the features list. All in all, this is a classic: it could be your only watch.
High accuracy in keeping time and hands and markers after exposure to light last all night glowing
This beauty did not disappoint! Simple, functional, classic appearance, what more could you want from an everyday watch? Very satisfied with the Eco-Drive as well. Not a huge fan of my other mechanical watch batteries dying in storage.
I have worn this watch For several years now. I was looking for a good everyday field watch style, I was tired of always changing batteries, and this was perfect. The strap was a little too small for my wrists so put it on a nato strap which looks great.
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.
I've been wearing this for at least 5 years now. It's comfy, slim but thick enough to feel good, easy to read, perfect blend of stand-out and blend-in. I've received so many compliments on this watch, "I don't even wear watches and I like that". It just keeps getting better with age, even after the dives I've taken it on. Timeless piece and never needs batteries!
I changed the band with a 550 chord military style one
Comfortable, great looking, no hassle watch. It's comfortable to wear and is a beautiful timepiece. The Eco-Drive makes this watch a great value.
My wife surprised me with this watch for Christmas, and to be honest, I was really hoping she would get me an apple watch. After wearing this beauty for the past month, I haven't even thought about wanting an apple watch. Weird, I know, but it's the truth. This has style and simplicity that is unmatched. I did end up swapping out the band for a silicone band so I could wear it in the water and not have a soggy band. The stock band is nice, and will probably switch it back and forth depending on the occasion.
I bought my watch a few months ago. I wanted a simple face with Eco drive. The watch has been very accurate. I wear it every day and it shows no signs of wear.

Super happy with this watch except the glowy stuff on mine does not work that well, at least compared to some videos I watched.
Female. 30 yo. This watch fits me perfectly, even though it's marketed for men. The design is so much more usable than any ladies watch, and the face is even smaller than some of the women's style eco-drives that Citizen makes. It's got a beautiful military style, and if you change up the band, it could look pretty sleek! As some other reviewers noted, the "eyelet" design around the band that's used to close/latch the clasp of the watch can be hit or miss. It fit my wrist perfectly, by chance. I can close it to the third hole from the actual time piece, about 6.5 inches. I would recommend searching online for an alternate band style, at 18mm, which is easy enough, I would think.

Received this time piece as a gift. Really happy with the look - Appropriate for business casual environment or the great outdoors. The design is simple, yet refined, and the Eco-Drive is a nice touch.
I bought this watch on sale on black Friday and got a great price. I couldn't be happier with the watch. It keep great time and the solar function is awesome. The original band is fairly comfortable, especially once it breaks in a little bit. I changed it out for a black band and it made the watch look like a dress watch. It's like having two watches in one. When I want to be active I put on the nylon green strap and go out hiking or exercise and then I can throw on the black strap and wear it to work. Either way it looks good and functions well.
I received this watch as a gift from Christmas. I love quarts for the accurate time but hate having to deal with a battery. The Eco drive system solves this problem; accurate time and never have to replace the battery. This was watch is durable and very comfortable. While the band is comfortable, I'm not a huge fan of the big holes on the band; however, they make the band very durable. Overall, this is a great watch for the money. I suggest buying it.
I have had this watch about 7-8 months and absolutely love it. Easy to read, easy to set, and never needs batteries!
I suggested this to my family as something I wanted for Christmas and I got it. Love the look of the military looking watch band. It is very easy to read the time on this watch with the thicker hands. This is my first experience with an Eco-Drive watch and so far I love it.
I got the watch for Xmas & if I was working in construction it would be great but I am retired so I changed to a spiedel & love the watch ⌚️
Bought this for a casual watch, really like the clean look, like the canvas strap and eyelets, different looking but good. Really like eco drive, no batteries, always works.
I purchased this watch for myself and I'm really glad that I did. I've been wanting to get a real watch for some time and this was a great first entry. I wear it almost every day.
I am a big watch buff I own many high-end watches and every day watches and I find that this particular model has the style the ruggedness to be used every day and can be most of all I like the fact that it runs well accurate and never needs a battery I'm enjoying a very Much
A great watch that does what it needs to do - tell time! The design is simple and classic and one that I know I use for generations. With the Eco-drive, it alleviated my main concern with quartz watches - changing the batteries and keeping the water resistance. Since I don't have to change batteries, that is no longer a worry. It doesn't have some of the high-end features (e.g., sapphire crystal), but for the price, the features and quality are top notch. I consider this a good everyday watch that can be dressed up and down with just a change of the band.
