This one of my reliable "go to" watches for everyday use - I just grab it, slap it on, and off I go. It is non-pretentious and it would make a great gift for someone. I would wait to buy it on sale when there are significant reductions in price at certain times of the year from authorized sellers. Citizen watches are made to last. All my Citizen Eco-Drive watches are functioning like new and they are many years old.
