So far, this is the most reliable watch I have owned at any price. I've had this watch fro 2 years now, and wear it nearly every day. I've left it in a drawer for a few days and it did not lose time. I bought it for water-resistance and toughness - I am outdoors a lot and it has Stood up well. One thing I am changing on mine is the band - the band it comes with has held up perfectly, I just prefer a twist-o-flex type of band for comfort.
Well made, quality is superb. Very easy to use and wear. Much less bulky on the wrist than other dive watches I have worn. Highest recommendation for functionality and value.
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.
