Had my 1st CITIZEN divers watch in 1985, while a teenager and was extremely found of it. Now, after years of owning hundreds of various brands/models, I decided to return to my "1st love"! I'm quite impressed with its fine quality and unmatched accuracy. Way to go, CITIZEN , you just made me feel like a joyous teen again! Thank you.
Purchased just over a month ago. Have worn it constantly. Comfortable to wear, maintain a accurate time. Currently own several Citizen watches. All top quality..
I bought this as my weekend watch (I only wish I were a diver) to give a classic watch to wear that looks and functions great. The watch is easy to read, it never needs batteries which I like a lot. This is my fourth Citizen Eco Drive and has been a great addition.
I just loved this watch. Its exactly how I envisioned before buying it. Stylish, eco friendly and beuatiful. I’m definetely glad thet I bought it.
Most dive watches are difficult to wear outside of diving as they are built for function not fashion. This watch is different, as it holds all of the features and functions of a dive watch and it has design elements that allow you to wear it all the time.
I have only had the watch for 2 weeks. I will revisit the rating at a later date when ii have had it for about a year ant adjust the rating. So far I love the watch. It is exactly what I thought it would be.
A nice watch for the money. Definitely don’t like the very cheap band but it will do at that price.
Pros: I am a fan of eco-drive technology and like that I barely need to think about this watch ever running out of charge. I have no issues with it holding a power reserve, even though I spend most of my time indoors. Though 44mm might seem large on paper, it does not look oversized on my 6.5 inch wrist. Cons: I was not a fan of the rubber strap. It would fit well over a dive suit, but it is a bit long for everyday wear, and it was hard to get a good fit without any micro-adjustment options. It did not transition well to smarter outfits for work. I replaced it with a stainless steel jubilee bracelet and it is perfect. I also wish that the watch had a sapphire crystal. For a watch that is likely to stand the test of time in every other way, this was a shame not to have, and I would have paid extra for it. The bezel is also slightly out of alignment by about 1 or 2 mm, which is barely noticeable but a defect nonetheless. Overall, would buy again. I feel comfortable wearing it everyday in any situation from sports to work.
Nice and light for a diving watch. Elegant, though the material on the circular edge does look a little cheap.
