Watch is excellent. But Citizen failed to keep me updated with delivery track number, I had to email several times, and I did call multiple times and nobody answered either. I did get the watch delivered by surprise, not expecting it.
This watch spoke to me to fill a look for my collection of water safe watches to fish and swim with confidence. The grey and hybrid rose gold looks great with the face detail and the red details. The watch is fueled by light! Perfect for being on the water.
A friend recently introduced me to Citizen. I am very impressed with the eco-drive concept. I bought this watch as an “everyday, casual” watch. While I love the watch, and the look of the watch, I hate the band! I’ve already ordered a new, aftermarket replacement band. It is way too stiff. It doesn’t have any give and this the watch never sits in my wrist properly.
I bought the black and silver version of this watch a number of years ago. It has been a fantastic watch. Keeps very accurate time. It's off a couple of seconds a month. It has help up snorkeling and general use. Still looks new. I love the new colors. I have so many watches though that I can't seem to pull the trigger on more watches.
I needed a nice thank you gift for someone that helped me at my work. Being a professional pilot for over 50 years I am kind of a watch nut. Watches that range from Rolex to Casio. I have owned a Citizen Eco Dive for many years. The watch has been 100% bulletproof. Zero maintenance has been required. It just keeps running, and I am hard on watches. So I thought what a better gift that another Citizen Eco Dive. That watch came in a very cool presentation case that resembles a scuba dive tank. The watch came with the gray band that I thought looks great. The watch itself is very attractive. The face is very beautiful. The bezel is nice. But, most of all the person receiving the gift was very happy with it. I hope it brings him many many decades of continuous good use.
I am not happy with the watch band. Rose gold and grey. No!
I really like the looks and functionality of this watch. The date indicator is a bit on the small side but that is offset by the great illumination provided by the hour markers and hands and the fact that it’s solar powered means not having to deal with batteries, another plus.
I thought the watch came with a black band but it arrived with a med gray band. Cust Service and parts said they do not have a black band to fit my watch. I’d like to exchange it for the model with the dark blue bezel and black band.
The photos did not represent the physical watch unfortunately and the gray band and face with gold does not work. Citizen itself is a good product. I got the silver and black for a friend and they loved it. Looks nice. I really tried to like the color combo, but couldn't settle.
