The watch is even lighter than I expected. This is my second titanium watch from Citizen. I bought a dress titanium watch when I started my new job back in 2009. I am retiring next month and bought this as a retirement gift to myself. It looks great and I was really surprised how much lighter and comfortable the watch is. The time keeping should be great and no surprise for what I’ve experienced with my last Citizen watch. I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for the past 6 years. This watch looks so much better.
Love this watch, I do wish the date window was a little larger so I can read it easier. The watch is so light weight, especially with a silicone strap, I often forget that I'm wearing it.

Great dive watch. I’ve had other titanium timepieces by Citizen and they’re great products.
Love the looks and the weight And most of all being a Eco- Drive!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Back in the late 90s, I was gifted a Citizen Solar-Tech 180 Titanium. I love that watch. It finally came to the point where the cell would no longer hold a charge. I was unable to find a Jewelry store that would fix it, let alone admit that there was a problem with it. "It just needs a good charge....it's fine." I left the watch in direct sunlight for days and would only get an hours worth of charge from it. I saw this watch on Citizen.com and although it is not identical, it is very close to my original watch. The price was great (it was on sale) and I figured $400 for a watch that I know will run for 20 years without batting an eye is a great deal. Wonderful quality and very light (Thank you Titanium). Simple and elegant, not too flashy because that it not my thing. Perfect everyday watch
I purchased mine close to 3 years ago. This watch is accurate, only adjusting the time twice. Maybe 5 minutes total over 3 years. The watch is very rugged, I work with roto hammers and hand held grinders -still going. For a sport/business watch it's hard to beat. If I was to request any change it would be to make the date larger.
Great watch, love the style. Multiple people have complimented me on my Rolex. I didn’t purchase the watch because it looks like a Rolex but the compliments speak to the quality…
I just got the watch so I can’t say how it holds up to the salty environment....but I like the titanium band and the watch design....my other brand of watch which is titanium also has really done me good over many years but they no longer make this design....I just had the hasp fixed and it’s still going....I hope my Citizen will give me as many years....Its a great looking time piece....

This is a great watch I have only a couple complaints or critiques. Love for it to have a sapphire crystal glass. And Also the bezel action is not that great like to have a bunch better bezel action better tactile feel on the bezel and clicks that are better. The bezel action just feels really cheap all of my Citizen divers bezels feel kind of cheap even compare to Seiko or other micro brands that I own.
Just if the screw down crown was bigger and more finely machined to screw down easily and securely, in and out when needed, to adjust time and date. Crown feels cheap., weak and hard to get started. Date window is too small or could use magnifier cyclop lens?
Absolutely beautiful watch, the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s light and comfortable, just what I was wanting.This is my first dive watch and second citizen watch I’ll never own anything else they really knocked it out of the ballpark with this one. I had zero trouble sizing the bracelet, just YouTube the videos on how to do it and be careful with the pin and collars because the collars will come out really easily and they are very small.
The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because the watch doesn’t work well with different straps. Other than that I love it. It is super light weight and feels good on the wrist. Dial is crisp movement is smooth.
I have been shopping for a new titanium watch for some time. I looked at a number of automatic watches (Omega, Oris skeleton, Certina, GS). It needed to be at least 41mm as I have large wrists. I studied the designs long and hard and decided that the prices and mark ups were just too much to justify how I would use the watch. I know that automatics are "cooler" but having to reset the time or keep it in a winder just seemed to be too much maintenance for essentially a tool. After deciding to go quartz, I did a lot of research on this as well and ended up with this Citizen. I bought it directly from Citizen for a couple of reasons (even though it was $100 cheaper at the largest discounters). I wanted to make sure that there was zero chance of counterfeiting and I wanted it fit to my 8 3/4" wrist from the factory without playing around with extra links. It's been a month and I am extremely pleased with the watch. It is a great, well fitting, lightweight tool, which I decided I needed more than a "look what I can afford" statement.
I like the clean and simple but effective design of this lightweight Titanium 200m watch so it was a gift to myself. It replaces a 22 yr old Seiko quartz diver watch. Eco friendly solar battery watch never needs battery change and will probably outlast me. I use the bezel quite often for barbecue grilling and parking meter timing
Got this watch for Christmas from my wife, opened it Christmas Day and immediately noticed that the bezel hour markers and watch face markers did not line up. The bezel rotation was very sloppy and loose, and no matter how many times I rotated to try and line up marks it did not work. Approximately 1/16” slop in bezel movement before clicking to next location on dial. The secondary locking clasp was also defective and would not stay locked as on side did not line up correctly with the pin meant to hold it. Beautiful watch besides the poor controls already pointed out. Now I get to wait for a refund, who knows how long that is going to take since it took several days to receive a reply email with return labels from citizen. Overall very unhappy with purchasing directly from citizen, and will no longer trust them to send a properly functioning product out.
I've been waiting for a watch like this to come out as I love diver watches, but many of them are rather heavy and can cause fatigue on my wrist after long periods of time. I was excited when the watch became available, so I ordered one through a local jeweler. When the watch arrived, I immediately noticed how rough the rotating bezel felt when I turned it. It felt as though parts were grinding inside the bezel. I rejected this watch as defective and had the jeweler order another. The second one arrived a week later and although it was slightly better, it still had the same grinding problem when the bezel is slowly turned. The bezel ratcheting mechanism works poorly and feels like it was either incorrectly assembled or poorly designed. I asked for my deposit back and walked away in disgust and disappointment. The grinding, poorly functioning bezel really bugged me. This is not the level of quality I would expect from Citizen. I already own seven other Citizen Eco Drive watches, including some diver watches and two of the non-divers are titanium. This Promaster titanium diver watch does not come close to meeting my expectations of quality, especially at this price point. I hope Citizen addresses this issue with this watch as it seems like a nice watch otherwise.
Citizen Response
My first eco drive titanium watch was purchased over 25 years ago. That watch went through the grinder, but always looked great and kept very good time. Now I have purchased another. It’s just as great as my last. This watch will probably out live me. Love it.
The good - titanium and light. The bad - the date window. So small that I wonder why it is even a feature on this watch. Hopefully, Citizen will make a change in the future to put a bubble or make it larger.
I received this watch a few days ago. After putting it on I was extremely surprised how "Light Weight" it is. Way lighter than my previous Citizen watch which is the same 44mm size. Its titanium so I thought it might be a little more sturdy than what it is.
Although the wrist band was clearly stated it was four inches short.Also it was bent and would not open.Who ever inspected before shipping missed this one by a mile.
I like this watch a lot there's only one issue and that is the bezzle feel a reaction very stiff and crunchy. Pros- great looking watch super comfortable and light weight nice bracelet if you like the metal style bracelet, keeps good time has a great lume. It's solar! Why would you buy anything else especially not an automatic. You don't drive a car with replaceable Ignition points and crank windows anymore do you ? LOL Cons- No sapphire crystal the bezel action is horrible. If citizen would make this watch 41 or 42 mm 11mm thick, 4 o'clock Crown position and a nice blue face with a sapphire crystal I will buy another one assuming the bezel works better.
