I'm excited to have a watch that is powered by light and requires no batteries. It is keeping perfect time. I've never had a watch that ticks so quietly - I almost can't hear it, even next to my ear. I love the style, which is a nice combination of sporty and classy.
I purchased this timepiece for my wife at Christmas! She has always admired my Citizen Skyhawk and this was a great time to introduce her to the wonderful craftsmanship of Citizen timepieces. Although this is her first Citizen, she has already expressed interest in additional Citizen timepieces! She has received a multitude of compliments from friends and coworkers. She is in love with her first Citizen!
This watch is very stylish yet good for everyday use, too. I love the two tone and who couldn't love not having to buy pricey batteries for the rest of it's life!!!
I looked at quite a few watches before I chose this one. I have " dressy" citizen watch but I wanted a larger faced watch for everyday. One I can see with just a glance. Exactly what I wanted.
I love this watch. It is very classy looking, very pretty face. I love the fact that I will not have to replace batteries. It is keeping exact time. Had to have the maximum number of links taken out since I have a very small wrist.
I initially bought a different model with the Eco-Drive, which I found too heavy. I exchanged it for this one, which I love. The weight is perfect, the double push-buttton closer is easy on the fingernails and the look is simple and classy, just what I wanted. My only gripe is the date window, which is a little crowded looking and not always easy to read. Other than that, PERFECTION!
I have owned Citizen eco drive watches for the past 10 years. They usually last 5 years before you need to replace.
