I purchased this watch earlier this year and wear it daily. Has been great so far. I've washed it multiple times so the water resistant rating is accurate. I get many compliments on it since it's very unique. Super cool looking, but not very practical since the buttons are a bit difficult to navigate the options with. The lighting is a bit dim, as others have said. I hope they make a 2nd generation for this watch with some slight improvements. Super retro, my favorite watch of all time.
I have to agree with another review on here, though it is a beautiful watch, it did come with the incorrect packaging which might lead someone to think it's an eco-drive watch. In regard to the reply from Citizen on that review, this happened despite me having ordered directly from the site. On a more important note, the light function for the digital clock was either damaged in manufacturing/shipping or just not well designed. The light is set practically behind the screen and only a little light makes its way onto the face making reading the time in the dark nearly impossible. Other than the minor and major issue I have with my purchase, it's a pretty great little watch. I like that this particular one is more of a nod to star wars and less of a blatant tribute. It could easily pass as a normal watch to anyone who doesn't inspect it too closely or is unfamiliar with C-3PO's eyes. To anyone here with thick ol wrists, this might be one to avoid as it will look like you got it from a cereal box, pretty tiny, I'm thanking my ancestors for giving me such dainty wrists.
The Package states: "Powered by light. Any light. A watch that never needs a battery". That is not accurate. The watch is not powered by solar and NEEDS a battery. Also, the temperature sensor is influenced by my body temperature.
Citizen Response
Instructions for setting watch very complicated. Package/instructions say Eco-drive but watch is not solar powered.
I like the way it looks it’s a very handsome watch The only problem is the face is to small it could have been a little bigger
Awesome little time piece I did just pick it up for fun but it’s very light, slim and comfortable. Functions well as far as timer,thermometers and all that stuff…you know. So yeah I like it

I got this for my birthday back in December and I've loved it since the first time I wore it. I have another Citizen watch in gold but the Gold on this watch is gorgeous. I get compliments all the time. I love all the features on it. Dual Time, 12/24 hr clock, stopwatch, Calendar, and the Alarm. My only problem with this watch is that the lightbulb is very dim and doesn't really do a good job of lighting up the time at night. But other than that, this watch is worth getting. I've only had to reset the second hand once since I got it. It would be perfect if it were also Eco-Drive.
Thanks for beautiful watches im so happy to got them and I highly recommend them
Love this watch it's cool and retro and looks really different than other watches. The size is actually great, it's kinda unisex, in fact my girlfriend snagged it one day, and easy enough adjusted the size to fit her wrist.
