Reviews
Love this watch. Simple, easy to read, nothing wasted on extras. Size is perfect to stay out of the way as you work while wearing. Day calendar stays accurate without having to constantly adjust each depending on setting. Cons: my only real issue is the band. The size holes are gaped with robust rivets. This creates significant sizing changes which each adjustment and I’m in between sizes. Small concern is that the luminescence on the numbers can fade and become difficult to read at night. Would buy again! Would recommend for a great working watch.
Great Weekend Watch! Looks ruggedly stylish with a military influence. Definitely a must have. I highly recommend this watch. Well worth the price!
My watch size 37mm to 40mm for my wrist size. This watch is much nicer than the photos. I but a black leather band on it. Looks sharp. Works great on the time.
Love the look of this watch, the only thing I changed was the strap. I put on an orange crown and caliber and it has been a great summer watch.
Smaller face than I expected. But the watch is slick and fits every occasion. Keeps time perfectly and I love the look.
This watch is perfect. I’m a smaller framed guy with small wrists. This watch is great it’s not big or too small it checks all the boxes for durability and sustainability. I’m coming from 7 years of Apple Watches and this is my first REAL watch and I honestly say I’ll never go back to touch watches.
I was looking for an all-around watch that had a day/date function and would hold up to the elements. I have gone through multiple watches, a Hamilton Khaki, a Victorinox Maverick, a Seiko field watch and a Fossil watch. I finally stumbled upon this Citizen Chandler field watch and what a great piece of workmanship. I use heavy equipment that vibrates my hands and arms and all the other watches I mentioned were a bit on the heavy side. The Citizen Chandler is perfect. Lightweight and comfortable, this watch has stood up to all the vibrations from the equipment, has been through the mud, the rocks, the heat, humidity, and all that the weather can throw at it and it still performs and looks great. I can’t think of a more perfect watch! It is very easy to read and the lume is amazing at night; lasting until daylight. Forget all the smartwatches with all their bells and whistles along with constant charging. No battery needed here, just a light source. You will not be disappointed in this watch.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I am small-average build for a woman and this fits perfect! Not too dainty, yet not the normal oversized man watch face, but comes with a durable military-style band. The watch is sleek enough thy it could also be dressed up with a metal band too! My husband has had a similar Eco-drive military-style watch for nearly a decade now, so I knew, if it looked okay on my wrist (size-wise) it’s be a keeper!

Perfect size, beautiful yet simple finish. Over night lume, very legible all around. Reliable, accurate, and solar. Can't beat that, plus great customer service by the Citizen team. Well done, thank you team.
I first bought this watch in 2008 and have worn it every day for the last twelve years without it ever missing a beat and it still looks great and works perfectly. I've never been a fan of the band but this watch goes from formal to casual with a band change. If I had one thing to change, it would be to have the hands a bit longer. This is the third one I've bought, this time for a good friend. Just a great everyday watch and the perfect size so you don't have to wear a manhole cover on your wrist like most men's watches these days.
I love this watch I will confess that I sleep with every night
What a great watch, purchased to have an everyday watch. Its built beautifully, the case and strap are sturdy and comfortable. This makes 3 eco drive watches i own now, and it's definitely my new favorite.
This watch has seen many changes in my life. I purchased it on my first overseas deployment with the military... 20 years and a family later, I still love this watch. The original band is long gone (I literally wore it out), but the watch never fails to keep time and the date. If you're wanting something simple and timeless, you've found it.... and yes, it still glows! I do miss the drab green band.
This is an excellent all-around wristwatch: solar powered, accurate, and good-looking it can serve as a "field" watch, or with an upgraded strap it definitely dresses up well. It's better looking in person than in a photo, with good proportions. The mix of brushed and polished surfaces works well, the red sweep-second hand stands out, the lume is useful, and the water resistance fills out the features list. All in all, this is a classic: it could be your only watch.
High accuracy in keeping time and hands and markers after exposure to light last all night glowing
This beauty did not disappoint! Simple, functional, classic appearance, what more could you want from an everyday watch? Very satisfied with the Eco-Drive as well. Not a huge fan of my other mechanical watch batteries dying in storage.
I have worn this watch For several years now. I was looking for a good everyday field watch style, I was tired of always changing batteries, and this was perfect. The strap was a little too small for my wrists so put it on a nato strap which looks great.
I bought this because it has a classic look. I had been searching for an affordable time keeper, that could become a collectors item. It can compete with a Rolex and two Rolex wears reccomend it to me. I took a look, and I wasn't disappointed at all. I am taking to get it serviced water tested, crystal polished and a band change.
I've been wearing this for at least 5 years now. It's comfy, slim but thick enough to feel good, easy to read, perfect blend of stand-out and blend-in. I've received so many compliments on this watch, "I don't even wear watches and I like that". It just keeps getting better with age, even after the dives I've taken it on. Timeless piece and never needs batteries!
I changed the band with a 550 chord military style one
Comfortable, great looking, no hassle watch. It's comfortable to wear and is a beautiful timepiece. The Eco-Drive makes this watch a great value.
My wife surprised me with this watch for Christmas, and to be honest, I was really hoping she would get me an apple watch. After wearing this beauty for the past month, I haven't even thought about wanting an apple watch. Weird, I know, but it's the truth. This has style and simplicity that is unmatched. I did end up swapping out the band for a silicone band so I could wear it in the water and not have a soggy band. The stock band is nice, and will probably switch it back and forth depending on the occasion.
I bought my watch a few months ago. I wanted a simple face with Eco drive. The watch has been very accurate. I wear it every day and it shows no signs of wear.

This is my second Citizen Eco-Drive watch. I was looking for another one that could serve as an outdoor/everyday watch and I have come to discover field watches. The face is easy to read, even when viewed at an angle, with a nice contrast of white arabic numerals on the black face. The day/date window is likewise easy to read. The watch feels substantial without feeling too heavy. The Eco-Drive solar power is a great feature. The lume on the hands and numerals is also quality, as it lasts though the night to the morning hours. An area for improvement would be the band, as it is stiff and the spacing of the holes on the band leave it just a little too loose or a little too tight. I may switch out to a different band in the future. Overall I am happy with this purchase and I trust that this watch should last for years as my other Citizen has lasted many years.

Super happy with this watch except the glowy stuff on mine does not work that well, at least compared to some videos I watched.
Female. 30 yo. This watch fits me perfectly, even though it's marketed for men. The design is so much more usable than any ladies watch, and the face is even smaller than some of the women's style eco-drives that Citizen makes. It's got a beautiful military style, and if you change up the band, it could look pretty sleek! As some other reviewers noted, the "eyelet" design around the band that's used to close/latch the clasp of the watch can be hit or miss. It fit my wrist perfectly, by chance. I can close it to the third hole from the actual time piece, about 6.5 inches. I would recommend searching online for an alternate band style, at 18mm, which is easy enough, I would think.

Great Father’s Day gift!!
bought two of the Garrison‘s when they were on sale my dad absolutely loved it and of course, so do I. what a great everyday watch. I am a firefighter and I’m usually pretty hard on them so I will see how this one stands It’s test of time.
Solid little field watch
I have a 7 inch wrist and this is a little on the small size…which is exactly what I was looking for. It is lightweight and comfortable. Sometimes I forget I’m wearing it. The strap it came with is ok, but I opted for a quick disconnect strap. Light brown leather looks awesome on these.
BF Gift
Bought the watch for my boyfriend’s birthday. He loves it!
Great buy
Purchase was simple - delivered on time. Watch is comfortable and never needs to be wound, no battery. Love it! Have gotten several positive comments already. It's simply designed yet stylish and worth every penny!
Citizen Garrison
Nice every day watch. I immediately swap the nato strap for a leather strap for a more upscale casual look.
Comfy, works well, looks good
Was tired of my amazon watches breaking after a week. Had this one a few weeks and it does really well. Even swam yesterday in the lake and it still ticks, stayed waterproof, ive bumped it on things and no scratches. Only gripes I have is the sizing on the wristband. I am perfectly in between two sizes so since I don't want to cut off circulation in my wrist I have to have it a little looser so it moves around a little but overall pretty great
Great Daily Watch
Great everyday watch, it’s my first eco-drive watch and I’m very pleased with it. I immediately changed the nato strap for a brown strap and it looks amazing. Also it’s very light on the wrist.
Still Ticking
Grandpa bought me this watch ~10 years ago, still ticking today.
Nice Timepiece!!!
This is a great timepiece that looks just like a World War 2 Officers field watch. However it is powered by light which makes it superior to the original. This is just as nice as more expensive versions and I highly recommend it.
Love This Watch
I love this watch. Its the perfect size for everyday use. It has a simple rugged elegance with a military influence but can be used on weekends running errands or casual events. This is one of my go-to's.
