The Citizen Story

The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be ""Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere"" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.

During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.

Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of ""world’s firsts"" is unmatched.

More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic value - gorgeous timepiece, February 22, 2004

By A Customer

This is a beautiful watch for a great value. Gorgeous bracelet, and deep blue faceplate. Crystal is nice and flat, reducing glare.
Feedback from chrono buttons nice and solid.

Minor qualms;
Topring does not rotate.
Chronograph only measures down to seconds - not 1/10 or 1/20 sec.

Bottom line - makes a great everyday sport watch, and looks great with any dress-type. Value is unbeatable.

I was looking for a watch that I could wear casually anytime and anywhere. I was not into all the complicated and cluttered watches. I also did not want something that looked too young, but at the same time, I didn't want to wear an extremley expensive watch and then be worried about breaking it.

I found everything I wanted in this watch. I recieved it as a gift from my father and have worn it everyday since. The watch is simply gorgeous and well organized. It keeps perfect time and the date is a great reminder too. This watch is fashionable and can be worn running from class to class, spending a day at the office, spending a night out on the town with friends, and even worn to fancy occasions like weddings.

The blue dial is actually a lot darker than in the picture, same can be said about the chain, but it still looks bold and classy. People will think you spent a fortune on this watch by how it looks, but its true value is unbeatable.

Considering you are paying for a Citizen that looks great, can be worn anywhere, and is super affordable, there is no reason to not own this watch. This would also make a great gift to a husband, boyfriend, or anyone who wants a fine looking, multi-purpose watch to add to their collection.

You can read my original review below. Unfortunately, during the past year I have had to replace the pins that attach the watch to the bracelet no fewer than ten times! This is clearly a design flaw. It's too bad, because I love the look of the watch and it works perfectly, but if it won't stay on your wrist, it can't really be called a wristwatch, can it? Stay away from this one.

Original review:

This is an excellent all-around watch. Elegant enough for the boardroom or that special evening out, and practical enough to take snorkeling or skiing. The luminous hands and hour markers are bright in the dark and the numbers on the chronograph dials are easy to read. The satin-finish bracelet strikes just the right balance visually and the whole watch feels substantial and well made. As for the price, let me say this: I took the watch to a local watch store to have the bracelet adjusted, because I'm too lazy to buy the tool and do it myself. The owner asked me where I had bought the watch and how much I had paid for it. When I told him, the poor man grimaced! Plus the watch arrived earlier than I expected! A great buy.
