Like my other Citizen watch, the chronograph itself is fantastic. It has a good size and weight without being distracting, the timekeeping is flawless. The tick is completely silent, and despite the polish, the case is remarkably scratch resistant. The luminous hands and numbers light up a pale blue instead of the normal 'radioactive' green, so that was a pleasant surprise. The band adjusts much more finely than my other one, which is an improvement. The hole arrangement will adjust to fit someone with larger wrists far better than the top-selling green canvas band watch.

But also like my other Citizen, the band needs some work. It is comfortable to wear and adjusts finely enough, but the retaining loops keep slipping down, leaving the strap with the holes to flap around. The band is molded to the case contours, so it will be difficult to replace with a band that actually matches. While the luminous features are nice, it seems to go dim much faster (1-2 hours) than my other watch, which has the standard Tritium green hands and numbers and stays lit for 6+ hours.

This watch is much more about form than function. While it gets an A+ for form, the contoured shape and floppy band do not lend themselves to getting 100% marks for function. 4 out of 5 for the band.

I bought this watch some time ago and really like the design but there is one flaw. The band is rubber and while designed to look like the tread of a tire the little loops to slide the end of the band into break rather easily. I've had to super glue both of them back together about 5 times so far. It would be nice to have a metal band alternative that would fit the unique design of the watch face.

Otherwise it's a nice watch.

I've had the watch for about two months. I wear it every day and it's still un-scratched. I haven't had to think about the solar feature, it just works. The watch does seem to gain about 15 seconds a month -- I don't know if that's good or bad in a watch at this price. It's comfortable and I like the design.

I found this watch on Citizen's web site a few months ago, but none of the retailers I visited seemed to have one. My search was casual, if I was in a department store, I checked out the watch case. I know nothing about the watch business, but I can guess how it works. Someone makes a decision on the watches that make it to the case. It could be the store buyer or it could be the maker's marketing department. However it's done, this watch didn't make the cut and that's a shame. The good news is that I haven't seen it on anyone else's wrist.

Buying your watch online seems to be the way to go. The prices are lower and you get to the arbiter of your own taste, not some faceless store buyer.

Amazon's partner, Princeton Watches, delivered the watch in a timely manner and it arrived undamaged.

My bf loves it, and so do I! It's a nice looking watch, if you don't mind the strap. The material looks a little bit like a tire, but it goes together with the overall look of the watch. Accurate and lighted weight. Highly recommended!

I love the look of this watch, and the fact that it is solar-powered. Haven't seen anyone else with it - I like that it's a bit unique. It's just what I was looking for.

I buy this watch for my brother on christmas, he was so happy, it's a great watch, is beautifull, classic, and sport. All in one. the only thing is that is more small that what is look in te picture, but still is fine.

Watch is great! Not too big or too small. I wanted a watch that I could put on my wrist and forget about, and this is it. No batteries or daily setting. I get lots of compliments on it, especially the band.

My husband had mentioned his interest in the Eco-drive watch, so I purchased for a Christmas gift. Chose this style because he is active in sports and is generally casual. Purchase on Amazon was great - great price as I compared! Arrived in a few days in original box and nicely secured. The face is easy to see and doesn't have too many details. He is very happy with his gift and I was happy to have found it for him. I would recommend this purchase and business with the vendor.

This is a terrific watch (and watch band) ~ attractive, functional, and comfortable ~ at a reasonable price.

The luminous dial on this watch is unbelievable, and the fact that there is no battery about which to be concerned is a wonderful bonus.

I bought this watch on looks alone, I have never owned a Citizen, but I was not disappointed. I own several watches, from Hugo Boss,Gucci,Esq, but this Citizen is my favorite. You can wear it for any occasion. Highly recommended!
