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.

this is the closest watch I could find that had an analog face with at least 4 numbers and did not need a battery per se. Only issue I have is the date is too tiney for me to see but at least i can see the time without thinking about it. I would have been slightly happier if it had indiglow to make it light up more at night but for the most part it is pretty luminous, on the whole I am quite happy with it.

I'm 25 and this is my first "big boy" watch purchase. After reading a few of the other reviews, I was a little disappointed that they said the face would not be white because that was something I really wanted. I purchased it anyway due to the fact that I would not need a battery and the price was just too good. When I received the watch I was definitely impressed with the size, weight, and clean look. The face wasn't white like the others said, but it still looks great and the color is now growing on me. It matches the color of the stainless steel bracelet really well. LOVE IT.

side note: I do not think the watch is too heavy.

I'm not sure how this watch received such negative reviews. I bought this watch as a Lightning Deal for $109 and was very impressed with the quality, size and weight. It's big and heavy but after wearing much lighter watches, this one is now my go-to. As other reviewers mentioned, the face is silver and not white. The hands, which are white and appear to glow at all hours of the day make it a bit difficult to see in light conditions. This however, makes the watch very useful in darker conditions.

I'm not sure how Amazon could offer this watch at such a great price because you'd have to spend twice as much to get a comparable Eco-Drive. For the technology, quality, and price, this is a no-brainer.
