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 Very Attractive Watch, February 28, 2008

This review is from: Citizen Men's BM6260-58L Eco-Drive Titanium Watch (Watch)

This watch is stylistically very appealing, simple yet elegant. It is fits my skinny wrist very well and the clasp is easy to open and close. It is very light in weight and doesn't pinch if it slides a little on the wrist.

Now for some minor complaints. The glass is highly reflective and the date is small so you may have to tilt the watch a little to be able to read the date. The color of the watch is COMPLETELY different from the picture. I was imagining a silver finish based on the pictures but in reality it is titanium grey. It is still very nice but it doesn't stand out as much if it was a shade lighter. In between the links on the wrist band, there are small, very shiny strips. I can already see these strips getting scratched and marred. The rest of the wrist band is matte so it doesn't show scrapes as much.

Overall I am very happy with this watch and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade from cheap, corner store watches but does not want to pay the exorbitant prices for Tag Heuer or Omega.

5.0 out of 5 stars Citizen Titanium Eco-Drive, March 7, 2009

Excellent product! I did have a bit of size shock when I first opened the box. It is somewhat smaller than the watch I was used to but after looking at it on my arm a day or two, I could not be happier. Titanium gray color is very attractive and the polished inlays really set it off. The stock picture doesn't do it justice. Easily the favorite in my watch drawer!

This Titanium Citizen Eco-Drive watch is great! and looks better than the picture showed.

The watch has nice features:
*Perpetual Calendar, so you will never have to worry about change the date on your watch. It will recognize leap years until 2100. The calendar setting up procedure is very easy.
*Titanium case and band: make you watch very strenght and light. You will never notice the watch on your wrist.
*Eco-Drive: a Citizen feature, so you will never have to buy a battery again. Just put the watch near any source of light (natural or artificial) to charge the solar cell. Once fully charged, expect up to 300 days of continuous operation.
*Low charge indicator: the watch will indicate you when the solar cell needs to be charged again.
*Safety buckle: locking clasp for watch bracelet in order to prevent accidental opening.
*Time difference correction: you can change time zone easily in 1 hour intervals.
*Overcharging Prevention.
*Power save mode.
*Water Resistant

The watch's crown is a bit tricky, you have to "unlock" it before setting up date or calendar. This is done by pressing straight downward the crown, then pull it out to first (date) or second position (time). After setting up, just put it in and turn clockwise to lock it again.
