Great, stylish watch, January 18, 2009
This review is from: Citizen Men's BM6550-58E Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
UPDATE (12/6/09): I noticed most reviews are made almost immediately after the purchase and before one has had some solid experience to report, so I thought I'd provide an update. I've had this watch for almost a year and I am still extremely happy with it. The BM6550-58E continues to keep good time and holds up well. I usually wear it several times a week, but also left it for a week or more without recharging with no noticeable effects.
My wife purchased an Eco-Drive lady's watch in the same timeframe and is also quite happy with it.

This review is for the BM6550-58E. I was looking for a stylish watch with stainless steel case and band that does not require battery changes. The watch is a simple analog dial with second hand and a date window. The hour and minute hands glow in the dark. As you'd expect, the time and date are set by the watch crown.
I purchased this watch specifically because of the Eco Drive feature. I wanted to have a timepiece that I could wear day to day without worrying that it would lose time or stop running because the battery needed to be replaced.
I've owned a Seiko Kinetic for about 10 years and when it started losing its capacity, learned while it needs no batteries, the capacitor which stores the electric charge and powers the watch needed to be replaced. So I thought I'd give Citizen's Eco Drive a try.
I've had this watch for about a month now, and so far so good. I wear it daily, and it seems to get sufficient charge from normal use (indoor office on weekdays, some outdoor sun on weekends). It's only gained a few seconds (by atomic clock) since I set it a month ago.

Very Nice Watch, July 30, 2008
This review is from: Citizen Men's BM6550-58E Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
I have had a Citizen Eco-Drive watch now for over 10 years and have loved it. No maintenance what so ever is nice. This was my second Eco-Drive I bought and think it is actually better than my first one. They are now a little lighter in weight than the old ones. Grade A watch at a cheap price!

Great watch!, May 8, 2011
This review is from: Citizen Men's BM6550-58E Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Watch (Watch)
Watch was very stylish, Once I own it for about 6 months I will update my review as I just got it 2 days ago, I bought my son the black version of this watch and I liked it so much I had to order the silver color for me. So far love it! Price was reasonable, Kohls had it for about the same price with discounts.
