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.

Citizen Eco-Drive Men's Gold-Tone Leather Watch #BM8002-01P
The idea of a watch that never need a battery was appealing and environmentally correct. This watch was easy to set, just be sure to read the instructions first and don't set it between 9 PM and 4 AM. The case is nicely finished, the face is not quite as bright as pictured, and so the watch has a more refined and elegant look. The band is listed as a mens, but it is slightly smaller than a standard size watch band. My wrist is not large, and the band is skimpy. I will probably buy another band sometime. If you have a larger wrist, you will need to purchase another band for this watch. Overall it is an attractive low maintenance watch at a competitive price. Great for travel, as I never have to worry about the battery dying. A great fashion accessory for dressy casual wear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great watch with glow-in-the-dark hands, September 10, 2010

This is a smart looking, accurate timepiece. I needed a new dress watch and after reading numerous reviews, settled on this one. I am glad I did. The timepiece itself is quite handsome, and as I suspected from some of the photos (none of the descriptions or reviews I saw expressly noted this), it has luminescent or glow-in-the-dark hour and minute hands, a very welcome feature and one that I missed on my previous watch. So far it keeps very accurate time, and the Eco-Drive solar powered battery means I won't have to replace the power source every couple years. While some reviewers have complained that the watch band is flimsy, mine is actually quite thick and sturdy. I have no complaints whatever about this watch. To the contrary, I highly recommend it.

This is a handsome watch; good looking, compact and slim. In the month I have owned it, it has only lost two seconds--very accurate. Although I own other more expensive watches, this is easily my favorite. The band is shorter than most, but fits me just right.
Setting the watch initially, so that the day/date are in sync, was a bit tricky and not discussed in the instructions. I pass along this knowledge: Set the date/date in the morning hours. Roll the minute/hour hands forward until the day changes, THEN set all the time functions.
