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.

Good Watch, Bad Watch Band,
This review is from: Citizen Men's BM8290-05E Eco-Drive Titanium Watch (Watch)
I bought this watch about 2.5 years ago. The watch keeps excellent time and has been solid. However, I am on my second band for this watch. The rubber band just does not hold up. I use it alot in and around water maybe this has something to do with it. For a tight budget this is a good watch, however I would spend a little more for another Citizen watch with a Stainless watch band. The way this watch is designed you need the Citizen Band. It does not look right with an off the shelf band. By the way the bands only cost around 32.00. However if you do the math and get a watch with a good band up front you will come out ahead.

Working well after 3 months, Affordable - Light Weight,
By Anonymous (New York USA) - See all my reviews I found a great price on the 180 WR100 ($125 shipped) and decided to take a chance. I'm not a diver but I do like water sports and the 100M limit seemed sufficient for my needs. Out of the box, the watch was running, I had a bit of a time setting the weekday and date functions, they are in french and in english. Yes, you could have the days of the week come up in french if you like. The watch has been running for about 3 months now and has been problem free and accurate in and out of the water. I like the fact that it's very light weight. I own a stainless steel watch and the weight difference is very noticable. Something I didn't consider initially but am glad about. There aren't a lot of bells and whistles to this watch, no rotating bezel, no indiglow... I say all the better. Keep it simple, less things to break. I have high hopes for the durability of the eco-drive. My last watch failed after a battery change. Supposidly there's no reason to open the back of this watch. No reason to break the waterproof seal. So, after having owned the 180 WR100 a short while, I have to say, "so far so great".

My Eco-Drive experience..,
By
This review is from: Citizen Men's BM8290-05E Eco-Drive Titanium Watch (Watch)
I have four Citizen Eco-Drive watches: two titanium, a Skyhawk and a Perpetual Calendar, a 300M Professional Diver, and a Calibre 6000 dress watch; listed from oldest (4 years) to newest (3 days). I have never had a single moment's problem from any of the older watches (the Perpetual Calendar is a year old). I've recommended them to friends and coworkers, and have had several buy them (and thank me afterward).
The advantage of not having to replace batteries every year or two is just a bonus to these watches. They are very accurate and very attractive. I like to joke that if the sun were to die tomorrow, and all life on Earth with it, my Skyhawk would still be keeping time for 9 months.. :-) I highly recommend these watches.
