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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this watch, January 13, 2008

This review is from: Citizen Men's BT0000-58L Eco-Drive Calibre 3100 Twin Date Watch (Watch)

this watch was a gift from my wife. it is an awesome time piece. it keeps precise time. it feels good on my wrist. and so far every where I go, I get compliments on it. It is just luxurious enough to go with any suit I own, and sporty enough to hang out with a pair of jeans. And looks great any where in between. I own a few other fancy watches and sport watches, and this is by far my favorite. And since I am at the age of needing reading glasses, with the large dial, hands and date, it is very easy to read. Setting the perpetual calendar was a bit confusing at first, but ended up being simple enough.

I hope to never have to, but I would buy another one if I had to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Watch... Great Fit, May 16, 2008

This review is from: Citizen Men's BT0000-58L Eco-Drive Calibre 3100 Twin Date Watch (Watch)

I had been on the market for a little while trying to find a nice casual/dressy watch. I was all over the place looking at Seiko, Bulova, and Invicta, as well as many other brands, but kept coming back to Citizen.

The look and feel of this watch is great. Just enough weight to it to be comfortable. The selling point for me on this watch was that the simple functions yet had the look of a complicated watch. Looks like a chronograph at a quick glance but only has the 24hr clock and the seconds on the small dials. The date Is nice and large and I am excited about the perpetual-calendar and not having to adjust the thing every time Feb roles around (i know, silly to think that it takes such little time to change the date on most watches, but this has just a cool factor to it).

The dial has a nice size to is.

Another plus on this watch was the band. Nice two tone look and a nice size as well. I am not a small guy and often have problems finding watches that are large enough without having to send them out or wait on extra links to arrive. The width is nice and comfortable which doesn't impede hand movement. The clasp is nice and easy to operate and feels pretty secure.

I can't wear watches where I work, or at least nice ones with the risk of being beaten to death and horribly scratched so the Eco-drive was a nice choice over one that was automatic. In order for me to have had an automatic watch, i would have had to purchase one of the watch winders that keep the thing running when i wasn't wearing it. With the eco drive, the watch has a pretty good shelf life as far as charge goes and can be left out on you dresser to absorb light and stay charged while not wearing it.

This review is from: Citizen Men's BT0000-58L Eco-Drive Calibre 3100 Twin Date Watch (Watch)

Let me just say, this watch looks fantastic!! Its true that the dial is more of a deep blue-gray than the brilliant blue as advertised in the picture, but believe me, it looks great. The texture of the dial face (not the the covering, the actual dial) is very nice.

A cool feature of this watch that is not mentioned elsewhere is that the hands light up in the dark, and little dots appear on the periphery of the dial face to mark the time. Don't worry that this watch "glows" and is like a beacon of light --- its not like that at all. You just have to look closely at the watch and then you can see the thin bars and dots glowing. I find it very useful.

In terms of comfort, I would say this is an average watch. Its kind of heavy but I like that. The dial face is also very large and showy, which I think is appealing but others might not.

My only problem with this watch is that the date is terribly difficult to set. Some complex sequence of pressing buttons A and B and turning the screw is supposed to set the date but I still can't do it. Setting the time, though, is a breeze.

Overall, I would highly recommend this watch. It looks far more expensive than it actually is, so the price is very good. Plus, the dial face has a nice balance between functionality and complexity.
