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.

This review is from: Citizen Women's EP5834-55D Eco-Drive Serano Sport Diamond Accented Watch (Watch)

I've had this watch for a year now and love it. It is versatile enough that it is sporty enough for casual everyday wear while being classy-looking enough for dressier occasions (though I wouldn't wear with an evening gown, if I actually ever wore one).

While being two-tone, I would comment that the gold-tone is relatively subtle, it appears mostly silver-toned, so if you want a 50-50 gold to silver look, this is not the watch for you. The diamonds are just enough to give the watch some sparkle and jazz it up a bit, without making it look gawdy or too dressy for everyday wear. The mother-of-pearl face is really pretty and adds to the overall attractiveness. I am in a profession where I need to wear a water-resistant watch with second hand everyday. To be honest, I think watches are generally ugly unless they are high-end jewelry ones, and I looked at a TON of watches before settling on this one. I even like wearing this watch, and it easily pulls off that professional look I need.
Finally, I really like that this watch doesn't ever need winding or a new battery, it is solar powered.

The only reason I gave it four stars was because of the price. Although it seems to be in line with the competition for watches made by companies of Citizen's calibre (Citizen is widely-regarded for making quality watches), and was even over $100 less than a similar-looking model from Seiko that I didn't like quite as much, I think $400 for a stainless steel watch (sorry, a handful of mediocre diamonds don't add much value) is a lot of money. It almost seems like you should get a gold watch for that price.
