I decided to buy myself a new watch when I received some extra money for the holidays and my old watch started losing time! I had been very interested in the eco-drive wathes b/c I thought the idea of no batteries EVER plus being eco-friendly was very cool. This watch is exactly what I expected and more. It came out of the box running the correct time and date, even my partner was impressed! I have had it a week and the time is always right on. The dial face is a beautiful dark blue that looks almost smoky in direct light. The band is sleek yet incredibly light weight. When I first put it on I was amazed at how light it was. My one complaint is that the band is VERY big for a womens watch, I had to have four links taken out before it even started to fit me, and you have to have this done by a jeweler as the pins are very sensitive and might break. Other than that this watch is incredible and more than worth the price paid! I love it!

I had a watch just like this one for 5 years. I lost it this summer and have been lost without it. I will be getting another this Christmas! Yipee! I LOVE THIS WATCH! The electricity in my body causes battery watches to short out...they don't last over 3 months. I wore this watch all the time; in the shower, pool, jacuzzi, beach. I painted in it, did yardwork in it, you name it, it held up to all the abuse and still looked new. The gold never wore off and the entire watch seemed to be scratch resistant. The only negative is the date window was/is too small to clearly read the date BUT if it were bigger it would take away from the beauty of the watch. It would be fine with me if they left it off. You WILL like this watch!

I am very happy with this watch. It looks very nice on the wrist and with my aging eyes the charcoal face make the number indicators easier to see than on a white face. I am very, very happy with my purchase.

I received this watch for Christmas...with some hinting! I am a Hospice Nurse and do a lot of traveling and handwashing. I had a citizens watch before that lastest me more than 8 years with the abuse I gave it. I ended up buying 3 cheaper watches in the last 5 years that didn't hold up. I wanted another citizens because of the quality and the longevity of the watch. This watch is absolutely beautiful. I can see the 2nd hand perfectly for taking vitals and it is classy enough to wear out on the town. It sparkles! I would recommend this watch for any women who needs something functional, tough, yet feminine.

I've owned mine for several years and continue to love it. Have gotten many compliments on how handsome it is, the face and the band. Lightweight, always runs perfectly on time, often lighted enough at night for me to read the time, band cleans easily but still looks good when I don't get around to cleaning it. If/when I ever need to replace it, I pray Citizens will still carry this model.

Finally...no more changing batteries!Nice design, I like the contrast on the black screen, and the fact that shows me the day of the month too. Although, you have to take care of it yourself at the end of the month, and change it if it a shorter month (30 days), because the watch shows you 31 days no matter what month...
Otherwise- elegant, precise, not too big, not too small.
Great purchase. And I had it for 2 years now!

I love my watch! I love the navy face and the fact that you don't have to change batteries which is better for the environment. I had originally ordered the one with the mother of pearl face which is what I wanted. But when I received it I realized it didn't have a second hand. No idea what I need one for, but I wanted a second hand, so ordered this one. It is slightly larger than I wanted, but can be worn casual or dressy and goes with everything.

I was expecting a more shiny silver part, its more like dull steel (the photo makes it look a lot shiner and brighter sliver, which it is not) but still a great watch with a simple look for a everyday use. The clasp is great bc it doesn't easily open.

I ordered this watch and was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was. Of course, like any watch I buy I had to have most of the links removed. I took it to a well known jewelry store and saw the same watch priced at $265.00. That jewelry store refused to remove the links because I did not purchase the watch from them so I went to a place in the mall and was charged $11.00 to have the links removed. Still quite a bargain all things considered. I have other Citizen Eco-Drive watches and it's great to never have to worry about the battery going dead. Especially when you are on vacation. I highly recommend buying this watch and I may just have to come back for another style. Great job Amazon.

My mother loves this.
I got an eco-drive myself a year ago and was very pleased with it....so I wanted her to have one too. It was a mothers's day gift. I find the safety clasp a tad annoying my other watch did not have that and really it did not need it.
But other than that allthe other reviews were spot on, watch face not too big and not too small, the dark background against the dial number marks looks good...the watch face does not look to cluttered.
I also love the watch band, love the placement of the gold tone pratically running down the centre makes it look elegant.
