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.

Very timeless design (band is similar to a classic oyster Rolex) that you will never have to worry about looking dated. Pool/snorkel, work and play attire friendly too! And, best yet, NO BATTERIES NEEDED! Sun or artifical light is all that is needed to keep this watch running. Comes in polished stainless steel (pic makes it look brushed only, which it is NOT, its polished and brushed links) or in a two-toned gold/silver finish. The 24 bezel Diamonds add just enough twinkle as not to be so gaudy as to be mistaken for crystals v. diamonds. Diamonds markers on the 12,3,6,9 positions of the face or slightly larger diamonds on the bezel would have made this a 10 instead of a 9 in my book though. For your smaller wristed gals (like me) who dont like large/oversized/manish diameter watch faces, this one is perfect (think of a quarter sitting on your wrist).

This review is from: Citizen Women's EW0890-58D Eco-Drive Riva Diamond Accented Watch (Watch)

I bought 2 watches from ebay with ''Authenticity Guaranteed''. Both turned out to be 100% Counterfeit. Of cause I reported it to both ebay, Paypal and [...] Though, I liked the Model and had a pink one from before so I did some more research and found this one, ordered it and it got sent out very quickly. Unfortunately, USPS kept it ''in transit'' in Houston without delivering it for almost 3 days. It arrived in perfect condition and complete with Watch box, instruction manual, warranty and watch tag. It is very pretty and the Mother-of-Pearl dial has a very nice shimmer effect. Only thing I had to do was to resize it which is quite simple with a sturdy straight binder, little hammer and a holder to keep the bracelet straight. Look for the arrows inside the bracelet for which way to push the pins out. Put them in again after reducing the size the opposite way and make sure the pin ''lock'' in place. the ends are different so check so you get it correct. A good deal and buy I am very satisfied with!

5.0 out of 5 stars Citizen Eco-Drive Riva -- Just Fancy Enough, July 30, 2008

This review is from: Citizen Women's EW0890-58D Eco-Drive Riva Diamond Accented Watch (Watch)

I've had this watch for about a month, and so far it's keeping perfect time, despite the fact that I sometimes leave it in a drawer away from the light for a day or more. It's very attractive: the diamonds around the bezel, tiny though they are, give the face some pizzazz, but are not overwhelming. The watch fits in both at work and for more formal settings.
Pros: Attractive mother-of-pearl face, diamond bezel, both satin finish & shiny silver links on band make it more interesting than it appears in the picture, and of course eco-drive!
Cons: A bit heavier than I expected (case is pretty thick), if you're looking for individually discernible diamonds you'll be disappointed, window for date is so small as to be mostly unreadable (but who really uses a watch to find out what date it is anyway?)
