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).

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!

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?)

This watch is absolutely PERFECT! It's readable, but not too large. The design is both feminine and classic. It's a "Citizen" ECO DRIVE model so it is energy efficient and never needs a battery! Sunlight or artificial light is all that is needed to power this watch. It also keeps excellent time.
The band is a little large so you may have to take it to a professional jeweler to have a link or two removed but that's not a problem. My local jeweler does this while you wait, at no charge.
This watch is quite stunning, although elegant at the same time. The diamonds are discrete but add a bit of bling to the design.
There are no 'negatives' to report which is the reason I'm giving this watch a five-star rating, with no hesitation.

I am extremely pleased with my Citizen Eco-Drive Women's Riva Diamond Watch. It is an AWESOME piece of jewelry!!! I did my research before purchasing this watch. I went to various stores in search of this exact model. Could not find it anywhere. Found models very similar but not the #EW0890-58D. By viewing similar models, I was able to see first hand the true quality of the Citizen Eco-Drive watch. I am not disappointed!!!! Thanks Amazon.com for the great deal as well!!

I got this watch as a early christmas present from my husband and it is fantastic. Its a great quaility watch and the fact that I can wear it all the time even in water is a real bonus when you have kids! Also the solar power technology is great, I'll never have to get another battery again that would run out in a couple of months. The diamonds make this sparkle so its prefect for wearing everywhere.

My wife will not take it off, she likes it so much. It is a beautiful watch and with my wife being 5' tall and petite it really looks nice on her wrist.

Purchased this watch as a Christmas gift for my wife. She wanted something nice but not too dressy. She loves it! There are just enough diamonds to make it stand out but not look gaudy and with the mother of pearl face it's easy to read. Great buy, 100% satisfied.

My daughter wanted this for her birthday and told me how great it would be as a gift while we were sitting in a restaurant celebrating the day before her birthday. While we were looking at it on my iPhone, I ordered it for her with next day delivery as her birthday gift. She got it and was ecstatic. How cool is that for timing?

I hesitated to buy a watch with diamonds, wondering if it would be too flashy to wear often. This little number is perfect. The diamonds are small, but add a very acceptable and noticable level of sparkle to the watch. It's perfect. While the band was long for me (yes, expected this), it took the jeweler so little time to take out links that she didn't even charge me for it. Manual, both printed and on-line, is very good. I am very pleased with my purchase and will post another review when I've had opportunity to have some idea of the longevity of the watch.
