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 Beautiful, December 29, 2007

This review is from: Citizen Women's EW0894-57D Eco-Drive Riva Diamond Accented Watch (Watch)

I love Citizen watches. I have had my other traditional battery watch since 1998 and nothing has gone wrong (except by my own doings.)

This watch is better looking in person than in pictures and the video. The pearl face is more iridescent. The gold on the band is more pronounced. The diamonds sparkle but are not glaring. It is enough to make it look like your every-day casual watch while also being somewhat dressed up.

The size is about medium to large for a woman's watch. When I first saw it in the case, I was a little hesitant on if it was a woman's or not. It is a lot more obvious it is a woman's when it is on; I have smallish wrists.

My watch came with a 6-year limited warranty but I don't think I will need to use it because the eco-drive is great. I have had no other problems with the other eco-drive I have owned for over 4 years.

If you like this watch in pictures and like some sparkle without being ostentatious, you will like this watch. If you are on the fence about buying it, you won't be once you have it on your wrist.

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost Makes the Grade, October 17, 2008

This review is from: Citizen Women's EW0894-57D Eco-Drive Riva Diamond Accented Watch (Watch)

I've spent the last 8 months trying to get the right watch for me, and this watch met all my criteria. It is really pretty, 2-toned to match my gold or silver jewelry, can be worn dressy to casual, has a second hand, the contrast between the numbers (representation in this case) and the MOP face was good, it glows in the dark, the added Citizen benefit of the Eco-drive--which I love the solar power, and the calender.
Let's be clear about the calender--you can't read it. It's so hard to see. I can read the Eco-drive on the face, which is very small and light font, easier. The box is small (which probably could have been taken care of with magnification), and the contrast behind the MOP face makes it a dark small box with something written on it.
As you can see, the watch still rates 4 stars for me because the other elements are great, and I am keeping and wearing the watch. But to not be able to read the calender, to me, is a design flaw that could have easily been rectified.
