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.

I just picked this watch up after realizing I didn't want to wear my Tag watch everyday... go figure. I got this watch because it fits in with my job, military pilot... after comparing all the other similar watches on the market I chose this one. It's comfortable, stong, and it looks great. The coolest feature is the ECO Drive... it's got a battery meter on the dial to show how much charge you have. It's pretty cool when you take the watch out of the case if you put it away for a while it goes into some sort of power saving mode when it's in pitch black and when the light hits it again the dials spin around to catch up to the current time... kinda cool and it lets you know this is really a high tech time piece! The other features on it take a little while to get used to. I love the time zone features and that this has the look of an analog watch with all the features of a digital watch. Haven't had a chance to use the bezel yet... more of a novelty than anything else I think... however it gives the watch a unique look and distinguishes it from a lot of other watches... if you're comparing it to other watches like it, with the bezels and all. I would definately go for this one. I picked black because it's a little different than my other watches and because I prefered a black watch in what I wear to work. Just pick what color you like best, there's a few different looks to choose from. The black is really good looking though. It's got the competition beat in features, value, appearance, comfort... you name it, this watch is best in class! You won't be disappointed!

This review is from: Citizen Men's JR3155-54E Eco-Drive Black Ion-Plated Skyhawk Watch (Watch)

I replaced my old (10 years) Citizen Skyhawk watch with this one. I had to replace the battery every 3 years or so. The last time, the watch shop screwed it up. So, I was familiar with the way this watch works. It does not have a light (niether did th old one) so it's tough to see the digital portion at night or in a darkend area. If you are a pilot, or in the aviation industry and use UTC time, this watch comes in very handy as there is a dial on the face that tracks UTC time. It's slightly heavier than the older versions, but I figure that's due to the Eco-Drive. Overall, I am very pleased with it.

My brother and sister in-law bought this watch for me. I had mentioned to them that I was looking for a sporty time piece and what I was shown was way out of my price range. Having the great brother and sister in-law that I do they surprised me with it for my birthday. The features are just incredible. Once you figure out the bezel tools you can pretty much calculate any aviation problem you might have. The looks of this watch are perfect for casual or dress up. Being retired military I still enjoy playing around with the different time zone features. Had I had this watch while in the military it would have helped out greatly. I recommend this watch to everyone that is looking for a sporty yet nice looking watch. The eco drive is a great plus also. I can't thank my brother and sister in-law enough for getting me such a great present. This will be with me for a very long time. Thanks again Dan and Amy I love it.
