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.

This review is from: Citizen Men's JV0030-19F Eco-Drive 20th Anniversary Aqualand Orange Imperial Dive Watch (Watch)

This is a great watch that looks great, is rugged and gets a lot of compliments. However, the paint on the metal scratches easily, so beware of rough or sharps surfaces. I do volunteer work in a museum and often have bumped it up against things, so it doesn't look as good as it did a month ago. It must be handled with kids gloves.

3.0 out of 5 stars My honest opinion, January 13, 2011

This review is from: Citizen Men's JV0030-19F Eco-Drive 20th Anniversary Aqualand Orange Imperial Dive Watch (Watch)

I just got my Citizen Eco-Drive 20th Anniversary Aqualand Orange watch, very happy to own one.
It is an amazing design and High-end quality. I was eager to jump in the ocean and try my new toy.
And I did it; I am an open water scuba diver and free diver so next morning I went for free diving (I live in Hawaii), just to enjoy my new watch.
So there was my first shock when I came back home and wanted to see my log.Nothing was registered and reading the manual on page 72 I learned:

" Conditions for Storing Log Data in Memory:
The log number and log data are stored in memory when the watch remains at a depth of more than 1m (4ft) for 3 minutes or more, or remains at a depth of more than 8m (27ft) for 1 minute or more."

Hello CITIZEN I can't stay at 27 ft depth or more, for more than 1 minute if I am free diving(maybe pro free divers). But I would appreciate to see my log.
However it is great watch for scuba diving I simply can't understand why so expensive watch can't be programmed for free diving as well, and how about downloading logs to your personal computer, we are in 2011 and I hope I'm not exaggerating with my opinions. I had one of previous models and I was able to download all data to PC.

For scuba I would give 5 stars but because of so bad program engineering the watch doesn't deserve more than 3 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars great dive watch, November 30, 2010

This review is from: Citizen Men's JV0030-19F Eco-Drive 20th Anniversary Aqualand Orange Imperial Dive Watch (Watch)

I love the bold look of this watch...so much so that I do wear it out and about, not only when I'm diving. I do use it when I dive, and so far, after two extended dive trips (over 10 dives each trip), the watch has functioned very well. The rubber band is very long which makes it easy to fit over a wetsuit, and the look of the watch gets a lot of attention. A great looking conversation piece. I've seen the other reviews which mention problems with the finish or the band, but I have had this watch for over a year and have not had any of those problems at all.
