Amazon.com Product Description

Perfect for professional divers and avid swimmers alike, the Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Strap Diver Watch is both attractive and highly functional. This super water resistant watch withstands water depths up to 984 feet (300 M), so you can keep track of time on your deep-sea expeditions. Clear visual elements of the watch face include oversized, crisp white dot hour markers, large hour-and-minute hands, and an easy-to-read date window perched at the three o'clock. Continuing on the easily visible theme, the large bezel has a deep black background and a crisp white foreground of Arabic second indexes at 20, 30, 40, and 50 seconds, as well as stick second markers along the first quarter. This solar-powered Eco-Drive watch never needs a battery and remains charged for months at a time, even in the dark. The background of the watch face is a handsome black-and-gray waving pattern that complements the striated shape of the strong black rubber band. Other rugged features include a stainless steel case and bezel, fine mineral dial-window protection, and reliable Japanese-quartz movement. A handy buckle securely fastens the band of this must-have diver's timepiece.

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 purchased this watch for my wife and she loves it. We go kayaking weekly and she wanted a waterproof watch. She finds it easy to read/operate and we both love the eco-drive no battery features of the Citizen Watches. Buy this watch if you want the best womens sport watch available for your wife. You will not be disappointed.

This review is from: Citizen Women's EP6010-03E Eco-Drive Strap Diver Watch (Watch)

I bought this watch for my wife as she was looking for something that was casual in styling, durable enough for the rigors of gardening, and waterproof for those trips to the beach. Without a doubt, this watch met all three criteria.

Since giving the watch to my wife, it has become her "everyday" watch. So, in addition to wearing it for the purposes described above, she feels that it has the looks to also wear in more formal settings.

If there's a complaint - and this is very minor - it would be that the case of the watch is a bit thick. Although this is not a problem with respect to wearability, those with skinny wrists may find the watch to look a tad awkward on the arm. Again, this is a very minor detail and after wearing the watch a couple of days, my wife never mentioned it again.

Citizen has long been my first choice in watches as they have always been reliable and stylish. The Eco-Drive is a fantastic innovation as you do not need to worry about replacing a battery at an inopportune moment (as when you are in the middle of nowhere for a month). I bought the EP6010-03E Eco-Drive Dive Watch more for expedition use than scuba, so wanted a watch that was not too bulky for everyday wear. I have slender wrists (5.75 inches around) and also wear the face of the watch on the underside of my wrist to better facilitate watching the time while working with both hands in front of me, so small is better. This watch is almost perfect, but not quite. The diameter is perfect and the face easy to read (even without reading glasses if you are in the 50+ crowd). However the watch is unusually thick, about 0.5 inches, and that bothered me a bit at first. Now after wearing it for a month, it bothers me less, particularity since I can't find a comparable thinner watch that has all its other good features. One final small irritation is the strap that comes with the watch; it is really too long for my wrist (I have it on the second to last notch) but Citizen does not seem to offer any smaller options.
