I've had my watch for years and it is still ticking!! I love the idea that it does not require a battery. It seemed like I was always replacing batteries in my other watches. Inevitably I'd put on a watch and it was dead because of the battery. Then it would take me awhile to go get the battery replaced.

I cannot speak to the long-term reliability and performance of this item because I just received it as a gift for a family member although I've heard nothing but good things about the Citizen Eco-Drive series from others who own one. I'm writing this review just after receiving the watch because previous reviews stated that the band was not brown and I disagree. This band is a beautiful mahogany brown with darker chocolate brown accents. It is exactly what I expected. In addition, the watch started running as soon as I took the lid off of the box to inspect it and it is charging off of a very low wattage desk lamp, which I think will make the recipient very happy since their main complaint was having to replace watch batteries.

The size of this device as depicted in Amazon's images is accurate and the face has a very nice mother of pearl sheen to it. In addition, the hands and hour marks on the watch face are much easier to read than the Amazon images appear and they sparkle in the light, making it easy to see the time at a glance.

Very tasteful and ecological. Looks like a typical Citizen's watch. I have a narrow wrist so it looks good on it, but the band is long and the first clasp hole makes the strap too loose. The band widens after that, so another cannot be made.

This watch started running the second it saw light and hasn't skipped a beat since. It's very slim and I love the cordovan leather band. All in all, it's perfect. I would buy another eco-drive watch if I needed another. But my guess is this one will last me a long, long time.

You cannot beat the looks and dependability of this great looking watch for the money. My wife bought me one for a birthday present 18 months ago, and I have worn it every single day without changing off. I went and ordered another one cause I like it so much. The original one needs a new strap, and they are rather pricey and I do like the look so I just ordered a spare cause honestly, It's the greatest watch I've ever owned. I have about a dozen watches and this one surpasses them all.

Very stylish watch for the wife. She loves it and it looks very elegant on her wrist.

My wife saw this watch at some department store, so I got it for her here at a lower price. Since she's only had it for a few weeks, I can't comment on how long the rechargeable power source will last. She gives it two thumbs up. I only wish original replacement leather straps can purchased somewhere.

I have the same watch in black, and love both the style and flexibilty of not have to worry about a battery. It's very attractive, and works with both casual and dress-up.

After one month, the watch wouldn't hold a charge for more than an hour. Am trying to return for a refund. NOT an eco-friendly product.

im 24 years old, it looks little bit old fasion on my wrist....i prefer the black one, but it is inconvinent to change it, so just keep it...it's small, without ticking sound, silent watch, i like that
