Eco-Drive \| Purposeful Power The sustainable way to power your watch—no batteries required. Citizen's proprietary Eco-Drive technology powers your watch using the most renewable energy: light.	Light to Energy Uses a renewable natural resource by converting any natural or artificial light to energy, which is then stored in a permanently rechargeable lithium-ion cell.	Energy Storage Keeps surplus energy in a rechargeable power cell. Designed to charge not just from the sun, but also from everyday light sources like indoor fluorescents and desk lamps.	Recharges Continuously Runs for months—even in darkness—with no need for regular battery replacement, so your watch can run forever and you never have to worry about it stopping.


Read the time no matter where you are with hands and markers that glow in the dark.	Use during swimming and snorkeling at up to 333 feet (100m).	A winding crown screws tightly into the case to prevent water and dust from entering.

Product description

This stylish Citizen men’s Chandler watch is ideal for an active lifestyle. For a rugged look and a comfortable fit, Citizen military watches fit the bill, with a day-date indicator, luminous hands, a 37-mm screw-back case, and 100M WR. The black dial provides a backdrop for simple Arabic numerals and is housed in a stainless-steel case along with a woven green strap with patterned stitching and a buckle clasp. Our watches for men feature Eco-Drive technology—powered by light, any light—meaning our watches never need new batteries. The perfect choice for an adventure, this timepiece is in it for the long haul. For more than forty years, Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology has served as the prime example of how the brand is dedicated to the world and to making its environment a better place. A simple yet revolutionary concept, Eco-Drive harnesses the power of light from any natural or artificial light source and converts it into energy, eliminating the need for battery replacement, by using renewable energy to keep Citizen Eco-Drive watches for men running forever. For over 100 years, Citizen, a pioneer in watchmaking and innovative technology, has promoted excellence and creativity with a deep-rooted respect for craftsmanship.

You will never run late with this men's sporty, Eco-Drive timepiece. From the stainless steel case, green canvas strap and 12/24 hour time indicator, the bold details never end. Additional features include a day/date indicator and water resistance to 100 meters.

To set the time *(refer to full-setting instructions here: Manual ):

Stop the second hand by pulling the crown out to the 2nd click (time setting position).
Turn the crown to set the time.
The watch will start after the crown is firmly pushed back into its normal position

To set the Calendar*:

Pull the crown out to the first click (calendar setting position).
Set the desired date by turning the crown counterclockwise.
Set the desired day of the week by turning the crown clockwise.
After you have set the calendar, be sure to press the crown back to its normal position

*Do not adjust the calendar when the watch is reading between 9:00 pm and 4:00 am, otherwise the movement may become damaged and the calendar may not change correctly

Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring.

As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities.

One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch.

The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time.

CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy.

I'd have included a photo but the Citizen customer service department has retained it after not honoring a return under warranty.
There isn't much to say about the watch other than in less than two years of everyday use, the only item that didn't show deterioration was the Eco-drive battery. The winding wheel finally broke and a jeweler was incapable of fixing it without a costly replacement part.
Attempting to redeem the warranty, I sent the broken watch to the Torrance, CA service center and was met with a string of indifferent and ultimately useless responses. The final offer to retain my business as a Citizen watch owner was a bill for $100. The watch retails new for $125.
As with so many case studies in customer retention, it's rarely about the definable monetary compensation. The attitude that a brand stands for so little is echoed in every industry. The adage of 'they don't make them like they used to' is so profoundly accurate, it doesn't bear a critique of the product. Ultimately, the watch broke and several parts needed repair in less than half the time of a warranty. Wouldn't that bother any craftsman?
If a warranty is as useless as words are in a promise, I can see no other alternative than Amazon delisting the product.
I will be making my new watch purchase elsewhere for sure.

initial impressions

- Light weight, doesn't feel bulky or huge on the wrist. I can hardly notice it's there at times when I’m wearing it.

- Classic utilitarian design with the olive green strap, has a clean minimalistic dial and straight to the point-day/date complication. There’s no extra fuss or unnecessary bling on this watch. Which I personally like, gives it a very classy understatement. Also makes it a very wearable watch with a-lot different outfits and situations.

-Lume is decent and legible but not exactly the best. For the price you really can’t complain. I usually shine it with my 300 lumen flashlight for a couple of seconds before going to bed and it seems to do the trick, gives off a nice shine in the dark!

-Strap is a bit stiff at first, but I can feel it breaking in and becoming more flexible after just the very first week of wearing it, so this shouldn’t be much of an issue in the long run.

-The Japanese Quartz movement is reliable and a practical enough for my time keeping needs. I’m not some NASA scientist at JPL who needs atomic timekeeping down to the very planck-time, I’m just your average joe.

-The fact that I don’t need to worry about changing batteries is what really sold me on the watch, second besides the design of course. This idea of having a perpetual running watch on my wrist powered by light is not only practical but also adds a very cool factor to the watch .

Overall I’m pleased that I made the decision to purchase the watch. Probably one of the best field watches you can buy for the money at this price point. I’m planning on using it as my daily driver for the long haul and I’m sure it will hold up to whatever I throw at it. Lets see how she does!

The perfect balance - once you ditch the strap

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

I’ve worn my 8180 most days for a year now, and as a simple, reliable chronograph-style watch it has been great value for money. It’s perhaps the cheapest Eco-Drive watch, yet Citizen’s solar technology has worked just as advertised. The thing runs happily on ambient indoor light and doesn’t stop if you take it off and chuck it in a drawer for a week.

This is a small watch - small enough not to look outsized on a small-medium wrist. (Note: I only began wearing a watch again three years ago after 15 years of not bothering, so I missed the whole huge-face trend.) At 37mm this seems nicely sized for my wrist, and at 9.5mm it’s not ridiculously thick. It’s also light, yet it feels very solid.

The face style strikes a nice balance: casual enough not to seem fussy, formal enough to wear in any business context. It has overtones of a pilot’s watch, notably with the triangle marker at 12 o’clock (inverted, compared to most such watches). But the skeleton hands give it a lightness lacking in some aviator designs. The face characters are clear and modern, and the elaboration of the outer 0-60 markers keeps it from seeming too plain. I would happily wear a normal pilot’s watch with a suit, but the 8180 seems particularly right for business wear.

… That is, as long as you change out the strap. The supplied military-style grey-green woven strap is short, ugly and widely detested. I can’t tell you whether it’s comfortable, as I replaced it immediately with a band better matched to the watch’s appearance. The 8180 looks classy with any leather band, but my daughter gave me a wonderfully comfortable tan leather Fluco Vigo riveted cuff which shows off the watch at its best.

The solar cell in the face powers a quartz movement which for me runs a second or so a week fast - not enough to care. I don’t swim in it. The movement is effectively silent.

Quibbles echoed in other reviews:
- The luminous glow-in-the-dark coating on hands and numbers is weak and fades quickly. Does this matter? These days phones sort out the middle-of-the-night problem.
- The flat mineral crystal window hasn’t yet attracted obvious scratches, but it has a few micro-scratches which I noticed when I looked at my own close-up watch photography. Over time this problem could worsen. Would anyone really expect sapphire glass at this price?
- The date is unreadable in many lighting conditions, mostly because it is unusually deeply recessed. Apparently the solar photovoltaic layer on the watch face makes this hard to avoid. The broad hands regularly obscure the date too.

My idiosyncratic quibbles:
- At a quick glance the white day-date window can very occasionally resemble an extra hand, forcing you to look again.
- Citizen’s typeface choice is a magazine-style face similar to Franklin Gothic, and not quite to my taste on a watch. Most people won’t care or even notice, and the numbers are very readable.
- BM8180-03E? Citizen, who names these things?

If you want something similar to the 8180 but chunkier, Citizen’s equally poetically-named AT0200-05E may fit the bill and has chronograph functions for a little more money. Should you want a little more elegance in a still affordable watch, Seiko’s Kinetic SRN051P1 is much thicker (14.5mm) than this Citizen but also runs on sunlight, is not that much more expensive and comes with a nice leather strap. And if the Citizen brand is too downmarket for you, IWC will sell you its Mark XVIII Pilot’s Watch for $5000 or so - but that watch will stop if you take it off for a couple of days.

The 8180 has almost everything I want in a watch and almost nothing I don’t, for very little money. A colleague’s Eco-Drive was still going strong well past the 15-year mark. I’ll be very happy to have mine do the same.

Wonderful watch, & suitable for years of use. I live a VERY active life: hiking trails through states, climbing, snorkeling & diving, working with knives & cutlery, mechanic bays, etc. Quite varied & this watch has taken all of the abuse. Excellent craftsmanship by Citizen. With all of the abuse I gave this watch in my 20's, only some scratches on the Quartz face tell the story. The band is just about disintegrated (after 4 years of full use). Overall, this is definitely a watch I would wear in the field, & in casual environments. I additionally like the option of Spanish days for the day calendar. A sound Timekeeper.

Love this watch

Reviewed in Canada on December 13, 2016

Bought this for myself about a year ago, after trying one of those 'smart watches', and I'm very happy that I bought this Citizen. First of all, after trying a 'smart watch' (not Apple) I was really frustrated with the user interface, and it's functionality. I went back to the old adage, KISS, keep it simple stupid.
Function must follow form. This watch is simple, it shows the time in the old analogue way of 'Big hand- small hand', no need to wind up or change a battery by popping open the back of the watch, it really glows in the dark to give an indication of time, and it is really easy to set the time,day and month. My only little pet peeve is the width of the wrist band that comes with the watch, it seems it is made for a child, I would prefer a wider band. Oh yes, I almost forgot, this watch is very, very accurate, once set - then forget. Only caveat, you need to adjust for the short months.

Llego un poco tarde por que amazon se tardo en enviarlo.
Funciona a la perfeccion y con un precio excelente.
No lo recomiendo para muñecas muy grandes por que es un poco pequeño.
El unico defecto que le he visto es que la correa tiene agujeros muy grandes y por esa razón queda muy ajustada o muy floja

Im not going to say anything about the strap becuase I immidietly put on a green NATO strap. I've had this watch for years now, and I thought Id review it. This watch keeps excellent time, and itholds its charge for a very long time. My only complaints are that the lume is a little dull, but putting a light up to it can help bring it back up. Also the high polish finish does pick up scratches: the glass does too but I'd say that's pretty normal for any watch.
