About this product

Product Information

Enjoy the classic appeal of the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Watch. This environmentally friendly watch runs on solar power rather than a traditional battery. The stainless steel, PVD-coated, 42-millimeter case is strong enough to stand up to everyday nicks and scratches. The brown faux-leather band provides a traditional look. Quartz movements keep accurate time using a 12-hour analog display and a day and date window. This watch is water-resistant up to 330 feet and features luminescent hands.

    Only one possible issue for some.

    So far, no complaints about the accuracy, comfort, or build-quality of this watch. Only years of usage will better serve to evaluate this watch. HOWEVER for some, myself included, the watch is not very legible in low light. I usually buy watches with a high contrast between the face and the numbers and hands (e.g., black against white). Yes, under bright light, the contrast on this watch is excellent, but in low light, it becomes difficult. Because of this issue, I avoid wearing this watch in the evening or at night. So despite its many good qualities, if the time can't be read, it becomes useless. I wish they made the same watch with a white face and black numbers and hands.

  • Most critical review

    It's fine, but you can do better.

    Things I like about the Citizen Eco-Drive: - Large numbers are easy to read - Sturdy stainless steel casing that is not too heavy Things I dislike about the watch: - It cannot be read in the dark - The leather band is not very high quality and is too thick. I have bought three watches in the last year that were suggested to me by eBay. This is my least favorite of the three, but also the most expensive of the three.

  • A Great, Cheap Alternative to the Bell & Ross Vintage

    I bought this watch because it looked identification to the Bell & Ross Vintage that is worth 20 times as much. At less than a $100 this is a great value watch. Although the materials are not all high quality, it makes up for it with style. Definitely recommended for the price.

  • Nice watch with great looks

    To my eye, this watch is quite good looking for days when I want to do a bit of color coordinating with brown / tan / khaki colored suits or slacks at the office. The time numbers are bold and easy to read, with just enough color "splash" to provide a nice accent to my attire. The leather watch band seems to be sturdy and robust. Of course, it is great that the watch has Eco-Drive -- no batteries to worry about.

  • Great watch but large appearance

    These Citizen Eco-Drive watches are the best. They never need a battery and will charge up in any kinds light. And the hold their charge for a month or so while on total darkness! Don't be fooled by other name brands claiming solar powered. I have seen them stop working after one year. Citizen has the technology down with Eco-Drive. This design of this particular 42mm watch does have a large appearance on the wrist.

  • Black/Orange pilot's watch with dual-language day wheel

    Excellent timekeeping accuracy, stylish contrasting color indices against a matte black finish make this watch stand out. Easy to read dial and generates lots of positive comments from people. The strap gives it a classic touch and is comfortable after the first, stiff week. The dial numbers are orange yet glow blue in the dark. Another feature many do not know about is that the day dial has your choice of English (MON TUE WED...) or Spanish (LUN MAR MIER...) day abbreviations. Simply choose your language when setting the day, and when the crown is pushed it the watch will stay on that language. For the price, this watch can not be beat for the features and quality Citizen is known for. Photo: Citizen next to an almost $3000 Sinn pilot's watch

  • Citizen Eco Drive Watch

    Great product. Nice leather band and the orange highlight features really make it stand out. I have gotten several compliments on the design and craftsmanship

  • Watch is stylish but the hour/minute hands to do not glow during dark hours even after being displayed in the sunlight for an extended time.

    I was disappointed that the hand dials don't show up in darkness. I submitted the watch to sunlight over 24 hours and the hour/minute hands do not glow in darkness. This is a inconvenience because I am out most nights and need to be able to see what the time is.

  • Exceeds your expectations.

    In fact, the watch is even more beautiful than in the picture. The band is made of thick quality leather. And more importantly it is incredibly accurate.
