 Very nice watch November 26, 2005

I ordered this watch from Amazon and it arrived before the estimated delivery date. I love the watch, and it looks much better in person than in pictures on the web. Quality is very good and the hands line up perfectly. The luminova is evenly applied and lasts longer, actually all the way through the night, which I didn't think would be the case. The only feature I don't like is the canvas band, which I found uncomfortable. I'm sure it's fine for others, but still a black leather band for less than (...)(any jewelry store or online store) compliments the watch very well, and it no longer looks like a 'weekend watch'. One small point about the Eco-drive that some other reviews I've read overlooked: Citizen Eco-drive models DO have a battery. The solar cell stores energy in a rechargeable mangenese-titanium battery. The battery should last a very long time according to Citizen engineers who project that even after 20 years the battery should retain 80% of recharge capacity (on their website), but only time will tell... no pun intended. Speaking of time, the watch is pretty accurate. I've had the watch for one month and during that time it has lost less than one second when compared to the US national time (www.nist.gov). In sum: this is a very well constructed watch that I feel is worth the money.
Another fine Citizen Eco-Drive June 28, 2005

This watch is for your days off. The mineral crystal and the water resistant features ensure this.
The band is crafted of a military style nylon khaki with riveted type holes for adjusting the band to accommodate your wrist. Inexpensive but finely crafted. Instead of buying the Timex look hard at this watch because it has a better movement and it doesn't require a battery! Large numbers enhance the dial with luminous hands. The day and date are also displayed in English and Spanish.
A five year warranty on the movement (only) gives your peace of mind. A must have for those leisure days.
very nice watch September 22, 2005

I just got this item a few weeks ago, but I already think that it's one of the best watches out there. There's a lot of good things to say about this watch, some are:
1. the red second hand which makes the watch more distinct.
2. the band is very comfortable. Has metal slots and buckle to adjust it to your wrist size.
3. the numbers on the dial are fairly large which makes it easier to read.
4. the hands and numbers all illuminate in the dark
5. shows the date and day (it's in spanish around 3am-5am)
6. the crystal is made of a type of mineral which is scratch resistant. (still no scratches on mine!!)
Besides all that, this watch has a very nice casual look and is more of an everyday kind of watch. It will never need a battery since it's powered by both natural and artificial light. It fascinates me to realize that a watch will last longer than my life span.
Overall this watch is great. only negative aspect is that I noticed that the crown bruised the back of my hand a little, but I never realized it till recently.... just thought I should mention that.
A Very Impressive Watch! A Good Value for Your Money! March 6, 2006

For the money, you can't go wrong with this model. In terms of comfort, convenience, and accuracy, I haven't seen anything in the market that even comes close.
Comfort: Very comfortable; it would appear to me that Citizen may have reduced the size of the setting crown somewhat, comparing my particular model to the the one shown in the picture above, making it less obtrusive; no problems for me!
Convenience: In my opinion, the best in the industry, as most other watches will either require routine maintenance or at least a change in battery more often than not (even the so-called "kinetic drive" systems, made by a different manufacturer, require this, as stated in their own instruction manual!) As another reviewer has stated, it's quite a novelty to purchase a watch that will last for several decades without any need to open the case! In terms of readability, the high contrast hands and dial are a plus for me.
Accuracy: Here is an unexpected benefit - the second-hand lines up well with the indices, and there is no evidence of the minute or hour hands being out of register whatsoever. In addition, the day and date indicators line up perfectly through the window opening! Finally, my particular model gains only about one second per 3-week interval.
About that "Olive Canvas Strap": although very comfortable, I must agree, while being of a subjective nature, may give some pause with regard to being "stylish". It would seem that replacing this strap would be easy enough if so desired. Then again, this could be the next fashion statement!
A Must for your Watch Wardrobe March 16, 2007

This is the best buy in timepieces for the money. It has an easy to read face; it is DAY DATE as opposed to just day of the month; it is rugged; it needs no battery; it is deadly accurate. I have two of them!
