I considered this purchase from the viewpoint of an already satisfied Eco-Drive owner. My original Citizen features a titanium case and strap and is great for business attire. But I wanted a less formal watch for casual wear. This watch caught my eye, and it was love at first sight. The watch arrived after about five days, as advertised. Upon opening the box, I was taken aback by the size. This is a large-face watch, and I was expecting something about the size of my titanium case. I was considering returning it, then decided to give it a try and sell it on eBay if I didn’t like it. As it turns out, I got used to it after a couple of days. The canvas strap became a little more pliable, which helped the watch stay in place better on my wrist, and the discomfort of the band disappeared. Now I can focus on enjoying the big face and oversized luminous digits, which glow extraordinarily bright when exposed to a light source at night. Like my original Eco-Drive, this watch keeps excellent time. So far I have not detected a single second’s variance between checks and settings. If you order this watch, keep in mind that the face is larger than most and that you’ll have to be patient while the canvas strap gets pliable.

My watch arrived quickly and without a scratch. The canvas strap takes some getting used to but the size of the bezel is great…not too big and not too small and I am about 6ft to give you an idea. The illumination works good but has to be charged with a light source and does not glow actively. A good watch for my flightsuit.

What can I say? Citizen makes a great, affordable watch. This particular model is perfect for outdoor activities. I love the eco-drive concept. No batteries to change for the next 20 years or so. And Citizen’s in-house luminescence is second-to-none. Once you expose the watch to a bright light for a couple of minutes it will shine a bright blue all night long. I do have two minor quibbles. I wish it had a screw down crown to increase its water resistance. The watch hands could be a bit larger and the lume on them applied more thickly.

The watch is beautiful, a bit heavy though. This is my second eco drive watch and so far is good. I was expecting a black dial but this olive green is excellent.

First of all, the service was great, received it quickly the next day with a regular shipping and not expedited.
When I opened the box, I was surprised with the size of the dial,it looked big and I wondered how could they make it that way. But when I wore it, it looked fabulous! I looked at the mirror and it looked great.
I felt I was in the military, it has that look. People with good forearms would look great with this watch.
I loved the crown too, it looks stylish and different. like a grenade touch :)
Very well desinged and the green dial is unique and really well made.
The strap sits well and does not move even when you dance or jog, that matters as we would not have the hassle of adjusting the watch all the time.
One part I noticed is, the seconds needle would not reach at its point. That is one flaw I noticed,it is a minor detail compared to Swiss watches. I had a Swatch before and it EXACTLY reached every second to its point.
Another thing I noticed was the days displayed next to the date, why would they include Spanish? I have never come across this, but I don’t care, its an added feature.
The box is great and the manual gives you complete details.
A five year limited warranty is included in the package.
Apart from that, the watch is Excellent! Old fashioned, but great.
Goods – The looks, Eco-Drive technology, the way it fits your hand and does not need any adjustments.
Bads – Dial is slightly bigger,(could look like a altimeter), seconds needle not to the point.
Go ahead and buy this watch! It is Sportive and Casual, It is a must buy!!! I love it!
