 After 5 years of daily use...Mar 10, 2009
By D. Connelly
I STILL love this watch. I wear it every single day. It keeps perfect time. The solar powered feature is amazing. I really like not having to worry about the battery dying. It's heavy enough that it's sturdy but not so heavy as to be annoying. I had to have a few links removed so keep that in mind when you order. Any watch dealer will be able to remove the links but I think most people will need to have that done to make it wearable. After 5 years of abuse, the face is still scratch free. The band shows some wear but considering that I have never been gentle on it, I'm impressed with how well it's held up. I am ordering a new Citizen watch today just to have some variety, but I'm sure this watch will still be my day to day watch. Order with confidence.
Update: 2 more years of daily use and it's still going strong. It keeps perfect time and is as solid as ever. Probably the best watch I have ever bought.

sleek and silver Citizen Eco-DriveNov 26, 2009
By ashburyniran
A stunning, clean-lined watch. I've been wearing this watch for a couple weeks now, its so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it. Nice brushed steel band, a brighter silver ring around the face - and after exposing the face to light for awhile the hands glow green in the dark, then fade, which is a cool trick. It's not too bulky/big and not too dainty/small. Out of the box, the band was too long, be prepared to get it resized if you're anywhere near a regular wrist size.
The image here shows a darker blue-gray face - in reality it's simply gray, but that doesn't detract from it in any aesthetic way. That's actually why I picked this one, for the unique gray face. And if you are wondering about how you would ever replace the uniquely shaped band if it becomes worn looking from much use (like my last Fossil watch) - Citizen watches come with a five year limited warranty and all the Citizen Worldwide Service Centers are listed in the accompanying instruction booklet - emailing them or sending it in for a replacement band would probably be the only way to get the exact same Citizen band if it's possible.
And about the "fueled by light" feature - you don't have to wonder if your watch is getting enough light and will suddenly stop from lack of charge or something - I've been wearing mine for awhile and wearing it regularly makes that a non-issue. With a full charge its supposed to last six months in the dark. No batteries ever needed. All around a handsome, understated sleek and silver watch.

 Solid, but not perfectAug 19, 2009
By Elle
I've had this watch for about 3 or so years. For reference, I'm a college student, which means I've been fairly rough on this watch. It stays on my wrist when I'm moving in and moving out. I've also been wearing this watch pretty much every day without fail.
After about 3 years of wear, it has some scratches and small chips in the watch face (rather annoying). I have no problem reading the time, but the scratches are most definitely there. The metal band has gotten really worn in a "I'm not really studying your watch, but can tell your watch has seen some better days" type of way. Point of this part of the review, is that the watch will see wear if you wear it. I haven't done anything to make it shinier or anything like taking it in to a jeweler's, but it's nothing that a simple visit wouldn't fix. Final note, this watch has seen its share of water (tap, pool, ocean), but no water damage whatsoever.
That being said, despite its fairly minor aesthetic flaws, it's been a reliable watch. Hasn't failed me on the time. Don't have to worry about batteries. Never an issue of "making sure my watch gets enough light." It will get light. Unless you live in a bat cave, eternally. I would go with an Eco Drive again. It's extremely effortless, which is why this watch gets 4 stars.
True, it's a little annoying that the calendar day is off on the non 31 day months, and the day sometimes gets off (switches over at noon instead of midnight) if you switch time zones and need to adjust the time. But all in all, these are really really minor details, and just come with having a watch that spells out the day of the week and the day of the month for you. (It's really nice having the day of the week and the day of the month on your wrist if you are as forgetful as I am.)

High quality and stylish watchDec 09, 2009
By Thomas
My girlfriend wanted an elegant but practical watch that could be worn in formal as well as casual settings. This watch looks great and met that criteria perfectly. She also wanted a no-hassle watch she could rely on. This watch is a high quality Citizen Eco-Drive so it should be dependable and low maintenance.
The band does scratch pretty easily, which is too bad, but I suppose it's something to be expected of just about any watch with a metal band.
The day of the week takes a long time to completely roll over. The date is pretty quick, starts switching around 11:50 p.m. and finishes around 12:30 a.m. But the day of the week doesn't completely finish switching to the new day until about 4:00 a.m.!
Also, plan on having to adjust the date at the end of months that have more or less than 31 days in them. A pre-programmed perpetual calendar would be ideal but would surely cost more and would likely require the watch to be larger. And since I like its size as is and prefer to not pay much more for a watch, I won't complain about that.
My girlfriend really likes this watch and is very happy with it. It's a great every-day wearer that looks sharp worn with about anything (except a lot of gold, of course).
This is a high quality and stylish watch.

8 years and countingJun 03, 2010
By K. Gustafson
"Whole-Brained"
I wear my watch 24/7. No kidding! My kids and husband think I'm crazy. But I love this watch and as far as I'm concerned, it's a part of me just like my wedding ring. It's been eight years since I purchased this watch and have had no problems whatsoever. It's such a timeless, classic style, and two different jewelers actually asked if it was a Rolex! When I bought it I thought, 'there's no way this watch is going to last longer than five years.' Well, it has! And I even swim in it! I bought my husband the men's version of this exact watch about five years ago and his is still going strong (and the man is really hard on things, especially jewelry). I'm thinking about buying this watch for my cousin since she got accepted to medical school and I'm very proud. She'll need a good watch and this is definitely a gift I'll feel confident about giving.
Bottom line: no complaints for either the men's or women's style, and I would buy both again in a heartbeat!
