Very good watch, easy to read,replaces an old eco-drive watch that I had for many years.
Great watch,however, the strap is a little stiff and this makes the pin quite dangerous as it is sharp. I recommend they replace the pin with a blunder version.
It is indeed a beautiful watch, not overly glitzy. The stainless steel watch is set off by the black leather ‘crocodile’ wrist strap. The date and time easy to adjust and the Eco Drive removing all worries of fading batteries. A good watch to own.
Nice but a bit plain. Display less easy to read than expected. But will be useful as a second watch
Very nice looking timepiece. It is really lightweight and slim. No worries around battery failure and keeps good accurate time. Very good value.
delivery took much longer then stated. watch looks great and clear to see, sadly at moment I am trying to get it to charge up, as clock stops. my previous citizen (stolen) worked straight away, so hope this is not going to be issue with this watch.
Normal watch. It’s no doubt that the black one will be more good-looking.
But I want a small 36mm formal dress watch. This one meet my expectation.
Dress watch is always expensive.This must be the cheapest 36mm dress watch u can found. As I say ,the quality is normal.
Needed new watch. This might see me out. In poor light you might think its always a quarter past the hour but you soon get used toit. .
May be a ‘mens’ watch by I own one (bought years ago at a local shop) and has been a brilliant watch – my 92 year old mother in law needed a watch she could read more easily and had admired mine. Found this one (same as mine except for coloured surround) she is really happy with it. Comfortable, reliable, easy to read – delivered promptly and well packaged. Many thanks
I love the design of the watch and can see the quality, it is a delight to use and takes seconds to set up, knowing that I will never have to buy a battery for it is the feature that derove me to buy the watch but I was wowed by the quality pf i
The watch has kept great time so far, it’s basic but smart, I like it.
Date feature is useable but awkward by modern standards, you do have to keep track of it on the first of each month as it’s 31 days and it also tracks the day of the week, so more fuss, but it is certainly better than useless. Mobiles have made me lazy about such things, but it doesn’t affect my rating.
The only other thing to be aware of is the the roman numeral for 4 is IIII rather than IV. I prefer a IV by choice, but again, it’s not like it affects my rating.
Time will tell how the solar charged battery lasts and how much fuss it will be changing that when it goes fut, hopefully many years away!
Great watch, boyfriend loves it and wears it daily for work and leisure. It’s a small faced watch, which is good for his wrists but could look lost on someone who has larger arms. I would recommend this watch, it comes nicely packaged boxed.
The watch has a clear large face which I can see easily without needing to search out my reading glasses. This is my second Citizen watch . Like the previous one, it is keeping excellent time, driven by sun light- so clever! Well priced and good looking.
Really pleased. Not too big or heavy. Clever bit of kit running on light. Love the Roman numerals it has date and day which is important to me.
This is a great watch the face is very easy to read the time a quick glance and you can see the time plus it was at the correct time when I opened the box I own a lot of watches this is one of the bes
I’d got through about 3 inexpensive Casio in last 5 years as although kept good time, straps and winders broke, and most recent steamed up. For Amazons price, and the Citizen guarantee, no battery changes, beautiful looking, it will pay for itself
Originally got this as a cheap work watch, I had planned to replace the strap. Really grown in me in both design and quality. Light weight and keeps time excellently. I like the day and date feature. Very attractive watch for its price.
Arrived on time and perfectly packaged. Watch is brilliant – simple, classy and stylish. Not five stars because of the strap. It is a shame about the strap being really cheap looking/feeling but maybe that’s why it’s 60?
The strap currently seems a bit stiff, but will hopefully soften up a bit through use. I have seen some here complain that it was far too short, but for me the smallest setting was perfect for me.
Very Good exprience with this High-quanity watch. But here is a tip of it. The strap isn’t that satisifatory, but you can find any replacement to supersede it, since its price.
The watch I ordered was everything I expected of a Citizen Eco Drive watch. Excellent quality and well worth the wait for it. The watch arrived earlier than the date given originally which I was pleased about. I purchased this as a dress watch and it fits the bill perfectly. The watch has a very clear face and has a day/date feature with Roman numerals and the watch strap is excellent quality leather. Really love it and would recommend this watch to anyone.
A gift for my dad 2 years ago.
Thumb up for this affordable watch. He loves it. Well stylish and good looking.
The date setting is a bit difficult for elderly people otherwise it can replace your expensive one easyly
I bought this particular time piece because all my other watches have metal straps and are by extension heavy (at least the stainless steel ones) and I needed something to wear that’s a bit less flashy. This will go well with a suit or a casual attire.
It is also extremely light. The casing is really thin and although it’s stainless steel, you will forget you’re wearing it. It doesn’t have fancy functions like syncing to the atomic clock – so you’ll need to set the time and date manually – but on the bright side, you will not need a manual. Pull the crown once – the watch stops, so if you’re really the OCD type you can wait until the seconds indicator reaches XII, then set the day and week day by rotating it – pull the crown twice – set the time. Push the crown back – you’re done. Extremely easy for anybody who has ever used a mechanical watch.
The time keeping is extremely precise so far – I verify all my time pieces against multiple sources – and the watch is a pleasure to wear.
The strap could have been less flashy to be quite honest, but it isn’t a pain to change if you want to.
The roman numerals are “de gustibus”. Personally, I like them, since my first ever watch had roman numerals and they also enhance a look that’s stylish and classic.
About the water resistance of this watch, I found in the Citizen documentation (which you can find here on page 14 – http://c04.coacdn.com/calibersWPC/E101_ebook.pdf ) that if there is no indication then the watch should still be water resist(ant) up to three atmospheres, which means, in this particular case, that you can use it without any problems whilst washing your face and that a little rain will not kill it. However, for kitchen work or swimming, this isn’t an appropriate choice.
I wanted a slim, steel, leather strapped, white faced, Roman numeralled, two handed analogue wristwatch – -this has it and it has day, date and a second’s sweep hand as well!! Oh and it’s light powered so need for neither batteries or winding – fullmarks
