    This is an excellent watch. It is thinner than I had thought it might be, given it is solar powered. I would have preferred a smooth finish black band instead of the cheaper pieced look, but overall it I really enjoy it. The only other thing I would have liked was if the hands illuminated in the dark.

    I love the watch so much that I also bought the gold/brown model. Time is perfect and the weight is nice and light. The leather strap is making my wrist break out. After wearing the watch for a week I have a red ring around my wrist. After researching issues I found that some leathers are tanned with chrominum instead of animal fats. I contacted Citizen Customer Service and was directed to main headquaters in Japan. I never received a reply.

    I’ve had this watch for a little over a year now, and it’s still working…hasn’t missed a beat! It’s so light, I don’t even know it’s there, yet, I feel naked without it. I’ve worn it almost every day for about 18 hours each day. It’s been banged like hell, but cosmetically, it still looks great! There’s maybe two scratches on the glass, but that’s my fault, not the watch’s. I can’t believe how many compliments I’ve gotten about how it’s “me” in a watch form–it’s simple but very very classy. I can’t praise it enough!

    This Citizen Eco-Drive watch provides everything that you could need in timepiece. The display is attractive and easy to read, with the date and day of the week clearly displayed in characters large enough to read with just a glance. Also, several people (including myself) have commented on the use of “12-8-4″ as the only printed numerals on the face, something rather unique that really adds to the overall presentation. The total package is also quite light, thanks the combination of thin timepiece with a leather band. This watch is certainly more comfortable than any watch with a metal band that I’ve owned. Lastly, the solar-charging battery in this unit means that it should run for a very long time without needing a new battery.

    Love this watch for the price. Needed something to take to the bar or parties that wouldnt matter too much if lost or stolen. But then I got this watch and I like it so much that i would be pissed if I actually did lose it.
