Solar Eco-driveMay 12, 2010
This is my second Eco-drive watch. The first watch was excellent and kept accurate time for over 7 years.(and still does) My new citizen's solar watch is beautiful and tracks time with the naval clock to the second! I'd recommend this watch to anyone who desires a trouble free, accurate watch.

great, but costly repairSep 02, 2009
Excellent watch. I love it.
I bought this watch a few years ago. I have gotten many compliments on this watch over the years. One person saw it on my hand and thought it was a Rolex. I can't speak for how accurate the watch is. I have not had any issues with it keeping the time, but I wouldn't notice if the time was off a little.
The only issue I had with it was when i dropped it. the minute and hour hand stopped moving. I sent it in for repair, and I got a bill for $115 to fix it (parts, labor, tax and shipping). I did a search for it and came up with around $250-300 to buy a new one. I just think that the price is too high.

 Good watch...but has some flawsAug 07, 2009
I've owned this watch for about 4 years now. Just some comments on what I've experienced with it.
The dial window, being mineral, scratches easily. I have already replaced it once.
The watch band and case is a combination of a polished stainless steel and a brushed stainless steel. The polished parts tend to scuff and scratch easily. Cost me a pretty penny to get it polished out, so now I don't wear the watch as much as I used to.
Adjusting the time is also a little "odd". When you pull out the side button to adjust the time and you go to adjust, the minute hand moves, but it stops at every minute marker. So changing the time is a bit of a chore. So I usually don't take this watch with me when I travel to a different time zone.
I have the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch #BL8000-03A, and adjusting the time on that watch is as you would expect. You turn the button as fast or as slow as you want and the arms move accordingly.
I do have to say, of all of my metal banded watches, this one is the most comfortable. It's a good looking watch, all in all, but just be careful with it, because it easily scratches. If you tend to be hard on watches like I do, might want to look for a watch that's mostly, if not all a brushed stainless steel or brushed titanium.

You get a lot of watch for the price!Nov 22, 2008
I'd have to agree with everybody here. This watch was definitely a nice add to the "collection" and I find myself choosing to wear it at least as often as even the most expensive watches I own. I, too, truly appreciate the perpetual calendar with the leap year function.
As can be expected, though, it takes a bit to figure out how to set the time/date/etc and I'll have to keep the manual somewhat handy since it's not necessarily a pull-the-crown-and-adjust-the-time affair like simpler watches.
Overall, it's a beautiful watch and I'm very pleased with it!

Impressive WatchNov 11, 2008
If you're undecided whether you should buy this watch or its counterpart with a blue face, here's your answer: Go for this one! I've had a chance to compare this item side by side with the blue face Calibre 8700. The latter is more popular but pales in comparison to the elegance of the black and white faced dial. The black, white and gray contrast each other so well it goes along with any conceivable wardrobe that you may have. The bracelet is equally handsome and distinct. Setting up the watch may initially be cumbersome, but with the help of the included interactive CD guide, it's a cinch even for non-techies. Also compare the price on Amazon with a regular jeweler's and you'll know you're getting a really great deal here.
