 I love this watch!Aug 07, 2008
I just can't say enough good things about this watch. I love it, it satisfies the geek in me, while not looking out of place when camping.
There are only two points that detract from this watch, but I love it so much it doesn't drag the overall rating down.
1. The band isn't everything it could be, and in fact is a bit small around my wrist. However I don't buy a watch for it's band, they are easily and cheaply replaced.
2. Just more of a warning. In the pictures, it looks like the case extends above the crystal (dial face) which I have had on watches before. That is not so with this watch, the crystal actually extends beyond the case ever so slightly. Not enough to detract from my opinion of the watch, but I wanted to warn other buyers in case this is critical in your circumstances.

Citizen Eco-DriveJul 22, 2008
This is truly a fantastic watch. I love it that it's solar powered and has such a long warranty. It feels and looks very solid. The numbers are clear and just the right size. The watch glows through the night. The band is less wonderful. However, I replaced the band with a black nylon band (about $5.00) which looks terrific.
A great watch at a great price.

 First Amazon DisappointmentJul 21, 2008
My last watch from Amazon was the quartz Invicta dive watch, now on my wrist. It's a great watch for the price...Amazon gave me a good deal and timely delivery. But most jewelers these days are jaded, leaving battery replacement to their sales clerks, who give a scripted statement about their inability to get a good seal, damaging the crystal, etc. Living on the ocean, I need a very water resistant watch. After seeing this one and reading the revues, I noticed the specials link and clicked it. The watch was offered for fifty-one bucks, if I applied for the Chase/Amazon Visa card. That was thirty bucks down, so I filled out the Chase/Amazon Visa application, which asked questions not included in the stack of preapproved credit card applications stuffed into one of my drawers...mother's maiden name, employers phone number, etc. Well, after filling out all of the blanks, I was informed that my purchase had not been processed. So I telephoned the 888 number for Chase/Amazon Visa, and was told that they had not received my application. Well, I ordered the watch the next evening, on my old account, but was told that Amazon would not ship to my post office box, as it has in the past. So I gave them my street address and ordered this watch. Now I am left to wonder if the Chase Visa special was an identity theft popup scam, or if Amazon has suffered some change in management which treats its customers like victims, as so many businesses do these days. This is the only time that Amazon has failed to make good on a special offer. I've been entirely happy with Amazon in the past. Right now, I am not happy. I hope that the watch arrives and proves worthy of the hassle and the worry. I also hope that this purchase is not the beginning of bad news to come.
Perfect Weekend WatchJul 15, 2008
I bought this watch to wear on the weekends so I don't beat up my good watches. I knew the band would be small and weak but I had an older expansion type band from another watch. When the watch arrived I cut off the canvas band, put on the metal band set the time and date and put it out in the sun for the rest of the afternoon. I have not touched it since!! I select and wind what good watch I want to wear during the week and when Saturday morning comes I grab this one, put it on and go! The luminous hands and markers are very bright at night! I am a large guy and a larger dial would have been nice. However if you can get an eco-drive that never needs a battery for this price that is alway set and ready to go after sitting in the dark for a week then you have the perfect weekend watch.
This is the only Citizen watch I have ever owned so I cannot attest to durability. Accuracy has been dead on! I guess since all the WR-100/200s have the same movement pick the one that suits you and you are all set.
I would buy this watch again and will buy another if I ever need to do so.
Good Job by Amazon on delivery, good job by Citizen to make a reliable product that is technologically advanced and fits the needs of most guys.

Excellent watchJul 02, 2008
So far I love this dress/casual/everyday watch. I wasn't crazy about the band (the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars), so got a black leather band with white stitching; looks great.
