 Love everything except strapJul 30, 2010
I must say when the watch arrived I was pleasantly surprised by it. The watch looks much more elegant than the pictures make you believe. I'm 5'7" medium build and the watch fits just right on my wrist. If you're looking for a flashy watch with a big face look elsewhere. This is more of a simple everyday watch that you can rough it with and not get too disappointed if it gets damaged. The only reason it does not get 5 stars is the strap. It is well made but I just have a problem with the color choice and material. It's not very comfortable on the wrist and I have been fussing with it a lot. I plan to stick with it for a few months then swap the strap out for something black with all leather or a rubber.
 Great Watch at a Great PriceJul 24, 2010
I purchased this Citizen Military Watch after having owned a Tag Heuer for over 15 years. The Tag is a fine watch, but I always had issues with the need to refurbish the watch every two years and replace the battery. The dial was grey and the hands were silver, making the Tag hard to read. This watch is never going to need a battery, keeps time as well as the Tag, is very easy to read (night or day) and is sized for a small to medium wrist. The strap is canvas, but mostly waterproof. The face is day and date, which I find very handy, since I often lose track of the day. It keeps very accurate time and is easy to reprogram at the end of the month. For $81.00, it's hard to find a better quality rugged watch at the price. One quirk, however, which I do not understand, is that the watch was being sold by another company when I placed the order, but then the order switched to Amazon as the seller just before it arrived in the mail. I don't know why this happened. I am satisfied with the watch. I think it is a great value for a military style watch, which should last years without maintenance or additional cost.
perfect!Jul 22, 2010
I can't like it more!
Relatively small dial is better for Asians. I bought it a month ago. And so far, it runs precisely.
Better than expectedJul 22, 2010
I normally don't post review but I like this watch a lot which I think it is a good recommendation especially the price is really affordable. With the eco-drive, I don't have to change battery all the time which saves me some money and trouble. I like the watch is not being too heavy but the body looks durable. Not sure why some reviewers said the canvas strap is not good but I like it is being light and didn't look too formal.

Why I Love This WatchJul 16, 2010
There are so many good reviews already for this watch, but I've been so pleased that I had to add my own. I bought this after I accidentally dropped my Seiko diving watch on the floor and broke it. I've had mine for a week now, and it's become my all-time favorite. Here's why:
-Regular quartz watches require battery changes, and automatics/winding watches go dead after a few days in the drawer. Not this one.
-I've grown tired of the look of my big chunky diver-style watches. Nothing against them, but I was ready for something simple, classic, understated, masculine, functional, and beautiful. This fit the bill.
-I changed out the band with a black Nato by Maratac. I do that with almost all of my watches, and I really love how it looks now. Already getting compliments after one week.
-The luminosity at night is not as good as my Seiko divers, but it's still sufficient. Can't complain.
-Day/date setting instructions were simple, if you follow the directions.
-Keeps fantastically accurate time. I'm used to my automatic watches which are always gaining time and require lots of resetting as the weeks go by. Not this one. After one week, it hasn't gained/lost a second!
-Not too big, not too small. I'm 6'4" with average sized wrists. Perfect fit.
-The seconds hand lines up perfectly, and the watch runs silently.
-It's waterproof.
-I've found that products on Amazon with hundreds of reviews and 4.5 or 5 stars turn out to be fantastic products and good values. My thesis has been proven again.
-I can't believe that even with the new band, I've paid under a hundred for this watch. Incredible deal.
-I feel good about the environmental-friendliness of the solar power.
-Feels very light and comfortable, unlike the chunky/heavy divers I'm used to having hanging on my wrist.
I can see me sticking with this watch for many, many years. I'd recommend it to people looking for a very low-maintenance, accurate, classic looking watch at an incredible price.
