Excellent watch.Oct 25, 2008
This watch is everything it was advertised to be. A very dressy, stylish but durable timepiece. I am still getting used to the leather band; I have one of those wrists where the third hole is too loose and the fourth hole is too tight. I ended up drilling a hole in between. This, however, has nothing to do with the watch itself. I would highly recommend this product to anyone interested in having a dependable and eye-catching watch.
A fine watch.Oct 23, 2008
I bought 4 of these for groomsman's gifts for my wedding. Three out of four will barely take it off. The other will only wear it sparingly because he is afraid to scratch it. The age ranges are from 16 to 33. Maybe this helps if you are considering this as a gift. One thing to consider for bigger guys, go ahead and buy a longer strap the same time you buy the watch. I bought my 4 from a brick and mortar jewelry store so I can't speak about Amazon's service in this instance. One thing to note about eco-drives, if you leave them in the dark for extended periods of time (say in a safe deposit box whilst on a year long deployment) it may take up to a week for the capacitor to charge sufficiently.
Nice watchOct 06, 2008
This is a nice, classy watch that doesn't break the bank. Eco-drive is a nice feature. I wear long sleeves to work, so I'm not sure how much of a charge this is getting most of the time. I've had the watch about a month and no problems yet. The manual says that the watch can run for months in total darkness on a full charge, so I'm not too worried. The watch movement changes when the charge is low (ticks every 2 seconds) to save energy and indicate a low charge, while still keeping the correct time.
Great WatchSep 29, 2008

Watch me now...Sep 10, 2008
I'm a little embarrassed that I'm singing about a watch, for crying out loud. Maybe it's because we all are just craving a little honesty this election year. Anyway, as an old(er) coot, I needed a watch for business (my waning days) and pleasure (hopefully) and being a curmudgeon. This watch is perfect.
The circumference and thickness kind of make you remember older days in watches. The numbers are easy to see against the background (large 4, 8, and 12), and the gold double bars to indicate the other hours are sized perfectly compared to the actual numbers. You can see the watch without reading glasses - at least, I can this year - and I can even make out the day and date without glasses. Whoever designed the face probably has been studying those Golden Ratios, or whatever: there is a pleasing relationship between the circumferences on the face (outer and inner) and the diameters of the outer ring (hours section) and inner circle (most of the day-date, the Citizen logo, and the main whatchamacallit that the hands attach to). The color of the gold is not bright yellow; it kind of grades to the ochre red-gold - certainly a watch for the Beowulf wannabe's out there (like me). The band is, or was, an alligator-steer genetic fluke, I suppose; reasonably soft. And the color of the band picks up the reddish quality of the metal. It is a very light-weight watch.
Plus, it runs on light, man! Light! (Must have said that during the 60's sometime....) Pretty cool to think that nobody REALLY knows what's powering this thing. Never needs a battery - gedoutaheah! Really! If you buy this watch (your own), they could bury you on Mt Everest with your arm sticking up, perhaps with a baggie around it - I don't know why, and in a thousand generations, your heirs can come by, take the watch, leave the baggie, and use it until the universe...well, whatever it will do.
Do some Amazon reviewers have too much time on their hands? (Clever, no?)
Buy this watch. I prefer the gold/brown: more mythic. You'll like it.
