Elegant WatchJul 10, 2008
I love this watch it, is simple yet elegant. The best part is you never have to change batteries and you can tell time without looking at the watch on the click of a button hearing the tones. One thing to note is that it requires a full charge in daylight on the very first use before time can be set since it is photo electric watch.

Excellent watch, but be warned...Dec 26, 2007
I did a lot of research when selecting this watch, and among the things that made me choose this one were its VERY attractive design, the functionality, the excellent reputation of Citizen watches, the price and the water resistance listed on the product page.
I received the watch a few days ago, spent a good hour programming it (reading the manual is a MUST!) and was prepared to give it a quick "water test" since the Amazon description (at least at the time of this writing) lists this watch as follows: "Water resistant depth: 30 Meters". Well, 30 meters is WAY deeper than I can swim without some serious scuba gear so I figured that a quick dip in a sink wouldn't be an issue at all. THANK GOODNESS I ended up stumbling onto a page in the manual that described the water resistance ratings for Citizen watches. Although it doesn't specifically list a rating for the Calibre 9000 watch in the manual (the manual I received covers all Citizen "minute repeater" watches), it does tell you how to determine the water resistance rating for any Citizen watch. Well, it's a darned good thing I read this before submerging it completely in water because the water resistance rating for this watch is as follows: "This type of watch is water-resistant to minor exposure to water. For example, you may wear the watch while washing your face; however, it is not designed for use underwater."
I'm very hopeful that Amazon will either remove or seriously reword the "Water resistant depth: 30 Meters" specification from their description because it sounds like this thing wouldn't hold up to a 3-inch full submersion without becoming a very attractive, non-functional paper weight.
Aside from that very misleading description, the watch itself is amazing. I could easily get into some of the cool features of the watch, but you can find those easily by reading the watch description (all of which appears to be 100% accurate). Oh, I suppose I should mention that my step dad has a Calibre, and his loses about 1.5 seconds a MONTH from official US time. I consider that extremely good.
Definitely a 5-star purchase!

Excellent TimepieceMay 09, 2007
This is a great watch for the price. Initial set up was a little confusing, but once done the watch won't need to be touched until daylight savings forces another adjustment. I gave this one to me wife and now I want one too.
