Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Two-Tone Watch #EW9334-52E


I just got this watch for a Christmas gift and love it! I did quite a bit of research (including shopping at various jewelry stores to try the watches on) and finally decided on this eco-drive for various reasons. This model has a smaller face and sits almost unnoticed (by me) on my wrist - which is what I was looking for. I have a small wrist that other watches either look too clunky or are just too big. The black face and gold hands give a nice contrast for my aging eyes to easily read the time in spite of the smaller dial. The eco-drive totally eliminates the problem of batteries dying when you least expect it, and having to find a jeweler to replace them. The book states that a full charge in sunlight will enable the watch to run for up to a year in the dark!! The watch has been running since I got it just on the store's flourescent lighting. I would highly reccomend this watch for anyone looking for a sporty, durable, small, easy to read, eco-friendly timepiece!Buy Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Two-Tone Watch #EW9334-52E!

Citizen Women's J-Class Eco-Drive Diamond Gold-Tone Watch #EW9152-50D


I am familiar with the Citizens Eco-Drive since I purchased a silver tone watch a few years ago and have been impressed; I am a sales rep and wanted a gold tone dress watch. After doing some research online and checking out the various watches at a local jewelry store, I was very impressed with this one. The look, detail and slickness of it is exactly what I was looking for.

It appears to be a very well made watch yet not too costly. Online and Amazon.com is the way to go.

Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Swarovski Crystal Accented Gold-Tone Watch #EW8722-59D


I used to own a citizen eco Drive similar to this exact model. Needed to get the band resized since it was large but the watch is beautiful, lightweight and metal band does not tarnish since it is stainless steel. Have yet to see how long the gold finish will last but my previous two tone watch held its color for over 2 years. It does not need its battery changed since it is a rechargable cell that works via solar cell and artificial light works. Just be careful if you wear long sleeve shirts all the time, if so you will need to leave the watch under the sun or a lamp when you are not wearing it to charge it. I dropped the previous watch a few times and the hour hand came off. Durable this watch is not but it is definitely classy and good for someone who wants a low maintenance watch.Buy Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Swarovski Crystal Accented Gold-Tone Watch #EW8722-59D!

I wanted an elegant, reliable wristwatch without a lot of flash to replace an M & Co. watch of which I was very fond, which was stolen. After searching through dozens of ads and reviews, I decided on this one. It's beautiful and works flawlessly. I also appreciate the solar-powered feature.

Citizen Eco-Drive Women's Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Watch #EW9472-59P


I got this watch yesterday, and it is beautiful, much prettier than the photo. It comes in a cylindrical box that's every bit as beautiful as the watch itself. The band is plenty large, over 8", so it will accommodate plus-sized wrists. Unfortunately, it has no second hand, so I'm reluctantly returning it. I will continue to look for a similar Eco-Drive that has a second hand, but since the Amazon descriptions are all the same, I'll have to find the one I want elsewhere then come back here to buy it.Buy Citizen Eco-Drive Women's Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Watch #EW9472-59P!

Citizen Eco-Drive Women's Riega Diamond Watch #EP5624-58D


For some reason, this watch is not as nice as what I expected. It is somewhat klunky for my small wrist and the face is pretty, but it is not spectacular in any way. I guess I am spoiled, but I wish it was thinner and lighter weight. There is certainly nothing wrong with it and it keeps great time. I will keep it but will look for something a little more dressy and a little less heavy looking.Buy Citizen Eco-Drive Women's Riega Diamond Watch #EP5624-58D!

bought this watch for my mom for mother's and she loved it. The diamonds surrounding the face are tiny but they shine. the only downside of this watch is that its only 3 bar water resistant which means that it's only resistant to "accidental splashes". other than that its great that she will never have to change the battery because of the eco-drive feature. it also keeps great time.Buy Citizen Eco-Drive Women's Corso Diamond Watch #EW0734-53E!

Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Watch #EG2352-52P


My wife is happy with this watch. She got lots of compliments from ladies. She had several name brand watches before, but batteries run out and she stopped wearing them. Citizen found ingenious, good for the life time solution - Eco Drive! Reason for 4 stars is lock design: it is rather hard to put them on. The lock hook pointing backwards - some dexterity and patience required, taking them off is easy. The actual watch looked somewhat smaller than picture on the web page conveys, but dial is quite readable, rich looking and proportional to lady's hand. Price wise sale offer was unbeatable, parcel arrived on time.
Thank you Amazon - you helped me to make a nice Valentine's day gift!
BTW: I got an Eco-Drive's watch also as a present via Amazon and happy with them as well - go solar, go Citizen!Buy Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Watch #EG2352-52P!

This watch is very nice and dressy, but unfortunately the band cannot be adjusted without sending it back to the factory in California. It would have been helpful to know this before I ordered the item. I decided to return the watch to the seller.

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Watch #BM0330-57H


First of all, this is a very nice looking watch and it is fairly accurate (+15 sec/month). However, the biggest problem I have is with the band. The band is very stiff and it snags even very tiny hairs on my wrist. The bad thing is, there are no other bands (not even from Citizen) that will fit the watch because of the way the case is shaped. Also, the hands line up with some of the markers, but not all of them. I understand that this isn't a big deal, but it irritates me a bit. If it was possible to change the band, it would be a pretty great watch.Buy Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Stainless Steel Watch #BM0330-57H!

Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Two-Tone Watch #EW8664-53A


I bought this Citizen Eco-drive to replace one I'd given my wife nine years ago that finally failed. We discovered that the power unit was fried and they didn't make replacements. The original was much more expensive than this, but we didn't know it was ultimately a throwaway.
This watch is the same technology but we expect it to crump in a few year. It's still a beautiful watch, and the eco-drive is totally hands-off as long as it lasts. No batteries to maintain, no problem if you don't wear it for a long time. It keeps itself charged with light input through the porous face.
My wife loves it and I plan to replace it every five to nine years. Oh well!

The only negative is that you need to check dimensions carefully on the Amazon watch site. All watches are displayed as approx the same size, This one is smaller than I expected (my bad) but it looks good on her wrist and she can still read the time on it. Next one will have to be larger.Buy Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Two-Tone Watch #EW8664-53A!

I bought this watch for my wife who is very happy with it. The only
minor negative factor is that the band is not readily user adjustable,
requiring a special tool found only at some retail watch sellers, and
the only way one can discover this is at the Citizen website.Buy Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Dress Gold-Tone Bangle Watch #EW9602-55E!

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Stiletto Gold-Tone Watch #AR1002-56A


I really treasure the watch. It is exactly what I was looking for. It is thin and quite comfortable on my wrist. It looks sharp and is a great conversation piece. How many people do you know with a solar powered watch ... and one that doesn't look like a piece of technology too!

Charging it has turned out to be no problem ... as I left the watch in full-sun for several days. NOT having a charge indicator IS a drawback. It is hard to KNOW when you need a re-charge. Other Citizen watches tell you they need charging by the behavior of the second hand. This watch has no second hand.

The band is especially comfortable, something that is important with any metal-link band, although the clasp is difficult to work. It requires that you press two 'buttons' -- one each on either side of the band -- to release AND connect the band. The action is tricky, and may not be to everyone's taste. It is a llittle awkward.

Be warned that the watch is ONLY water resistant. Do not wear it while doing the dishes!

Lastly ... my watch appears to run slow ... losing roughly a minute every two days. This may only be MY watch. I have contacted the seller and am waiting for a response.

Update -- CAUTION. The seller explained that the watch runs slow because it is not being fully charged. When I explained that the watch had sat in full sun for two days and still ran slow, the seller stopped communicating.Buy Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Stiletto Gold-Tone Watch #AR1002-56A!

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Black Ion-Plated Leather Strap Watch #BL6005-01E


I've always liked the quality of Citizen watches, but never owned an Eco-Drive before this one. I've had it for a few months now and it's worked flawlessly. It is stylish enough that I can wear it with something dressy, but also simple enough to be worn with casual attire. The Eco-Drive functionality has worked great. I was a little worried since I spend so much time indoors that it might not get enough light to keeping ticking. But even though I don't expose it to very much sunlight, indoor lighting has kept it going without missing a beat.

The inner ends of the leather band are winged with metal tips (the silver portions in the picture). When it comes time to replace the band, I'm not sure if it will be possible to either remove the metal clips and put them on the new band or buy a new band with the exact same style.Buy Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Black Ion-Plated Leather Strap Watch #BL6005-01E!

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Corso Stainless Steel Watch #BM8400-50A


I will keep updating this as I have more experience. I got it last week. It arrived in a beautiful blue box (good as a gift). The band is pretty loose for normal wrist sizes and you have to get it to a jeweler. I went to local Fred Meyer (grocery) store jeweler and they didn't charge anything. The clasp mechanism is very nice (definitely better than the Skagen one I had)

Setting the date and time was not an issue.

The watch hands glow in the dark (for a while anyways).

It is very quiet.

Very clean design. I almost wish the hands are darker color as it blends in with the watch face a bit too much. Maybe it is getting used to it is the problem since it is pretty new.

I will take this to Mexico vacation with me and will see how it fares.

The watch is not big, but it gives the illusion of a substantial dressy watch so best of both worlds for me.

UPDATE: 4/20/2009 I think it scratches somewhat easily on the glass. I already have two scratches. My other watches didn't scratch this easily.Buy Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Corso Stainless Steel Watch #BM8400-50A!

Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Accented Bangle Watch #EG2380-57E


I recently purchased this watch from Amazon. It is a beautiful watch to look at (I would rate it 5 stars based on appearance); however, the specifications listed for this watch are incorrect. It is indicated that the case, band and bezel materials are stainless steel. The back of the watch has the words "base metal" stamped into it. This surprised me, as base metal is generally used in what would be considered "cheap", or costume, jewelry. Some base metals are iron, copper, nickel, lead or zinc. They can corrode easily and cause skin irritation. I contacted Amazon about my concern, and they suggested I contact Citizen directly at 1-800-321-1023. I called Citizen, and they confirmed that according to their specifications, the watch material, including the band and caseback, is indeed base metal. Since their own website also advertises the watch as being stainless steel, they said they would have to change this error. I took the watch to a local jeweler who was selling this watch, and he was also under the impression that it was stainless steel, and was very surprised to hear that a watch of this price, and from this manufacturer, was actually made from base metal. So just be aware that if you have any kind of skin sensitivities, or are concerned about your watch potentially corroding, this may be something to consider before making the decision to purchase, especially at this price. I haven't had the watch long enough to report on any personal experiences with it as yet (I have only worn it once, for a brief period of time). But I am disappointed, and likely would not have purchased it had I been correctly informed as to the actual materials.

My wife got me this watch for our wedding anniversary. It was a wonderful surprise. I've been enjoying it for about 3 weeks now. It's a striking watch. The gold color is very classy. The strap design is good and secure (but like other metal bands, it can pull the wrist hair on occasion). The date number is a wee bit small and in low light is difficult to read. I love having not to worry about a battery replacement. I've had some compliments while wearing the watch as it's that kind of watch. I like it enough to want a silver one to be able to switch off as needed (hint, hint if wife is reading this).

I purchased this watch for my husband's birthday. He wanted an eco-drive; we hear wearing battery watches all the time may not be good for you and wind up watches don't seem to exist anymore.

He likes the look and the date window. When the leather band wears out we can replace it with a flexible watch band. You can't replace broken bands on many watches these days. Good price for a dress watch compared with retail outlets.

Caution: if you need a second hand, this watch does not have one. That's why I gave it four stars. Buy Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Dress Gold-Tone Brown Leather Strap Watch #AU1002-07P!
