Citizen Women's Crystal Accented Stainless Steel Watch #EK4900-50E


I gave this to my girlfriend as a graduation present. She loved it. I had to get some links taken out though, because when it got here the band was big enough to fit around my wrist.

No real complaints though. Everything about it is great!

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 Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Diamond Accented Dress Watch #EG2580-58D


I ordered this watch for my wife for our wedding anniversary.

The watch is very nice, and she liked it a lot.

It's smaller than the imagine makes one believe. Which in our case was good.

Good watch for the money.Buy Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Diamond Accented Dress Watch #EG2580-58D!

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.

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Watch #BM0192-59E


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). Citizen has done a fine job in engineering this watch.Buy Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Gold-Tone Stainless Steel Watch #BM0192-59E!

Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Accented Gold-Tone Bangle Watch #EG2382-51A


I buy nothing but Citizen Eco-Drive watches because I detest having to constantly replace batteries. This one is really pretty. I ended up not keeping it just because it was a little dressier than I was anticipating. I needed a little more casual watch.Buy Citizen Women's Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Accented Gold-Tone Bangle Watch #EG2382-51A!

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Dress Gold-Tone Brown Leather Strap Watch #AU1002-07P


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!
