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!
