I particularly wanted a brass or gold coloured watch with a brown leather strap. This one from Citizen caught my eye, neither too big nor too small, with its pearly white face and crisp metal figures, and the price seemed reasonable. I have had this watch for 18 months now. You can't review such a product until you have thoroughly road-tested it. People have commented on how attractive it is. It keeps good time, and a huge plus is the Eco-drive, driven by solar energy, thus requiring no batteries or mechanical winding.
Now the down side. First, the strap is cheap and nasty. In six months you will be replacing it. Second, the date is so small and lacking contrast, it's hard for someone with normal eyesight to see. Finally, the adjustment knob is extremely fiddly. It has two positions, one for the date and one for the time. Whenever a month has less than 31 days, you will have to adjust the date manually. But I ended up using my teeth to pull the knob out to the correct position.
It would appear you can't have beauty *and* functionality without forking out a lot of money.

Citizen Eco Classic Style Wristwatch
15 Jan 2007
Happy with this watch so far. Day/Date is set a little deep to be seen easily. Looks attractive if you like the classic look with a leather band. If it had been available 2 1/4 years ago I would not have shelled out a bunch for a gold watch just to get the style.

Classic Man's Dress Watch
27 Nov 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
The watch face, leather band and the detailing make for an understated but classic man's dress watch that works with khakis for casual Fridays as well as with power ties and wool pin stripe suits for a meeting in the boardroom.
The watch case is a little thicker than other Citizen's watches I have owned but I am hoping the EcoDrive feature ends the battery replacement cycle which was the only problem I have ever had with Citizen's dress watches. Time will tell.

Excellent, solid, classic, reliable, elegant Citizen watch
30 Dec 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase
My title pretty much sums up all I have to say about this watch. I bought it 2 and a half years ago, and it has been ticking along everyday, Eco-drive working perfectly, with no scratches and no wear and tear, other than the standard wear of the strap. The dial is clear and crisp, retaining a nicely-laid-out look with only the 4, 8, and 12 hours actually enumerated, but the other hours clearly marked with clean gold lines. No problem at all with the day/date feature, except the occasional +1/-1 for months with 28 or 30 days. The strap is a beautiful brown, with elegant detailing that can be seen in the picture here if you look closely. Hats off to Citizen for making a top-quality, reliable, elegant timepiece at this price point. Definitely goes well with business attire as well as casual wear. I have received numerous compliments, with people marveling at how expensive it looked. I am even considering getting another one, as a gift for someone, or even just to be insured against Citizen possibly discontinuing this model someday in a fit of silliness ;) Worth every penny of the $99 I paid for it!
