Durable daily wearer - see time at a glance
I wear this watch a lot and its durable. Keeps good time. Over past 10 years, I have replaced the band.I love the black case and big numbers - tell time at a glance.Bad: Unfortunately the black case shows chips. But after 10 years for the money... it's a great watch. So it's my weekend motorcycle / camping watch now...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Simple Design
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2015
This is my first Citizen Eco-Drive and I am very pleased with the watch. . The watch face is a replica from a famous Bell&Ross watches. The watch has no fancy bells, whistles or alarms but the elegance of a simple easy to read face and not having to worry about battery dying, replacements, etc is a wonderful thing.

The watch hands and numbers have a gentle luminosity that is easy to read but is not overly bright as many others do. Contrary to the description, my watch has genuine leather (at least on the back side).

This is the perfect weekend watch!
Adding some pictures with different straps / bands.

Update 5-17-15
For those Spanish speaking; the watch also features the day of the week in Spanish and English. Sunday is red with DOM. =)

Update 7-02-16
Uploading some new pictures and conducted LUM Test. Many claim that this piece does not have a LUM. Well, the hands, the numbers and the hours markers do have a LUM. However, within less than 2 hours you could barely see them on a dark room; so they don't hold the charge for a long time. However if you are coming from the outside to a dark room, you can easily see all 3; the hands being the brightest.

Added a picture with a different leather strap. The watch comes alive with a better strap. I am enjoying the watch a lot more with a lighter distressed brown leather strap.

I've had this time piece for over a year now with frequent domestic wear and I cannot find anything wrong with what this piece from Citizen offers. Looks really good as a casual watch, I've change the leather band once just to give it a bit different look; it also looks really handsome with a Nato/Zulu Strap. (sorry for the pictures sideways it is an Amazon thing, pictures display correctly on my PC).

2nd year update: 08/17/2017
After 2 years from original purchase, this watch continues to look as good as it did when I bought it new. The Black Ionized finish is intact and scratch free. The dial is also scratch free. The watch keeps great time with the only minor hiccup that if I charge it directly on sunlight, it usually speeds up a bit before settling down to a gain of about .02 secs per day. This piece is part of my regular rotation specially for weekend wear. I replaced the leather strap with a strap from Clockwork Synergy. The OEM strap was not bad but totally recommend upgrading the leather; it raises the feel and comfort of the watch 100%. The price of this watch is a bargain, no batteries to be replaced.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've owned this watch for 7 years and it's still running
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022
I bought this watch in March of 2015 (off of Amazon) and I'm writing this review on July 2022. I just wanted to say that the watch is a good watch and that it has never stopped working. Best of all - no batteries to replace! I did go through a number of watch bands though - I'm on my second replacement watch band - but, this is over a 7 year period. As many have reported the glass scratches and my watch is no different. My watch has a lot of scratches. I have a tendency to orient the watch on my inner wrist which causes the face of the watch to come in contact with tables. For example as I type on a computer keyboard the watch is facing toward the table and touching the table. So, I've probably added more scratches because of this. The scratches just don't bother me though. I've snapped a few pictures (and hopefully I can upload to this review). In the last photo I pointed to watch to reflect the ceiling light - to make the scratches more visible. I'm old and need reading glasses so, for me, it's difficult to see the date without my glasses. Overall, and all things considered, I'd buy this watch again.
