I like the 2 tone look, especially the gold accents which add more luxury look to the watch. My top reasons for picking it were radio controlled to have atomic clock accuracy, Citizen's quality, and inexpensive for a designer or higher end watch. I researched the movement of the watch as my first step. I've had name brand designer watches that aren't accurate. I needed a watch that I could count on for telling time! Swiss movements and Japanese (seiko, casio, citizen) appeared similar in terms of quality and accuracy. But, Japanese movements are far less expensive. Casio's are not dressy or formal, so that left Seiko and Citizen for me. Citizen had the best options for radio controlled syncing with the atomic clock, and great pricing, and perfect styling. I was sold! I love my purchase! It's also water resistant rated for everyday showering, swimming, and snorkeling. I don't plan on testing it, but it's nice to know I don't have to worry about it around water. Read full review

This watch is accurate to the second and looks stylish doing it. The display is easy to read which is a problem for some watches costing much more. The only reason I gave it 3 instead of 5 stars is that you can't charge the battery on indoor light and in the short days of winter you can't charge it outside in the limited sun either( even if there was enough light you can't leave it out in less than 14 degree temperatures). In the summer the watch will get too hot in direct sunlight. The only answer was to buy a product made specifically made for this problem - an led light that put out 15,0000 to 30,000 Lux. You need to leave it charge for 35 to 45 hours before you can use the watch reliably without worrying that it will stop under your long sleeve shirt or over night. Once fully charged it's good to go. You don't want it to stop because this watch is complicated to reset manually. I live on the east coast so the atomic time keeping is erratic. If you get a reliable atomic time keeping signal it will reset the watch for you daily at 2:00 AM. For me the accuracy and style was enough to overcome the downside and I would buy it again.Read full review

I love this watch. Very stylish. I get complemented on it from my customers all the time. I have always bought cheap watches and replaced them once or twice a year. Citizen is all my brother n law would wear. He passed away about 12 years ago. About a week ago I was going threw his stuff and found his watch. A few secs in the sun and it started right up. The leather band had to be replaced (no big deal). I gave the watch to his nephew. I was so impressed I bought one and loving it. Now my thoughts on this watch. It was kinda hard getting the watch set up. The video on citizen web site is a little off you need to zero the watch before setting the time. I set the watch in the sun about 4 hours before I started messing with it. ( I felt it needed a decent charge to start with) the hands are easy to read in the dark. The face of the watch is in my mind the perfect size. So far zero complaints Read full review

I'm really impressed with the Citizen range of Eco-Drive watches. They charge really quickly lasts a long time and very readable in the dark. Slightly complicated to set up but once done it's a great watch for the active individual and no messing around with batteries. They compare favourably to the Seiko solar watches with their performance. Watch the prices, they have some good deals come up every now and then.

i really like this watch, its quite attractive. After 40 years of timex that seemed to be dying faster and faster, i thought i'd try a watch that they claim can last 20 years. So far i am pretty happy with it. i like the Atomic Clock feature and i really needed an alarm. Too bad there is no count-down timer, but its analog, so you can only add so many features.
