Let's face it. Nobody needs a watch... to tell time these days with all of the other options available. Why wear a watch when you can just glance at your phone? Maybe because you would rather look at something more insteresting, such as this Citizen Eco-Drive World Time watch. If you're looking a t watches, it must mean that you appreciate them and enjoy wearing them. So, here's what surprised me about this watch. First, when you set the time by pulling the crown to the second position and allowing the second hand to position itself at 12:00, you advance the hands by turning the crtown. Nothing to unusual there, except that the hands advance one precise click at a time. This helps a great deal with positioning the hands (particularly the minute hand) precisely where they need to be according to your reference time source. When you pull the crown to the first position, you can advance the second hand to point to any of the 24 time zones available. The hands automatically advance to that time zone. Very handy for travellers. The drawback is it's size. At 45 mm, the case is very large and may not be something you want to wear on your wrist if under 7 inches or so. I justified this by recognizint the large size as a nod to the old German flieger watches, which were sometimes upwards of 50 mm to increase their visibility to pilots. There is very much an aviation tradition reflected in the dial, with the large numbers and indices. The perpetual calendar can be a little tricky to set, but once it's done, you never have to worry about advancing the date at the end of a 30 day month. Overall, I really like this watch. The price was very reasonable and I am enjoying it as part of my collection.

This is an attractive casual w...atch. Goes great with jeans and a t-shirt. The color of the band goes perfectly with the blue face. The numbers are nice and big and easy to read. Unless you have perfect vision you might not be able to read the date or the small lettering around the circumference. But it looks cool and it is a great size.

I was looking for a casual dress watch and this one cau...ght my eye. I have owned my Citizen eco-drive dive watch for about four years and it is a flawless work horse. I prefer military time and this watch provides me with a quick reference. The eco-drive works fantastic. The leather band is rugged yet beautifully functional. The buckle is shiny and masculine. I love it and wear it a lot!

I like this watch ve...ry much on two things: 1. Perpetual Calendar 2. Navy blue dial with yellow-brown strap. Not to mention it is eco-drive. The only negative thing "to me" is it is big for my wrist. I whish there is a 41mm version

Beautiful watch with a very nice leather s...trap. Setting the calendar and world time is not user friendly at all. Complex to say the least.
