Eco-Drive | Purposeful Power

The sustainable way to power your watch—no batteries required. Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive technology powers your watch using the most renewable energy: light.

Light to Energy

Uses a renewable natural resource by converting any natural or artificial light to energy, which is then stored in a permanently rechargeable lithium-ion cell.

Energy Storage

Keeps surplus energy in a rechargeable power cell. Designed to charge not just from the sun, but also from everyday light sources like indoor fluorescents and desk lamps.

Recharges Continuously

Runs for months—even in darkness—with no need for regular battery replacement, so your watch can run forever and you never have to worry about it stopping.

Great Watch, Great Price, and Stylish
Snatched this up for $167.39 from Amazon Warehouse deals. Only catch was it was missing the instruction booklet, which didn't matter because I just went to the Citizen website and downloaded the instructions.This is a great watch at a great price. I took it to my local jeweler (which you likely will have to do) to have a link and a half removed (which cost $8 and took less than 5 minutes) and now it fits perfect! I highly recommend.And for all those reviewers who are upset about it not being illuminated in some way, this product is more about style than anything. I have a Casio G-Shock Solar Atomic that I wear for utility/activity purposes, so I would recommend one of those watches if your top requirement is function.This is more a professional work/dress up/going out watch. In other words, this is my "grown-up" watch. For all of you salt-of-the-earth hipsters, this is a high quality analog watch. It actually has gears and moving parts. I recommend going to time.gov when you set it.

1.0 out of 5 stars SMALL LINT INSIDE CASING! Citizen Eco-Drive!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2022
I am very happy and very unhappy with this purchase.
1. The watch came on time which was great, but it came like someone had already opened it, took the plastic covering sheets off the watch, wore it for date night and sent it back.
2. Although it looked like it was admired already, the watch looked beautiful. I wanted this watch all damn year only to ONLY BE DISAPPOINTED!!
3. Wore the watch for a week to only find out THERE IS A SMALL WHITE LINT INSIDE THE WATCH!!
4. INSIDE THE MAIN CASING THERE IS A SMALL WHITE LINT!! I am not blaming AMAZON at all on this issue.
but I am Very disappointed in Citizen! I thought their watches were impenetrable! Isn't that why they are "expensive'?!
5. Can't believe Citizen would sell me an expensive watch that isn't even worth the price I paid! I have G-Shocks that costed less that are basically worth the price of this Timepiece!
6. I will be contacting Citizen because I have registered the watch on their website. This is such a disgrace because now I'm guessing I'm going to have to spend MORE $$$ and time just to get this LINT fixed.
*Overall view of the watch is beautiful, performs flawlessly. Love the blackness and the dark grey. The features are great, the small details are even better.
*Will be updating
