Customers are satisfied with the appearance of the watch. They mention that it has exquisite looks, elegant in its simplicity, and is sleek but not too flashy. The stainless steel face and black face are elegant, making this easy to read. The watch itself is really nice, and doesn't look or feel cheap. It's a tough, no-nonsense, utilitarian looking time utensil that Abercrombie & Fitch made. The face style strikes a nice balance between casual and formal, with an easy to see dial and an eye-popping second hand.

Customers like the durability of the watch. They mention that it holds up well, it's a solid buy, and it will last a long time. The watch has a steel case and back, and a glass/mineral crystal. The band is comfortable and secure, and the strap is of decent quality. It's scratch resistant and holds up to low level water exposure. The hands appear well crafted, and there's no dust or specks under the glass.

Took me a while to enjoy the watch but once I changed the strap it became more comfortable. The watch is accurate and the lume is bright and will last through the night. I wear it for work and noticed that it doesn’t get in the way or I even have it on. I got the 18mm NATO and 18mm stainless steel bracelet and they both transform the Watch. The sides of the watch case are polished so if you want a bracelet that fits and matches get one with polished links on the side. The one thing I did notice is the day date complication has changed from English to Spanish but it’s unclear if I was user error or watch defect. I’ve worn it for a week and it never happened until I got to Friday and noticed the change from eng to sap. The crown is not screw down so maybe caught up on my sleeve and changed the date. You can’t hear it ticking like most watches at this price range. Super easy to read. All the indicators are bold enough to tell the time accurately. The model I have says eco drive and not WR100m and the caseback is not etched with the whole eco drive logo. It’s plain with the citizen logo at the top. Screw down caseback. It’s not a bad watch it’s just on the smaller size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delighted with this watch, EXACTLY what it should be!
Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2011
I completely do NOT understand the nay-sayers and their nagging critiques of this Citizen Eco-Drive.

"The band is too tight (or too short.)"
"The sweep second hand doesn't hit the marks within an atom's width."
"The flat crystal is too easily scratched."
"The luminosity isn't a neon sign like Indiglo!"
"It's too ugly to wear in the Boardroom."
"Why can't I set the day/date anytime I want?"
"The dial face is so small it makes me look gay."

I own a Hamilton Moon Watch, a Tudor Chronograph, and a Rolex Explorer II GMT. I bought the Rolex as a reward for myself in 1992 when I made Chief in the seagoing service and was still taking position star sights with a sextant. It has been my "daily driver" every day since ... except every three-to-four years when accuracy becomes erratic and I have to send it away to Rolex Dallas for a month for $750 service oiling, upkeep, and rehab maintenance. Now in the drawer waiting until I have funny funds for yet another service.

Once I received this Eco-Drive with two-day Amazon+ free delivery I put it on my wrist in direct sunlight for a few hours, set the time, and away we went. Set the day and date within seconds once I was outside the 9PM - 4AM window specified by the manual. Never take it off now. For a watch in this price range you can't engineer a set of switching gears for day/date change that can also handle an owner messing around with the settings by pulling out the crown at the same time. So wait until morning to do it. What's the big deal?

The luminous hands glow brightest just after you turn out the lights, which is perfect because at that time your eyes are still burnt out from staring at the LCD screen all night surfing Amazon reviews. When I wake up at 3:23:19 AM and my eyes have dark adapted again I can still see the hands including the sweep second hand. The Citizen canvas band is stiff until you wear it enough to break it in to the shape of your very own wrist, and then it sits very well when you wear it in Real Life® rolling your ulna and radius reaching for another beer. Just try to find the right-size jeweler's screwdriver to remove links from the Rolex diver's band to fit your wrist! (Even the damn band is multi-hundred$)

I am not NFL lineman big, but 6'1" @ 200 lbs. and nobody has made whimpering noises at me for wearing this watch. This is the kind of tough, no-nonsense, utilitarian looking time utensil that Abercrombie & Fitch made back in the day when Hemingway was finding leopards on Kilimanjaro or pulling in bluefin off the Finca before they sold out and began outfitting punkers and 1%ers on Wall Street. The Explorer II crystal hangs out enough MMs from the stainless case that it had a noticeable chip out of it before a year was out and I learned how it catches every steel rail or rock outcrop in sight. The 24-hour bezel paint flakes off EVERY YEAR wearing it in salt water or just your shower. The Citizen fits close, feels light, and catches nothing.

I am not sure of the press-fit crown and WR 100 meter rating, this is not an Oyster case and screw-down crown, but this is also not a $5,000 timepiece. I have not been swimming or diving with the Citizen. The quality of the rest of the watch is enough to give me confidence it will perform as advertised, and if it should not, I can buy another <$100.

This budget watch is thousands of miles and light years and many dollars ahead of any of its' true competition. I don't want a rubberbound button-filled busy ultramarathon Ironman digital display gizmo. I want a tough good-looking analogue watch that keeps excellent time, and I believe the promise that the Eco-Drive will keep it going, and going, and going ... while the rest of the stable appreciate in value on their way to or back from service.

I want a watch to tell me precise time, and maybe the day and date while it is at it. Not jewelry. Seriously, buy this watch.
