By Anne M. Hudson (Newton, MA USA)
I wanted an elegant, reliable wristwatch without a lot of flash to replace an M & Co. watch of which I was very fond, which was stolen. After searching through dozens of ads and reviews, I decided on this one. It's beautiful and works flawlessly. I also appreciate the solar-powered feature.

 "High quality watch" 2010-03-11
By Flying Dutchman (Sparta, MO USA)
I've got this solid build, solar powered, sports watch for little over a month now. After 5 weeks of use it's only 2 seconds off, which is very good. The watch is a pleasure to wear and even easy to read in the dark. 11 hours of sunlight is enough to charge it for half a year and office light will keep it going too, according the manual. Well that's easy enough and so far I did not take any special precautions to charge it and wear it to the job and every where else. The mineral glass must be pretty hard because I already hit a few times quite hard and was afraid that I scratched it, but no it is still like new. The strap seems a little longer than on other watches but on my wrist (6-3/4" circ.) it is no problem at all and fits great and comfortable. A minor thing that I don't like is the small date window, without my reading glasses I can't see the date well. But besides that it is a 5 star watch and for me this watch is definitely a keeper!

 "Beautiful, Well Made Dive Watch - Never Needs Batteries" 2009-10-29
By Blair (USA)
I purchased this watch just a few days ago, so I won't be able to speak about it's longevity or timekeeping, but I will tell you a bit about the watch which in turn may aid your buying decision. (I am holding back the 5th star until I have some months of use with the watch).



First, this is a very solid, somewhat heavy pro diver's watch (but not as heavy as Seiko's classic dive watches, such as the "Orange Monster" #SKX781). This watch was made with scuba and skin divers in mind. But surfers, swimmers, water skiiers and other sports and outdoor enthusiasts would like it too. While it is rated for 300 meter depths, it is not meant for helium dives. Of course, like me, you may not be a diver but still want a sturdy, good looking, solid watch that you can use in wet or dirty conditions, requires a minimum of maintenance, and will take some punishment along the way. While it is too early to say definitively, so far I am impressed with the weight, feel and solid construction.



It is a handsome watch, with alternating grey and black "waves" on the dial, which when viewed in the light, is really gorgeous. The hands and dial are easy to read, and they glow quite well in the dark, especially if exposed directly to a light source just before the lights go out. The date feature is nice, though the window and type size seems a tad small to me. The sides of the one way rotating bezel are highly polished steel, and very good looking. By the way, it's absolutely silent.



The wide rubber strap is comfortable and attractive -- but take note: the band that comes with this watch is extra long -- made to go over a wet suit, or other article of clothing, like a long sleeve cotton pullover shirt, for example (The band is nearly 11 inches, end to end. By comparison, a typical man's dress watch band might be 6.5 to 7.5 inches). You can certainly wear the watch on your bare wrist, but if you have an average size wrist, chances are good you will see the end of the strap facing up at you when it is closed around your wrist. Not a big deal, but non-divers may not like this.



Due to the design of this watch, only the Citizen brand rubber strap that comes with this model will fit the watch. No other brand will fit. So if you do buy this watch, and plan to keep it, do yourself a favor and buy an extra strap or two for future use. Rubber does eventually wear out and break, so eventually you will need a spare.



I am not as enamored (yet) of the Eco-Drive light powered system that needs no batteries, only for the reason that you do need to put some thought into how you will keep the watch charged. For example, to fully charge it you will need to expose it to sunlight for many hours or to incandescent light (bulb) for even more. Now of course you can place it under a lamp (not less than 20" from the lamp to the watch dial) and leave it to charge. Or you can place it near a window* that gets sun for most of the day. But however you do it, you will need to keep this in mind. The good news is that, fully charged, this watch can go up to 6 months -- in the dark -- without an additional charge! And of course, if you are out playing tennis or golf outdoors, or even just out for a walk, it's automatically recharging itself. (If you keep the watch covered with your sleeve however, it is my understanding that you are not recharging)



I will provide updates when I better understand what exactly is needed. One more thing -- the capacitor, or energy storing "battery" in this watch NEVER needs replacement. It is simply a temporary storage device, holding the electrical energy that you direct into it via the light sources mentioned above. Furthermore, you need never open the watch to replace a battery, thus the watch stays factory sealed, providing much better protection from moisture, dust and other foreign contaminants.



I suppose the primary benefit of Eco-Drive is fewer batteries into the landfills (a good thing); on the other hand, putting in a battery every 2 to 4 years was never an inconvenience for me.



Overall, a handsome, eye catching watch that many men would love to own, especially as a weekend watch, a watch to wear if you make a living outdoors, or just knocking around the house on Saturday. This is a "guy" watch, which looks especially great when you're wearing short sleeves. I would not say that it would pair well with a tuxedo, but hey, you could always start a new trend.



Psssst. Ladies, don't tell the guys, but this model is available in a women's size too. You can also get it with an orange band instead of black.



Hope this has been helpful. Feel free to ask questions and I will try to answer.





UPDATE (March 8, 2010): I've lived with the watch for several months now, and I have adjusted to the concept of a solar powered watch. There's really nothing to it. Just leave it out on a table or near a window that you know gets good sun. (A couple of times over several months should do it.) The watch does the rest. I am very happy with it and would recommend it highly.









*Don't put it on a car dashboard in the sun. The owners manual warns that this could wreck the watch.

One of the most advanced chronograph watches made by Citizen, the Eco-Drive Calibre 2100 men's titanium watch also offers stylish lines that nicely complement both business and casual couture. The chronograph timing function includes 60-minute, 12-hour, and independent second-hand subdials, as well as a center sweep 1/5-second hand. It also has a reset button that instantly returns all the chronograph registers to zero. The watch case and bracelet band links are made of titanium--which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies.

This large, round watch has a thin, flattened bezel with an exterior tachymeter reading in gray. The patterned dark gray dial face is accented by black subdials, and it offers white luminous Dauphine hands (with seconds hand) and a date function at 4 o'clock. The bracelet band is joined by a push-button clasp. Other features include a screw-back case, screw-down crown, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance to 660 feet (200 meters).

This watch is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously.

 "Very Nice Chronograph" 2010-03-07
By I love Music (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
I purchased this watch 4 years ago, still going strong and looking as good as the day I purchased. Price has gone up since then. But more than one occasion has been mistaken for a Breitling, which was in fact my inspiration - but out of my price range.

 "Almost Perfect Daily-Wearer" 2009-10-24
By W. Gross (Erie, PA USA)
With this watch, Citizen came very close to making a product that would be perfect and truly compete with many better Swiss offerings.

+ The titanium case and band keep the mass low. This watch, although bigger than my Tag Heuer Aquaracer, is actually lighter.

+ The chronograph has a crisp feel and action to it. Flyback operation is a nice touch.

- The mineral glass crystal is the major negative here. If this watch came with a sapphire crystal, it would have received five stars.

+/- The alarm is a nice feature, but it is not particularly loud. If you are awake and in an office or home setting, its volume is sufficient.

+ The band is great and has only one minor flaw: The piece of metal at the clasp that connects to the first inside link is stamped sheet metal. This is a weaker design than the rest of the band, and also looks a little cheap. Given the high finish quality of the rest of the band, Citizen should look at how other companies (Tag, Movado, etc.) make this transition (with a solid link), and eliminate this weak point of their design.

+ The lume is quite sufficient. No complaints here.

+ Overall quality is superb.

+ Eco-drive has been great. Once the indicator hit the max mark, it hasn't moved since!

Overall, I am quite satisfied.



UPDATE:

At six months of ownership and wearing it most days, I have two comments:

* The coating on the titanium does indeed wear off. It doesn't look too bad, but it does happen.

* The crystal did get a minor scratch already. Hard to see, but I know it's there. If it were sapphire, there would probably be no scratch.

 "A very beautiful watch..." 2009-10-17
By Juan P. Gonzalez (Somewhere in the World...)
Do you want an elegant watch? A watch that can be worn with anything, Titanium made and really beautiful... this is how I would describe my new Calibre 2100. It came fully discharged but in about 2 hours it will be fully charged under sun light and ready to be worn! The "official" picture is not as good as it looks in real life, check the customers-uploaded pictures, they are more realistic and give a better glimpse of it.

 "simply the best!!!!!" 2009-03-26
By Sebastian Olejniczak
Had few watches before this one. Got this about a month ago. I have used it every day since i received it. I suggest to shop on ebay if you are trying to find a good deal, saved over 50% off the retail. the craftsmanship of this watch is mindblowing. I never had a watch that i want to wear everyday, I do with this one. I will guarantee that the pictures on the web do not give this watch any justice. If it's been out in the sun for few minutes, and you bring it inside, its got the most beatyful blue dial dots to it. You will not be dissapointed and if you are, got 5 years warranty. unheard of. Buy with confidance. best looking watch I have ever seen. I suggest to pay the extra $40 or $50 and get Titanium cuz its lighter (significantly) and it is skrach proof. I work delivering furniture to peoples houses so the watch gets bang up arround quite a bit. Month and a half later and its still looks like brand new. Some say the crystal is eazy to break or scratch. I say its bunch off bull. Had some big metal parts and door frames hit by, make me think that the glass is done. Not at all. Very impressive and stylish for any occasion. Big dial looks good on a bigger or smaller hand. Absolutley best, hands down.

 "stylish watch" 2009-01-12

this watch is a very stylish watch that can be worn for business casual events. i got compliments from all my friends and co-workers on the choice. the light charging function adds to its "charming" effect and makes it more eco-friendly. surprisingly the bracelet is extremely light at first i thought it was poor quality aluminum but it turns out to be titanium. i heard that one draw back is the glass which is not scratch proof, till now i have not scratched it, and hopefully will never do!

 "My Favorite" 2010-01-03
By Jim (Shelton, CT United States)
I am an avid citizen watch supporter (and purchaser). To date, this is my most favorite watch ever purchased. It looks amazing on your wrist or even just sitting there. It is big, but not too big. The carbon fiber bezel adds a great touch. Both a polished and rugged look. I would recommend adding this to any collection.

 "What A Great Watch!" 2009-12-03
By L. J. Clark (Fairfax, VA United States)
My Promaster Carbon showed up a few days ago. I've been using a Citizen Skyhawk for about 8 or 9 years. The two greatest features of that watch are the Eco-Drive solar power and the really slick way you can change timezones. The Promaster takes all the best features of the Skyhawk, adds the radio controlled accuracy, and improves on some things.



It is a bigger watch, but the dial is easier to read. It has luminous marks for all the hours, plus a luminous reference spot on the rotating bezel. The hands are nice and big and have good luminous characteristics.



The Promaster has a feature on the bracelet that allows you to expand the size from you normal adjustment in case you need to wear it over one layer of clothing. This watch has the Citizen fold-over latch which helps prevent accidental openings of the bracelet.





One thing I never needed/used on the Skymaster was the rotating calculator thingy -- which just cluttered things up and didn't rotate all that well anyway. I'll let the pilots up front figure out the time:distance stuff -- hopefully they won't be squinting at teeny-tiny numbers on a watch bezel.



To change modes on the Promaster you to pop the crown out one click, which solves the problem that the Skyhawk has -- self mode-changing through normal wearing (modes change with the crown in the home position).



Since buying the Sykhawk I've been a fan of Citizen watches. The Skyhawk lost maybe 15 seconds a year the first 5 years of use (checked with a GPS). Eco-Drive just makes sense. I've had Seikos which had some of the most bizarre controls, and Casio seems to overreach with features that are flashy, but which don't work all that well -- and that you probably don't need anyway.



The Promaster is one of those watches you look forward to using for many years to come.

 "Best Watch I Have Ever Owned!" 2009-11-21
By Rusty Bolt (Texas)
I wanted a classy watch that was highly functional. I travel a great deal across several time zones and needed something that would work for me. I also have a fetish about accuracy. Easy to change and swap home time zones and the atomic time signal keeps my watch accurate. The solar power thing is awesome and keeps a good reserve. It is complicated to a degree, but a bit more intuitive than my other Citizen. This U600 movement is really tops. The watch itself is, well, massive. Extremely masculine and certainly makes a statement. My wrist is relatively small, but it was no trouble with a watch pin pusher to remove a couple of links. The clasp allows minor adjustment so you can get it to the perfect fit with no trouble at all. Some have complained the LEDs don't light up the entire dial, but don't believe it was intended to. Still gives enough light to see the hands in the dark in case the luminescence has gone down.

 "Promaster Carbon Chrono an excellent pick!" 2009-09-26
By Bryan (Wisconsin, USA)
Citizen's Eco-drive Promaster Carbon Chronograph is by far one of the best watches I've ever owned. Citizen has imbued it with both easy functionality and rugged style. The pictures online are great but really don't do it justice. Upon receiving my Promaster Carbon Chronograph, I immediately went online and utilized Citizen's interactive instructions to set the watch. While this is not entirely necessary, Citizen does provide a booklet and mini-disc with the instructions in the box, it is a lot more entertaining to follow along as your watch does exactly what the one pictured on the screen does. It only took a few minutes to check the Promaster Carbon Chronograph's dial alignment, use the radio signal to automatically set the watch, and then set up the remaining options to my liking.



Again, the the Promaster Carbon Chronograph's style is amazing. The carbon fiber detail provides pleasing aspect to the bezel. In addition, the hands and markers on the dial are extremely luminescent and show up nicely in the dark while bright orange LEDs provide light for the two LCD screens.



Now all I have to do is keep myself from buying the Promaster SST Titanium as well!

 "Geek and sleek... yes you can" 2009-12-26
By E. J. Lapham IV (Portland, OR)
I just got this for Christmas from Fiance and I gotta say I love it!



It's larger than I expected. It's also heavier than I expected. In other words, it's a girthy machine.



I also wasn't aware of the asymetry of the case. The right side is circular, but the left side is artistically slanted, flairing outwards to the inside of the wrist. I must say, from a industrial designer aspect, this unexpected aesthetic absolutely makes the watch. It's subtle surfacing like this that makes you look at it just a little bit longer.



As for the functionality, I was a little worried when I saw how thick the manual was. But, the original packaging also came with a mini CD ROM that has a wonderful tutorial to get the watch set up. It takes you through the time, then the date, the alarm, the chrono, the tachymeter, and how the eco-drive system functions. I must say, it's much easier to use than I expected.



I would like to thank a previous reviewer on here for suggesting the black face. This is definitely the model to get. The brushed alluminum, black face, white dials provide class and contrast. It's very easy to read. I'm glad I didn't ask for the white face (my first choice).



Overall, this is an exceptional piece for the price. It has that perfect blend of geek and sleek that's a tricky line to tread.

 "Citizen's Calibri 2100" 2009-08-06
By Thomas R. Rogers (Burlington, VT)


I'm a watch lover and have several high end watches (it's my thing, what can I say). With that said, whenever I get the chance I've got the Calibre on. I love the look (the chronograph is awsome), the weight, and the general overall feel of the watch on my wrist... It's a joy! Oh yea, it keeps incredible time and is as good as anything on the market in this price range. I bought one for my son as well!!!

 "Solid, attractive, and well-made" 2009-03-05
By The Clock
I bought this watch about 2 or 3 years ago, being ready for my first "nice" watch, a step up from the Casio and Timex stuff.



My reqirements were 200m water resistance, a chronograph, date funtion, all-analog features, white hands on a black face, and a stainless or titanium case, and that led me to this machine, which has an outstanding alarm feature and lumeniscent hands and dial to boot.



The glow-in-the-dark hands are REALLY bright, and hours after the lights go out you can still read them.



It's a bit heavy and bulky, but that was part of its appeal to me. I cannot recommend this watch if you demand light weight and thin, though. The chronograph and the watch itself hold accuracy well, it's simple to use, and it looks good for dress or casual. I get asked about it often, and it's functional.



I am impressed with it's accuracy. Against an atomic clock it gains only one second in two weeks. Thats about 26 seconds a year, which is good for a wristwatch, especially a sub-500 dollar watch.



I am both a pilot and a diver, and this could serve either role, although I would not risk it in deep water simply because I like it too much; despite the depth rating, it's better to use a dedicated dive watch.



Overall, I am very satisfied with this watch, and with Citizen Eco-drive watches in general. This is a real "guy's" watch, with it's look and feel. I feel I got my money's worth, and if the watch is as rugged and well-made as it has shown so far, I will probably still be using it for many years to come.

 "Outstanding timepiece" 2009-01-05
By JB (Eastern USA)
After owning this Citizen Eco-Drive drive for a short period, I simply have to echo the other reviews on here and say that this is an outstanding watch. It's large, bold styling looks great on my (large) wrist. It is solid without being overly heavy.



The alarm function is a nice bonus, though it is definitely not loud enough to wake up anyone but the lightest sleepers (in case you had considered that). The stopwatch feature actually does come in handy on occasion. And for those who have only dealt with traditional quartz watches in the past, it is a pleasure to have the Eco-Drive feature and not have to concern yourself with periodic battery replacements.



Again, a great watch, and highly reccomended.

 "This is a great watch!" 2008-12-03
By Alex Nichols (Seattle, WA USA)
Initially I was hesitant about this watch because I noticed that some people said that watch was heavy and too big, however, I am very pleased with how it fits.



Before buying it I went to Macy's and tried on the titanium version, which felt alright.



After buying it I took it to Fred Meyer to get 3 links taken off. The watch tech said that the band is prone to breaking later down the road due to some special pins that it has. Although the watch was not charged very much when I arrived, putting it on the window sill during one sunny weekend charged it fully.



After a couple months of wearing the watch to work 5 days a week I have grown to love this watch. The weight and size is perfect for my average wrist. I highly recommend getting this watch.

 "Love this watch!!" 2010-03-03
By J. Evans
Sure the canvas strap is cheap looking and uncomfortable, but you can just replace it as I did, with a nice leather or metal one for $15-$20 on ebay. As for the watch itself, it has the perfect balance of size and heft, while still maintaining a very understated and clean look. Although the case and dial are large at 46 mm(midsized by todays standards), it does not over-power my thin 7.25" wrist. It is not cartoonish looking like many of the new oversized styles with thier huge 50+mm cases and busy dials. It can be worn as either a sport or dress watch.



Pros: Reliable citizen movement, eco-drive technology (no more batteries), 200m water resistancy, a nice clean looking chronograph, and some of the most intense and long lasting lume I have ever seen, makes this a steal for $112. I liked this watch so much that I bought all 4 colors (blue, black, brown and white), because I think this model is being discontinued.



Cons: canvas strap, mineral crystal (not sapphire)



Verdit: excellent value (great watch with many features at a very low pricepoint).

 "very happy with this watch" 2010-03-04
By Happy Shopper
This is a great watch. The diamonds are pave and very understated but classy. Do not buy this watch if you're looking for something flashy. Classic, dependable Citizen watch and have received many compliments. So far, I have no complaints and have had it for about 2 months. I would recommend it.

 "Might be great, if they didn't sell us a used watch" 2009-12-20
By C. Covalucci (Tucson, AZ)
The watch is really quite attractive and the price is reasonable. Rather than using a shady, unreliable vendor, we selected Amazon to fulfill my wife's Xmas dream. Instead, what arrived, was clearly used, poorly packaged and not in the league of a reputable vendor. As it is now the 20th of December all we can expect is a refund and a 'thanks for playing' but this is a trust issue. After countless Amazon orders, my faith is shaken and I would caution others to beware of their watch deals.

Great watch. I was so impressed with this Citizen watch, I bought another Eco-Drive watch in black. This is a great watch for the price.

 "Nice unisex watch" 2010-03-03
By D. Hentze (United States)
Although this watch is listed as a man's watch, I purchased this watch at a jewelery store as a gift for my wife. At the store, it was on display as a woman's watch. The watch is very nice, and is suitable for either a man or a woman. It seems more like a woman's watch though. As someone else pointed out, the face is small, thin, and light. My wife really likes it. It has plenty of nice features, is easy to read, and isn't overly expensive.

 "What I was waiting for...." 2009-04-15
By modmom (Sacramento, CA)
I have been looking for a watch for over a year now and am very happy with this purchase. The band is very narrow and I was able to try on a similar one at Macy's (different face but same band size) to get an idea of how it would look. I really prefer the mother-of-pearl face - each one is unique. The stones are modest and seem to be set well. They are a nice accent without overpowering the face. The watch and band are very thin and feel similar to wearing a Longines. The watch arrived with all of it's original Citizen packaging and documentation. My husband has had an eco-drive for a few years already and has been very happy with it, I think I will be too.

The Citizen Eco-Drive Aqualand stainless steel men's chronograph watch will make a powerful statement when worn with both business and casual dress, but it's made to take the punishment of deep-water diving with its 660 feet (200 meters) water resistance.

It's completed by a comfortable, durable rubber strap. Other features include a date display at 3 o'clock, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and screw-back case, screw-down crown.

This watch is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously.

 "Solid dive watch and fun gadget" 2010-01-08
By The Clock
This is the second Citizen Eco-Drive watch I have purchased, having been very pleased with my Caliber 2100. I was looking for a nice dive watch with an analogue dial, a rotating bezel, and good luminosity. I have a fondness for mechanical watches, but for sport diving I wanted a cool gadget with a depth guage to use as a back-up, and those only come in electronic watches. Since I already trusted Citizen's workmanship and design, I picked this one out.



The watch has a tough stainless steel case which is large enough to be a good dive watch but not as ridiculously large as some of the ugly watches on the market. The case is not very thin, but because of the design with its beveled case back and bezel ring, it feels thin and it's not a problem putting my hand in my pocket. The two-tone rotating bezel has a solid, snappy feel to it, but is not too tight to turn with dive gloves on. The function buttons should not be pushed under water, but there is no reason to as the depth guage activates automatically when wet and the bezel is external. The brass crown is a strong screw-down device which sticks out a bit far, which is good for grasping but bad for catching on things.



The dial is a bit busy, but the minute and hour hands are not too hard to find at a glance, and the luminious hands and markers are very bright and highly visible. Unlike the Caliber 2100, however, the luminous paint is a green color rather than blue, and while it is very bright, it does not stay bright as long. In deep water it's still easy to see and shining a flashlight on it for a few seconds brightens it back up.



The date is easy to read, and so is the red multi-function hand, which serves as the depth guage needle when submerged, when dry as a battery charge indicator, and in chrono mode as a stopwatch second hand. The bottom subdial is the small seconds indicator for normal time-telling, and the left-hand subdial is a 24-hr hand. The top subdial is the chronograph minutes dial, which runs to a maximum of 50 minutes.



The chronograph function is odd since it's not very useful. To activate the chrono mode you have to hold down the lower function button for a few seconds and then wait for the multifunction hand to wind around to the zero position, and only then can you start the chrono by pushing the upper function button. The chrono only runs for 50 minutes. If you don't start it after a few minutes it unwinds and goes back to normal mode. This means you can't start it quickly and you can't keep it at the ready for very long. Fortunately, this function is not needed for diving but is only an extra feature.



The rubber strap is long enough to fit around the wrist of most wet suit arms, although a thick wet suit and gloves together make it difficult. There is a no-decompression limits table on the strap, a sturdy stainless buckle and two stainless keepers.



I've found the watch to be very accurate, as expected for an Eco Drive. It's comfortable and fairly good-looking, and the anti-reflective mineral crystal is effective. I put it to the test in deep, murky, ice-cold quarry lake water where I took it to a maximum depth of 75 feet and repeated shallower dives thereafter for 2 days. The depth guage worked as advertised, matching my dive rig guage, and the last dive recorded feature also worked great. The dial was acceptably readable even in the deep murkiness. I've worn it in swimming pool and once I took it into a hot spa before I realized what I was doing, but it didn't seem to harm it, although I don't recommend that kind of abuse for any watch.



I am very pleased with this watch. It's not as upscale or fashionable as a Tag Huer or an Omega Seamaster, but it's got a quality high-accuracy Citizen quartz movement, it's light-powered so you don't have to open the watertight case for a battery change, and it's got the depth guage, which is one of the most useful and cool complications a dive watch can have. Even if you already have one of the Swiss luxury divers, this might make a good solid back-up watch for the next dive trip, and it's not bad-looking in the office, either.

 "Citizen Watch Review" 2009-12-10
By Jonathan Santucci
Very good watch to for a general purpose watch. I previously owned the older model of the aqualand from 1999, and had nothing but smooth sailing with it. The only problem I would say is that there are not more local service centers in the US, even though there main facility is in CA. Hopefully with the solar battery, it will last longer than the previous model.

By J. Spicer (Wyoming)
I like this because, while it has the "bling" factor and looks great, it's not so huge that it seems overstated. The metal strap bands tend to catch my armhair a little, but the rubber band is comfortable.

 "nice watch" 2009-02-09
By R. Heiser (Oxford, MI)
only had it for a short time, but it seems like a great watch. chronograph is only in min/sec increments (no tenths), so if you're looking for that you'll be disappointed. stays at the "LV1" charge-level most of the time, but will sneak up to "LV2" on a sunny day. haven't used the dive function (and don't really plan to). seconds hand is kinda small, but the 24-hr hand is a nice touch. bought this watch to replace my last citizen watch, which i purchased in january 1988 and finally retired it in march 2008, so i hope this one will last as long.
