OK, I just got the watch today, so I can't speak to durability. But there are some things to consider if you're thinking about this watch.
First, the Amazon description shows the watch as being water resistant to 99 feet. The actual information packaged with the watch, is clear that the watch is merely water resistant to 3 atmospheres, which permits minor exposure such as you'd encounter in the rain or when washing face or hands. It is definitely NOT for use while swimming, showering, etc. I'd like to see this corrected in the description.
Second, in other reviews of other Citizen watches, I've read about people adjusting the bracelet and being unable to keep the pins in place. This is how it works:
1. I definitely recommend purchasing one of the bracelet adjustment tools listed on Amazon. For $6 I got a "heavy duty" one that, while definitely not heavy duty, was adequate to the task of adjusting my bracelet.
2. Pay attention to the little arrows on the inside of the bracelet when you push the pins out with the tool. You'll push the pins about 1/4 inch out, then pull them the rest of the way with a pair of pliers. I used my Leatherman tool quite successfully for this.
3. When you pull out the pins, be on the lookout for tiny little metal "sleeves" less than 1/4 inch long that will fall out of the links. These are important. You may want to spread a white cloth or some paper, and work over that surface so you can find anything that falls out. Cloth may be best because it will discourage bouncing (which will have you on the floor with a flashlight while your coworkers wonder what you're doing under your desk).
4. When re-assembling the bracelet, hold the little sleeve thingie with your needle-nose pliers and slip it into one of the holes on the "2-prong" side of the link. It will slip easily into one, and won't go into the other at all.
5. Slip the sleeve into the prong that will accept it, keep the link upright so the sleeve doesn't fall out, line up the links, and slip the pin into the link. It will go a short way in, then you'll need to tap it gently (I used the pliers hinge on my Leatherman). I tapped it in a little ways, then, when I got nervous about marring the link if I got too close, I turned it over and pressed the pin in the rest of the way by pushing it down on my desk.
6. Finally, when the pin was flush, I used the bracelet adjustment tool again to push the pin in just a little further so it is the same depth as the other pins.
7. Now the pins won't fall out, and your watch won't fall onto the sidewalk or into a puddle of water where it will demonstrate just how water resistant it really is.
I'll update my review if it turns out I don't like the watch after all. I'm taking away one star because Amazon got the description wrong, even though the Citizenwatch website got it right.

I waited several months to write this review, just in case my first impression changed. But after several months, I am still thrilled with this watch. I have had several people compliment me on it since buying it (without me pointing out that it was new or anything like that). It looks slightly darker in person than in the pictures on Amazon, which makes the shiny outer band really stand out. The hands and hour markers catch the light like jewels, without looking the least bit feminine. The links in the band are nearly seamless. It weighs so little that I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to stainless steal. Personally, I wear it for fancy occasions (weddings, etc), professionally (in a business office), and casually (though admittedly I am a bit "preppy"). It goes with just about anything. I did manage to get one very small scratch in the band after only a few weeks (nobody but me would ever even notice), but for the most part it still looks as good as the day I bought it. I would highly recommend this watch to anybody who wants something a little dressier than most of the "sport" models out there, while still being casual enough to wear on a daily basis. Never having to replace the batteries is just a nice perk.
As for the negative reviews on Amazon, I saw them both listed for other models also, so I question whether they apply to this specific model, or were just spammed against all Citizen Eco-Drive watches (with so few reviews, it causes the average score on this particular model to be ridiculously low). My guess is that somebody had a bad experience with a different model, and at least one reviewer probably did not pay attention to the level of water resistance indicated for his model--nice watches like these won't hold up under water as well as a ten-dollar timex.

I have had nothing but issues with my Citizens Titanium Eco-Drive Watch.
I was originally impressed by its appearance and I was mistakenly under the impression that Citizens made a reliable quality product.
After about 3 -6 Months I noticed Condensation in the Watch.It would go away after a while but always came back.
I took it to a watch repair shop,but they said that it had to go back to Citizens in CA.
So I mailed the watch to them thinking that at most there would be a nominal fee.
They want $186.00 to repair the watch.So basically including freight it will cost $200.00
I will NEVER buy another Citizens product.

I own a Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium Watch, and I have had nothing but problems with it. Within a few years the band was badly fading and falling apart (replacement cost over $200), and the crystal scratched easily and needed replaced ($60). After spending the money to fix the crystal, two weeks later the movement completely quit (repair cost $172). Anytime you send the watch in for service, it takes weeks just to get an estimate. It then takes another two weeks to get the watch back. If you want a decent looking dress watch, pick another brand. The Citizen brand durability and warranty is inexcusable.

This watch is obviously well made, even upon opening the package. The spaces between links are small, making it seem, especially from the inside of the band, that very high level quality control is involved. About two weeks have passed, since receiving this watch and only very small scratches are on the outside surface from wear, which, is not entirely surprising, considering that titanium is actually softer than all but the lowest grades of steel, it's redeeming quality being that it is actually about half the weight for the same strength. Lowest grades of steel, I say, meaning paperclips and staples, and anything made of rusty "stainless" Chinese steel. All of this means that, in an office environment, there isn't a whole lot short of good quality steel eating utensils, that can scratch this watch.
The solar charging function also gives the peace of mind that this watch will never run out of power, so, in the event of nuclear holocaust or financial ruin, I won't ever need to buy batteries and it could also be used as a valuable trade good.
