I can’t seem to get the date working properly after many tries

If a watch can't be accurate I prefer it run fast. Sadly this watch looses about two or three seconds a month and I have to manually set the watch fast by about ten seconds and then keep my eye on it until it drops below the correct time. My $35.00 Timex keeps better time. Very disappointing. Citizen says I have to ship it to California for them to evaluate it. The watch looks and feels good. My friends make favorable comments. I can overlook the small date, the small military time numbers, and the fact that only the hands glow in the dark, but having to reset the time so much can't compensate for the battery charging under a lamp.

Love the look and the functionality. The crystal and band are thinner/lower profile than the pictures appear, however, that is a great for me as a prefer a lower profile. Love the watch.

Received as a christmas present 18 yrs ago and it has barely missed a beat. Runs about 30sec fast a month and all I do is pop the stem to let time catch up. Capacitor battery may be showing its age and it got low on charge recently.I think It was just inside too much. I have spent more on bands than it cost in 2005.Crystal is pretty scratched up and I avoid submersing it if I can help it. I think as watches age the waterproof rating diminishes and I find it easier to just not shower or swim with it. And I have a leather band on it also.

Had this for about a month now, primarily as a watch for work. Overall it seems to be a reliable and attractive daily watch. Pros: Accurate quartz (has lost about 1s in a month), clear and easy to read in daylight, nicely finished case and quality leather strap. Cons: Lume is below average - only the hands have it applied and it's nowhere near as bright as others (like my Seiko dive watch). Also the 24-hour time indicators are tiny, and even with my glasses on they're almost impossible to read - Citizen should have made them much larger or left them off entirely.

EcoDrive watches are a bargain and beautiful. I have saved hundreds of dollars on batteries over the years and they are truly dependable.

This is exactly what I was looking for. A great watch for weekend wear. It is not so expensive that I will worry about it getting wet or muddy while doing yardwork or banging it up working in the barn, but it is still really attractive. The strap is a nice sturdy leather, the face is simple, and I love the solar Ecodrive. The green and stainless steel gives it a nice outdoor hiking/camping look. I got my son and I Star Wars watches last Christmas, so this is my third Citizen EcoDrive. I would definitely recommend them.
