This watch is an excellent value.
Many good looking dress watches are breathtakingly expensive, so much so, in fact, that I couldn't wear one of them without worrying all of the time about breaking or losing it. This watch, on the other hand, is affordable and gorgeous; the combination of the dark blue face, the bright gold-colored accents, and the brushed stainless steel case and band parts is perfect. The pictures online really don't do it justice at all. It almost shouts "Expensive!" but it's quite reasonably priced, particularly when you consider all of the features.
Further, though the watch has lots of functions, it isn't one of those gaudy designs that looks like the control panel for the space shuttle. It's not a small watch, but it's not one of the huge, overbearing ones, either.
A nice feature is the two-button clasp release on the band. It's easy to use, but there's no way that the clasp will accidentally fly open and drop the watch to the floor.
Citizen has been in business for decades, and their reputation for quality is well-deserved. Their reputation for innovation is, too, and this watch is a good example of one of their finest advances, the Eco-Drive system. Since the watch is charged when it's exposed to light, there is no battery replacement, ever. This is a mature technology, too. My previous Eco-Drive watch ran like a champ for nearly 15 years before an unfortunate encounter with a washing machine claimed its life. I fully expect this one to do the same, and if it doesn't there's always the excellent 5-year factory warranty.
My watch came set to the correct time and date-- though I'm not sure how they managed that trick. The written instructions for using the stop watch and 24-hour time features, and for setting the watch seem a bit daunting at first, though a little thought makes them clear. However, the package contains a CD that has flash video clips that very clearly show how to reset everything. I don't expect to have any problems when I have to adjust it for daylight saving time.
I feel that I got a lot for my money. I'm very pleased with the way the watch looks and functions, and, based on my previous experience with a Citizen Eco-Drive watch, I expect to get many years of service out of this one.Buy Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Two-Tone Watch #BL5184-56L!
