Amazon.com Product Description
The Citizen Calibre 8651 stainless steel men's watch offers a sleek, silvery design that's suitable for business wear or a night out on the town. It also includes a delightfully illustrated moon phase indicator. This watch is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artifical light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. It has a 180-day power reserve and a low-charge indicator.

This watch has a large, round silver stainless steel watch case--which measures 41mm (1.61 inches) wide and 11mm (0.43 inches) deep--that's topped by a thin, polished flat bezel. The silvery white dial background is accented by black subdials (with month and day of week indicators in addition to the moon phase subdial), luminous hands, and baton silver-tone dial markers. It's completed by a stainless steel bracelet band that mixes polished and brushed silver-tone links and is joined by a push-button deployment clasp. Other features includes a screw-back case, screw-down crown, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if the Eco-Drive watch is getting enough light?
In normal use, the watch displays the time and the sweep-second hand moves in one second intervals. A very important feature of Eco-Drive is the Low Charge Warning Mode which as a result of low battery voltage, causes the second hand to jump two seconds at a time (while still keeping correct time).

How long will an Eco-Drive watch run after it is fully charged?
If your watch is put away where no light is available to it while in a fully charged state, depending on the model, it will run for from 45 days to 5 years.

How can the Eco-Drive watch be recharged?
Besides sunlight, it can be safely charged by exposing it to a fluorescent desk lamp, with the dial (face) up and within about 8 inches or an incandescent lamp (regular light bulb) no closer than 20 inches. Never use a halogen lamp since the heat generated by it can cause damage to your watch. The most efficient and the quickest is in direct bright sunlight (not windowsill) and never on the dashboard of a car.

Warranty
This Citizen watch is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship and to meet the specified timekeeping accuracy for a period of five years from the date of original retail purchase. It does not cover the power cell, crystal, crown, or bracelet/strap. It also does not cover damage caused by accident, scratches to the case, or moisture damage to a watch not marked "water resistant." This five-year limited warranty will be honored only by service centers in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean; service centers located in other parts of the world will only provide warranty service for the first year.

About Citizen
One of the world's largest watch makers, the Citizen Watch Company was founded in 1924 in Japan from its beginnings as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute. The first watch released by the company was named "CITIZEN" and its name was selected so that it would be "close to the hearts of people everywhere." Today, Citizen is recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced timepiece technology, from the world's slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch to the world's first professional dive wach with an electronic depth sensor. Citizen was also the first to sell watches made with titanium in the world, which is not only light and durable but also non-allergenic (as stainless steel can be to some wearers). Most recently, Citizen has released watches powered by its Eco-Drive, which runs continuously in any kind of natural light or artificial light for a lifetime of use without changing a battery.

Customer Reviews

Beautiful Timepiece
Phenomenal pricing for this exquisite looking citizens eco-drive. The watch was delivered in pristine condition, although it was slightly discharged and running in the 2 sec warning mode. A couple minutes in the sun and it was running normally.

The Moon Phase is very nice. And it has separate hands on sub-dials for the day, month, and date. Its a clean layout. And the latching clasp will not come loose without pressing the buttons.

Great watch -- though not perfect
Pros:
- Very attractive watch
- Solar powered and doesn't require battery changes
- Lots of info: time, day of the week, date, moon phase

Cons:
- Difficult to set. This is the only watch I've ever owned which required me to carefully read the directions!
- The "date" on the watch is not very smart. It assumes all months have 31 days so on shorter months you need to manually adjust the date or else it will be wrong.

My first Citzen feels expensive.
You'll love it. The braclet and case feel heavy and scream quality. The brushing and polished finishing look like somehting that cost a lot more. The dial is beautiful and readable. At the price cant be beat, plus ECO Drive is cool.
