The Citizen Watch Brand

The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.

During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.

Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of "world’s firsts" is unmatched.

More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery.

Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions (See the full Citizen Eco-Drive FAQ here)

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.

Customer Reviews

Great watch!
I bought this watch for my husband. He loves it! The face is different than most on the market because it's gray (not black, blue or white). He loves it. Be sure to take it to a jeweler to get the links taken out. There are small tubes that hold the pins in. If they aren't put back properly the watch band will fall off. Be sure to wiggle the watch band a little bit when you leave the jeweler to make sure they put the tubes back in.

nice features
This is my first "dressy" watch. The titanium band was a must for me as it is lighter and stronger than stainless steel. The watch arrived uncharged so I had to leave it by the window for a day to get it fully charged. The solar-powering charges quickly under direct sunlight, but can take awhile under fluorescent or incandescent lighting. This is only when the watch is completely discharged, but those sources of light should be adequate to maintain charge. The watch face is not actually white as it is shown on the Citizen site or in the pictures, but more of a light silver color. The band was also very easy to resize by myself (just need a small paper clip and some pliers). The only feature that is missing is a sapphire crystal face, but I have yet to scratch the face. The clasp is very secure as you need to squeeze the sides to release it. The glow in the dark hands are also very bright.

Good Watch - POOR Band
I've had this watch over 2 years and it works just fine. The problem is that the band has fallen apart twice (the pins holding the links fall out).
