I wanted one of these for years but the initial price was high. I kept waiting and it finally went on sale just as one of my cheap watches died.The actual watch is just as good looking as the picture. It also keeps PERFECT time! Since it does not need batteries there is no reason to open the case. I have another Citizen watch that has lasted over 10 years. It is a rugged divers watch. It leads a hard life and it will not die. It also keeps perfect time. I expect this new one will also last a long time.The leather band was stiff and dry. I rubbed a little leather conditioner into it and it is soft and comfortable.

I've had a lot of watches in my life but this is my first Citizen and I really like it. It's manly yet elegant. The numbers are large enough to read and the leather band is comfortable. The chronograph second hand is easily seen as well as the minute hand. This makes it easy to time a workout. The date indicator is a bit small but most of them are these days. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with an instruction manual, you have to go online to get a PDF. With that said, I still give it 5 stars. Amazon sells it much cheaper than I've seen at the nearby mall.

I got this watch for my boyfriend and loved everything about it. It’s sleek and nice looking whilst being a good value for a brand name watch.

Update: 9/7/2023 FYI, I stopped wearing this watch for a while and the battery drained. I charged it by laying it on a window sill for a day. However, I forgot it was there and it sat on the window sill for a month. The sun completely bleached the leather band. I'm not docking a star, still a great watch at a great price, but be careful if you do need to charge the battery that you don't forget and then have to buy a new band! Oops.[Original review below]I love the overall look and size of this watch. I have larger and smaller watches and this seems to hit the "Engineer in khakis" dress code pretty well. Not too dressy, not too casual. Not too big, not too small. At this price point, there are a few trade offs, but they feel acceptable to me.Pros:- Eco-drive - so convenient, never have to deal with a battery or winding reserve- Value - for the price of this watch, the feel and look are a great value that is comparable to other watches in the same price point without the convenience of Ecodrive.- Leather band - great color and texture- Size and Finish - A mix of "satin" and polished surfaces makes for a nice looking watch- Face - The blue is a unique color (there are some negatives here) and while the face does have a "printed" appearance, it also has the style and function of a chronometer, without "screaming" chronometer. The style is a little subdued. I also like having the date complication.While there are some things I don't like, overall, I wear this watch all the time. The following are noted so you can go in eyes wide open.Cons:- Chronometer - The start/stop and reset buttons on the chronometer are just a little too easy to push. If I decide to time something (example: commute home on a rainy day, time to walk somewhere) I find that often the timer has reset because I accidentally hit the button with my wrist during a casual movement of the wrist/arm.- Watchface - I like and dislike the blue face. Unlike black Eco-drive faces, the blue face is more transparent and you can clearly tell where the solar cell is in the watch. However, it is not ugly, just obvious and in a weird way I kind of like it now. However, if you are looking for a bold, high quality face with quality materials, this is not it. I have a Citizen Paradigm that does a much better job of combining Eco-drive with high quality face materials if that is your goal (albeit at a significantly higher price point.).- Chronometer - Reading the 1/5th chronometer indices can be a little tough due to the "printed" nature of the watchface. The chronometer is more of a novelty that I use since it is there and not a requirement in my book. With that in mind, 1/5th second is definitely not a requirement.

I've had this watch for about a month now and I'm very happy with it. It's hard to beat quartz movements for accuracy and that, together with an easy to read dial, matter the most to me. It's been two weeks since I last set it and it hasn't lost or gained a second. The only downside is that the date is impossible to read.After I ordered this watch for $133, Amazon raised the price to $168. Even at that price, this watch is a bargain.

If you want a flashy timepiece, this may not be for you. If you are looking for a classic take on the analog watch that is more about aplomb and gravitas than bling and shimmer, you may just enjoy this. It's an outstanding value that I enjoy wearing in relaxed settings. My Citizen watches have never let me down.

This is a very good everyday watch. I have many Citizen watches, leather strap is also very good.Highly recommended.

I'll echo some of the other lower rated reviews. This watch is priced as an entry level eco and it shows. With professional lighting it's a better looking watch in the picture than on your wrist. It's nice looking, but its appearance falls a little short given the picture (blue hues, face labeling). If you need a quick check of the date you shouldn't rely upon this watch. The date display is worthless even in good light and nothing like its pictured. On the positive side, it is an eco-drive (I have others and like them). The numerals (except for the mentioned date display) and hands are large, and it's easy to tell the time with just a glance. Even if priced only moderately higher it would go back, but at $160 I'll likely keep it, wear it as a nice casual watch, but always be just a little bit disappointed.
