 The only watches for me October 8, 2008

I presently own 7 Citizen Ecodrive watches. I have a variety of dive watches and dress watches. The Skyhawk is the latest and I love the atomic time reception, although the other Citizens don't seem to lose time. They are reliable, and very accurate. I also own upscale Rolex and Omega watches (automatics). My Citizens out perform these Chronographs? by a long shot.
 Very good with a few minor flaws. July 17, 2008

I just got mine the other day. I own four other Citizen Eco-drive models. They've all been trouble-free and continue to function to this day. The oldest is an 8-year old titaniam diver model. I wanted this new Citizen because it's all black and it's atomic clock accurate. This is a huge watch, but seems to sit well on my smaller wrist. Resizing the band was a bit of a pain as the pins are rather hard to push out. Also, the band is not very flexible, so it doesn't fit as well on a smaller wrist. The one thing that really stood out to me was that the clasp on this watch is of much lower quality than my older citizens with metal bands. This one is made of stamped stainless steel. All my other Citizens have clasps made of thicker solid steel. The watch case itself is solid steel and appears very solid. However, the back is snap-on...eek! Citizen has really gone cheap here. I'd expect that a watch at this price level to have a screw-in back...not a snap-on like a Timex! All my previous Citizen's had screw-in backs. I know that the Japan-only titanium version of this watch has a screw-in back and a solid titanium clasp. This watch is coated black and only time will tell how durable it is. I suspect that eventually the black on the clasp will start wearing off since that's usually where most of the rubbing takes place. The crystal is made of mineral glass and is slightly domed, so at certain angles, you will get reflections. Overall, I love this watch because it looks great and is super accurate. I just wish that Citizen didn't cut down on the quality of the clasp and back to save a few bucks. One other annoying thing is that to access the various functions of the watch (calendar, countdown, chronograph etc), you have to pull out the crown and rotate it. A bit annoying if you use the functions a lot. br / br /Pros: br /- very nice looking watch br /- fit and finish are top-notch br /- bracelet is made from solid links. Not cheap folded metal. br /- 200m water resistant br /- bezel rotates smoothly br /- picks up atomic clock signal in Japan, Europe and North America br /- LCD display is backlit, so you can see it at night at the press of a button. br /- Eco-drive a proven and reliable technology br / br /Cons: br /- cheap clasp br /- snap-on back br /- metal band not very flexible so if you have a small wrist, you might have large gaps on the sides of the wrist. br /- black coating is not protected, so it will eventually wear off. br /- crystal prone to reflections br /
