It has become quite difficult to find a watch that isn't the same diameter as a tennis ball; this one is about at my watch-size limit. The glow-in-the-dark hands do that, but just barely. The date window does not have a magnifier, and the date is very small and shaded by the watch face, so it is almost impossible to read without a strong light shining on it. The band adjustment is straightforward. About a month on, the watch has thus far kept exact time, as a quartz movement should. I am hard on watches, and thus far, the watch face has resisted scratches.

I needed to decide on a decent solar powered watch that would not break the bank. It was between Citizen and Seiko. I was surprised when I verified on Citizen's website that this watch does indeed have a sapphire crystal. Most watches with a sapphire crystal are about at least twice the (street) price of this Citizen. Sometimes more. Google sapphire crystal for more info.

Another factor was Amazon is the seller of my order. I got burned once by a third-party watch seller. I am confident this watch is the real deal. The watch was packaged well in what appeared to be all of the original factory packaging and protective wrappings. See photos.

This watch was running when I received it. I set it in a window sill for about five hours on a sunny day. and then about four inches from a bright fluorescent bulb in a desk light for four days. It now has been eight weeks with no time issues. See Citizen's website for complete charging time estimates and requirements.

Overall this is a very nice looking accurate watch for the price. One note, the watch face is very dark blue, but looks black unless you do a close inspection in the right lighting. The watch case markings are luminescent in the dark.

This watch is perfect for any man. It's easy to read, easy to charge via the sun or indoor lighting, has a good looking band. The face is as pictured online but much nicer in person. The blue face is deeper and richer looking. My husband loves it.

Beautiful simple looking watch, easy to tell the time, 10/10

I like the eco drive, no batteries to replace, just move it around. I have owned this for several weeks now and it keeps accurate time.
