I've use a Citizen Eco-Drive a nighthawk as my EDC for +/- about 7 years from now. I beat the living heck out of it. Face is scratched from daily use, babe is scratched as I crashed my longboard on asphalt and the band broke my fall"¦ and survived. So I am a true believer in Citizen quality and longevity. I'm living proof of their durability. I also wear a Bulova Precisionist for going out, dinner, parties, etc. very high quality timepiece, and the Citizen, for the money, is on that level.

I bought this particular piece to use as my new EDC and retire (more or less) my Nighthawk. This piece is very lightweight (thanks Titanium) and the clock accuracy is phenomenal. My precisionist keeps excellent time due to that particular movement. This piece m, with the radio controlled and perpetual movement, is even better. My watch changes minutes that match my iPhone (best gauge I could come up with to compare). Changes every minute on the minute. The date is accurate too. And the fact that I don't need to change the numbered day of the month until February of 2100? Amazing. Even better since I got this as an Amazon Flash Sale for +/-30% off. I paid about $400 for it.

Note, for band adjustment, if you do it yourself, the kind in this band are smaller than I've seen in other watches, so take not of that so you don't get your tools stuck like I did! Haha.

All in, 10/10 would recommend this watch to anyone. Citizen is a Gamechanger with the eco-drive and now radio controlled plus titanium.

Only drawback (if you can call it that) is this watch is very lightweight. My Bulova feels like I'm carrying an anvil compared to this. Even my Citizen Stainless Nighthawk is significantly heavier. I think there is a stigma out there about having weight to it means a watch is quality. If you're one of the "bros" who needs a big heavy watch, this piece is not for you. If you can check the ego in sacrifice of a great timepiece, this is a fantastic watch.

Keeps perfect time. Never needs battery or winding. Stunning good looks

Loved the watch from the moment I found it. A little complicated in operation but it is very forgiving in setting it up. It does exactly what it says it will. Very unhappy with the Amazon packaging. The citizen watch box was left loose in the shipping box without any packing whatsoever and was slightly scuffed as a result. It was left free to just bounce around in the shipping box during the entire shipping process. For the price paid the watch should at least have been properly packaged. The watch has worked flawlessly since receipt. It is so very maintenance free, gives so much information and is a beautiful time piece.

READ THIS IF YOU CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO SET YOUR WATCH: This is a model E660 NOT the E650 which is featured in most videos on the internet. The only difference is on the E660 the time zones are on the outer bezel instead of the inner function dial. This may seem like a minor thing, but it completely changes how the watch is set. Trust me and search for the model E660 directions which are on the Citizen website and as of the date of posting this review there were a few videos online as well.

NOW ON TO THE REVIEW!

Got this watch during Prime Days for about half the list price and am extremely happy with the purchase. Other than a minor, time wasting, frustrating hour or two figuring out how to set the watch properly I've got to say it is well worth the money.

At 42mm the case fits nicely on a small to mid size wrist. It is smaller looking then it appears in the pictures and even online reviews which was fine by me. Just note this if you have larger wrists, this watch might look "funny" on your arm.

It has a nice heft to it, but not too much. Not sure what the reviewers who were complaining about it usually wear. It is lighter than some of my other 42-44mm chrono style watches. Doesn't feel heavy when on and is nicely balanced.

Case is well polished and the two tone coloring gives it a slightly different, dressier edge than other models. I don't think I would wear this with a suit, but if this was your only watch it wouldn't look out of place.

Has tons of cool functions like the perpetual calendar and automatic setting to atomic clock radio signal. This is really a "set it and forget it" kind of watch. Eco-drive is nice too as there will never be a battery change needed. Just make sure you leave it in the sunlight or at least under a lamp for a few days after it arrives. Mine had a decent charge already but I want to "top it off" before putting it into regular rotation. If you leave this in your dark watch box for months on end though it is going to die. But, hey, it is a great watch so you ought to be wearing it on a regular basis anyhow.

The chrono function is also only OK. The minute dial is so small it is impossible to see which hash it is on accurately. Fine if you are timing something for up to 60 seconds or you don't mind counting the minutes yourself. Seriously though, how many times do you really use that chrono function? Like three times ever, right? I would just think the fine people at Citizen would have addressed this obvious flaw seeing this particular model of watch has been in their catalog for almost a decade and this is the recently updated one.

One minor complaint though. I had to take out every single available link in it and even then it barely was enough to fit my wrist. If you have very narrow wrists you may be out of luck.

Also, haven't been able to get the watch to sync with the local radio broadcast. I'll try to position it according to the instructions for a few nights and see if it finally communicates. If not, though it appears to be accurate enough.

The biggest question though: is this watch worth the list price if Amazon (or elsewhere) does not have it discounted? On that, I would say generally "no" in that I prefer other watch makers in this price range, but that is just my personal preference. If you can find this for around $400 either here or somewhere else though, I would say buy it.

Not for me. Watch itself at 42mm is too large for me; I returned it.

It's an impressive style & band looks great, but for some odd reason they used plain, dull, unfinished metal inside the clasp instead of the chrome polished finish like the rest of the band. Can't see it when clasp is closed so I assume it's a cost thing.

Band is super light titanium, may take some getting used to, but the watch itself isn't super heavy so they balance well & it wouldn't be spinning around on a wrist.

No instructions are included in the box; all online but easy to find.

It's got so many functions that I'd never use, but I was interested in the eco/charge with light, not having a battery to replace & its auto setting via atomic clock. Hassle free.

I just wish my wrist size was a fit with it, but no can do. Not the watch's fault.
