Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Sport Casual Brycen Chronograph Watch, Super Titanium™, Perpetual Calendar, Tachymeter 12/24 Hour Time, Alarm, Date

Beautiful, light, easy to read
Great price, almost half of what it goes for at the Citizen website. Classy and casual at the same time. I love the blue/navy face and the titanium is very cool. I never had a titanium watch before. So far it has been tough to scratch (case and band) and it SHOULD have scratched when I stupidly tried to size the bracelet myself and the awl slipped. It’s very comfortable and light and does not irritate the back of my hand if it’s a little loose (which I like to do) as many heavier watches do. As far as I’m concerned it’s almost the perfect watch. The only thing that would make it better is the Satellite Wave functionality which sets the time quickly and switches time zones for you when you travel. Those are beautiful as well and I have a few of them. I highly recommend this watch. I love watches, have a bunch, but I can’t see paying $10,000 for an Omega or Rolex (I’m not *that* enthusiastic about watches, I’d rather spend that kind of money on a trip to Hawaii or a cruise). I would definitely buy this watch again if I had it to do over.

Stylish, durable, and most importantly (to me), keeps good time and keeps running.
I bought this to replace a Seiko 5 men’s watch (SNZH55) that I wasn’t wearing every day, which consequently meant that its self-winding feature wasn’t getting enough energy from me wearing it to keep it running. Pretty much every time I picked it up, it had stopped and so I had to set it, wind it, and then wear it.This watch solves that problem completely. The solar power means that as long as it’s not in a drawer or stored face-down on a desk, it’s getting some power from ambient light, and that’s enough to keep it running. I probably wear it every second day (one day on, one day off), and the days when I wear it I’m not wearing it for the whole day. It has not run down yet.Also, the timekeeping is very accurate. I haven’t set it for months, and I didn’t set it to exactly the correct second, but it was +/- one minute accurate when I did set it last. (I don’t remember exactly; I don’t really need it to be perfectly synced with the real world, as long as it doesn’t gain or lose time very quickly.) Right now it’s about 15 seconds fast, which means that it’s still +/- one minute. That’s very good as far as I’m concerned.I really like the way it looks, too.My only gripes would be that (a) I’m used to cheaper, lower-quality watches, so it’s the most expensive one I’ve ever bought, but I’m not a fancy-watch guy so it’s probably a good value; (b) adjusting the watchband links was harder than with the Seiko 5. I had to buy a watchband adjusting toolkit and it was still barely possible for me to do. My advice is to just take it to a watch repair specialist and get them to do it. They’ll do it in seconds with the right tools.

Nice Watch…but has flaws
This is my 1 month review:Pro’s:- Nice looking watch.- Awesome that there’s no battery to deal with.- Time keeping is absolutely accurate.- Titanium is nice- Love that the date is set all the way through 2100. Auto changes as the new month comes.Now for the bad.Cons:- I had to take out 2 links on each side for my wrist. This turned out to be a real pain even with a watch tool for the pins. There was a little “sleeve” that came out when the pins were pulled. Took me awhile to figure out that they are part of the pin system. Never had this happen on any other watch I’ve owned.- The date window is ridiculously small. With my aging eyesight I can’t even read what the number is since its so small. On top of that, you have to look at it straight down, no angle.- One of the small “wheel” indicators works as a 24 hour clock. It’s useless. I would have much rather seen that used for something else.- Can confirm from what others had stated, the luminous hands are terrible and don’t light up much. Can barely see them in darkness.Overall, I like the watch, but for the price it’s got some weak spots.

Relógio muito bonito, leve e resistente graças à pulseira e à caixa em titânio. Tenho outro no mesmo tamanho só que de aço inox e é muito mais pesado, sendo esse Citizen bem mais confortável de usar.Os ajustes de data, hora, alarme e horário alternativo (dual time) são um pouco trabalhosos, mas o site da Citizen tem um vídeo tutorial (em inglês) que torna tudo mais fácil.Manual até tem, mas precisa baixar o PDF no site da Citizen, mas é bem completo (também em inglês). Atenção na hora de fazer o download pois tem duas opções de manual, o completo e o resumido.A tecnologia Eco-Drive permite que o relógio seja carregado com qualquer fonte de luz (natural ou artificial), mas obviamente ele carrega mais rápido com exposição direta à luz solar, evitando calor excessivo (> 60° C). Para quem trabalha ou passa muitas horas ao ar livre, ele nunca precisa carregar, mas caso fique muito tempo em local coberto, recomenda-se deixá-lo exposto à luz solar de 5-6h uma vez ao mês.Com carga total ele chega a ficar de 6 a 8 meses sem necessidade de luz, portanto, não precisa ter medo de o relógio parar de funcionar. Além disso, ele avisa quando a carga está baixa e quando isso acontece, ele ainda funciona bem por 2 a 5 dias, tempo de sobra para programar um horário de recarga.Caso não possa ou não queira deixar o relógio exposto à luz natural, você pode usar uma luminária com luz fria (LED) e deixar ele carregar sob ela por algumas (várias) horas, durante a noite, por exemplo.O relógio é à prova d’água até 10 bar (100 m), o que permite, molhar, nadar e até mergulhar com ele.Até o momento estou muito feliz com a compra, dizem que a bateria dura por muitos anos (li relatos de 20 anos de uso em bom funcionamento), mas isso só terei como confirmar depois.
