CITIZEN Men's Classic Calendrier Eco-Drive Watch, 12/24 Hour Time, 3-Hand Day and Date, Anti-Reflective Mineral Crystal, Luminous Hands

I bought this to replace a Seiko 5 that broke after 10 years of use (not the watch’s fault it broke). I was a little hesitant to get another automatic watch because I was only wearing it on days I worked, and winding up after my weekend was not my favorite thing. After some research I decided on the Citizen Eco-drive movement.I also wanted something with a day/date feature and 24 hour time on the dial. The world clock feature was a huge bonus as I travel often. I was very happy to find this watch with all the features I wanted and nothing I didn’t need.I was concerned about the size as I had never had a 44mm case and I don’t have big arms, but I measured and cut a diagram on a piece of paper and taped it on my wrist and decided it would be a good size. I will say I wouldn’t want to go any bigger than this, but the utility and readability is well worth a little extra real estate over my previous watch.ProsLooks better in person - elegant without being overly dressyVery easy to set. The analog calendar turned out to be faster to adjust than I imagined.Easy to use the world clock feature. Just check the 24 hour hand and then use the lower dial to turn the outer ring to match that number to your current time zone, and you can see what hour it is anywhere in the world.It looks smaller in person than I imagined, probably because there is so much going on on the face.It is very quiet. I tried a few other watches and the timex in particular was annoyingly loud. This one is almost dead silent for me.Solar powered, no battery replacement or winding needed. Mine came with a decent charge out of the box, but I still put it in the sun for a few hours before setting it. Refer to the manual for specifics.Looks great with NATO straps. I swapped out the leather strap right away because it is hot where I live now and I’m not a huge fan of colored leather.ConsIncluded strap is a bummer. The quality seems fine but I couldn’t figure out how to adjust it by myself and the manual suggested I consult a watch fitter. Pish posh. I popped it off with a tiny screwdriver and threw on a cheap NATO strap in a few minutes and never looked back.On that note, I might have made more effort if the included strap was brown or black. Blue leather just seems icky to me. But if that’s your thing, and you don’t mind taking the time to get it sized up, I guess it seems like a decent quality for the price

The blue dial is definitely my fav. feature and I think the main highlight of this striking watch. In person, it often has a darker shade of blue similar to navy blue, as supposed to the light "baby blue" seen on some pictures. The deep shade of blue changes to a nice, reflective lighter blue depending on light angle. It's pretty cool. This looks best under low/indoor lighting.I love good-looking watches as much as the next person, but if the design can incorporate useful functions as well, it's a winner for me. And this watch does all of that.It has Day of the week, Date of the month, 24/hr, and different timezones calculations. And it's solar-powered, so no need to worry about battery changes every few years, which is a plus for an everyday watch.Build quality seems very nice to the touch. Bracelet is medium weight and solidity, not too noisy nor ultra quiet. The clasp has these beautiful brushed marking that look very classy (see pics).Overall, good watch for the price. I think one of the few unique ones with the features and good appearance at the pricepoint 👍

I didn't think I'd like it compared to the Seiko SSG019 Coutura but it won me over after the initial setup. You have to download the instructions to setup the time and date if you're not familiar with these calibers. Using time.gov, I was able to synchronize the time with the atomic clock. I will probably buy the Seiko SSG019 in the future when it goes on sale because of its Radio Sync function, but for now, this watch works for me.

This is a rugged, stylish dress watch from Citizens. It keeps a very accurate time, and it looks good with suits and ties or shorts and blue jeans. I highly recommend this well-made timepiece! It is powered by solar power, so you'll never need to replace a battery or wind it up every three days.

My old Seiko died and I started looking for something new. I ended up buying a Seiko Coutura and this Calendrier. The date dial and the 24 hour dial are a little hard to read unless I have it under really good light. The rest of the watch face is very readable. The blue dial is beautiful and I love the moveable bezel to figure world time. The band is two-tone silver and very comfortable (my wrist is just over 7.5 inches). The weight is over 1.5 oz less than the Seiko- so a nice weight for daily wear. This is my first Citizen watch and I like the Eco-drive system. And there was a special sale that made it hard to resist. Very happy with this purchase!

This watch is absolutely beautiful… The band is to small, I have it set on the second to last hole and could easily used the last for comfort… The only reason I gave it four stars is because of the band, its a little complicated, it took me a minute to figure it out and I haven’t even tried the other settings yet but I’m vein, I don’t care, this watch is just beautiful…

I wanted a blue dial watch to go with my small collection of some movado 's a tag and some other lesesr brands, but still nice watches in their own right (like this citizen) wish I could afford an omega, lol. Anyways None of what I have has a deep blue dial I always wanted to go with a blue wedding ring. I Decided I would budget about 4 to 5 hundred for a good watch. Came down to this and the bulova this is pictured with. This was hard, but it's a top of line citizen vs a low end bulova. Both owned by citizen. Think Toyota avalon vs Lexus ES class. Would rather have the Toyota. Plus this has eco drive that will last close to a decade if well kept before any battery change. It looks great and am happy I got this one.

incredible price compare to jewelery , very satisfied

This is a large men's watch with a 44 mm diameter dial, polished stainless steel.I'd say it's more of a dressy/office watch, but it could do casual.This is not a chronograph, if that's what you're looking for, this isn't it.The watch has 3 working sub dials, the sub dial at 3 O'clock shows the date, the sub dial at 6 shows the hour in 24 hour format, and the sub dial at 9 shows the day.There are two crowns, one at the normal position to adjust the time and the sub dials, and one at the 4 O'clock position to rotate the inner scale to give you the time in a 2nd time zone.Lots to look at on this watch:If you look closely, you'll see the crisp white dial has two different textures on it and 3 different levels.The rings on the sub dials have tiny little metal edges around them and the indices on the chapter ring are chamfered.The watch is good down to 100M which means you an go swimming and snorkeling with it, but it's not a dive watch.The price might seem a bit steep, but in my opinion, you're getting a lot of watch for the money.Likes:Keeps great time (expected since it has a quartz movement) and with Eco Drive, you shouldn't have to worry about a battery (capacitor in this case) for close to a decade.The more time you spend with it, the more you see all the detail Citizen put into the watch.The navy blue leather strap goes with the blue hands and the deployment clasp is well done and detailed, looks like it was forged and not just stamped.The watch looks great on the wrist and the blue watch hands change shades as the light hits them.DIslikes:The deployment clasp can dig a bit into your wrist if you adjust the strap to that it's really snug.The crowns don't have a stamp on them, they are blank, which is odd for a watch costing this much.Reading the Hour and the Day dials takes a little practice.Really, not much to complain about. It's a great watch, just different enough to be interesting.

Great watch with classy style
