Keep time with military precision while adding a unique edge to your wardrobe with the Citizen Eco-Drive Men's Chronograph Canvas Watch. Featuring the clean look and the rugged dependability of a stainless steel case and bezel, this timepiece relies on the unique Citizen Eco-Drive movement system, so you never need to replace its battery. Eco-Drive is an advanced, technical system that uses a thin solar panel under the dial to convert light energy from any source into electrical energy used to run your watch. Also playing a key role in this unique system is a special energy storage cell that greatly increases the efficiency and dependability of using light as a power source. As an added benefit, Eco-Drive power doesn't utilize the harmful chemicals contained in traditional batteries, so it's an excellent environmental choice as well.

The watch features a black dial with easy-to-read Arabic numerals in white, a convenient date window at four o'clock, a slim second tracker on the outer dial, and three subdials that provide chronograph functionality along with the ability to track hours on a 24-hour scale. The dial is further offset with luminescent minute and hour hands and a sweeping red seconds hand. Even the cool canvas band on this watch offers ultra-detailed construction. In addition to featuring a sturdy buckle clasp that relies on steel-reinforced eyelets, the band is backed with leather, which provides added durability and results in a pleasant feel against your wrist. This versatile men's watch is water resistant to 330 feet.

*Charging information: Functions of this watch may not work correctly if the watch is not charged, or charged properly. Please see the full Technical Information.

To set the time *(refer to full-setting instructions here: Manual ):
  1. Pull the crown out to the time correction position when the second hand has reached the 0 seconds position.
  2. Turn the crown to set the time. The 24-hour hand moves in conjunction with the hour hand. Pay attention to AM and PM when setting the time.
  3. Securely return the crown to the normal position in synchronization with a telephone or other time service.


To set the date:
  1. Pull the crown out to the date correction position.
  2. Turn the crown to the right to set the date. The crown turns freely and the date does not change if the crown is turned to the left.
  3. If the date is set while the time on the watch is between the hours of about 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, the date may not change on the following day. If this happens, set the date after temporarily moving the hands to a time other than between the above times.

Using the Chronograph*:

The chronograph function of this watch is able to measure and display elasped time up to 59 minutes, 59 seconds in 1 second units. After 60 minutes have elasped, each of the chronograph hands automatically stop at the 12:00 position.
   
    Chronograph Timing:
  1. Start timing by pressing button (A). The chronograph is repeatedly started and stopped by pressing button (A).
  2. Pressing button (B) resets the chronograph to 0 seconds.
    *Note: Do not subject the chronograph to strong impacts while chronograph timing is in progress. Subjecting the watch to a strong impact during chronograph timing or when the chronograph has stopped automatically after 60 minutes have elasped can cause the chronograph minute hand to shift out of position. If this happens, press button (B) to reset to the 12:00 position before using the chronograph again.

 "Great watch, but has a very small strap" 2010-03-17
By Harry Morningwood (Mass)
I've owned this watch for about 3 months and the watch has functioned well in every aspect. The one drawback being the size of the strap and the placement of the rivet holes on the band itself. My wrist is about 7 1/2" and I have to use the second to last rivet hole on the band. If you have a 8" wrist or larger you will have to change the band or find a different watch as this one will not fit you. The band almost seems like a "youth" sized band. With that being said I really love this watch. The fact that it doesn't run on a battery or need to be worn to work (i.e. automatics) was a big selling point for me. I own battery powered quartz movements along with mechanical and automatics so I was looking for something different and I found it with this watch. The watch keeps excellent time and has a very long reserve power supply. Also very easy to read even in low light conditions.

 "Good casual watch...change the band" 2010-03-07
By Steven A. Delvecchio (NY United States)
Nice watch after you give it a good charge. Chronograph works nicely. Changed the band to a Hadley-Roma Men's 20-mm Black Carbon Fiber With Leather Backing Watch Strap #MSM840RA-200...now it looks and feels like it should,..4 stars because I had to do the band change (another $20), otherwise I would have gone with 5.

 "Decent watch if you have a slim wrist" 2010-03-01
By apex
I probably should have paid more attention to the other reviews of this watch, but it looked so nice in the pictures and was rated highly by other reviewers that I bought it, despite some reviewers saying the band was short. Well the band is VERY SHORT. It is not like I have a super thick wrist but the strap was on its last hole for me. Plus, the holes have metal grommets so the holes are farther apart than on most watch bands, limiting fit choices. Sure, I could have swithed bands, but I liked the cloth--that is why I bought the watch. Also, I saw a Citizen replacement cloth strap and it is $70!!! I was not going to throw away such an expensive strap. Finally, the watch face is totally flat--no depth at all--so it looks cheaper in person than in the pictures. For a couple of reasons, therefore, I can't recommend this watch. If you do like it, be sure you have a small wrist.

 "Watch is Great...band not so much" 2010-02-25

The Eco-Drive chronograph canvas is everything I expected...nice timepiece with simplistic yet stylish good looks. As with other reviews...unless you have an exceptionally small wrist have another band ready. I had pre-purchased a zulu military green band that fits the bill perfectly.

 "Great Every Day Watch" 2010-02-18
By T. Fleming
I got this watch two months ago for Christmas. Since then I have been really happy with it. The militaristic look is a cool contrast to my clean cut/ modern wardrobe. I have only worn metal bands in the past, but the canvas/ leather one is really comfortable. And I like that I can adjust the size when my writs swells in the heat.



The chronograph is good, and I like how the large red second hand is the stop-watch second hand. I have noticed that when I zero the chronograph, the red second hand naturally rests between 59 and 00 seconds. This kind of annoys me, but not enough to take it in for repair.



If I could, I would make two changes to the watch. I would rather the 24 hour dial on the face be a second time zone. And it would be cool if when you hold the reset "B" button, it showed the percentage charge of the battery. Then this would be the perfect watch!



As for the battery, I live in Canada. I spend less than an hour a day outside, and always wear long sleeves and a coat. I have had no problem maintaining the battery at full change.



Overall: great watch for the price!

 "Great Watch for The Price!" 2009-12-21
By Nonprophet (Portland, Oregon)
Like other's have said, this is NOT an eco-drive watch!!!



I've owned diver's watch and chronographs for years--mostly Seiko, Citizen, Bulova, etc. This watch looks great, works great, and for under $200 is a great value. My only complaint so far would be that the blue face is much more subdued in color--I was hoping for a brighter, more vibrant blue. Still, I really like the watch, and it's nearly impossible to find a Chronograph that displays the DAY and date, a feature I really like!!

 "Love the watch" 2008-04-11
By Capitalist Tool (Newtown, PA USA)
I like the chrono function, the waterproof nature, the corporate style all in one watch. I can wear this to work, then to the gym and go swimming, then back to work, without looking like a digital watch geek (which i clearly am because I like the stp watch and timing functions!). Makes an attractive and extremely functional watch. 5 stars.

 "Beware: this is not an Eco-Drive (solar) watch" 2008-03-25
By Aufton Wunderbar (Seattle, WA USA)
Although this watch had features I wanted, and was advertised as solar, when I received it I found it was not an Eco-Drive watch. Amazxon staff were never able to determine why there was a discrepancy between the product description and the product. I returned the watch and should get a full refund.

 "Cheap citizen watch, has its flaws" 2009-06-15
By RampantAndroid (Seattle, WA)
I've owned this watch for about a month now, and it was a gift...that said, I'm giving serious consideration for getting a better Citizen Watch. My main gripe with the watch is that its band is rather "chunky" for lack of a better word to use; most watch bands can be folded over themselves (meaning the band can make very tight bends) - not so with this band. The band is made in such a way that people with smaller wrists such as myself, will suffer. I can find no sizing of the band that fits me - I either get it so lose it slides off my wrist and down my arm, or so tight that it leaves a mark on my wrist.



On top of that, the watch is pretty primitive - the hands don't seem to line up with the markings very well, and the chronograph randomly will stop working.



A main feature I would get a better watch for would also be a perpetual calendar - the calendar on this watch assumes every month has 31 days...so at the end of some months you will need to manually adjust the date, which I find annoying. Before this watch I had a cheap Ironman, but it had a perpetual calendar that I never needed to worry about. For people who rely on their watch for the date, I highly recommend looking at some of the Citizen watches with a perpetual calendar feature.



All in all, this watch looks like a Fossil watch, but has the Citizen name on it. The band scratches easily, but as it is just brushed steel, the scratches won't show up that well, which is a good thing. I've bumped the crystal a few times on hard surfaces, but it hasn't scratched...yet.



The watch face certainly looks good in my opinion - the dial is a nice deep blue.



Late edit: Well, the crystal has scratched finally. A few times. I take the watch off when at my computer so I don't do too much harm to it...and yet there the scratches are. Out of curiosity to see how I did it, I grabbed one of my kitchen knives (hardened steel) and tried to scratch it...no luck (as expected. Quartz Crystal is a higher MOH than steel.)



Also, the band is taking a pretty bad beating...just daily use has left it scratched up quite a bit. Since this is stainless steel and not titanium it doesn't show up that much, but the scratches are there.

 "Could be better." 2009-03-31
By J-Grizzle (Zebulon, NC USA)
I own three Citizen watches, ranging in price from $400 to $129, and have been extremely pleased with them. I bought this one to give as a gift, and it does not reach the same standard as the others I bought. I guess for the price it is reasonable, but it just feels... cheap. It reminds me of Fossil watches-- extremely heavy bracelet, chunky, etc. In fact, you can get a nicer Fossil watch for the money you spend on this one. Looking at the picture, it seems as if the bezel would turn, as on many watches-- but it does not. This is the first time Citizen has let me down.

 "Bom cronografo" 2009-09-13
By Paulo Garcia (Araruama, RJ, Brazil)
Comprei este relogio para substituir dois outros modelos semelhantes da Citizen e que duraram 15 anos sem qualquer manutenção a não ser troca das baterias. O diametro do relogio se mostrou um pouco pequeno para meu pulso, mas esse era um item que eu ja sabia - não foi surpresa. No mais o relogio é preciso e muito bonito, sóbrio, sem aquelas alegorias que outros modelos de fabricantes diversos teimam em 'desenvolver'.

Se existe uma coisa que poderia ser mudada é o tamanho do acumulador de minutos, que em vez de acumular 60 minutos em um mostrador tão pequeno, poderia acumular somente 30 minutos, facilitando em muito a leitura. O acumulo no outro mostrador seria progressivo , de 30 em 30 minutos .

Essa caracteristica existe em modelos da Zodiac, Breitling Navitimer, Omega Speedmaster e não seria um fator de aumento de preço.

 "Citizen Doesn't Disappoint" 2009-05-01
By Billy Bathgate (New York, USA)
I just received this watch as a gift and have been very impressed in the few days I have owned it. The watch was very easy to set as the instructions were straight forward and each hand; chronograph, hour, minute, second, are true to the markings on the face. I own another watch from a different manufacturer in which the minute hand seems to fall just short of the marker when it changes from minute to minute. The imperfection in that watch is not enough to notice at a glance but I am picky about quality. The Citizen Men's Chronograph seems to have remained true to their history of quality. I am very impressed with the look and feel of this watch as well as the quality of movement. The face of the watch has a unique, metallic-black look instead of matte black. Markers on the face as well as the hour and minute hands remain brightly lit at night after watch is placed near a lamp or bulb. One more thing I enjoyed was the weight of the watch. It is not as heavy as other watches I have owned but seems very sturdy and very well manufactured. I would recommend this watch and will continue to buy Citizen in the future with no hesitation.

I purchased this item for my husband for his 30th birthday, after looking at many Citizen watches in many stores. This one from amazon had more functions and was a better price than any others I found and was $50-$100 less. When I ordered the item it arrived via 2nd day shipping within 14 hours! WOW! The watch is very nice.
