Men's Eco-Drive Sport Luxury PCAT Chronograph Watch

This is a beautiful and feature laden watch. It has heft to it. It has all the features you would expect. Good water resistance. Sapphire crystal. It is fully adjustable and comfortable. "Luxury" is an apt description. It has one drawback: to me the set-up is very difficult. The manual and the learning curve to fully use this timepiece is quite long. I had to download the manual to my desktop so I could enlarge the tiny text for me failing eyesight and use a magnifier for some of the small details on the watch face. That said, there is good news in this regard and that is one of the major reasons I purchased it. (That, and previous Citizen watches I have owned.) You should just set it up ONCE. A solar battery keeps it charged, a perpetual calendar keeps track of the date for the rest of your life, and atomic timekeeping means your watch in all likelihood will keep EXACT time - which is kind of important for a watch. If it is left in the dark often, you can buy a small LED watch charger for occasional use, but most people will never need that. If you need to check the battery charge or direct the watch to connect to the atomic clock manually, you can. This is a functional work of art. I don't give 5 stars often. This one is an easy choice. It is simply the best watch I have ever owned.

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.

Initially thought this watch was to big being 42mm and having smaller wrists but I was intrigued by the functions. Went out on a limb, purchased, and have worn it more than any other watch since. The two tone is a great look and the functions are amazing. To have a watch with a perpetual calender at this price is very rare and one of the coolest functions ever. I have not used all the functions of this watch and may never use them all but the ones I have used are great. And the Atomic Timekeeping function is an amazing feature. To realize this small watch gets signals from a clock in Colorado, is powered by light and never needs a battery, AND wont need a date change until 2100...pretty incredible to me. Thanks again Citizen.

I purchased in total four Citizen watches recently including the blue Angel. I say that so that you understand that this is probably the lightest of them. I have always leaned towards a heavier watch, but this one could be an every day wear and still be comfortable. It is quite beautiful, and I have received many compliments on it. I would recommend it to a friend, which I have already done It is a quartz movement watch and does sync with the world clock in Colorado. Therefore, you rarely need to adjust it. When you go to other cities, you simply set the minute dial on the city and it will auto adjust. Look closely at the picture of the face and you can see the cities listed around the inside of the bezel. In the US that would be New York, Chicago (9), Denver, and LA, representing the different times zones. One thing to keep in mind of these solar charging watches as they runoff a capacitor/battery and it needs to stay in light to keep it charged. This watch can be out of light for days, but I would still try and sit on a shelf near a window. If you do purchase one, you will need to go online to pull the operation manual. They aren’t somewhat complex, but with some time it’s actually very easy to understand. Overall, this is a great product and very happy with my purchase!!!

I’ve had two citizen watches in my life. The first I got at 18 and used for the next 35 years. It still worked when I got my second that I’ve had for a decade. I just bought this one and I love it! The looks are great and the features too. I’ve always love the light charging feature- no battery replacement needed. And it has a perpetual calendar so you never need to adjust on less than 31 day months. The connection to the atomic clock (PCAT) keeps time to the second forever. I watch my smart phone switch to the next minute and this phone’s second hand is pointing to 12 at the exact second. I believe Citizen is the best watch brand you can get- and a fraction of the so-called luxury Swiss and French watches

Um dos melhores relógios que já tive. Excelente!

This is a beautiful watch, by far my favorite watch to date. It's very lightweight, extremely accurate (I verified to the second with the online atomic clock time.gov after a radio set +/- 15 sec per month without radio set as per online instruction manual). I did see some reviews about the strap size, I guess for some extremely heavy set guys it might be an issue but if you are like me, 6'1 210lbs, it's no problem. In fact I had to have one link removed lol. Also I confirmed with citizen two links are provided complimentary on request anyways if it is an issue. Love the titanium, and personally I don't find it complicated to set, it's automatic! Just choose your time zone. Great job citizen!

Excelente

Muy buen reloj!muy elegante! 👌👌

Received watch in good condition. But took sometime in setting it up while going online for the user manual. It is an efficient time piece, as it is an eco-drive uses UV light to energise the battery.
