Additional details include bold numerals on a khaki dial, stainless steel black ion plating with a black strap, and 42mm screw-back case. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number E101.
Embrace the effortless black-on-black style that comes with this bold Citizen Eco-Drive watch. Imaging never having to worry about winding a watch or making sure it has a functional battery. The perfect everyday timepiece that rarely requires your attention, wearing an Eco-Drive allows you to turn your attention to the more important things in life.
Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring.
As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities.
One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch.
The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time.
CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy.

First and foremost, the watch is extremely durable. The nylon band is tough and resists fraying and fading. The face of the watch is encased with a strong, scratch resistant glass crystal that has taken a few good knocks on door frames without leaving even the smallest mark. The clasp and buckle are the only possible limitations on the watch’s durability. Although they seem to be to lightweight compared to the rest of the watch, neither the buckle nor the clasp have yet to break.
Not only is the watch durable but it has a simple design perfect for everyday wear. The Black Canvas strap has a very utilitarian design without feeling like army surplus wear. The all black case, lug and dial combination create a very modern, minimalist look. In addition to the case and dial, the hands and crown are also black. The crown is also textured with an almost studded design to it. Although I appreciate the usability of the larger crown, from a style standpoint it distracts from the simplicity of the watch’s design. Likewise, the eyelets and buckle are an area of questionable design. The buckle and eyelets are steel instead of black to match the rest of the watch, however since both are positioned on the underside of the wrist they are mostly unseen.
Even if a watch is durable and stylish, if it’s uncomfortable to wear then it won’t be suitable as a daily wear watch. Citizen EcoDrive however, is durable, stylish and comfortable. The nylon band is thick and padded. It is textured enough that it doesn’t slide around on your wrist without having to keep the band overly tight. The buckle is smooth and goes almost unnoticed once the watch is on your wrist. The band is large enough to accommodate larger wrist sizes without feeling awkward or small.
Overall the watch is a great buy. It is durable, comfortable and features an all-black, minimalist style great for everyday wear.
Came in great condition, and has worked great so far.
Please don't be fooled by the price. This is a quality watch. I was worried that this entry level Eco-Drive was gonna be a bad buy. There was a similarly styled Luminox watch that had a light feature so I could tell the time in the dark, but passed on it after I read the watch was poorly constructed. So I don't get a light with this watch, but I did get a case that seems to take bangs and dings from moving furniture, riding motorcycles, hiking or just being a plain clutz. The glass, or crystal over the dial is great too. More than once I've hit my wrist and panicked that my watch would now have some permanent white streak on the glass or silver metal exposed where the black paint had been scraped off the case but it hasn't. The case has taken a few good bangs and it does show, but it stays black. The white streaks on the crystal have been able to be removed with my nail and brought back to the original state.
Having an light powered eco drive, lets you impress people with technology aspect. More importantly, you never have to change the battery. I have more than once had a battery changed on a watch and then had to have the watch replaced because the knuckle head tech didn't tighten the case correectly and moisture got into my watch. I'm happy to know I don't have to worry about this anymore.
Seriously, the watch looks great and will get you compliments as I've received them in Boston, MA, and all the way to Portland, OR. More importantly based on my going on 2 years of everyday use, it's a durable, quality watch that shoud preserve it's orignal look and get compliments for a long time once you own it.
My one down side of the watch is it can be hard to read at times. In bars and low light conditions where it is not quite dark enough to see the hands glowing the hands can be hard to pick up on. It will take a little getting used to but there are some tricks to making it easier to see. Circle your other hand around it to block out more light so you can see the hands glow, tilt the watch till you find the perfect angle, get your eye closer to the dial, or just pull out our cell phone for this very rare case where it is too hard to see.
Citizen makes an extremely good quality watch. This is not my first watch from them and it will not be my last.

Light to wear, and like the cloth band!
The only (slight) problem I've had with this watch is with the strap. The holes are fairly far apart, so it sits either a little tight or a little loose on my wrist. Most of my other watches have the holes closer together, allowing for a more comfortable fit. I'm sure as my weight fluctuates a bit it'll be fine.
A small sacrifice for this great watch.
The watch looks cool and young and hip. My friend was saying I should keep it to make myself look young and cool. I was like "How cool am I going to look when every time I want to check my watch I have to ask someone younger to read the display for me?" She was like "You could use your phone" and I was like "That kind of defeats the purpose of the watch."
So I exchanged this for the white one, which looks less cool, but I won't feel a thousand years old squinting at it.
