I got my Citizen Men 's Eco-Drive Perpetual Calendar Two-Tone Watch # BL5184-56L in July, 2005, and I am very pleased with it. I wear it every day, and will NOT have to worry about the battery (the Eco-drive works). By the way, I live in Wisconsin, and I work in an office, so it 's not like a watch that is the day a whole lot. This light does not get is enough, and it was never an issue. R RI wanted (needed?!) A calendar on my watch taken care of itself. I do not want to worry the end of a month, if the calendar needs repair. To watch it, once it 's set, it will work for your life time. R ri don 't use "stop the clock " too often, but works properly. I don 't think I ve ' ever used the alarm (cell phone alarm is easier to program, in my opinion). I used the time-zone feature - and that's nice to travel between two zones at any frequency. If you change the time for trips that cross several time zones, it may be a bit tricky to do right. Two occasions, said that the error, and changed the dates of many - and then I need the manual (or the Internet has great instructions too!) For how to change the date back. R rthe clasp and metal band and its links all worked fine - no issues, and again, it is used daily, and it 's now about 4 years old. A great purchase!
This watch is an excellent value. R dress watches rMany good looks are incredibly expensive, so much so in fact that I couldn 't use one of them, without worrying at all about breaking or losing it. This clock, on the other hand, is accessible and beautiful, the combination of dark blue face, the color of shining gold accents, and in the case of brushed stainless steel band and plays perfect. The pictures online really don 't do justice to everyone. It is nearly shouts "Dear! " But it 's quite reasonable, especially when you consider all the resources. R rFurther, although the clock has many functions, it isn 't one of those projects Gaudy that looks like the control panel for the shuttle. It 's not a small watch, but it ' is not a big one, the arrogant, or. R ra interesting feature is the two-button closure release of the band. It 's easy to use, but it ' s no way that the closure will accidentally fly open and drop the clock to the floor. R rCitizen has been in business for decades, and its reputation for quality is well deserved. His reputation for innovation, too, and this watch is a good example of one of his best achievements, the Eco-Drive. Once the watch is loaded when it 's exposure to light, no battery replacement, always. This is a mature technology, too. My previous Eco-Drive Watch ran as a champion for nearly 15 years before an unfortunate encounter with a washing machine claimed his life. I believe this one to do the same, and if he t 'there doesn ' s always excellent 5-year factory warranty. R RMY watch came set the correct time and date - although I 'm not know how they managed that trick. The written instructions for using the timer and features 24-hour, and to set the clock looks a bit scary at first, though a little thought makes clear. However, the package contains a CD that has flash video clips that shows very clearly how to reset everything. I don 't expect to have problems when I have to adjust it for daylight savings time. R rI feel I have much for my money. I am very pleased with the way the watch looks and functions, and based on my previous experience with a watch Citizen Eco-Drive, hoping to get many years of service out of this one.
I bought this watch for my friend and I loved him. This watch is perfect for everyday and special occasions, as a citizen constantly delivers the perfect quality and sophisticated design.
I have this watch for my husband for Christmas. He loves and is beautiful. He said that it is much easier to use the CD to set the watch instead of read instructions.It really is a beautiful clock!
The refuge praise 't stopped coming in This watch is simply the most elegant I ' ve ever owned that I would have expected for the price, and most people seem to agree. Never mind the resources (which still has me in disbelief when you consider that you don 't have a battery to change), but as my only real part of ' jewelery 'he managed to steal the conversation in meetings and casual only by how nice they seem. R rUnfortunately It 's not a perfect fit for me, as I have the pulse of small businesses, and no amount of adjustment could give you that ' s just right "feeling I get with other watches. The bands don 't wrap around as much as I like. But that aside, this is a great watch, and as it turned out, part of the conversation.
I have several watches Citizen Eco-Drive, but I love the style on this one above the other. This watch looks like a watch should be $ 1,000. I 've received many compliments and questions about it. I 'ma simple person and really only used to tell time and remember the date but the number of functions on this watch is scary when you look around and beneath the inner edge of the face where all options are listed.
I 'man, but look. I love watches. I watch as the ladies have their shoes, and select which watch to wear with care. But with my watch great collection, I kept looking for that "perfect " watch - what I could wear at any time, it would look great, keep time accurately. I think I 've finally found it! R rThis clock does exactly what I 've always wanted. And with Eco-Drive, I don 't worry about batteries at all. This watch is easy to read, seems fantastic, and the extra features are just the icing on the cake. R rmy only complaint is the date is a bit 'small for my eyes. But in general, I 've found my "perfect " Look!
This is a very enjoyable show. My husband loves to collect watches but Keeping Up With the change of battery is a worry when you have multiple watches. The Eco drive eliminates this problem and help keep more of our envirnoment battery disposal.
I am a collector. I have 4 Eco-Drive watches. I have some I bought over 5 years ago. No problems! This clock is stylish and is easy to use. Very expensive watches are not so good. BUY THIS ONE!
I received this watch as a gift after my other watch 's battery died. The Eco-Drive is a pure concept, but this is a horrible clock. From the beginning I had problems. The upper right display was between tick marks. I know there is a calibration process to adjust the tick marks it as a whole, but not to fit within the tick marks. I sent her away for Citizens and only one came back broke. We just changing the clock to a different right than properly in place. A month ago, the second hand stopped moving. I thought it was running low so I set it out in the sun for an afternoon without resolve. After having it in the sun for a week he still doesn 't work. I think he should be expelled to the service again. I even tried the reset, but no luck. I will never buy a new citizen.
I really love your watch. R RI wanted to watch a dress and a watch that I could use every day without paying any price for a Rolex or other watches very high price. R rThis one seems to fit the bill. You get a quality name, and watch a decent price for a product of this quality. R rit is a beautiful watch, it is built to last and has many nice features. It is very small and not so great that it seems in bad taste. R rthe selling point for me about this watch, as I was looking for the other two by other companies around the same price, was the eco-drive system. R RI do not have to worry about replacing the battery and therefore do not have to worry about having to order a new battery or go through the trouble of finding the right battery. R rThis watch has a perpetual calendar function to oz you configure it correctly, you never have to worry about the date being off. He also has the feature of 24 hours, an alarm clock, and place setting extra time if you need to take time in another area. R rSetting the weather is quite nice, and if done correctly it will move the hands on it 's own until the desired time. R rone point of sale for another great one item is visiting the web companies that do watch. I did this with three watches Since I was and I have to say, by far, Citizen 's site was the best. R RI'm not talking about visually pleasing I'm talking to with the information and care to give the customer good information and support. R rif you find yourself one of those people who find it difficult to set clocks, or if you're a visual person and do not do well to follow written instructions. R rthe flash media site offers instructions on how to set the hours, local time, alarm, date and other features on this watch the step by step videos that can be repeated as necessary. It is a very nice feature that shows only the care invests Citizen 's products. R resource rAnother the clock it seems that the descriptions leave out .... security is the closing of the band. R laughter has two buttons that you need to push in at the same time to release the initial goal also has a zip closure extra to keep it all in as well .... this is not a lock that will only fly open by accident, is still very easy to open, when you need to remove the clock. R thing Rone note I will say is that if the watch was in it 's package a long time, as I imagine they are deposited, as before delivery, then open the box and sit under light or under sunlight for a day or at least 5-6 hours to make sure it is fully charged.
