Review: A great well-made watch - I like Citizen Eco-Drive watches, I like to use them as work watches, they’re a decent size, they’re really well made and very reliable and because they’re solar powered you’ll never have to go out of your way to get a replacement battery. I’ve got nine Citizen Eco drives and they’ve all been great and very reliable but I’ve had the same issue with most of them; the standard canvas straps aren’t great and WILL fall apart after 6-12 months so do yourself a favour and replace it before it fails and potentially damages the watch, I’ve put a grey 22mm NATO Zulu strap on mine for less than a tenner (see pics). I really like this particular model, I have the other colour versions they do, I like the clean face design and particularly like the Arabic numerals, and the day is also displayed in addition to the date which is nice. The watch is a good size, if you have large wrists like myself then a lot of watches can seem ridiculously small but no problem here. The lume is decent. It’s reminiscent of military watches in particular the Pulsar RAF issue watch. I do feel it that Citizen should have fitted a chapter ring to this watch, the case of this watch is quite deep so it could easily take one. The other issue I’ve experienced is that the glass/crystal is soft mineral glass, this is to be expected at this price point but for some reason Citizen seem to use really soft glass for their mineral glass, so they pick up scratches really easily. In summary; a really nice budget watch, really well made and a decent size, just be mindful that the strap is the weak point.

## Features

- Eco Drive Drive: Eco Drive is a core technology from Citizen, which generates electricity even in low light and allows watches to run for six months even in the dark
- No battery change required. Eco Drive eliminates the hle and costs of regular battery changes
- L air for over six months in the dark. A full charge is enough to run most Eco Drive models in the dark for more than six months

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the watch hands and figures luminous?**
A: Yes they are. As with all luminous things it's not long lasting and is better if the original light source was strong

**Q: How do you change straps**
A: There are retracting pins in the end of the strap where it joins the watch case. Insert a thin screw driver between the side of the strap and the case to slide the retracting pin back and angle the strap out, watch for the pin springing out when tension is released.

**Q: Is the day/date adjustment automatic or manual tia**
A: Fully automatic except when there is a month with less than 31 days. Brilliant watches, this is my second one, the last one lasting 20 years with the same battery.

**Q: What is the internal distance between lugs.. Ie the width of the top of the the watch strap please.. Is it 21mm perhaps?**
A: 22mm see video. My watch strap is 18mm. Happy New Year

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would buy again
*by A***N on 1 July 2026*

Best feature is its accuracy of timekeeping - worn, for months, hasn’t lost or gained a second. Good looking watch, very easy to read, in daytime / good lighting - but, hopeless dark / night time viewing as luminosity is very poor. Holds charge well. Strap is quite stiff and not comfortable, so replaced
