Men's Eco-Drive Sport Luxury PCAT Chronograph Watch

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.

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.

I am very satisfied with my purchase. The sub $500 CHRONO you never have to wind or put in a storage winder to keep it running. I have a 6.5 inch wrist and the 42 mm case and lug to lug 48 mm is right on the edge for me. I needed to remove 3.5 links to make it fit. There are several best practices to follow in order to push the pins out and reinstalling them. The pins are held in with a compression coupling/ring that is about 3mm long. I had to use my pin removal tool and tweezers to reinstall the pin and coupling. Be mindful when removing the pin as the compression coupling may get stuck and fall out somewhere you may not like or find. I really appreciate the finish on this watch and bracelet. Being titanium I also like how light it is. I own several titanium watches and this is one I will wear daily.

Perfecto

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

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.
