Pros: No battery change needed, great looking watch. Fits great even on a narrow wrist.
Cons: A bit on the heavy side, but thats expected with a stainless steel watch /case.

Very elegant with simple looks. Not gawdy or bulky. I'm 5'10" and weigh in at 230 pounds and am medium framed and this is the perfect size watch for both everyday and dress up days. I wear mine to church as well as working on the tractor and other equipment. I shower with it, swim with it, relax in the hot tub with it, I hardly ever take it off except when I know it will likely get damaged or expose me to a safety risk. I like it so much that I keep a spare around so that when it's time to replace the crystal from getting all scratched up I am not without my favorite watch. I've only had to get the crystal replaced once in 4 years but when it is time again I'll just box it up, send it back to Citizen like the last time and it will become the spare when it comes back! Great watch, I doubt you'll be disappointed.

My husband saw this watch on Amazon and knew it was what he wanted for his Father's Day present. He has worn it every day and is so happy with it. He can wear it to the office, to the beach, about anywhere he chooses and always feels comforatable and stylish.

I purchased this watch for my husband for Christmas. He really likes it but it is very difficult to read the writing around the dial, you need a magnifying glass and even that isn't that clear. It is a good looking, sturdy, waterproof watch, good for every day use.

My father gave me this watch after he got frustrated setting it the first time. As other reviewers have stated, the setup is arduous, but the included instructions are very helpful.
Despite that rocky start, it is now my favorite everyday watch. I have a more formal watch that I wear to work most days, which I mention because originally I was concerned that the Eco-Drive would not work if the watch sat in my dresser drawer some days. For a period of several months I only wore it on the weekends, and typically left it sitting on top of the dresser at other times, and that was plenty of light to keep it going (after leaving it in the sunlight for a few days at first for a full "charge"). When it sits in the drawer or in a dim space, the second hand stops moving to preserve charge, and this feature helps tremendously. I also haven't noticed any problems resulting from it slipping behind the cuff of my shirt sleeve and not getting enough light; it seems to charge very effectively with just occasional exposure to light.
When I am wearing it, I have particularly appreciated the perpetual date feature (obviating resets of the date after short months) and the local time feature (which allows you to set a time that is a specified number of hours ahead of or behind your normal time zone). The local time feature is particularly helpful for me as a pilot, because I can set UTC (Zulu) as the local time and switch over when I'm doing flight planning.
Two complaints, both of which are relatively minor in regular use:
(1) If you use the local time feature and you cross a date with the timezone adjustment, then the watch has to cycle through its dating function, and the date function can't go backwards, so sometimes you have to sit and wait for the watch to cycle through 31 days, which takes a few minutes as you are setting your local time. After a couple of times, what I've just written will make more sense and you'll learn to set the local time in advance during the middle of a day to avoid this problem.
(2) The stopwatch readout for minutes is in the upper-right mini-dial, and because that dial is calibrated in tenths of hours (six-minute increments), it can be challenging to read the stopwatch time. Not a big problem for me, but if you expect to use the stopwatch frequently, I would call that a deal-breaker.
