One of the most advanced chronograph watches made by Citizen, the Eco-Drive Calibre 2100 men's titanium watch also offers stylish lines that nicely complement both business and casual couture. The chronograph timing function includes 60-minute, 12-hour, and independent second-hand subdials, as well as a center sweep 1/5-second hand. It also has a reset button that instantly returns all the chronograph registers to zero. The watch case and bracelet band links are made of titanium--which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies.
This large, round watch has a thin, flattened bezel with an exterior tachymeter reading in gray. The patterned dark gray dial face is accented by black subdials, and it offers white luminous Dauphine hands (with seconds hand) and a date function at 4 o'clock. The bracelet band is joined by a push-button clasp. Other features include a screw-back case, screw-down crown, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance to 660 feet (200 meters).
This watch is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. This watch's Eco-Drive provides a 240-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just 3.5 hours of exposure to light.
Summary of Features:
- Assembled by hand
- 1/5 second chronograph measures up to 12 hours

With this watch, Citizen came very close to making a product that would be perfect and truly compete with many better Swiss offerings.
+ The titanium case and band keep the mass low. This watch, although bigger than my Tag Heuer Aquaracer, is actually lighter.
+ The chronograph has a crisp feel and action to it. Flyback operation is a nice touch.
- The mineral glass crystal is the major negative here. If this watch came with a sapphire crystal, it would have received five stars.
+/- The alarm is a nice feature, but it is not particularly loud. If you are awake and in an office or home setting, its volume is sufficient.
+ The band is great and has only one minor flaw: The piece of metal at the clasp that connects to the first inside link is stamped sheet metal. This is a weaker design than the rest of the band, and also looks a little cheap. Given the high finish quality of the rest of the band, Citizen should look at how other companies (Tag, Movado, etc.) make this transition (with a solid link), and eliminate this weak point of their design.
+ The lume is quite sufficient. No complaints here.
+ Overall quality is superb.
+ Eco-drive has been great. Once the indicator hit the max mark, it hasn't moved since!
Overall, I am quite satisfied.
UPDATE:
At six months of ownership and wearing it most days, I have two comments:
* The coating on the titanium does indeed wear off. It doesn't look too bad, but it does happen.
* The crystal did get a minor scratch already. Hard to see, but I know it's there. If it were sapphire, there would probably be no scratch.

Do you want an elegant watch? A watch that can be worn with anything, Titanium made and really beautiful... this is how I would describe my new Calibre 2100. It came fully discharged but in about 2 hours it will be fully charged under sun light and ready to be worn! The "official" picture is not as good as it looks in real life, check the customers-uploaded pictures, they are more realistic and give a better glimpse of it.

Had few watches before this one. Got this about a month ago. I have used it every day since i received it. I suggest to shop on ebay if you are trying to find a good deal, saved over 50% off the retail. the craftsmanship of this watch is mindblowing. I never had a watch that i want to wear everyday, I do with this one. I will guarantee that the pictures on the web do not give this watch any justice. If it's been out in the sun for few minutes, and you bring it inside, its got the most beatyful blue dial dots to it. You will not be dissapointed and if you are, got 5 years warranty. unheard of. Buy with confidance. best looking watch I have ever seen. I suggest to pay the extra $40 or $50 and get Titanium cuz its lighter (significantly) and it is skrach proof. I work delivering furniture to peoples houses so the watch gets bang up arround quite a bit. Month and a half later and its still looks like brand new. Some say the crystal is eazy to break or scratch. I say its bunch off bull. Had some big metal parts and door frames hit by, make me think that the glass is done. Not at all. Very impressive and stylish for any occasion. Big dial looks good on a bigger or smaller hand. Absolutley best, hands down.

this watch is a very stylish watch that can be worn for business casual events. i got compliments from all my friends and co-workers on the choice. the light charging function adds to its "charming" effect and makes it more eco-friendly. surprisingly the bracelet is extremely light at first i thought it was poor quality aluminum but it turns out to be titanium. i heard that one draw back is the glass which is not scratch proof, till now i have not scratched it, and hopefully will never do!

Had watch for one week before one of the reflectors separated from above the 2 dial. Returned product for a full refund. It is a shame. A very nice watch otherwise. But for $450, I don't want to have to worry about my watch breaking.
