Men's Sport Casual Garrison 3-Hand Date Eco-Drive Leather Strap Watch, Arabic Markers, Stainless Steel, Field Watch

A solid 5-star watch. The combination of Eco-Drive and 10 bar water resistance is great. The look is more on the utility/field side than elegance side, but it is elegant enough that it will not look out of place in a suit-and-tie situation. I think this look, appropriate both for casual and formal occasions, makes it more universally usable than the elegant watches that would look odd with a casual outfit. I didn't think I would like the leather strap, I find bracelets more practical. But I dig the strap now. It's taking a bit of time to wear in, but after a couple of weeks it's already taking the shape that is comfortable to my wrist. It looks great, and I now realize it's nice to have a watch with a strap in my collection, for variety. I got the blue dial version, and it does not have any glare that some other customers are reporting. Looks like the glare might only be pertinent to the black dial variant. I really feel for the folks who prefer the black color. Personally, i find the blue really great. It's dark and understated (not a shiny sunray variety), but decidedly good looking. And then in the bright sunlight it will suddenly shine, and look beautiful a bit differently. Kudos to Citizen for finding this colorway. Great size. I wanted a large watch and that's what it is. What could be better: The date window is tiny, and the date wheel is sitting deep in it, pretty much impossible to read the date. Oh well. Given it's field character and the price category, I wish it had luminous hour markers. But only the hands are luminous. Anticipating that the strap will wear out with time, I looked into genuine Citizen replacement straps, and couldn't find this model. Also, I was originally thinking of replacing the strap with a bracelet, and I still think this might be my scenario in the future. So far it feels like the 21 mm lug width is very exotic, and not many options out there are available. And yeah, sapphire crystal would have been an improvement. But mineral crystal is not a deal breaker for me. With all of that said, I love this watch. I look at it and feel that I'm having a good time. Every pun is always intended. 5 stars.

I have always liked Citizen watches. This Eco-Drive Garrison keeps perfect time and is recharged by any light. The leather strap fits well and feels good. At 40 mm, the dial is fairly large and is very easy to read.

super watch ,Great everyday watch with a clean, classic field design. The Arabic numerals are easy to read, and the Eco-Drive technology is a huge plus—no battery changes needed. It keeps accurate time and feels durable enough for daily wear. The leather strap looks good, though it can feel a bit stiff at first. Water resistance is solid for normal use, and the overall size is comfortable on the wrist. A reliable, good-looking watch with excellent value for the price.

The case and crown are very nicely finished. The strap it ships with is also well made and well finished. The seconds hand lands precisely on the indices on the dial. All three hands are painted white and contrast well against the dial making the time easy to read. The dark navy blue has a nice matte metallic like finish. The numerals and indices are painted on, which is fine at this price point. They're crisp and easy to read. However, the choice to use luminous paint only on the hour and minute hands, but not on the seconds hand, nor anywhere on the dial is a bit odd. It's a flieger style dial, so it should have lume on all hands and the hour indices, or just leave it off entirely. The other issue is the date complication. In keeping with the flieger / field watch styling, Citizen chose to omit a cyclops and use a small date wheel and a tiny date window that's just big enough to frame the date, with almost no negative space on any side. Since this is an Eco-Drive watch which houses the solar cell within the dial, the result is a thick dial, so it casts shadows on the date indicator. This makes it very difficult to read the date, even head on. The watch would look better without the basically unusable date window. Those couple of criticisms aside, it's a great looking watch that merges classic German flieger styling with a more dressed up finish along with the accuracy and durability of modern Japanese solar quartz movement. It's a super versatile watch that can go from casual to formal with ease. At the current closeout prices it's a great value, but I wouldn't pay anywhere close to full retail for it.

I needed a larger dial watch since my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I didn't want an automatic watch because I don't wear a watch daily and didn't want to have to reset it every time I go to wear it. This watch arrived without instructions but I located them online easily. Setting up the date and time was simple and the watch was partially charged when I got it. I've had it for over a week and it's keeping perfect time. It is very light weight for a relatively large dial. The band is high quality and very comfortable. The hands are luminous and easily seen in the dark. (The numbers are not luminous) The dial is very very dark green, almost black. If the date function is important to you, you won't want this watch. The date window is very small and hard to read. When I'm not wearing it I leave it on a windowsill during the day or under a lamp in the evening and it remains charged and ready to go. It's a very attractive watch and gets a lot of compliments. High quality at a reasonable price.

My job matches the work clock to the world atomic clock daily (railroad worker). I needed an accurate watch that I could adjust the seconds sweep to match the master clock. YES, this watch can stop the seconds hand to synchronize time. I've had my watch for a week and during that time, it has kept accuracy to the second all week without adjustment. That is all I really cared about. With function aside, I like the size and weight of the watch. It is large enough to read easily, but is not cumbersome nor overly heavy or bulky. The date feature is a nice touch and I would not want any additional complications. Some people have complained about the band, but I do not have any complaints about it (I find it better than average). The cost was a little more than I intended to spend for a piece of work required kit, but now that I have lived with the watch, I have come to really love it. I have received a few compliments for it, especially due to the dark navy face, which matches the rail uniform. If the watch continues to keep its accuracy, I might get a second one. (Most of my coworkers carry two watches.)

I've had it for a week. As long as it proves reliable I'm totally pleased with this watch. I didn't want a piece of jewelry. I wanted a time keeping device. I wanted something that was the right size for my wrist. 42 mm works well. I wanted a plain dial with numerals for each hour and easily visible second markers. This is better than I hoped for. It exceeds my aesthetic requirements. The date window is small enough that it doesn't interfere with the design of the dial. The lume is satisfactory for me. I have the "blue" dial. The blue is very dark and has to be viewed in bright sunlight at an angle to look blue. I like that. It's very rare for me, but this is exactly what I was looking for.

I have been a fan of Citizen Ecodrive for decades. They make high quality watches. Large number, blue dial, brown leather band. The hands are luminus but not the numbers.

I loved the dial and strap. I have a large collection of watches but this does get a lot of wrist time

EN TUS MANOS SE SIENTE LA CALIDAD DE LOS MATERIALES DE LA CAJA, DEL CRISTAL, DE LA CARÁTULA Y DE LA CORREA, ASÍ COMO EL PESO DEL RELOJ. CALIDAD JAPONESA CITIZEN, SUPER EXACTO Y ECOLÓGICO. COMO DETALLES QUE NO ME GUSTARON FUE QUE SOLO TIENEN ILUMINACIÓN LAS MANECILLAS LOS NUMEROS NO; Y LA CORREA PARA MI MUÑECA NO ES MUY COMODA SE GIRA UN POCO AUNQUE SI ES DE BUENA CALIDAD. EN GENERAL SI LO RECOMIENDO ES DE BUEN TAMAÑO (42mm) Y DE FÁCIL LECTURA.

Beau design , qualité exceptionnelle

ive had citizen eco watch for 25 years , never missed a beat.

Perfeito lindooooo
