## Description

A watch like this says you mean business. Crafted in stainless steel with a black dial, luminous hands, date indicator and sophisticated black leather strap. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number J165. A revolutionary timepiece, the Citizen Men's Strap Eco Drive Watch definitely deserves a closer look. This watch's Eco-Drive technology is fueled by light, so it never need winding or a battery. Its outward presentation begins with a 40mm stainless steel case and bezel. These stainless steel elements hug a bold black dial, which is protected by a hardened mineral crystal and features silver-toned stick markers and hands powered by reliable Japanese quartz movement. The dial also features white second markers around the outer rim and a date display window at the 3 'o clock position. A stylish synthetic leather band looks great as it comes to a reliable buckle clasp. Since its foundation in 1930, CITIZEN has promoted a multi-cultural mindset that fosters excellence and creativity. The very name of the brand conveys a deep respect toward craftsmanship and considered as familiar by citizens the world-over. So as a “citizen” of the world, we bear the responsibility to help cultivate a culture of positive change and on-going evolution through our craft. We take that mission seriously and steadfastly welcome what the future may bring. As a true manufacture d’horlogerie, CITIZEN integrates a comprehensive manufacturing process from creating individual components to a watch’s final assembly. It’s an artisan’s approach to watch making based on pushing forward the boundaries of technology and leveraging our experience toward exploring new possibilities. One pivotal technological breakthrough was the development of a light-driven watch. CITIZEN pioneered this engineering innovation well ahead of other watch manufacturers as early as 1976, which led to the launch of the highly acclaimed Eco-Drive in 1995. Utilizing electrical power converted from virtually any light source, this extraordinary innovation changed forever the way watches could be powered. Eco-Drive eliminated the need to ever replace batteries, which made it especially beneficial to areas where such specialist batteries were not obtainable. This leveled the field for citizens of virtually every country to be able to experience unrestricted joy of wearing and using a CITIZEN watch. The product development policy, “The Fusion of Technology and Beauty,” remains a constant motivation for us to merge cutting-edge technology with perfection of design beauty, which as a consequence inspires people to strive to be their best at any time. CITIZEN launches a new campaign in collaboration with Wieden+Kennedy, Better Starts Now. This is the simple belief that no matter who you are or what you do, it is always possible to make something better — and now is the time to start doing it. We believe that better and now are both infinite, and that there is always a next ‘better’ and a new ‘now’ in which you can start pursuing it. It was clear from the onset of this project that we are dedicated to this ideal…not to the past but to the present, and all the way we can improve it. To help communicate this belief to the world we have created a new global CITIZEN brand movie, brand identity and brand website that represents out Better Starts Now philosophy.

Review: Beautiful quality watch - This watch is beautiful, elegantly simple, and works perfectly. The date display is perfectly sized. Unlike some watches I own, I can easily read the date on this one. I particularly wanted the solar charged battery that drives this watch. This is my second Citizen watch with the solar powered battery. I also purchased another one for my son a few years ago that he loves and wears daily. Citizen pioneered this technology and it works superbly. I will be reluctant to ever again purchase a watch that requires a traditional battery that wears out and requires replacement. When I first took this watch out of its box and set the time, it initially ran a little slow and did not keep time accurately. But, after allowing it to be exposed to light for a little while (less than an hour), I re-set it and it has kept perfect time since. I would have preferred a genuine leather wrist band. I will get one if and when I need a replacement band. But the one that comes with the watch is certainly attractive, comfortable and functional and you have to feel it and look very closely to notice it is not genuine leather. I give this watch five stars!
Review: This has been my favorite watch since the day I received it - This has been my favorite watch since the day I received it. I had reservations about owning a watch without a second hand, but the lack of one serves only to add to the solid feel of this watch. I set it on the day it arrived and to this day, I've not needed to adjust the minute hand at all. Sometimes when I'm still up at midnight, I hear my cell phone 'hum' to mark the beginning of a new day. When I look at my watch, it has been and continues to be as perfectly centered on the twelve o'clock mark as my eyes could ever detect and I'm a tad fastidious (ocd) when it comes to things like that. In fact, the second hand has been an issue with watches I've owned in the past. If it wasn’t clicking' exactly on the second markers around the face of the watch, I’d feel disappointed in the watch’s quality. As I write this, coincidently, I need to adjust the watch for Daylight Savings Time. (March 8. 2015) I received the watch on November 13, 2014. If things go as well as they have so far, I won't need to make any adjustments until Daylight Savings Time ends on November 1, 2015. Besides functioning as well as anyone could reasonably expect, this watch looks great. It’s easy to see the time at a glance, day or night. The hands and the hour markers around the face sparkle with a highly polished surface that I could have lived without, nevertheless, it has sort of grown on me and I really like it when I’m wearing it at formal affairs. The tiny window where the day of the month is displayed is a feature I could live without as well. I never really use it and if that’s something you want to use, you better have very good eyesight. All in all, I’m very pleased with this watch and I would recommend it to anyone without reservation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice watch for the money
*by R***F on March 15, 2018*

A really nice watch for the money. It makes a good work watch that you probably won't mind getting a little scratched and dinged up. It's thin, light and you'll probably forget you're wearing it. It keeps accurate time and with eco-drive you don't ever have to worry about batteries. The fit and finish are very good, the only thing I didn't like is the weird sort of rounded over edge of the case sides. I would have preferred a more defined edge to the case, but with the brushed finish and rounded edge it doesn't catch much light and kinda goes unnoticed on the wrist. The strap was too thickly padded and doesn't really match this watch in my opinion. The design of the dial and the thin profile works well with button up shirts and polos, but it looked out of place with t-shirts or more casual clothing. From the viewing distance of an observer, the dial of this watch looks classier and more expensive than the competing Seiko SNK795, though the Seiko is still a nice watch, comes with a steel bracelet, and the overall shape and design seem to work with more styles of clothing and occasions. The Seiko is also an automatic and that seems to matter to a lot of people, but for this price point and for daily/work purposes I prefer the more convenient and accurate time keeping of this Cititzen watch. There's no seconds hand which might bother some people, but if you already have a few watches all with seconds hands it makes the look of this one more unique and interesting.
