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. Stand at attention with these rugged military-inspired chronograph timepieces. Slip-thru canvas straps with metal rings keep the watch snug on your wrist when you are out surveying the neighborhhood.

I love this watch
I love this watch; I got it for my fiance for Christmas and I think it's pretty awesome. He really liked the face, but complained the strap was too thick where it buckles and comes back around.

Beautiful watch but have to return :(
The watch is even nicer in person than it appears here. I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my husband. Unfortunately when it arrived it was damaged. A small chip out of the watch face crystal . So, I am returning it. I feel uncomfortable reordering it. The packaging wasn't great. Box size was okay by they only put one small air-filled bubble pack to protect it. Citizen's watch box itself was great as usual. I really can't understand how it got chipped. My husband saw it and loves it. Will definitely get him this watch, just not sure from where at this point. :(

Works well, just needs a bit more armor
This is supposed to be a military quality watch yet with about a foot drop from the couch to the tile floor led to a rather noticeable crack in the display glass after only a week of ownership. Other than a preference towards tougher glass in future models, this is a fine watch whos mechanics work perfectly. I would like a military watch to actually be suited for the military though, you know, be able to go through the grind of everyday training. Imagine if it was dropped on a hard surface from a higher elevation? Oh dear...Tested it in the pool, worked great.

I love it! Almost perfect
I love it!Almost perfect!The only issue is the visibility, especially of the subdials, is a little difficult to see in suboptimal lighting.

If only ..
I liked it when I saw it the local cost saving company - a model with a mesh bracelet, anodized black. It looked beautiful! Good heft and looks-wise, it had an understated look of elegance.The watch had to go back unfortunately for a couple of reasons - my wrists proved to be too thin to carry the watch, the mineral glass was a smudge magnet and the functionality was underwhelming, especially the very small date window. At my 50+ age, I have very little use for a chronograph (what am I going to measure?) and my eyes are not sharp to see the date in the small window. That leaves the heft and build - and not much else. The mesh band was superb and the watch itself would be appreciated by someone with a better physique .. but not me.Subjective review, don't shoot the messenger! Wear it at a local shop before you spring for it ..

I really like this watch
I really like this watch. It's a watch I wear everyday. I get complimented on it quite a lot, however; I have an issue that the watch hands and numbers don't glow as much as I would like. It's very useful during the day, but in the dark it's near impossible to read the hand and numbers.

Stealth Time
There is honestly so much that can be said about Citizen Eco-Drive and the watches that they have made for several years. They honestly have made some excellent watches over the years, and they definitely have shown well, with brilliant designs, but honestly have had a few that didn't actually deliver in the long run. But overall, when it has came down to their watches, they have been good, but lately with their Drive collection of timepieces, they can be much better overall. This stealth Military solar timepiece has a nice and comfortable strap, has brilliant solar movement, and easy-to-setup date and time. What I do not like about the watch though is that there could've been better illumination on the watch, so you could honestly see the time better in the dark, and there could've been a easier-to-read chronograph as well. Considering that the timepiece is tough to read with the dark-tone hands. Still, this is a lovely watch from Citizen Eco-Drive, but not a definite buy overall.Price: CSetup & Comfort: C+Overall: C 1/2+
