Description:
Designed for today's active woman, the silver-tone Citizen Eco-Drive 180 World Watch for women offers a sleek, contemporary design. This mid-sized, stainless steel timepiece features a black dial that's accented by silver stylized hands and a mix of stick and Roman numeral dial markers. The silver stainless steel bracelet band features links that mix brushed and polished finishes, and it's joined by a push-button folding safety clasp. Other features include a date function at 3 o'clock, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet). p 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 178-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just 2 hours of exposure to light. p bAbout Citizen/bbr One of the world's largest watch makers, the Citizen Watch Company was founded in 1924 in Japan from its beginnings as the Shokosha Watch Research Institute. The first watch released by the company was named "CITIZEN" and its name was selected so that it would be "close to the hearts of people everywhere." Today, Citizen is recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced timepiece technology, from the world's slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch to the world's first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor. Citizen was also the first to sell watches made with titanium in the world, which is not only light and durable but also non-allergenic (as stainless steel can be to some wearers). Most recently, Citizen has released watches powered by its Eco-Drive, which runs continuously in any kind of natural light or artificial light for a lifetime of use without changing a battery.Get more product details from Amazon

I'm loving this watch.It's just as shown in the picture.
br /I'm 54 years old and wanted a watch that would make easier for me to see the time even without my glasses on.
br /This is the one. The anti-reflective coating on the mineral crystal really works, the black dial combined with the white hands and time markers allow you to see the time precisely.
br /I'm used to wear my watch at all times, When I'm at the gym, When I'm swiming, etc. and it's of utermost importance the watch is 100% waterproof. The 330ft waterproof feature is just perfect for me. Few women's watches have that feature.
br /It's not a mid size watch though it's rather small: 6mm thick, 2.4 diameter total, and 1.9mm diameter, just the black dial alone.
br /Not having to replace batteries of course is a plus, also because once the watch has been opened for battery replacement, the waterproof feature in most watches I've had goes away...
br /Great price, wonderful timepiece!
br /
br /
br /UPDATE July 12, 2008:
br /I've had this watch on my wrist long enough now. Just wanted you all to know it works as great as the day I got it. Precise time display, no leakage (I swim with it). Just perfect!!!

This Citizen watch is an excellent performer. The face is easy-to-read, the band comfortable to wear, and knowing that I won't have to change batteries down the line because of the eco-drive is a great comfort. I wasn't able to remove the watchband links on my own to fit the band to my wrist, but a local jeweler made the adjustment for a nominal fee. This watch is both a dependable everyday timepiece as well as a classy accessory for more formal occasions.
Unbeatable watch

This is a very classy, gorgeous watch. I adjusted the band on my own, and that's all I needed to do before wearing it. To get the watch started, I just placed the watch under a mini lamp. I get a lot of compliments on the watch. It's not too big and not too small. Just right. It's a beauty! Plus, I know the battery will never die because I always wear it in sunlight. Best watch ever made and owned!
great gift for a special lady

I gave this watch to my Mother for her birthday last year and she loves it. It looks and feels great. The styling is very nice and the price is right where you might hope a very good watch like a citizen might be. The eco drive hasn't been noticed which I think is a good thing because when it comes to watches the only expectation that we can reasonably have is that they will work all the time, and this one does. She tells me how much she likes it and that makes me happy. I'd highly recommend this product to anyone. Even enemies you ask?
Great Watch

Purchased for my wife to avoid having to replace batteries. She loves the watch and has received many compliments. Only minor issue is she can't read the date without reading glasses (might have something to do with her age but she keeps telling me she's thirty something. Easy to set the time and date and love not having to replace batteries. I have a Citizen Eco-Drive with the perpetual calendar and it has performed perfectly for over five years. I expect the same to be true with this watch.

I wanted a watch to wear while swming and I just came back from vacations and I really love it. One of the biggest advantages is that it is solar powered. No batteries to change EVER

Citizen Eco-Drive Women's Stainless Steel Watch #EW0620-52E
br /As a pediatric nurse practitioner in a busy Surgery Center, I see between 25 and 30 children each day in preparation for surgery. I wash my hands before seeing each child. Every time I've had a battery reach the point of being replaced, the jeweler has cautioned me that the waterproof guarantee will be null if he opens the case. I decided that replacing watches after replacing batteries and destroying the waterproof seal was silly, and began the hunt for an alternative. The Citizen ecodrive watch is the perfect solution. Now, if I only had access to sunshine during work hours...

One of the few women's watches that is not too small, is easy to read, has a second hand and a date window. I have two complaints though. The date window could be a bit bigger, it can be difficult at times to read. And the size adjustment of the bracelet could be better, it is done by removing links only. I would like to see the adjustment at the clasp, with links as the last resort. Other than that, it is a nice clean design that seems to draw favorable comments.

This watch fits me very well. It is easy to read the time anytime, even in the dark place. Eco-drive is also a good feature that you do not need to change the battery.
great deal!!

I purchased this for myself while xmas shopping on amazon. I need a watch but mostly go without one because they are usually in my jewelry drawer with dead batteries! This watch has lovely styling, attractive bracelet and face. The price CANNOT be beat. I priced citizen ecodrive in the department stores and they ran around $200. Yeah- no battery!!
Nice looking watch for a good price

As always, Amazon delivered. The watch was for my girlfriend and she loves it. She loved the fact that she will never have to put in a battery, just put it on and forget about it.
I love eco-drive

This is my second Citizen eco-drive watch. The first one being a gift in gold tone, gold-plate? Whatever. Since I'm too lazy to replace watch batteries, these watches are wonderful.
br /I love this stainless steel watch. It's a bit weighty, perhaps a little masculine for a woman's watch, but easy to read and of course it "glows" in the dark. Needless to say; easy to set and forget! I don't really use the calendar, but it's there if you need it.

This is a great watch, I love it. I did have to take it to a jeweler to have links removed as we were afraid we might ruin it if we tried it at home.
Lovely!

I have always loved Citizen's watches.I have a gold tone one that is probably about 10 years old and still looks great and runs well. But I hate having to buy batteries!

br /This watch is very very nice. I like the glow in the dark hands and numbers, love the silver tone because all my jewelry is silver. Very classy looking! I am quite pleased with my choice.

br /My only question is why are they shipping through USPS? That kinda fazed me just a little.

I love that this watch runs on solar power, so I never have to worry about replacing a battery. Aesthetically, it looks great and can be worn anytime, being able to fit a casual look, a formal look, or anything in between. This watch is a great value and great quality. I am completely satisfied.

I got this watch after always having to replace batteries in my old Timexes. I also always had to replace the bands and could never find one that actually matched the watch itself. The clasps sometimes broke though the watches themselves probably "keep on ticking!" This Citizen watch is beautiful! It is the perfect face size with easy to read white roman numerals on a black background.The wrist size is perfect for me- I didn't even have to remove a link since I don't like the band too tight.(I have a medium size wrist.) It is still as shiny and new looking as the day I got it two months ago! The date is one day ahead because when winding it I guess I went to far, but it can be corrected. Sometimes I can't see the date even with reading glasses on and since I don't really use that feature it doesn't bother me. I also notice at times that it glows in the dark somewhat but not for long and not all the time????? Aside from these minor things I absolutely love this watch and hope to have it for years to come!
Comfortable, stylish, eco-friendly!

This watch definitely looks better than the picture suggests. It fits great- not too big, yet easy enough to read. I like how you can dress it up or down. I find it really comfortable and I look forward to wearing it for many years to come thanks to the Eco-Drive design.
Excellent watch.

I bought two of these for my twin daughters. They are proud and wear these regularly. One asked me when she should get the battery replaced. Surprise! these never need a battery because they are powerd by the most common energy source.... Light. I have my own Eco-Drive watch and love the fact that I only have to expose to room light to keep it going for years. I chose this design because it was identical to a watch they gave me for father's day years ago. Now we are all twins.

I purchased this watch for my wife for Christmas. She loved it and was very happy, but within a week the watch face had a nice scratch down the front of it. My wife couldn't think of anything she may have done that might have done it. She called the companies customer service about it, but of course, the crystal is not covered under warranty. She wore a $20 Timex for 3 years and it never got a scratch on it like this. Anyway, we are going to have to take it to a jewellers and get the crystal buffed out or replaced.
