This watch is designed just the way I like it.Simple and elegant, yet it smacks of quality.This watch is not small.It's big, bold, and easy to read.Using stainless steel and a thick front crystal, this watch is not lightweight either and you will feel its weight as you wear it.With that said, this watch is not "big and gaudy", nor is it too heavy.I consider it to be a "standard size aviator style watch" and I think it's just the right size, weight, and look.Unlike many black-face watches, there are no red or yellow highlights on this watch which makes it a little more dressy and less sporty than similar watches.The numbers and date window and inner dials are easy enough to read.There is a very handy stopwatch feature which is simple to use and fun to play with.The outer rotating bezel requires strong fingers to rotate it and it only rotates in one direction which makes it very unlikely to get bumped around.The leather strap is thick enough and wide enough to handle the weight.I much prefer leather to metal for compfort reasons.

Cons:The second hand doesn't move.Instead, the second hand only rotates when using the stopwatch feature.Citizen opted to use one of the inner dials to indicate the seconds for the current time.This is a minor nit-pick and it just takes some getting used to.When you first look at the watch, you are inclined to think it is not running (when it is).I wish this watch would indicate the day of the week.

I can't comment on the eco-drive feature, but it seems like a good idea.If this watch runs for more than two years without a battery change, then I will be happy.The owner's manual says this watch will run in complete darkness for 6 months before the batteries fail and then you can simply rechange the watch with exposure to artifical or natural light.Sounds great on paper.

Product Description:
The Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Strap Sport Watch has been perfected to suit both the professional man and the outdoorsman. This solar-powered Eco-Drive watch never needs a battery and remains charged for months at a time, even in the dark. Distinguished by rich black tones and chronograph technology, this watch's circular dial features three black subdials with sweeping hands over a striking black background. Textured with a grooved pattern, this background catches the light along with its overlaid frame of luminescent silver-tone bar hour markers and easy-to-read stick second markers. A large date window is perched at the four o'clock for at-a-glance reference, while the outermost dial is constructed with a tachymeter rim for computing speed (based on travel time) and distance (based on speed). This impressive dial is held by a silver-tone stainless steel case and bezel. And if you like to time short events, you'll be glad to note that the bezel is etched with Arabic second indexes in intervals of fifteen, as well as notched second markers along the first quarter-hour. A fine black leather band fastens this watch, featuring a crocodile pattern and a handy buckle clasp. Boasting a durable mineral window and the reliability of Japanese-quartz movement, this smart, distinctive timepiece is water resistant to 330 feet (100 M).
