The watch is beautiful, works great although I have to manually wind it sometimes even when I wear it everyday and work with my hands a lot.Overall, I'm very satisfied.

Citizen Men's JY0064-00L Eco-Drive Blue Angels Skyhawk A-T Chronograph Rubber Strap Watch Review

Very nice timepiece. Unfortunately, you will have to cut the band to adjust its length. Also, the different sub-functions (e.g. alarms, timer, stopwatch, etc.) are accessed by pulling the twist pin out one stop. This is sometimes difficult while the watch is worn. Despite this, I still love it.

Never thought I would find a perfect watch--but this is it.I have not worn anything else since I got it a few years ago.I wear it golfing, for work and on formal occasions.It always gets compliments.It has a sweet low profile--it never gets caught on anything and it doesn't snag clothing.The face has never scratched.And it's light as a feather. Perfect!!

Citizen Men's BL5345-59H Eco-Drive Titanium Perpetual Calendar Watch Review

Citizen Men's BL5345-59H Eco-Drive Titanium Perpetual Calendar Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pros(Without all of these I would have given it a rating of 1 star):
1. Looks awesome. Much better in real life than in photos.
2. Has an alarm and perpetual calendar.
3. Luminous hands work really well in the dark well into the night
4. Accurate
5. Runs for a loooong time on a single charge.
6. Easy to set.

Cons:
1. Dual-time functionality is useless because the hands take forever to show time once you select L-TM(Local time) or TME(Primary time). You can go have coffee with your girl, finish all your chores for the day, finish cooking and take a small snooze before it shows you the second time.
2. Assuming you still want to use the Dual-time functionality,secondary time can only be set by a MINIMUM OF 1HR INCREMENTS/DECREMENTS RELATIVE TO YOUR PRIMARY TIME. Ex: IST - Indian Standard Time is UTC + 5hrs 30mins. So if you live in USA you just cant set the secondary time to India because US Time Zones are in 1hr Increments. There are plenty of countries which set their time by half hour increments from UTC. You can never set these as your secondary time. This is a critical design flaw of the watch.
3. The crown moves very easily. I have often caught the hands spinning wildly because the crown brushed against my clothes and changed the mode to Local Time or Chronograph.
4. Rotating bezel moves way too easily. I can never keep the 60 aligned with the 12hr marker. It is not important to me but for some it matters.

[...] I do recommend Eco-Drive watches. They are fantastic usually. But DO NOT BUY ONE WITH A E812 Movement.

Casio Men's GW1400DA-4AV G-Shock Atomic Solar Watch Review

Casio Men's GW1400DA-4AV G-Shock Atomic Solar Watch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Looks very solid, but feels a bit heavy on the wrist.The accuracy of radio controlled ("atomic")timepieces is beyond compare.So if the "atomic signal" can be received, a $10,000+ Swiss watch will not be any more accurate.Looks like it can take a beating. A nice touch is the glass crystal, which doesn't scratch like the plastic ones. The only real issue I have is that unlike other Casio atomic watches, there is no visible receiving indicator to tell if it has indeed synched with the atomic clock in Colorado.However, being that I own several atomic watches and clocks, I can easily see that this Casio is in sync.Looks a bit casual, but much less so than the plastic G-Shock watches.Also, the analog dial, to me, is much more appealing than all-digital. All in all, a very good watch at a reasonble price. I'd rate it 4 1/2 stars.NOTE: If you are looking for a multiple alarm, databank-type watch, or one with barometers, etc. this is not the one. There are plenty of other Casio models out there.If you are looking for basic, ACCURATE solar-powered time, this is the one.

Follow-up:The new reviewer "J. Tashima" in Los Angeles is correct.You can push a button to receive "GET" which tells you the last date and time of signal reception.However, other Casio atomics have a visual "antenna" symbol, which lets you know that it has received, without having to push a button. Seems to be much more convenient, although this criticism is minor. I have noticed that the reception is slightly more "touchy" for me than the other three Casio Atomics I own, two of which are much cheaper all-digital models.The key to this one is finding a good location in your house. Holding (instead of pushing) the bottom right button (same as the "GET"), activates the manual receive function.The signal strength is shown in bars.This greatly assists in the proper placement for reception. By the way, I totally agree with "J. Tashima"...excellent review!

This watch is the second of the same model I buy. I went for a swim in the sea with the previous one and realized that it was not waterproof.
I like the look and baught a new one.
Do not expect any help from The National Geographic in case of damage to your wach. The watch is signed on their name and that's it.
Conclusion, very nice looking product, not very reliable.
