Product Description:

The Citizen Aqualand stainless steel men's chronograph watch will make a powerful statement when worn with both business and casual dress, but it's made to take the punishment of deep-water diving with its 200 meter (660 foot) water resistance. It also features a depth sensor that provides an accurate reading to 125 feet and will also record your maximum depth into memory. It's powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artifical 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 60-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just two hours of exposure to light.

This watch has a large, round silver stainless steel watch case--which measures 44mm (1.73 inches) wide and 16mm (0.63 inches) deep--that's topped by a unidirectional rotating bezel with black engraved elapsed time markings. The black dial background features three subdials (for the 50-minute chronograph, 24-hour display, and seconds), large luminous dial markers, luminous white-tipped hands (with red seconds hand). It's completed by a comfortable, durable rubber strap. Other features include a large date display at 3 o'clock, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and screw-back case, screw-down crown.

Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if the Eco-Drive watch is getting enough light?
In normal use, the watch displays the time and the sweep-second hand moves in one second intervals. A very important feature of Eco-Drive is the Low Charge Warning Mode which as a result of low battery voltage, causes the second hand to jump two seconds at a time (while still keeping correct time).

How long will an Eco-Drive watch run after it is fully charged?
If your watch is put away where no light is available to it while in a fully charged state, depending on the model, it will run for from 45 days to 5 years.

How can the Eco-Drive watch be recharged?
Besides sunlight, it can be safely charged by exposing it to a fluorescent desk lamp, with the dial (face) up and within about 8 inches or an incandescent lamp (regular light bulb) no closer than 20 inches. Never use a halogen lamp since the heat generated by it can cause damage to your watch. The most efficient and the quickest is in direct bright sunlight (not windowsill) and never on the dashboard of a car.

Warranty
This Citizen watch is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship and to meet the specified timekeeping accuracy for a period of five years from the date of original retail purchase. It does not cover the power cell, crystal, crown, or bracelet/strap. It also does not cover damage caused by accident, scratches to the case, or moisture damage to a watch not marked "water resistant." This five-year limited warranty will be honored only by service centers in the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean; service centers located in other parts of the world will only provide warranty service for the first year.

About Citizen
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 wach 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.

What a great long lasting watch! Product Reviews

OK, I've owned this watch for about 5 years and didn't think anything about it. Oh, I thought it was a great looking watch and I love wearing it but still, it was just a good looking watch. Then I really thought about it... I've owned this watch (one of about 10) for 5 years and haven't had to do anything to it! I've never done anything but put the watch on and receive compliments. I've never had to bring the watch in for service to change the battery because the battery never needs to be changed. I've never even had to replace the band. At times I've not worn the watch for a good month or so and it's still keeping time. One good day in the sun and the battery is back to a full charge. HOW COOL!

I'm 6' and 177lbs. If the size and weight of a watch really matters to you then this may not be a watch for you. This watch is a little large and a touch heavy for most people. Personally, I don't mind the size and I don't notice the weight.

This watch even has a built in battery level indicator. For the most part it's read for me that the battery level is either (LV1) a very sufficient charge or (LV2) a full charge. Only once in five years have I ever seen the level indicator read (NG) needs charging. Still, it was keeping time.

Only people that own this watch will understand what I'm about to say. When you put this watch on you really feel that you are wearing a watch that is so indestructible that all other watches cower in its presence. This watch is not only well built, but it's built to last. Oh yea, it has a depth gauge and it's a really accurate gauge. I don't dive but I'm in the water A LOT so I know the gauge is working accurately. If I had to choose one and only one watch from my collection that I had to wear for the rest of my life this is one of two I would have to decide from. The other is also a Citizen.

Citizen makes a great watch. Most of my watches are Citizen's so yes, I do have a biased opinion. So what! I've owned them for many, many years and they continue to work. I love this watch!
