Bought this on a cruise to the caribbean and started immersing it in water from the first day I had it. Having a waterproof watch that needs no maintenance is spectacular. I think it's only been off by a minute since I bought it. I've never run out of juice. Citizen is the only way to go. Great watch  by: hdtvset on: 15-May 2005 I bought the titanium model from ebay for $218 shipped six months ago. I can't believe it is so cheap in Amazon now. I like this watch a lot. The Eco-Drive works great. I always in love with automatic wathes. My old Casio Pro Trek triple sensors ran out of battery two times on me already. I also have a Seiko Kinetic auto relay. Since I have not been wearing my watches enough in the past (I just buy them, not wear them LOL), so my Seiko lost it's saved power. I need to re-charge it by hand and wear it more often. That makes this Largo so nice. I don't worry about the battery as long as I put it facing some kind of light. The dual time zone worked very well for me when I went to Asia for vaction. It also has battery level and alarm. I do have two things I don't like about this watch. The locking pins are so tight and hard to remove when I was trying to adjust the size of this watch. It took me a long time and some force to get it done. Also only the hour and minute arms can be seen in the dark. You can't see the hour mark. It is not a easy watch to set up. If you find the manual is hard to understand, go use the interactive setting instructions on Citizen website. I will never buy any watch without solar power again. Very nice watch, but.... by: peterb2097 on: 29-Mar 2005 Defenitely the best watch I own (I have two - the other one's a Citizen ecodrive titanium also). I really really like this watch - the hidden clasp was baffling at first but I got used to it really quickly. The watch is unbelievably lightweight and very quick to heat up (titanium?). My biggest problem is how complicated this watch is - maybe it's just me not being used to the interface, not sure - I don't need more than a watch to tell me time, tell me the date and maybe keep track of the year and leap year, automatically switch days around for the calendar and whatnot. This watch has all of this - in SPADES. But whooooo not an easy manual to follow at all for me. I'm keeping it, very very happy with the watch in all respects. I can't see how anyone would want to spend more on a full-featured watch, quite frankly! Is it just wanting to blow more money? I love the fact that the ecodrive watches 'technically' (is it true) never need to have their batteries changed due to the solar panel (where is it on the watch - I know it's on the face, but I can't spot it - good engineering!!!). I like not having to mess with a watch - set it and forget it. I would have given it five stars if the manual were just easier for me to read. My vote for the Ultimate Watch by: fraxa on: 31-Dec 2004 I've had this watch (the titanium model) for almost a year, and think it may be the finest watch available at any price. While I own many fine watches, none can compare to the fit and finish of this one; I doubt any other watch company has the technical capability to produce the flawless polished and satin finishes in titanium that Citizen manages to mass-produce. No Swiss watch has this kind of titanium finish at any price (TAG looks very primitive in comparison.) Titanium is a wonderful material for a watch---it's light and warm to the touch, which makes it very comfortable; it's also hypoallergenic, and no discoloration can be seen on the skin after profuse sweating (as I've seen with some stainless bands.) The movement is tremendously accurate---I set it to my atomic clock when I got it, and it is still in sync nearly a year later. The power reserve is virtually inexhaustible, even when using the alarm frequently and fooling with the chronograph functions constantly. I have 3 Eco-Drive watches, and I've never had any of them run out of juice, even when I left the oldest/cheapest one in a drawer for several months. This is especially important with a perpetual calendar watch: what's the point if it stops and you have to reset everything? This has become especially obvious to me since I've hade all kinds of trouble keeping 2 automatic "Master Calendar" watches running. If you love watches, you probably have a few of them; some of them are a hassle to keep going (winders, batteries, etc.) This one looks fabulous, it feels great, and it is bullet-proof and idiot-proof, too.
