The Citizen Watch Brand

The company was established in 1924. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be "Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere" and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.

During the last seventy-five years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as the global brand. The past twenty-five year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.

Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of "world’s firsts" is unmatched.

More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drives watches that are light powered. With models ranging from dress models to sports models to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. Fueled by light, it never needs a battery.

Customer Reviews

Canvas band problem
I bought a Titanium model that uses the same band. The canvas is resistant, but the tissue sewn in the back of the canvas (leather?) cracked after 1 year due to sweat. It also smells not good when wet. The other awful thing was the knob. It got loose and its axel warped just being in my wrist.

I love this watch!
I just can't say enough good things about this watch. I love it, it satisfies the geek in me, while not looking out of place when camping.
There are only two points that detract from this watch, but I love it so much it doesn't drag the overall rating down.

1. The band isn't everything it could be, and in fact is a bit small around my wrist. However I don't buy a watch for it's band, they are easily and cheaply replaced.

2. Just more of a warning. In the pictures, it looks like the case extends above the crystal (dial face) which I have had on watches before. That is not so with this watch, the crystal actually extends beyond the case ever so slightly. Not enough to detract from my opinion of the watch, but I wanted to warn other buyers in case this is critical in your circumstances.

Citizen Eco-Drive
This is truly a fantastic watch. I love it that it's solar powered and has such a long warranty. It feels and looks very solid. The numbers are clear and just the right size. The watch glows through the night. The band is less wonderful. However, I replaced the band with a black nylon band (about $5.00) which looks terrific.

A great watch at a great price.
