Keep time with military precision while adding a unique edge to your wardrobe with the Citizen Eco-Drive Men’s Chronograph Canvas Watch. Featuring the clean look and the rugged dependability of a stainless steel case and bezel, this timepiece relies on the unique Citizen Eco-Drive movement system, so you never need to replace its battery. Eco-Drive is an advanced, technical system that uses a thin solar panel under the dial to convert light energy from any source into electrical energy used to run your watch. Also playing a key role in this unique system is a special energy storage cell that greatly increases the efficiency and dependability of using light as a power source. As an added benefit, Eco-Drive power doesn’t utilize the harmful chemicals contained in traditional batteries, so it’s an excellent environmental choice as well. The watch features a black dial with easy-to-read Arabic numerals in white, a convenient date window at four o’clock, a slim second tracker (more…)

Not a real chronograph
Minuses:It measures only seconds,and minutes; not tenths of seconds.The design is very simple, the dial is not sophisticated, just a classic, military design.

Meh, not so good
I ordered the #AT0200-05E and the #BM8180-03E and I was disappointed with them both.
My first complaint was these two watches diminutive size and weight.

Replace the Band - Review the Watch.
One of the main complaints that people have with this watch has really nothing to do with the watch itself , it is the strap.

I upgraded to the eco-drive from a watch that recharged by wrist motion. So far I’m a lot happier with the eco-drive. It holds a charge a lot longer, so it’s not a problem to leave it unworn for a day or two. I didn’t like the green military style band on this one, but it was easy to swap for a leather 20mm band. The stock band was a tad small for my wrist. I would expect a lot of men would need to swap it. The numbers look big in the picture, and they’re big on the watch. I like the big numbers, others might not.
May 2008 Update:
I still like this watch as much as the day it arrived! It works perfectly, never runs out of battery and looks good. For those of you who haven’t paid for a decent watch, you might not realize you’re missing out on a good quality glass / crystal face. Mine still is scratch free. The watch looks pretty much brand new, even though I wear it every day.

This is my 2nd Eco-Drive Watch. Eco-Drive is by far my favorite watch brand. My other Eco-Drive is a moon-phase Calibre that I wear to work everyday. I wanted another watch that was less dressy, and was happy when I found this watch at a low price. However, this watch looks very nice, despite its price. Some reviewers don’t like the watchband. I agree that a leather band would make it look more expensive, but this is a military watch and the band is quite appropriate. Although the description calls this a canvas strap, the inside is coated so that it does not absorb sweat. Also, I have small wrists and Eco-Drives are the only watches that I can wear without modifying the strap. It’s VERY easy to set. It is more like a traditional watch; you only need to adjust the main crown. The other two buttons north and south of the crown control the chronograph. Seconds tick by on this watch on the small dial located just above the “6″ on the watch face. The large second hand that you normally associate with the sweep second hand is part of the chronograph. By the way, the chronograph is EXTREMELY easy to operate. One of my favorite features of this watch are the extremely large, easy-to-read numbers on the dial. Only downside is that the three small dials on the face are smaller and more difficult to read, but I think that is an unavoidable consequence of the design. Overall, this is a great watch!!

Great Deal!
This watch is a steal at this price. The strap isn’t great, although I have received complements on the color.

I think the watch looks better in person then on the internet. It’s large and easy to read. The only thing that takes one star off is the band. Yes, I knew it was ugly when I ordered it, but that’s not the problem. I have an average size wrist, and I wear the watch on the second to last hole, using the very last hole when I work out. Besides the band being too short, it’s a great watch, and well worth the price.

WELL worth the money
The quality of this time piece is obvious from the moment you get it in your hands. I purchased this watch to wear for a few weeks while my Omega was repaired not expecting much…

Great watch but the band lacks adjustability
I have had this watch for about two weeks now. I picked this particular watch because the band looked comfortable for everyday use and relatively rugged.

a pretty good watch
I’ve had this watch for a few months now. It’s attractive, rugged, and keeps good time. Drawbacks are that the band is crazy-short. Nowhere near long enough for a grown man.

A bit overpriced
Watch looks nice. But it does not feel the same.
The strap is a little small for chubby guys like me. I got to use it on the second hole and I not any big at all.

Top notch value
You can’t beat the quality for the price on this one. I love the watch. It’s very comfortable, light weight, and the perfect average all around size.
