This is my seventh Citizen Eco-Drive and I have absolutely nothing negative to say about it. I love the face, weight, size & band. For me, its a casual watch that I wear with jeans & t-shirt. I don't really see it as a dress watch. Ive had it now for several months and it hasn't lost a minute. Im not sure about the references about losing time. Perhaps they're not keeping it in the light. I have two glass topped watch cases, so all of my Eco-Drives stay perfectly charged. I would recommend this watch to anyone. Ive had Citizens for twenty years and they're incredible time pieces!
