The Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Titanium Watch is a sporty, economical eco-drive model that is fueled by light, it never needs a battery. I bought this watch as a 50th Birthday Gift approx. 10 months ago. The rubber band is a great feature, it is light-weight and practical for day-to-day wear. I recently purchased a dress model Citizen's Men's Eco-Drive Watch with a stainless steel band, and the weight difference is huge. The stainless steel band is heavy, inhibiting day-to-day wear. I am very happy with my purchase of the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Titanium Watch, it is a well-designed, reliable timepiece.
