This is the watch I expected, and it hasn't disappointed me. I agree with many of the reviewers who woof about the band being stiff, but that is something I can live with. I also agree with those who advise to read the instructions before setting the watch. I gave it a healthy dose of sunshine before setting it the following morning, and it's kept very good time since. I suspect this watch will need no care for years to come, and I really like that idea. In short, there is nothing I don't like about it: it is good looking, easy to read, and very functional. Citizen simply makes a fine watch, and I was happy to see the price of the eco-drive watch come into what I felt was an affordable range. Why anyone would want to buy an automatic or quartz watch when this technology is available is beyond me--I know I won't be investing in anything else than the eco-drive in the future.
