Quite an impressive timepiece. With no battery to replace, all you have to do it wear this watch, expose it to a little light every now and then and this watch will dutifully reward you by maintaining absolutely precision time. More than just moderately water resistant, you can even swim with it if you are so inclined.  My limited edition example is 2082 of 2500 produced and that information is etched on the case back and documented on a plastic memento that closely mimics the look and feel of your average credit card. The watch does look better than the photograph indicates. The image does not quite capture the depth of its warm rich tones. I love the perfect fit, luxurious feel and exotic look of the genuine crocodile strap. The high gloss band compliments the look of the watch perfectly. The storage case all this comes packed in is as solid, well built and luxurious as the watch it houses.  Also included is a comprehensive instruction manual in small booklet form and an "Interactive Setting Instructions And Printable Manuals" CD for those who would rather use a computer to read and/or print out the instructions.

The watch is a true wonder to behold.  I found myself examining its highly detailed features with a jewelers loupe.  The craftsmanship and attention to the smallest detail is outstanding. Right out of the box, it took me all of one minute give or take to find the relevant information in the instruction manual and then pull out and rotate the crown a bit to set the timepiece for my geographical area.  Its hands immediately raced around the dial and settled upon my local time zone.  The second hand even stays in perfect sinc with the atomic clock app loaded into my iPad!  Never needing a battery and the hassle that can be to replace, Citizen backs up its claims of exceptional quality with a 5 year warranty. That generous amount of time to make good on quality control issues says a whole lot about Citizen's confidence when it designed and crafted this stunning piece of wrist art integrated into advanced technology.  Highly recommended and who knows, being a limited edition run this Eco-Drive chronograph just might (eventually) find itself a highly sought after collectible.  A worthy addition to my small watch collection, I expect to be proudly wearing this high quality example of worldclass and affordable luxury on my wrist for many years to come.
