I might (or might not) have a watch addiction. I own several Citizen Eco-Drive and Seiko Solar watches and absolutely LOVE that I don't have to replace the batteries.
Pros:
* solar-powered
* easy-to-read
* keeps accurate time
* nice case size (27mm) is comfortable to wear
* can be worn with other watch straps (I love quick-release leather watch straps so I can coordinate the strap with my outfit and this one has a fairly easy-to-find watch strap lug width (12mm))
* not blingy (many of Citizen's Eco-Drive watches are too blingy for me)
Cons: haven't found one yet!

Excellent in function and form.
Although I am not a tiny person, I have a thin wrist and most watches are too loose or have too large a face for me.This watch suits me well. It has a small face, yet is still easy to read with its four numerals and eight number markers. You can see that these are raised and not just printed. Even up close, this is a simple yet elegant watch.The band is long, with eight holes for precise fitting. For me, there is too much overlap--the tip end is visible from the front of my wrist, as you can see in my photo.I suppose I could trim it back, but I don't want to ruin the finished look of the band. (The band is neither removable nor replaceable.)Apart from that, the band is just beautiful. It is well-made in fine grain leather, creamy white in color.The face is gorgeous as well, as is the buckle.The closer you look, the more you can see that this watch is a fine piece of workmanship.I have had no problems with the fact that the watch is solar-powered. You do not have to make an effort to expose the watch to sunlight, what light it receives in everyday use powers it well. Mine has been keeping perfect time.I am very well-pleased that I will never have to wind this watch or replace a battery.Citizen is a quality brand in watches, and this watch lives up to its name.
