5.0 out of 5 stars Everything works - poor instructions

p. · 18 April 2014

I was put off by some of the negative reviews, so did not order for a long while. But my existing quartz, twelve years old, although it keeps excellent time, often runs out, always just when I am far away from any possibility of a replacement. I was so taken with the concept of no battery to change - ever - that I recently went ahead and spoiled myself for my birthday.This is a fine watch - elegant appearance, apparently well made, keeps perfect time and is excellent value for money. The most serious negative reviews appear to be due to either not reading, or not understanding, the instructions, which are not very good. Surely Citizen could get a watchmaker, an artist and an English graduate to sit down for an hour together and prepare a clearly understandable, accurate description of how to set the watch. Or put a video on youtube (oh, I may be an old fart, but I'm with it !!)He who complained about the days being in "Spanish" apparently did not notice that as the crown wheel is rotated to set the days, as instructed, they appear in English, German and French, in fixed sequence. Therefore if you first set it in English, subsequent automatic changes are always in English. (I managed to get it wrong however - I set it on Mon, assuming Monday, but in fact it was Montag! Somewhat puzzled when days in German subsequently appeared, but soon figured out and reset correctly).He who complained of a fiddly crown wheel would also have been better served by clear instructions. Holding the watch between thumb and forefinger of both hands, face up, with the crown wheel on the right, the crown wheel can be easily pulled out to first or second "click", under full control, by slipping the side of the nail of the index finger just between the crown wheel and the case. I don't think using teeth on it is a good idea, neither for the watch nor for one's teeth!The strap is certainly not cheap. It is thick real leather, the parts very solidly put together, but it is rather stiff. Frankly, not to my taste - I prefer a smooth leather - but that is only personal preference and I shall soon be changing minefor a soft black suede strap.I'm well pleased with the watch. It looks fine, works perfectly, keeps time to the second over more than a week and I am looking forward to many years of batteryless, non-winding, accurate timekeeping. I have an idea it will see me out.P.S. Nearly a year later and everything is still working as it should. There are some better instructions on the internet - I would recommend you observe the instructions about when to set or re-set the time/date. I get compliments on how well it looks. The only negative experience is that the time/date is difficult to read in sunshine - the top of the aperture casts a deep shadow over the letters/digits which are deep set under the dial. I doubt I will ever buy another watch!

Great present for my boyfriend. He loves it. Good quality. Humble and refined.

4.0 out of 5 stars Accuracy

R. · 18 August 2023

I like the accuracy and the fact that battery won't run out. The leather strap is stiff and will take a bit of use before it eases. The face is good but more contrast is needed on the hands to make it more readable (black perhaps). This watch is easy to adjust for date and day despite some who think otherwise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent purchase

Very nice watch, very stylish. Works perfectly and keeps accurate time. Very helpful company. Recommended purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars ATTRACTIVE BUT FAULTY

A.R. · 13 December 2022

The watch looks very attractive. Charging it is straightforward. It also keeps excellent time. But the day of the week and the date do not work as they should. I tried resetting the day and the date several times after my purchase, without success. So I returned the watch to Bolo, if reluctantly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased

Received my watch earlier this afternoon. It is exactly as described and looks a high quality item. I was very pleased to read that, if I registered the guarantee on line, it would be extended from five years to six. The watch was simple to set up and is comfortable on the wrist. The strap fits well and looks good too. I am obviously unable to comment on the accuracy or reliability of the watch at this stage; but first impressions are very positive.13 November. Update. I have now owned the watch for almost six months. It keeps perfect time and looks as good as the day I received it. The strap too is still looking like new.Final update. I have now owned the watch for almost a year. It still keeps perfect time and looks as good as the day I bought it and that includes the strap. I wear it all day every day, despite the occasional guilty glance at my (more expensive) Swiss watches sitting in a drawer.Love it.Despite previous "Final" update; I couldn't resist saying that I have now owned the watch for five years. It looks as good as the day I received it and keeps perfect time.

Lovely looking watch. Citizen Eco is a fab brand and this was a really good price. Citizen guarantee and registration form is included.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would buy another, but don't need to.

Wirklich schöne Uhr, Batteriewechsel überflüssig: die Energie des Lichts ist die Basis der Technologie. Datum und Tag allerdings schwer ablesbar. Ein Stern Abzug wegen des sehr primitiven Armbands.

Satisfecho
