About the Citizen Automatic Men's Watch

A 40mm stainless-steel automatic dress watch with a date window, mineral crystal and 50m water resistance. It runs on mechanical movement, so it never needs a battery, and the steel bracelet with fold-over clasp suits office and everyday wear. Against its rivals it offers a self-winding movement and a full steel case and bracelet, where many competitors at this level use plated cases or quartz movements.

    What people mention
    • MovementPraisedOwners like having a self-winding mechanical movement without paying luxury prices.

    • ValuePraisedBuyers see it as a lot of watch for the money given its steel case, bracelet and automatic movement.

    Questions and answers

    Is this watch worth it?
    It is a strong entry point into automatic watches. You get a steel case, steel bracelet and date display, though the crystal is mineral rather than sapphire.
    Can I swim with it?
    No. It is rated to 50m, which covers hand washing and rain but not swimming or showering.
    Does it need a battery?
    No. It is an automatic mechanical watch, wound by wrist movement, though you may need to set the time after it sits unused for a day or two.
    How does the 40mm case fit?
    40mm is a middle size that suits most men's wrists and slips under a shirt cuff. The 11.1mm thickness keeps it fairly slim.
    What comes in the box?
    Expect the watch on its steel bracelet and Citizen paperwork. A box and warranty card are standard, but confirm the listing's contents before ordering.
    How does it compare with a Seiko 5 automatic?
    Both are entry-level automatics with a day or date display. This Citizen uses a 40mm steel case and 50m rating; many Seiko 5 models add a day-date and higher water resistance, so pick on case size and crystal.
