Is the Citizen Calendrier Moonphase a good watch for the price?

Yes, if you want a moonphase and calendar in steel without paying luxury prices. The Eco-Drive movement and 100 m rating add everyday value.

Does it need a battery?

No. Eco-Drive charges from any light source, so it runs without battery changes as long as it gets regular light.

Yes. It is rated WR100 (10 bar), which covers swimming, showering and snorkeling, but not diving.

How big and heavy is it?

The case is 13 mm thick and the watch weighs 170.1 g on the steel bracelet. That is heavy for a dress watch.

You get the watch on its stainless steel bracelet, a presentation box and Citizen's documentation. A manual and warranty card are included.

How does it compare with a sapphire-crystal moonphase?

A sapphire-crystal rival resists scratches better, but this watch adds light-powered Eco-Drive and a 100 m rating that many dress moonphases lack. You trade scratch resistance for never changing a battery.

About the Citizen Calendrier Moonphase Watch BU0054-52L

The Citizen Calendrier Moonphase BU0054-52L is a men's dress watch with a moonphase display, a multi-function calendar and a deep blue dial in a stainless steel case on a steel bracelet. It runs on Citizen's Eco-Drive movement, charged by any light source, so it never needs a battery change. It is rated to 100 m for swimming and snorkeling, and the spherical mineral crystal resists impacts and shattering. It competes with other steel moonphase dress watches on its light-powered movement and water resistance, though its mineral crystal and 13 mm case are the usual trade-offs against sapphire-crystal rivals.
