Does this watch need a battery?

No. The Eco-Drive movement charges from light, so there is no battery to replace. A full charge gives roughly seven months of power reserve in the dark.

Yes. It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and showering. It is not a dive watch, so avoid deep diving.

How does it compare with a mechanical chronograph?

It is more accurate and needs no winding, and it avoids service costs. A mechanical rival offers a sweeping seconds hand and a different feel but needs maintenance.

What is the crystal made of?

It uses scratch-resistant mineral crystal, not sapphire. It resists light marks but can scratch with hard knocks.

The case is 12 mm thick and the watch weighs 142 g on the steel bracelet. That is on the thicker side for a chronograph.

What comes in the box?

The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with Citizen's documentation and warranty card. Check the listing for the exact included items.

About the Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph Black Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch CA0775-87E

The Citizen CA0775-87E is a stainless steel men's chronograph powered by Citizen's Eco-Drive solar movement, so it never needs a battery change. It has a black dial, a 12 mm thick case, 100 m water resistance and a fold-over clasp with push buttons. It suits buyers who want a sporty everyday watch with chronograph functions and low maintenance. Against mechanical chronographs it is more accurate and needs no winding, but its mineral crystal is less scratch resistant than the sapphire used on pricier rivals.
