Does it really never need a battery?

Yes. Eco-Drive charges a rechargeable cell from light, so there is no disposable battery to replace. If it stops, leave it in daylight to recharge.

Is the crystal sapphire?

No. It uses mineral crystal, which is more prone to scratches than sapphire. Keep it away from rough surfaces.

Does it have a date window?

No. The AW0100-51A is a plain three-hand watch with no date.

How water resistant is it?

It is rated for everyday splashes, not swimming or diving. Take it off before showering or swimming.

Can I size the bracelet myself?

The bracelet uses pins, so it can be sized at home with a pin tool, but a jeweler is safer if you are unsure.

How does it compare with a Seiko solar watch?

Both are solar-powered steel watches. This Citizen is a simpler three-hand design with mineral crystal and no date; many Seiko solar models add a date or sapphire at higher tiers.

About the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Classic Stainless Steel Watch Aw0100-51a

The Citizen Eco-Drive Classic AW0100-51A is a men's three-hand dress watch in stainless steel with a silver-tone bracelet and case. Its selling point is Eco-Drive: a solar cell under the dial charges a rechargeable cell, so it never needs a battery change. The design is plain and minimal, which suits office and everyday wear. It is an entry-level Eco-Drive, so expect a simple dial and a basic clasp rather than sapphire crystal or radio control.
