Does it really never need a battery?

Yes. The E168 Eco-Drive movement charges from any light source, so there is no battery to replace.

It is ISO-compliant and rated to 200 m, which covers scuba diving. Have the seals checked periodically to keep that rating.

How does it compare with an automatic diver?

It runs on light instead of a winding rotor, so it keeps time without wear and needs no service for a battery. It uses a mineral crystal rather than sapphire.

The watch on its strap and Citizen documentation. The caseback stays sealed, so no battery tools are needed.

Is the 44 mm case too big?

It wears large. Those with wrists under about 6.5 inches often find it bulky, while larger wrists suit it well.

Does the bezel turn both ways?

No. It is a one-way rotating elapsed-time bezel, standard for dive watches.
