Our take on the Citizen Drive BU4020-01L

The Citizen Drive BU4020-01L is a men's solar-powered analog watch with a blue dial, silver-tone stainless steel case and a brown leather strap. It runs on Citizen's Eco-Drive light-charging movement, so it never needs a battery change, and adds a date window plus 100 m water resistance. The look is dressy-casual: an index dial with no numerals, mineral glass and a 22 mm strap. Against battery quartz dress watches at the same level it wins on upkeep and water resistance; against sapphire-crystal rivals it gives up scratch resistance.

Questions and answers

Does this watch need a battery?
No. It uses Citizen's Eco-Drive solar movement, which charges from light and runs without a battery replacement.
Can I swim with it?
Yes, it is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and showers. The leather strap will wear faster with repeated water exposure, so a different strap is better for regular swimming.
What size is the strap?
The strap is 22 mm wide at the lugs, so standard 22 mm replacement straps fit.
Is the glass sapphire?
No, it is mineral glass. It resists everyday knocks but scratches more easily than sapphire crystal.
Does it have a date?
Yes, there is a date window on the dial.
How does it compare with a battery quartz dress watch?
It costs more upkeep-free: no battery changes, and 100 m water resistance is higher than most budget quartz dress watches offer. It gives up sapphire glass to those rivals.
Where is the Citizen Drive BU4020-01L cheapest?
