What is a good price for it?

The best new price is $201.47 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, with 5 stores listing it new. Compare against that figure before buying.

Does it track steps or heart rate?

Our take on the Citizen Eco-Drive Chronograph Men's Watch

A men's sport chronograph with a stainless steel case, leather strap and pin buckle. Its Eco-Drive movement runs on light, so it never needs a battery change, and Citizen rates the power reserve at about 270 days in the dark. It is water resistant to 100 m (10 bar), enough for swimming, and the crystal is standard glass rather than sapphire. The best new price is $201.47 at Walmart as of November 5, 2026, with 5 stores listing it new.
