Is $377.06 a good price for the Citizen BJ8050-08E?

Yes. That Walmart price as of November 6, 2026 is near the low end of its recent range and below the $450–$550 it often sells for.

How does the BJ8050-08E compare with the Seiko SKX or Prospex divers?

It is larger and heavier than most Seiko divers, but it adds solar charging and a 300m rating instead of a battery-powered movement.

Does the Eco-Drive need a battery change?

No. The solar cell charges from any light source, and Citizen rates the capacitor to run for months in the dark.

Will the 48mm case fit my wrist?

It fits wrists around 7 inches and up. Below that, the 18mm thickness and weight make it feel oversized for many people.

Is the crystal sapphire?

No. It uses scratch-resistant mineral crystal, which is durable but scratches more easily than sapphire.

What comes in the box?

The watch on its black rubber strap, plus Citizen's manual and warranty card; no extra strap is included.
