Our take on the Citizen Eco-Drive Silver-tone Dial Stainless Steel Men's Watch AW0100-86A

The Citizen AW0100-86A is a slim, all-steel men's watch with a silver-tone dial and hands and a 40 mm case just 10 mm thick. Its Eco-Drive movement charges from any light, so it never needs a battery change, and it carries 30 m water resistance and a scratch-resistant mineral crystal. It suits someone who wants a low-maintenance everyday watch that reads cleanly with a suit or a T-shirt. Against solar rivals from Seiko and Casio, it trades their sapphire crystals and higher water ratings for a thinner case and a simpler, dressier look.
