Does it really never need a battery?

Yes. Eco-Drive is a solar movement: a panel under the dial charges a capacitor from any light, so there is no battery to replace.

It is rated 5 ATM (50 m), which covers handwashing, rain and brief surface swimming. It is not a dive watch, so avoid diving and pressing buttons underwater.

How does it compare with a mechanical watch?

It is more accurate and needs no winding or servicing schedule, but it lacks the sweep and craft of a mechanical movement and has no display back.

What size is the case?

The case is 40 mm across and 12 mm thick, with a 20 mm lug width, which fits most men's wrists.

Is the glass sapphire?

No. It uses scratch-resistant mineral crystal, which is tougher than acrylic but softer than sapphire.

Our take on the Citizen Eco-Drive Solar Powered Steel Watch BM7460-88H

The Citizen BM7460-88H is a men's solar-powered analog watch in stainless steel, with a gray dial, Arabic and index markers, a date window and a 40 mm case. Its Eco-Drive movement charges from any light, so it never needs a battery change, and 50 m water resistance covers rain, handwashing and brief swimming. It is a simple, durable everyday watch for someone who wants a set-and-forget piece rather than a chronograph or a smartwatch. Against mechanical rivals at similar levels it wins on maintenance, but it uses mineral glass rather than sapphire and has no luminous hands or screw-down crown.
