Is this watch worth it over a battery quartz watch?

Yes, if you dislike battery changes. Eco-Drive runs on light and typically lasts many years without service, which offsets the higher upfront cost.

How does the 37mm case compare to other Citizen field watches?

It is on the small side. Many Citizen field and sport models run 40mm to 44mm, so this one suits smaller wrists or a vintage look.

Yes. The 100m rating covers swimming and showering, but not diving or high-pressure water sports.

Does it need to be charged before first use?

It ships with some charge but may need a few hours in direct light to reach full power. A drained cell recovers after a day or two of sunlight.

The watch on its green nylon strap, a Citizen box and paperwork. No spare strap or charging accessories are included.

Eco-Drive field watches tend to drop during holiday sales and end-of-season clearances. Check the price history before buying.

Our take on the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Sport Canvas Strap Watch

A solar-powered field watch from Citizen's Eco-Drive line, with a 37mm case, black numbered dial, mineral crystal and a green nylon strap. It never needs a battery change: any light charges the movement, and it is rated to 100m for swimming and showering. The 37mm case is small for a men's watch, so it wears more like a vintage field watch than a modern sport model.
