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

A 42mm round analog watch from Citizen's Eco-Drive line, which runs on light rather than a battery swap. The solar cell under the dial charges from any light source, so it keeps going as long as it sees daylight or lamplight. The leather strap and clean dial make it a versatile everyday piece, and the 42mm case suits most wrists. Against battery quartz rivals it costs more upfront but skips years of battery changes; against mechanical watches it is far less fussy. Owners rate it highly, with 4.8 out of 5 from 36 ratings.

Questions and answers

How does Eco-Drive work?
A solar cell under the dial turns light into power and stores it in a rechargeable cell. Any light source, including indoor lighting, keeps it charged.
Do I ever need to change a battery?
No. The rechargeable cell is designed to last many years, so there is no routine battery swap like a standard quartz watch.
Is 42mm too big for a smaller wrist?
42mm is a mid-size case that suits most wrists. Those with very slim wrists may find it on the larger side.
Can I swim with it?
It is water resistant, but the rating is not stated here. Treat it as safe for splashes and rain, not for swimming or diving unless the caseback says otherwise.
Does it have a date window?
That is not confirmed for this model. Check the dial photos or the caseback reference before buying if a date matters to you.
How does it compare with a mechanical watch?
It is more accurate and needs no winding, but it depends on light. A mechanical watch runs without light but needs regular wear or winding.

At eBay, for $149.00, 48% off, as of our latest check.
