- Is this an Eco-Drive watch?
- No. It is a standard battery-powered analog watch. Citizen's Eco-Drive line uses a solar cell under the dial and never needs a battery change.
- Can I swim with it?
- Treat it as splash-resistant at best unless the caseback states a water-resistance rating. Take it off for swimming, showers and washing dishes.
- Will the glass scratch?
- Mineral glass is harder than acrylic but softer than sapphire. It handles daily knocks but can pick up fine scratches over years of wear.
- How does it compare with a Seiko 5?
- A Seiko 5 typically offers automatic movement and a day-date display. This Citizen is a simpler quartz watch, so it keeps better time with less upkeep until the battery runs out.
- Can the bracelet be resized?
- Yes. A jeweler or watch shop can remove links from a standard stainless bracelet. Keep the removed links in case you need them later.
- What should I check when it arrives?
- Confirm the caseback model number, that the crown sets the time and date cleanly, and that the second hand ticks once per second rather than jumping.
- Where is the Citizen Men's Watch Silver UNCG Stainless Steel cheapest?
- At Fanatics, for $399.99, as of our latest check.
