- Does the Citizen Peyten really never need a battery?
- Yes. Eco-Drive is a solar movement: a panel under the dial charges a rechargeable cell from any light, indoor or outdoor. It does not use a replaceable battery, so there is no scheduled battery change.
- How does it compare with a standard quartz watch?
- A quartz watch runs on a battery that needs replacing every few years. The Peyten's solar cell recharges itself, so it avoids that cost and the risk of a dead watch. Otherwise it is a conventional analog watch with a date.
- Is 39 mm too small or too large?
- 39 mm is a mid-size case that suits most wrists, and the 9 mm thickness keeps it low-profile. It reads smaller than 42 mm sport watches but is not a small dress watch.
- Can I swim with it?
- It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and showering. It is not a dive watch, so avoid high-pressure water and pressing the crown underwater.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, with Citizen's documentation and warranty card. The bracelet is sized with links, so a jeweler may be needed to adjust it.
- Does the two-tone finish wear off?
- The gold tone is a plating over stainless steel, so it can fade or scratch with heavy wear, especially on the clasp and bracelet edges. The steel parts hold up better.
