Does the BN0211-50E need a battery change?

No. It uses Citizen Eco-Drive, which charges from light through the dial and stores power in a capacitor. Regular light exposure keeps it running.

Is it good for swimming?

It is water resistant and built as a tough field watch, so it handles rain, washing and swimming. Check the caseback rating before diving.

The Citizen gives you solar quartz accuracy and no servicing, while Seiko's mechanical field watches appeal to buyers who want an automatic movement.

The case is 42mm across, round, in stainless steel. It wears fairly large, so try one on if you have slim wrists.

Yes. It uses a sapphire crystal, which is highly resistant to scratches in everyday use.

You get the watch on its stock strap or bracelet, plus Citizen's documentation and warranty card. Confirm the exact strap with the listing.
