Does the Citizen Peyten need a battery?

No. Eco-Drive charges from natural or artificial light and stores the energy in a capacitor, so there is no battery to replace.

Is it safe to swim with?

Yes. It is rated to 100 m, which covers swimming and showering, though not diving.

The case is 33 mm across with a 16 mm band, so it reads as a small, classic dress watch suited to slim wrists.

No. The dial is clean with no date window and no luminous markers, so it is not the pick for reading in the dark.

The watch on its bracelet, a presentation box and Citizen's instruction manual and warranty paperwork.

It is thinner, lighter and needs no winding, but it lacks the sweeping seconds and craftsmanship appeal of a mechanical movement.
