CitizenWomen's Eco-Drive Corso Classic Watch in Stainless Steel, Blue Dial (Model: EW2290-54L)

This is a beautiful watch, classic styling with the very tangible benefit of never having to replace the battery. I love how it looks and how it performs. I store it face-up in a glass-topped jewelry box and it has stayed exactly on the correct time.

The watch is beautiful. It is thin, feminine, and yet still quite easy to read the time. I will definitely buy it again.

I bought this watch a couple of years ago and then, sadly, I recently lost it. After looking everywhere for it, I decided to replace it with another Citizen Eco-Drive watch. I initially bought a different style with the same technology, but it didn't look as nice as the other one. (I really didn't want to buy the same watch, because I was sure that as soon as I bought the replacement, I would find the first one and would have two identical watches. However, I have not yet found it.) I returned it and bought the same one I had before. I have gone back to wearing it daily. The blue face is beautiful, the metal has a lovely tone, and it keeps perfect time. I have never loved a watch more. I was worried when I initially bought it that it would need to be under a light all the time in order to keep the battery properly charged. I have no idea how it manages, but I have never made any effort to put it under light. And I live in Seattle, often wear long sleeves, and keep it in a dark closet when I'm not using it. The Citizen web site states that it can hold a charge for months at a time. While the watch is more expensive than many others of this variety, it is completely worth it to not have to change a battery, ever. And it looks nicer than other similar watches I have had in the past (Guess, Fossil). Do know that you'll likely need to take it to a jewelry/watch repair to have links removed so it will fit your wrist. I watched a number of YouTube videos on how to remove links and had all of the right tools, but could not do so confidently. I think I paid $15 to get the links taken out. A small price for the peace of mind that I would not destroy my beautiful, new watch.Edit: Of course, I found the original watch a few months later - in a pocket of something I rarely wear. I gave the other one to my best friend and she now wears it every day and loves it as well.

I purchased this as a gift. It is an attractive watch and a good value. The primary motivation was the perpetual solar-powered energy supply.I failed to notice the watch has a mineral crystal, as opposed to a sapphire crystal. Normally, I prefer the later for much greater resistance to scratches. The product listing never claimed sapphire -- I just failed to deep-dive the specifications.

Great quality, comfortable, looks good. Keeps time perfectly without a battery. There are many nice styles to choose from. This is my third EcoDrive watch and I have really enjoyed the first two I bought. Reliable and a good value for the money.

Citizen captured the perfect size for a women's watch combined with a blue face that makes it pop perfectly! My wife loves it!

My first Citizen Eco watch lasted 10 years, then I bought one in February which lasted about 5 weeks, it just died. And of course right after the return period! This one is really pretty! I have had it for 2 month now and it still looks good and runs good, so hopefully this will last me another 9 years. :)I love not having to worry about a battery! I also always get a rash/itch where the batteries sit in watches, so there must be something I am allergic to. Since this one doesn't have a batterie - NO rash/itch. It's been holding up well with me swimming in the pool, but I do try to remember to take it off when I can. I also have extremely small wrists and this watch looks really elegant on it. I always have a hard time finding a watch that is small enough to fit my wrist and not look like a boulder on it. :)

Citizen Eco-Drive watches are great in that they don't need battery replacements--this is the second one I've bought for this very reason. This watch is a great everyday watch in that it's sturdy and comfortable to wear. The hands are easy to read but the date is not as it's quite small. A magnified date area would be a great boost--guess you've got to be Rolex to do that, though. I do recommend this watch to those of us who still depend on an actual timepiece to keep us on schedule.
