Amazon.com Product Description
More than just pretty face, the Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 stainless steel men's watch also has a perpetual calendar that automatically adjusts for odd and even months and leap years through 2100. It features a perfectly round silver-tone stainless steel watch case and bezel that's complemented by a supple black leather strap with crocodile-like texturing.
The silvery white dial background is accented by day-of-the-week and 24-hour subdials, as well as a mode subdial that displays the selected function (local time, calendar, alarm). It also offers luminous, black-outlined hands (with seconds hand), a date function at 4 o'clock, and Roman numeral dial markers. Other features includes a dual-time function for tracking a second time zone, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance to 330 feet (100 meters).
This watch is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. This watch's Eco-Drive provides a 180-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just 4 hours of exposure to light.

Citizen Men's BL8000-03A Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch Reviews
| 55 of 56 people found the following review helpful  Amazing functionality but with some ease of use issues, By This review is from: Citizen Men's BL8000-03A Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch (Watch) A very very precise perpetual solar powered timepiece capable of tracking the time in two zones (you toggle between locations using the crown), pretty thin, at a great street price. The hands have nice night time illumination. The leather strap and deployant buckle are pretty plush. Some of the functionality is hard to use and there is a cheap look to the metal bezel (which marks easily; the glass seems tough enough).This thing is really a time computer instead of a watch; when you change modes, the hands change function in such a way that to get back to the time you must be accessing a computer memory. Also, it has the cute (really) habit of napping when it has been in the dark for some long time. Then when you look at it, it senses light, wakes up and the second hand moves madly to catch up. The crown: It is way too easy to pull the crown out two stops into the setting mode, which could cost you the correct time, instead of one stop into the...

The features and functionality are well balanced. The solar panel rarely sees daylight from underneath my shirt sleeves, yet the battery has never depleted. The leather wristband is comfortable and shows very little wear. After years of use, my only complaint is that the metal is very easily scratched. Fortunately, the crystal/glass has remained flawless. I have had many people comment on the beauty of this watch. I will only buy citizen after owning this enjoyable timepiece.Update: November 14, 2007. The watch is holding up well as the 5-year warranty comes to an end. It took over 4 years of wearing the watch nearly every day for the first scratches on the glass to appear. The wristband shows minimal wear, and the clasp has not given me any troubles. Still very happy with my purchase! 25 of 26 people found the following review helpful What a great watch!!, By Compaeus (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase What a fantastic piece of craftmanship. I have had mine for a few months now. Could not be happier. It is powered by any light with a power reserve of more than a year. No more batteries ever. It has all the appeal of an analog watch, with a beatiful classic design without the annoying need to correct the date for odd/even months. It will even correct itself for leap years. Besides date/day of week, it has alarm (soft, not the best if you are a deep sleeper, but useful nonetheless), calendar (showing the month) and dual time zone.All that plus the Citizen tradition of quality backed by a 5 yr warranty. What else would you want? |
