Outstanding Looks Great Timepiece

I considered this purchase from the viewpoint of an already satisfied Eco-Drive owner. My original Citizen features a titanium case and strap and is great for business attire. But I wanted a less formal watch for casual wear. This watch caught my eye and it was love at first sight. The watch arrived after about five days as advertised. Upon opening the box I was taken aback by the size. This is a large-face watch and I was expecting something about the size of my titanium case. I was considering returning it then decided to give it a try and sell it on eBay if I didn't like it. As it turns out I got used to it after a couple of days. The canvas strap became a little more pliable which helped the watch stay in place better on my wrist and the discomfort of the band disappeared. Now I can focus on enjoying the big face and oversized luminous digits which glow extraordinarily bright when exposed to a light source at night. Like my original Eco-Drive this watch keeps excellent time. So far I have not detected a single second's variance between checks and settings. If you order this watch keep in mind that the face is larger than most and that you'll have to be patient while the canvas strap gets pliable.More detail ...

This watch has a deep black dial and a polished case.A great start.The numbers are largesilver and subdued which I prefer over in-your-face white"Expedition" types.The minute and hour hands are elegantly long and tapered and really stand out against the black dialthe photo doing it little justice.The day and date window is a decent size.As I have a small wrist {6.5} the classic 36mm case size which was the standard for men for decades is perfect.On their web-site Timex calls it an "Elevated Classic". I agree.More detail ...

Love it

As a man with thin wrists I have a hard time finding watches that fit snugly. The leather strap on the Citizen Eco-Drive fits me like a dream tight enough to remain in place but not enough to cut of circulation.More detail ...

Versatile

I've had my watch for about a month and I love it so far. It did great in deep waters a few weeks ago while I was free diving in the Bahamas. The only downfall is you're not suppose to push any buttons under the water. The color of the watch is a pastel purple/blue. It has a lot of features in which I haven't tried yet but overall it's a great watch for a great price! :-) Good luckMore detail ...

I love this watch!

This watch is the best watch. I use it all the time. It is great because since it has an elastic band it doesnt make my wrist itch. Also it has a good Indiglo light so I can see the time in the dark. It has an easy to read LCD display too. I recommend this watch to anybody.More detail ...

Not worth it

Had this strap for a year and without all that much rough wear it broke in two places. First the small piece/loop that is intended to hold the "extra" strap to the band tore off. I kept wearing it using a doubled-over loop of duct tape to keep the strap tame but before long the entire strap tore at one of the holes in the band. Not to mention it didn't stay orange for very long since the orange just collects dirt and turns much of it black/brown after a few months. Unless you're intending to only wear your Core around the house and never actually use it for what it's intended for get a more durable strap. I gave it two stars instead of one because it was actually quite comfortable.More detail ...

Quality watch

I bought this watch as a gift for my wife. Nice fit and finish and my wife loves it. The only complaint is that there is too much effort to set the date especially with the small handle. If that is a concern I would suggest finding another watch with no date.More detail ...

Casio Waveceptor Wrist Strap

Wrist strap was shipped very quickly. The strap itself (made by Casio) is a little dissapointing the original did not last very long before it broke.More detail ...

Great band!

This is a great band and a great price. The only disappointment is that it DOES NOT come with the pins that you need to attach them. You will have to remove them from an old band. So...if you don't have the pins from an old band don't buy this. If you do it's totally worth the price.More detail ...

You can't swim with this watch

This watch is great looking but unfortunately you can't swim with it. It claims it's water resistant to 300 feet but after one lap in the pool water had collected under the face of the watch. Amazon was terrific about returning it though.More detail ...
