Basically the title says it all. I picked up one of these brand new off eBay for $120 and I think this is a fantastic tool watch. I ended up with one for work as I'm in healthcare and didn't want to gunk up my nicer GADA watch. It's a great size for my slender wrist, easy to read and so far keeps great time! Yeah it's an eco drive, not automatic but I mean for a watch I just can slip on and head to work I can't think of a better model in ths price range. Definitely a firm recommendation from me for whatever that's worth.

Like some others I wasn't keen on the original strap but I picked up a few from CNS and I'm loving the single pass strap on it!

I love solar quartz watches (I own three!) and am the rare watch enthusiast who prefers them to autos. But I don't own this one because it's a mineral crystal. Why Citizen doesn't offer more sapphire versions of their eco-drive watches is beyond me, I'd happily pay a small premium for that.

I'm a quartz enthusiast too and in general, Citizen watches are just too big for my chicken wrists.

I have small wrists and this watch fits great.
