CITIZEN Men's Eco-Drive Sport Luxury Armor Watch in Super Titanium, Black Dial (Model: AW1660-51H)

Not my first or last Citizen EcoDrive. Put it on, go outside at least once a week and you have a watch that ticks for a decade. $10 battery replacement and you have another 10-15 years. Brushed Ti case and integrated bracelet looks great. Easy to set time and date, good contrast and legibility indoors or out. Lume isn't crazy bright but definitely adequate. Titanium keeps it light on the wrist so you don't even know it's there. Has not set off metal detectors which saves me some time going in and out of some of the places I frequent. Scratch resistance seems ok so far, I have worn it during tinkering several times and only have one small scratch on the clasp. Looks professional enough for everyday wear to the office or with casual wear. Makes a great first watch or an addition to a growing collection that never seems to end.

I have been abusing this watch. It is working just fine. This is not a cheap, but decent and durable item within budget. I’m a janitor.

Just received the watch and I like it a lot. I am happy that other reviews gave me a heads up about the split collar used in the band. I had no issues sizing the bracelet to fit my wrist. I bought a $15 watch repair kit from Amazon a while back and it has paid for itself many times over. The repair kit has a pin pusher tool that works nicely. I pushed the pin out enough to grab it with pliers and puled it out. This kept the split collar from being damaged. Get everything setup and reinstall the pin back the way it came out, pin supported straight by the outer link hole and most of the inner link hole, then just tap it through the split collar and into the out link. I was a little apprehensive about the whole process but it was easy. I like the light weight titanium material used and the solar eco drive. It’s a sharp looking watch. I’m happy with my purchase.

No one ever shows watches on a bigger wrist. My wrist is in the neighborhood of 8-8.25 inches. It's snug but it doesn't wear super uncomfortable. I could probably go out to dinner with it but I wouldn't wear it all day. I knew this going in and I have already ordered a couple links from citizen. I uploaded 3 pictures. The band, the watch in low light and the watch in brighter light. I love the sleek modern armored look of the watch. Unfortunately, in low light all that style completely vanishes into a shiny blob with a flat face. However, in the brighter light the styling shines as it is contrasted against the flat middle part with sparks of gleaming titanium jumping off of it. The band I liked it in the pictures but, when I see it in person, I get the image of those old school block style bands that were still elastic somehow and it throws the whole modern theme out the door for me. So for me with a bigger wrist, I'd say that you're paying for the 'Super' coating over the titanium, the sapphire crystal, the eco-drive and, this being my 3rd Citizen watch, I think the time keeping is really good as they have always stayed fairly accurate over large distances of time in my use cases. And then, finally, the design would be basically at the bottom. It was a cool idea but I wish they'd have thought it through a bit more. Overall though, I won't be returning it, so take that as you may also.

Beautiful watch, Eco Drive convenience can't be beat. I have Eco Drive watches that are 20 years old that still work perfectly. I wasn't concerned about resizing the watch band as I have done it many times in the past with a consumer grade link removal tool that I have. Wow was I in for a surprise! As the photo shows, there is a miniscule locking tube that resides within the center link. It is smaller than a grain of rice, no kidding. I used a locking tweezers to reinsert the tube but could not manage to get the tube back into the link, and finally lost it on my third attempt. Common sense took over and I called a respected jeweler in our area who removed two links on each side of the watch in 10 minutes. I was out the door in 15 minutes. Keep in mind that this watch is titanium, and if you or anyone else tries to use a larger stainless-steel pin to secure the links, the prospect of galvanic corrosion is ever present.

Absolutely stunning watch. Can't stop looking at it on my wrist. Super light and simple design. Such an elegant timepiece.

I love the simple design and that it's not blingy. The Eco-Drive was another selling point. I've had 2 other watches that are solar rechargeable and the battery lasted about a decade in them. I was able to adjust the band myself with a paper click, tweezers and hammer. There are YouTube videos that show you how. It's actually very easy to do. And it fits me just right taking 3 bands off. The hour and minute hands do glow in the dark, but not for very long. There is no built-in light. The date is a little too small, but I'm ok with that. There isn't a ticking noise which would drive my crazy at night when the watch is on my nightstand. I looked at many watches with a metal band and simple design and this one is the best, IMO.

Right out of the box, very poor presentation. I’ve bought cheaper watches that take more pride in their packaging. It’s tiny and doesn’t look nearly as good in person. The links are such that if you move your wrist a certain way your arm hairs get caught and pinched between the links. Painful. The super titanium sounds great but what they don’t tell you is if touched in the slightest, it looks like it has a blemish and I’d be constantly wiping the watch because I can’t stand imperfections on my “nice” watch. The crown is literally so tiny, I could barely grab it to set the time. This watch should be $50 not the outrageous price it’s listed at.

This watch has the balance of elegant simplicity, easy readability, light weight (due to the use of titanium which is a third the weight of steel), and high quality of finishing. It charges itself as long as it’s in any kind of light, so will never need a battery change. The crystal is sapphire, so it is very resistant to any kind scratching that would scratch up an acrylic or glass lens. The only cons are that the date window is small and may be difficult to read, and the watch band pins are solid steel with a compression sleeve, so resizing the band does require a pin removal tool, a strong magnifying glass, and great care to find and carefully remove the compression sleeve at the pivot point to the next link. Very fine watch tweezers are helpful. A compression sleeve in the link pivot is crucial to ensure the when the pin is reinserted, it stays put instead of sliding out. Overall, this is a great looking watch and I’m happy.

Muy buena compra. Altamente recomendable.

Excelente produto.

As a lover of all things Titanium, I had been looking at this watch for quite a while. The Eco drives are VERY accurate time pieces, and being solar powered is nice not having to deal with batteries. Titanium is less heat conductive than Stainless steel, so it's slower to transfer heat away (or to) your wrist, meaning the watch is more comfortable to wear in colder or hotter weather than my stainless watches. Being Titanium it's also nice and light, for a decent sized watch it's barely noticeable to wear. Light shining on the watch face is a treat, and my favorite part; the different elements of the face reflect at different angles so it's always highlighting the different aspects of the watch face. Although the watch may appear 'subtle' it's one of the nicest watches in the details. The strap flats are a fine brushed finish with the angled sides being polished. It's always a pleasure to wear!

Magnífico, parece uma coisa de outro mundo, um objeto alienígena, só vendo pra saber. Para remover os elos precisa de uma ponta fina, e dá para fazer sozinho. Usei o kit ifix it.
