Citizen Watches CB0168-08E Eco-Drive Brown One Size

This is a very good watch. I have a 30 minute review on my youtube channel Metal Effort. All the features make it idiot proof. Just set the time zone and let the watch take over. You never have to change the date, you never need to get batteries replaced, and it's great for travel with the easy time zone changing. It is not too big or small, and it looks great. It has a solid well built quality to it.

I love its simplicity being atomic and self adjusting. No need for all them small , minute little dials imbedded in main dial. It’s others choice of preference. This?; this is classby itself. And Citizen watches, aside from their good reputation fits the bill for the onesthat either can’t afford or just don’t want to spend a fortune on a watch. Very, very nice watch. Simple & elegant.

This has high-end Citizen features such as atomic timekeeping, and prepetual calendar but without the slide rule for calculating whether you will have to ditch your plane in the ocean, the thick case, or the complicated dial face. As such makes a nice everyday or dress watch you can set once and forget for a long long time. Great!

The Watch is like my wife. Looks good but don't work. This is not the 1st complaint about this watch being dead. Why would you sell defective items to people who work hard for their money? I will steer clear of this seller.

Love the time piece. Leather Strap too small and it’s specialized for this model so no replacement

I like solar atomic watches. There is little hassle as long as the watch gets enough light to maintain a high level of charge. That and keeping it within a few feet of a window at night allows it to set itself every night.Casio has made some very durable watches in that category. Durable and dependable but not always stylish, at least not in the price range I usually buy in.That leads me to the circumstances of my purchasing this Citizen watch. It was used and cheap. Not in mint condition, but with very little wear. This was the first Citizen solar and atomic watch that I found at an affordable price. I liked the style and cosmetics of the watch as well as the ease of use.This particular model has a folding clasp type leather band. Looks stylish and it is comfortable.The case is stainless steel. The crystal is sapphire and that's a plus.Being that I bought this watch used, it had no owner's manual. A simple Google search took me to the owner's manual PDF online. That manual was easy to follow and from that I was able to set the watch for what they call "Summer Time", which is DST. I was able to set the City for the atomic timekeeping signal.Manually seeking the signal is easy also. Everything about the watch for setting the time is easy.If the battery gets below the reserve level the watch will need to be exposed to light for quite a few hours. I set the watch in a window for the better part of two days. The battery does not stayed charged as long as the Casios do.I have found that this watch sets itself consistently over night. Checking with the Casios and the atomic alarm clock that I have verify that it is receiving the signal and updating the time.This isn't a "knock-around" watch. It's more expensive and the finish on it isn't what I would call durable. It looks like it could scratch easily.*Update*I have adjusted my rating after discovering some recent issues.After turning Daylight Savings Time off I gained 5 minutes. That's weird. I should be looking at a difference of an hour not minutes.The watch has not updated itself over night automatically and does not manually update atomic time. I have recharged it fully in a window and found it still will not update the time. My Casios consistently charge better and update over night as well. I have an atomic alarm on the other side of the room further from the window and it updates nightly with no problem.What I take from this in comparing with the Casio watches I have had and currently own is this- Casio is much better at solar charging. (The only exception being a new watch I returned with a defective battery that would not fully charge.) This Citizen watch does not charge by solar as well in the Fall.The other noticeable edge that Casio has is there consistent atomic time updating overnight.To sum it up, Citizen has a decided edge on cosmetics. They make some elegant watches.Casio, however beats them in functionality. At least in my current experience.Casio does have some fancy or elegant watches in a much higher price range but that's more than I can justify paying.

The watch is real nice. But go to the web page to set it. you be happy you did.

This is a very nice watch - stylish, well made on a good quality leather strap. I have a Citizen Satellite Wave watch - the most accurate they (or anyone else) make - and this seems to be almost as accurate. So why only four stars? Well, firstly it arrived not working and with a completely flat battery. I nearly sent it back thinking it was broken. Charging it for a few hours in the sun resolved that problem and the time set automatically which was impressive. But this glitch rather tainted my first experience. Secondly, whilst the strap is good quality, it will at some point wear out and might be very difficult to replace as it appears bespoke to the watch. A problem for the future. Generally though, a very nice, classy watch. ☺
