 "GREAT WATCH!!!" | 2009-10-18 |

| This is my second Eco-Drive Citizen watch. This watch was my College Graduation present from my girlfriend last spring, and I couldn't be happier. I always receive complements on how nice and professional looking the watch is from friends and co-workers. At first I thought it would be a bit complicated to correctly set the time/date and other functions of the watch. But, with the provided mini c.d. set-up was fast and easy, it took me less the five minutes. I personally use this watch more for work since it has a professional look(in my opinion), it is also very light and at times I forget I have it on. Like everyone else who has this watch will attest too, THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WATCH. I have seen watches that easily cost twice as much and not look nearly as good as this one, from the textured leather band and detailed face. I am VERY picky on what I wear and almost never wear any type of accessories but when I go out with my g/f I always wear the watch because of how nice it looks. I asked her why she got me this watch and she said "What you want to go to work in a guess watch". I highly recommend this watch from its great looks and functionality. |

| Had this watch for over an year. Great buy. Eco drive makes it worth while esp if you find yourself changing the battery on your pervious watches. Looks expensive and elegent. Light weight. Draw backs are the silver/chrome around the watch face does scrath quite easily. Alarm is rather soft and the second time zone can be set only in 1 hour increment/decrements compared to the time set on your watch. Overall very happy with product. |

| I've owned this watch for about 3-4 years now. My only complaint was the band. The crocodile band wasn't really me. Plus after about a year, the band, where it attached to the case began to break apart. I replaced the band with a plain, black leather band. I think it looks better than the original band, and a little more comfortable. All in all, good watch. Keeps the time well. |

| "Distinctive calendar, reliable watch, pitiful strap" | 2009-07-15 |

The calendar feature of this particular timepiece is unequaled in styling...who else has a round calendar? I've had the watch for a couple years now, and long as it gets reasonable exposure to indoor light (home, office), or sunlight, it never quits. If you lived in Alaska without electricity, you might have an issue during the winter months, but then in the summer, no worries :)
Now for the leather strap. The buckle is unique as the watch...tricky at first, but you get used to it. The inner (leather?) lining is sort of like what you'd find in a men's leather shoe--thin and bonded and sewn to the thicker outer layer. The light color soon discolors due to skin oil, sweat or moisture and then it cracks. The initial feel and look is plush. But over time it is disintigrating on my wrist. Where the pins hold the strap to the watch, the inner layer has completely cracked, exposing the adhesive, but none of this is visible on the outside. Changing the strap is another nightmare. I had to go to a jeweler to get it off and replaced; I plan to change to a metal bracelet. The leather strap simply is not durable enough and replacements are expensive...up to $65, yet wear out in 12-18 months of daily use. |

| I purchased this watch while on a Princess cruise at under $200. It gains about 5-10 seconds a month. Many people have commented about the retrograde look. I love how simple it is to set the time. With most watches you must wait until the second hand points to 12 and pull the crown all the way out. You then must set the minute by backing into the correct setting since setting it forward can lose part of a minute. You must then push the crown back in at the exact time being careful not to rotate it. With this watch you pull the crown all the way out and the second hand jumps to 12. A slight click of the knob moves the minute back and forth a full minute. You then push the crown all the way in at the exact time. |

Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch #BL8000-03A
This is a light-weight, attractive watch. The numerous functions are easy to understand with the well-written manual. The band appears to be of extremely high quality leather and the watch appears to come with a very good warranty. |
