Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Amazon.com Product Description

Whether navigating a business deal or the rough ocean waves in your kayak, make a bold statement with the Citizen Corso BM8120-56E titanium men's watch. Titanium is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion. This large, round watch measures 1.5 inches in diameter and sits prominantly on your wrist. It's powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artifical light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use.

It features a polished titanium bezel, textured black dial background, mix of silver dial markers and Roman numerals, luminous baton hands (with second hand), and day/date feature at 3 o'clock. The round case is fully integrated into the rounded, skeletal-like titanium bracelet, which is joined by a push-button, fold-over clasp. Other features include Japanese quartz movement, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet), and Citizen's 5-year warranty.

Eco-Drive Frequently Asked Questions
How can you tell if the Eco-Drive watch is getting enough light?
In normal use, the watch displays the time and the sweep-second hand moves in one second intervals. A very important feature of Eco-Drive is the Low Charge Warning Mode which as a result of low battery voltage, causes the second hand to jump two seconds at a time (while still keeping correct time).

How long will an Eco-Drive watch run after it is fully charged?
If your watch is put away where no light is available to it while in a fully charged state, depending on the model, it will run for from 45 days to 5 years.

How can the Eco-Drive watch be recharged?
Besides sunlight, it can be safely charged by exposing it to a fluorescent desk lamp, with the dial (face) up and within about 8 inches or an incandescent lamp (regular light bulb) no closer than 20 inches. Never use a halogen lamp since the heat generated by it can cause damage to your watch. The most efficient and the quickest is in direct bright sunlight (not windowsill) and never on the dashboard of a car.

Great watch!!!!! - Reviewed on 2008-08-03

This is a great piece of craftsmanship. I say this because its light weight, durable, and I enjoy the fact that its powered by light. Especially not only sunlight; but indoor lighting as well granted that it will take longer to charge the watch. Still great watch overall. I'll probably buy my dad one for his birthday.

Good, solid watch w/o all the bells & whistles - Reviewed on 2008-07-12

This watch is very comfortable to wear. It's so light i often forget i have it on. I also enjoy being able to wear it into the shower, because it makes it easy to give it a quick cleaning. I've never needed to pay any special attention to making sure it gets enough light. The glow in the dark hands and dial markers are very bright and easy to read.

The only down side is that you have to reset the date after a month that has less than 31 days. This is because the date dial just counts up to 31 every month. However, setting this is very easy and takes just a second or two to do.

I'm very happy with the watch and suggest it to any man who wants a simple, comfortable, stylish watch.
Stately, Modest, Accurate - Reviewed on 2008-06-21

When shopping for a timepiece, I look for quality without ostentation. This particular Eco-Drive fits the bill with a demure face and the features that I want. The Eco-dive system means I won't have to go searching for a battery for the the life of the watch, an activity that I find strangely onerous.

I also took advantage of next-day shipping on this item, so I would not be excessively out of time. Amazon came through with flying colors.
