For well over the past eighty years Citizen has been producing high quality watches. Many of their watch models have introduced features that had never been used for watches previously. Citizen has changed our perception as to what watches are to be used for. Their voice recognized watches were the first of there kind for example. The revolutionary Lithium-Ion powered rechargeable battery stores energy to power the watch.



These Citizen models are under the Eco-Drive brand and are solar powered. With one charge of just a few hours, the watch can run for months without the need to be recharged again. Eco-Drive Aqualand diver's chronograph was the first of its kind watch including light powered with an electronic depth sensor for scuba-diving. This particular model is water resistance up to 200 meters and a depth display up to 125 feet. Other features include lowest water temperature display, dive log memory up to twenty dives, current water temperature display and surface interval measurement. Once someone goes beneath four meters in the water, the watch will autonomously switch to dive mode.

Citizens Watches can range in price from the low one hundred dollar rage to a little over five hundred dollars. Of course those prices can vary per distributor, sales, discounts etc. However, that seems to be the average high and low prices for Citizen Watches. New Citizen Watches brought from a reputable dealer should include the manual, original Citizen box and a warranty from Citizen.

Even though Citizen Watches aren't overly priced, there are inexpensive replica Citizen's on the market. You may want to do a watch comparison between an authentic Citizen and a replica before you decide which one to buy. In many cases people just like the way a watch looks and if they can get a replica at a lower price they will. Usually there are differences though that may affect the overall quality of the watch in addition to the price.

Citizen Watch movements may be based on quartz, chronograph or solar powers. If you have a Citizen Watch that requires batteries, you will be pleased to know that replacement batteries are very inexpensive and readily available. I was able to locate batteries for many Citizen brands for under ten dollars. Batteries can even be purchased based on the model you have so you don't have to worry about a conflict in parts that could damage your watch. Since the majority of the newer Citizen brands are solar powered, this won't even be an issue for most. Some common Citizen Watch features may include slide rules, alarms, water resistance, calendars and tachometers for most models.

As the owner of a Citizen Kinetic energy watch, I would personally recommend the Citizen brand. After over five years of having the watch it just keeps right on ticking with no need to ever change the battery! This is because kinetic energy uses your body motion to power the watch. The two tone gold and silver has yet to wear off or fade. Anytime I do wear the watch I always get compliments on it and people really think that I spent thousands of dollars on it when it really only cost a few hundred dollars.
