For a rugged look with a comfortable fit, this military-inspired watch fits the bill.

A black dial provides a backdrop for bold Arabic numerals, luminous hands & date, in a stainless steel case with green strap & patterned stitching. Featuring our Eco-Drive technology – powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery. Caliber number H500.

I bought this watch for myself for graduating US Army flight school and have been wearing it ever since (5 years). I like the size and look, and while it hasn't failed completely, it has certainly suffered. I haven't trashed it, I don't typically take it into the field, I usually take my G shock because I don't care if that gets wrecked. But I definitely don't baby it. I have replaced the band twice now due to fraying and cracking. The glass has some decent chips and scratches, but is still borderline serviceable, the case has plenty of scratches in it, the back is textured from sand getting between it and my wrist. I haven't taken it swimming too much, but it gets wet from rain, sweat, dew, periodic submersion etc, and I think the waterproofing is failing as I had some condensation on the inside of the glass that took about a month to go away. After that happened the red chronograph hand now stops on the 58 second mark instead of at 12 o'clock. I just returned from a 7 month deployment where the watch sat in a duffel bag for about 6. When I took it out it took a bit to charge and now it doesn't seem to be keeping time very well anymore, and the chrono doesn't work at all. I still like the watch, I just don't treat it super well. Sadly it does not seem to be up to the rigours of a helicopter pilot's life (not a ton of rigour).I wish it was a lot more rugged while maintaining the same sleek and simple look, but I still plan on getting it serviced and will continue to wear it.

I bought this watch a few weeks ago and it is exactly what I wanted. Nice looking, simple and reliable watch with a fabric band. Until I run it through a mill for a few years, it will also double as a dress watch.

I liked it that much that I bought a second one after losing my first. The 5-year warranty is a good bonus as well. It's light, doesn't cause any discomfort either. however my only peeve is the strap length besides that it's a solid watch to own.

I received this watch as a birthday gift. I have never been more pleased with a watch. When I get a watch, I look for quality in every manner. If the hand line up with the tick marks exactly, how well it holds time, how heavy it is, how well it wears. I can say, by far, the best watch I have ever owned. The look of this watch is perfect for an old military dog like me too. Very similar in look to my old army watch, but with unmatched quality. Would definitely recommend.

I have enjoyed the purchase of an eco watch. The watch band while serviceable, is not appropriately sized. I am getting a new band to make my enjoyment of the watch better

I've been wearing this watch for three years to any occasion whether it be conferences, fishing, formal wear, or smoking Boston butts. I get compliments about my Citizen from all walks of life.
