“I bought this watch as an alternate to wear. I also have a Seiko Diver and this watch is stylish to wear from a business standpoint. I swapped out the existing band for a silicone one as it does get wet from time to time. It is very accurate and I like the Eco-Drive power feature. Recommended.”

“I bought this for myself almost 7 years ago. I wanted a casual, reasonably handsome, durable, and not-terribly expensive watch for daily wear, and decided to look for a Citizen Eco-Drive model, having read good things about their durability and functionality. It was important to me to find a highly-accurate, quartz watch that would essentially never need a battery replacement. (Previous battery-powered watches seemed to need battery replacement at the most inconvenient times and places.) Reliable water resistance, for swimming, showering, and so on was important, too. The Eco-Drives were advertised to cover all those bases, and I have not been in any way disappointed. Also, I very specifically wanted a simple and traditional, analog-style watch––and something that was not gigantic and undignified. The 37mm "Chandler" model caught my eye. From prior experience, I was aware before placing the order that its canvas type strap was unlikely to fit my 8-1/2 inch wrist. So when deciding on what I could spend on a watch, I figured-in the cost of a new strap. The Chandler's strap was indeed much too small for me. I was not crazy about its metal grommets, in any case. To me, the textured fabric and grommets looked too casual for the office or a nice restaurant. Nevertheless, I give the design––of the watch itself––high marks. So I put it on an XL-length black rubber band, and voila! The perfect watch. I've been wearing it several times a week for nearly 7 years. I think it looks great. My wife approves. It's perfectly appropriate for most any day I don't need to wear a suit. It works really well for my typical Mon-Fri 'business casual' attire. But I also wear it on the beach, on a mower, splitting firewood, skiing, and right into the shower afterward. On a waterproof strap, the watch looks good, is a non-silly size, keeps great time, and seems impervious to mistreatment. I could not be happier. Bought an identical one for my 20-year-old son two years ago when I noticed him wearing his rubberized digital watch with a sports coat and slacks. If your lifestyle is anything like mine, you'll be happy with one of these.”

“Seafood freezers, meat coolers and freezers, harsh detergents with chlorine or ammonia, HOT HOT HOT water....the only thing that’s worn out is the band. I have a collection of watches but this one with it’s Aviator style face and easy to read without my glasses is a favorite. Great work Citizen! A KEEPER!”

“I purchased a Citizen Garrison BM8180-03E in 2008. Have worn it every day since purchase. Professionally, I have access to precision time standards. This Citizen keeps accurate time better than any other analog watch I've owned.”
