This is my first Citizen Eco-Drive and I am very pleased with the watch. . The watch face is a replica from a famous Bell&Ross watches. The watch has no fancy bells, whistles or alarms but the elegance of a simple easy to read face and not having to worry about battery dying, replacements, etc is a wonderful thing.

The watch hands and numbers have a gentle luminosity that is easy to read but is not overly bright as many others do. Contrary to the description, my watch has genuine leather (at least on the back side).

This is the perfect weekend watch!
Adding some pictures with different straps / bands.

Update 5-17-15
For those Spanish speaking; the watch also features the day of the week in Spanish and English. Sunday is red with DOM. =)

Update 7-02-16
Uploading some new pictures and conducted LUM Test. Many claim that this piece does not have a LUM. Well, the hands, the numbers and the hours markers do have a LUM. However, within less than 2 hours you could barely see them on a dark room; so they don't hold the charge for a long time. However if you are coming from the outside to a dark room, you can easily see all 3; the hands being the brightest.

Added a picture with a different leather strap. The watch comes alive with a better strap. I am enjoying the watch a lot more with a lighter distressed brown leather strap.

I've had this time piece for over a year now with frequent domestic wear and I cannot find anything wrong with what this piece from Citizen offers. Looks really good as a casual watch, I've change the leather band once just to give it a bit different look; it also looks really handsome with a Nato/Zulu Strap. (sorry for the pictures sideways it is an Amazon thing, pictures display correctly on my PC).

2nd year update: 08/17/2017
After 2 years from original purchase, this watch continues to look as good as it did when I bought it new. The Black Ionized finish is intact and scratch free. The dial is also scratch free. The watch keeps great time with the only minor hiccup that if I charge it directly on sunlight, it usually speeds up a bit before settling down to a gain of about .02 secs per day. This piece is part of my regular rotation specially for weekend wear. I replaced the leather strap with a strap from Clockwork Synergy. The OEM strap was not bad but totally recommend upgrading the leather; it raises the feel and comfort of the watch 100%. The price of this watch is a bargain, no batteries to be replaced.

5.0 out of 5 stars great watch
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2012
Color: BrownVerified Purchase
This watch reminds me of a Bell & Ross Vintage Heritage BR 123 watch I rrreaalllyy want but can't afford at this moment.

http://www.amazon.com/Bell-Ross-BR123-HERITAGE-Vintage-Black/dp/B005N8AGLC/ref=sr_1_1?s=watches&ie=UTF8&qid=1348893781&sr=1-1&keywords=Bell+%26+Ross+Vintage+123

But when I saw this Citizen watch, I realized its similar aesthetics to the BR 123 (but without the hefty price).

-Essentially, the Swiss mechanical automatic movement is replaced with a eco-drive Japanese quartz movement,
-the anti reflective ultra curved super hard sapphire crystal is replaced by an off the shelf mineral crystal,
-the sand colored beige leather strap and markers/hands are replaced by a general orange,
-the thin case of the BR 123 is replaced by Citizen's bulkier case,
-the second hand is not subsidiary (like the BR 123), but part of the hour and minute hands (like most watches).
-However, the citizen adds a day indicator whilst the BR 123 does not.

Now subtract about $3,069 (original price $3,200) and you get the Citizen BM8475-26E ($131). What really sold me to the Citizen was the eco-drive technology. Although it does not compare to the Swiss mechanical automatic movement of the BR 123, knowing that if you keep good care of this watch, you shouldn't ever have to replace the battery. Which makes me wonder if this watch lasts as long as light exists (forever?... I question that. I guess time will tell)... The colors are also great and unique. The orange markers and hands against the black dial make it desirable since orange and black are one of my favorite color combinations. You can't really find a classic looking watch like this in orange.

The only things that concern me after I purchased it was the date adjust... You really have to be gentle and gingerly with it or I feel like it may damage the movement. Pulling the crown should also be done gingerly. It's tricky to get it to the right spot and takes practice to master. The band squeaks a bit, but goes away after a week or more of daily wear. All in all the price and design of this watch makes it very enticing to purchase and own, which I have no regrets doing. This watch doesn't make you wonder, "does this watch come with insurance?" like you do with high end time pieces. With this price, and this eco-drive technology, I feel like it's a worthy and economic (and ecological?) investment.

Oh, and I just realized the luminescence of the hands and dials are not as strong as some of my other watches... but it doesn't bother me as much, because I don't find myself in a situation where I'm in super pitch darkness and then wonder... "that time is it?".

Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2022
Color: BrownVerified Purchase
I bought this watch in March of 2015 (off of Amazon) and I'm writing this review on July 2022. I just wanted to say that the watch is a good watch and that it has never stopped working. Best of all - no batteries to replace! I did go through a number of watch bands though - I'm on my second replacement watch band - but, this is over a 7 year period. As many have reported the glass scratches and my watch is no different. My watch has a lot of scratches. I have a tendency to orient the watch on my inner wrist which causes the face of the watch to come in contact with tables. For example as I type on a computer keyboard the watch is facing toward the table and touching the table. So, I've probably added more scratches because of this. The scratches just don't bother me though. I've snapped a few pictures (and hopefully I can upload to this review). In the last photo I pointed to watch to reflect the ceiling light - to make the scratches more visible. I'm old and need reading glasses so, for me, it's difficult to see the date without my glasses. Overall, and all things considered, I'd buy this watch again.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love its design, outstanding clarity, and Eco-Drive Citizen quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 17, 2019
Color: BrownVerified Purchase
The watch has a great set of features that I sought -- truly clear and easy to read at a glance, eco-drive technology, large size without being huge, comfortable to wear, modern and stylish. I also looked for one that was very light on the arm. This is close, but I found it to be ten grams more than listed on the site (weighing 69 vs 59 grams that was listed). It's still light relative to other good watches, just not feather-light. I wanted a second hand that was clear but distinct from the others, night visibility, date and day, and this has all that, too. I love the design.

Citizen makes excellent watch and I was always fascinated by their ecodrive series. This watch is no exception in solid build and craftsmanship. Even though it is slightly on there heavy side and looks may fool you to be relatively flimsy product. But I found the body very rugged metal and quartz glass is able to take lot of abuse.
If this watch is still available after 10- 15 years , I may buy again
