Citizen Men's AT0100-51A Eco-Drive Titanium Watch

 (32 customer reviews)

I just bought this watch last week from a different store after having reveiewed many different watch styles and brands. The key things I was looking for were: stainless steel or titanium, self winding or solar, water resistance to beyond 50m, durability, reliability and a strap that can adjust to fit my boney wrists.

I've checked out the Seiko kinetic watches, which I really liked the idea of. My father has also had one of these kinetic (aka self winding) watches for over 30 years without problems. But the only problem was that I could not find a Kinetic watch that, first of all, could be adjusted to my wrist, and secondly one that was also aesthetically pleasing for both the face and band.

I also looked at the Swiss Army brand, which look nice, are thin and handmade to "ensure" precision. But the kinetic one costs over $1k and the battery powered ones are already in the $400-500 range.

As a last resort, I also considered the Casio G-shock watch...Read more

The picture really doesn't do the watch justice. The band has thick links of titanium, which are stiff at first, but eventually loosen to an extremely comfortable fit. The chrono buttons do not stick out too far which is nice, it prevents accidental pressing. All together, its a durable, lightweight, classy looking watch.

I love everything about this watch except for the band. It's not a bad band by any means. However, I have an older Citizen titanium watch (probably about 12 or 13 years old) and the titanium band on that watch is much softer and much more flexible. I was a little disappointed with the band on this one. Other than that it's a fantastic watch. If you like Citizen and you like titanium, I'd definitely recommend this watch.
