Citizen Men's BM6560-54H Eco-Drive Titanium Watch

 (14 customer reviews)

I waited several months to write this review, just in case my first impression changed. But after several months, I am still thrilled with this watch. I have had several people compliment me on it since buying it (without me pointing out that it was new or anything like that). It looks slightly darker in person than in the pictures on Amazon, which makes the shiny outer band really stand out. The hands and hour markers catch the light like jewels, without looking the least bit feminine. The links in the band are nearly seamless. It weighs so little that I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back to stainless steal.

I agree that the negative posts have to be about another Citizen Watch. Several of the Eco-Drives seem to have a faulty clasp (you can tell just by looking at them and holding the watches in your hand if the clasp is good or not).

This model in particular is fantastic and I've had no problems with it whatsoever. I received it as a gift two years ago and I've gotten more compliments than I can count.

The Citizen BM6560-54H is a great quality product and, by far, the best watch I've ever owned - durable, good looking, and it works perfectly.
