Citizen Mens BM8080-59A Eco-Drive Corso Stainless Steel Watch

Product Review

Whether navigating a business deal or the rough ocean waves in your kayak, make a bold statement with the Citizen Corso BM8080-59A stainless steel men's watch. This large, round watch measures 1.5 inches in diameter and sits prominantly on your wrist. It's powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artifical light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use.

It features a polished stainless steel bezel with scalloped highlights, textured silvery blue dial background, silver dial markers, luminous stick hands (with second hand), and day/date feature at 3 o'clock. The round case is fully integrated into the rounded link bracelet band, which is joined by a push-button, fold-over clasp. Other features include Japanese quartz movement, water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).

Durable, clean look, and an interesting piece of technology, July 14, 2006

I have had this watch almost 2 years no, and So far so good. Simple face without many extra dials cluttering the face. Gives an expensive look at an affordable price. The eco-drive is interesting. I charged it the first day I had it (sat it in the sun) and it should be good to go, never having to change the battery, which means never breaking the waterseal. The demise of my last few watches has been after the second or third battery changes, the seal never quite woked again. So if your in the field for a durable watch, simple classic look without clutter, and no battery changes, this watch is it.

This watch is extremely versatile. It is dressy enough to wear to work, but not too fancy to wear with a pair of jeans. The silver dial matches anything you wear, and isn't cluttered with useless auxiliary functions. The watch band is stunning, though difficult to size (you may consider bringing it in to a jeweler). The icing on the cake is the watch being solar powered. You never need to change a battery, and in complete darkness it keeps perfect time for 5 years.

Great looking watch, April 14, 2009

I bought this watch a year and a half ago, and I've hardly ever taken it off since (ok that may be a slight exaggeration) - but it certainly feels that way. It goes great with basically anything I wear, plus the fact that it never needs a battery is also great. I would definitely recommend it to any of my friends or family. I briefly considered buying the light blue face version, but I wound up getting this silver version instead and I'm glad I did.
