For interest, this is about a Citizen Modena Perpetual Eco-Drive watch. Long title, fancy thing for a watch! I use to have digital watch when I was a lad, but grew out of them fairly rapidly. I liked the look of some analogue watches and bought a Seiko for about £30 around 14 years ago. This was OK, but the leather strap broke. Fix that, replace the battery and I?ve doubled the cost of the original purchase. When the oil reservoir ran out and I would have to treble the cost to get it repaired, I got a watch from Marks and Spencer. Similar deal, lasted a few years and strap ... Read the complete review

I purchased my husband a Citizen Eco-drive watch on the occasion of our wedding (ahh. Sick making I know.) I can’t tell you exact model except for it could be any one of the following models. I have trawled their web pages and could not find it. Checked all the paper work that came with the watch could not find a model number. So I think that they no longer produce it. But I am sure that you can still get it in the shops. BJ6*** /EP5***/EP6***/EW0***/EW1***/EW2***/EW3***/EW4*** The watch is metal bracelet type. The face is dark blue and that is the solar panel. So you never need to buy any more batteries. Amazing I know that is ... Read the complete review

I own a large quantity of watches. Probably more than is healthy for one man. That's not to say I'm obsessed with time keeping, but I have to admit that I'm rarely late. So, my man drawer is positively bulging with timepieces, many of which require a new battery. A fact that seems to irritate my wife to no end, so when a recent "big occasion" occurred in our lives, my wife kindly purchased me a new watch that apparently will never require a new battery! The watch in question is a Citizen BV1045-01E from the Citizen Eco Drive collection. It's a solar powered watch that uses the light to charge it's battery, so in theory I should ...

When looking for a watch that requires no new batteries there are really only two options: Kinetically charged (e.g. Seiko kinetic) or solar powered (this one). There is a big disadvantage with the Kinetic style of watch in that the bearings that transfer the kinetic energy often need to be replaced approximately every four years. This means that the hassle of getting a new battery every so often is just replaced with the hassle of renewing the bearings. The solar powered style of watch has fewer moving parts and so is less prone to wearing out. It was for this reason that I decided on the Citizen watch. For an analogue watch this has a healthy number ... Read the complete review

Citizen Eco Drive watch, harness the power of light, being any form of light, to charge its battery, which in theory, means that you will never have to replace the battery. There are 27 different men's styles and 9 different women's styles. Out of those styles, there are 9 men's/women's matched sets. My watch is the Citizen Eco Drive Stiletto, it has a lithium-ion battery, that should run the watch forever. It is designed to run on full charge for 180days and takes roughly 3.5hours to charge fully in sunlight or one minute to charge for one days worth of power consumption. Although I'm not the biggest fan of bracelet watches, this watch, is made mostly of ... Read the complete review
