Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Sport Luxury PCAT Chronograph Watch

Perfecto

I’ve had two citizen watches in my life. The first I got at 18 and used for the next 35 years. It still worked when I got my second that I’ve had for a decade. I just bought this one and I love it! The looks are great and the features too. I’ve always love the light charging feature- no battery replacement needed. And it has a perpetual calendar so you never need to adjust on less than 31 day months. The connection to the atomic clock (PCAT) keeps time to the second forever. I watch my smart phone switch to the next minute and this phone’s second hand is pointing to 12 at the exact second. I believe Citizen is the best watch brand you can get- and a fraction of the so-called luxury Swiss and French watches

I have a few AT citizens, multiple eco drives and they all work excellent. This is one I didn't think I'd be attracted to but when seen In person it is very classy.

Es un reloj muy bonito , deportivo , a la primera vista , muy buenos acabados buen peso excelente compra es mi opinión

Acabamento impecável, valeu cada centavo, muito fácil acertar a sincronização,não teve nenhum problema com o rádio controll aqui no Brasil, no Google eu já tinha obtido as informações sobre as configurações do relógio, elegante com roupas sociais e com roupas do dia a dia,tenha em seu braço, pois não vai se arrepender.

It seems many have gotten the functions of this watch confused with the AT4008-51E, which is the older Stainless Steel Version of this watch with an E650 movement. Before I review this watch (CB5908-57E), let me briefly differentiate between the S.S. AT4008 and the STi CB5908.I have had the Stainless Steel Model (AT4008-51E) of this watch for several years, and I have been very pleased with it. Now some quick comparisons between the Stainless Steel and the Super Titanium watches.The AT4008 is Stainless Steel, weighs 6.05 ounces, and has a red-mode hand mine with an E650 movement.The CB5908 is Super Titanium, weighs 3.90 ounces, has a blue-mode hand, and has the E660 movement. This makes the Titanium 36% lighter. Note that the Titanium has an extra link vs the Stainless Steel, yet still weighs less. If the number of links were the same, it would most likely weigh 40% less.The AT4008 has the city codes inside the mode section of the watch.The CB5008 has them on the outside of the bezel and has many more selections.Both have WR200 or 666 feet of water resistance.Size-wise, they are identical. Many will say that this watch feels cheap because of its weight. This is supposed to be lighter as it is Super Titanium.If you are used to an E650 movement, this watch will take some time. However, it is not hard and easier as the E660 movement is an upgrade from the E650. You can download the appreciated and the full PDF instruction manual from Citizen.The first thing you want to do is check the CHARGE of the watch. It should be okay, but if it is not pointing toward the upper charge level, most definitely charge it before doing anything with the watch. To check the charge. If the mode hand is NOT already set to [TME] on the mode hand, do the following.1. Pull the crown out to position 12. Rotate the crown to move the mode hand to point to [TME] - (there are two of them, and it doesn't matter which one you point to.3. Push the crown back to position 04. Press and release the lower right button (A)5. If your watch has the mode hand pointing to [TME], press the lower (A) button without doing steps 1-4.The button is located at the top right section where the days of the week are located. The had will move to a graph, and it should be towards the top of the graph. If not, charge it first.Note that the instructions are redundant and ask you to pull the crown out and move the mode hand to TME. If you have already done that, there is no need to keep doing it, as you can press the A or B button to advance to the next step.Your watch should arrive with the correct date and Leap year already set in memory. If it is, you can skip a lot of the setup instructions. If not, follow the instructions to set up the leap year located on page three of the abbreviated instructions.If you buy this watch, use the instructions for the E660 movement and pay attention to the TME settings in the mode section. There are two of each setting, ALM, CHR, SET, and TME, on the watch. It doesn't matter which TME, SET, CHR, or ALM you are on, as they both work the same; they are there for symmetry, and should the minute or hour hand be in the way when setting or changing the watch.If the date is correct on the watch and you are in a time zone that allows a signal to the Atomic Clock, don't worry about setting the time. Just ensure you have selected the correct Time Zone and DTS is either ON or OFF, depending on your location. Put your watch in a window facing towards Ft. Collins, CO, and in the morning, your watch should have the exact time to the second.Now, more about the watch. It is light, and I don't even realize I'm wearing it. It seems to be cooler than the Stainless Steel brother. It can go from casual to dress without missing a beat. With its anti-glare sapphire crystal, you don't have to be overly cautious about scratches, and unlike other titanium watch bands, this one does not appear to scratch too easily. Citizen has infused the band with a process that makes it much more scratch-resistant.Take it from a guy who likes watches. This one will make it into my rotation at least twice per week.It's a great watch with great features.Now, I don't use a few things, but if I did, it would be a bit of a letdown. The Alarm feature is way too quiet. Don't plan on it waking you up unless you sleep with your arm under your head. It works, but it just isn't very loud.I wish it had a magnifier over the date. I have to look too long to see the date, which comes with age.Other than these two things, this watch is great. It is the perfect size for me.StatsAge 61Height 6'1"Weight 235I like this size; if you are much bigger or much smaller, it may not be the watch for you.BTW if you need more links, you can contact Citizen, and they will send you two links free of charge.

This is a beautiful and feature laden watch. It has heft to it. It has all the features you would expect. Good water resistance. Sapphire crystal. It is fully adjustable and comfortable. "Luxury" is an apt description. It has one drawback: to me the set-up is very difficult. The manual and the learning curve to fully use this timepiece is quite long. I had to download the manual to my desktop so I could enlarge the tiny text for me failing eyesight and use a magnifier for some of the small details on the watch face. That said, there is good news in this regard and that is one of the major reasons I purchased it. (That, and previous Citizen watches I have owned.) You should just set it up ONCE. A solar battery keeps it charged, a perpetual calendar keeps track of the date for the rest of your life, and atomic timekeeping means your watch in all likelihood will keep EXACT time - which is kind of important for a watch. If it is left in the dark often, you can buy a small LED watch charger for occasional use, but most people will never need that. If you need to check the battery charge or direct the watch to connect to the atomic clock manually, you can. This is a functional work of art. I don't give 5 stars often. This one is an easy choice. It is simply the best watch I have ever owned.

I bought this watch for my fiftieth birthday. It looks elegant yet sophisticated and the atomic time keeping it's a great feature. I have had many compliments. Another win for Citizen.

I purchased in total four Citizen watches recently including the blue Angel. I say that so that you understand that this is probably the lightest of them. I have always leaned towards a heavier watch, but this one could be an every day wear and still be comfortable. It is quite beautiful, and I have received many compliments on it. I would recommend it to a friend, which I have already done It is a quartz movement watch and does sync with the world clock in Colorado. Therefore, you rarely need to adjust it. When you go to other cities, you simply set the minute dial on the city and it will auto adjust. Look closely at the picture of the face and you can see the cities listed around the inside of the bezel. In the US that would be New York, Chicago (9), Denver, and LA, representing the different times zones. One thing to keep in mind of these solar charging watches as they runoff a capacitor/battery and it needs to stay in light to keep it charged. This watch can be out of light for days, but I would still try and sit on a shelf near a window. If you do purchase one, you will need to go online to pull the operation manual. They aren’t somewhat complex, but with some time it’s actually very easy to understand. Overall, this is a great product and very happy with my purchase!!!
