Men's Eco-Drive Weekender Avion Field Watch

I own a half dozen Citizen Eco-Drive watches, with the oldest dating back over a decade, and they have performed flawlessly from day one. I love not needing to change or charge the batteries. So, when this Weekender Avion Field Watch went on sale here at Amazon, I clicked add to cart. The Weekender Avion Field Watch is the least expensive Citizen watch I own. Oddly, it is the best looking and the easiest to read at a glance. The jumbo hour numbers are styled like old-school analog dials in my father’s old tail-dragger Piper Tripacer. Like vintage airplane instrument gauges, this Weekender Avion Field Watch has lume to glow under dim conditions. Indeed, it glows but is dim compared to my Brycen Sport and Promaster dive watches. I suppose Citizen needed to cut some corners at this price point. I found the watch and khaki nylon strap combo extremely handsome, a perfect dressy-casual look with jeans or chinos and a resort shirt. The strap is also surprisingly comfortable and felt broken-in almost immediately—much faster break-in than leather, cotton canvas, or sailcloth straps. The only minor gotcha is the crystal is a bit too glossy: wish it had anti-reflective treatments like the more expensive Citizens. Pleased with this watch and glad I bought it.

Excellent Citizen Watch! Probably an everyday use! Looks great and feels like a solid watch! Replaceable watch bands can make it even better! Price is fair and should last! I enjoy to swap every other watch I own and the eco drive keeps it going when ever it’s needed! I am a watch collectors and constantly acquire different styles! Seiko! Citizen! Orient! You can’t go wrong! Yes get it and take care of it! Let it go later and get something else new! The life of a man and his toys!!

A great watch. Wearing it right now. The solar panel charge it gets is more that enough to keep it rolling. The compass headings on the bezel are meaningless. I don't care!

Some question about a second "black" strap being supplied. No second strap. I have about 70 watches. This is my 8th and by far lowest priced Citizen. Wanted an eco field style watch. Noted some complaints by others. Thought I would try to answer. Watch arrived with crown pulled out to keep it from running and hold a partial charge. Pushed the crown in after setting the watch. Wanted to insure a good charge so put it on a light box for 12 to 14 hours. Light box available from Amazon or Walmart and I think anyone with an eco watch should have one. Eco watches do have a battery. It lasts for 10 years to a lifetime. Light charges the battery. The battery powers the watch. Leave the watch in any light and it will charge. Does best in direct sun light. Next best on a light box. Sloooow charge under a lamp or fluorescent. Read the instructions. Like the watch. Strap is comfortable and fits my slim wrist. Body is a little tall thanks to eco. Like the fleger style 12 o'clock marker. Face a little too dark for me but what I expected. A fair buy at $185.

Fantastic watch. I love the size and weight. So far keeps very accurate time. The bad part is driving the pins out of the band to size it correctly. If you are not comfortable with this you'll have to take it to a jeweler.

I'm trying to swap all my wristwatches out to solar...more because finding a place to change the battery in your watch is getting pretty difficult than for environmental reason. These Citizen Eco-drive watches seem to charge reasonably well in any light and aren't prohibitively expensive. I didn't think I'd like the adjuster knob being offset as much as I do. I like a watch to be down toward my hand.

I was looking for a simple yet confident looking casual watch and this totally fits the bill. It arrived in excellent condition. While I could certainly have kept the strap it comes with, for my slim wrist I went with a third party strap (Barton) which holes are just a little better spaced for me. The date function seems to have slightly better visibility than my other Citizen watches do and I am happy about that. The weight and thickness are just right. The colors on the dial are all clear and noticeable. Highly recommended.

This is a very nice watch that you can dress up or down depending on the occasion. I have a larger wrist, so I swapped out the band and that was easy to do. The hands and numbers glow in the dark.

Es un hermoso y excelente reloj, muy recomendable.

Watch is brilliant, but the metal bracelet is very cheap quality. Surprised to see this quality of strap on a citizen watch

Was reluctant buying this due to some bad review in the region. But decided to buy it anyway. Upon unboxing, second hand move every 2 seconds. The reason is it indicates low battery. After placing it under the sun around 30min second starting to move every second indicates the battery capacity is at stable state to use. The other negative review about this watch is its luminosity when it is in dark place. I found it valid and not. Valid because it has a level of darkness. Let me explain. When there’s no light but there’s an ambient light from window or somewhere else that affects where you are, then telling time is very hard. Now if you are in total darkness, you can tell the time right away. Meaning the luminosity is well enough to show time. And it lasted until you need it, say when you wake up at 5am. The orher negative review which this time agree but mot really much of the concern is the compass on the crown can’t rotate. This is useful when checking South direction which is why it was there. Overall, the price of the watch justified its quality.

O relógio é lindo,elegante. Podem comprar .

Me gustó mucho, un buen reloj por un buen precio. Funciona muy bien y se ve lindo.
