CITIZEN IS A VERY GOOD COMPANY. THEY HAVE A 5 YEAR WARRANTY ON THEIR PRODUCTS AND STAND BEHIND THEM! I HAVE 4 ECHO-DRIVES AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH ANY OF THEM. MY WIFE HAS 2 AND HAS ALSO HAD NO PROBLEMS.
THEY ARE A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD PRICE RANGE WATCH, THEIR PRICES AND QUALITY IS THAT OF THEIR COMPETITION, SEIKO.
THERE IS MANY NEW STYLES COMING IN THE NEW YEAR. YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THEM OUT BEFORE PURCHASING AT THIS TIME.
WATCHES ARE LIKE CARS. THEY ARE ALL MADE WITH COMPETITIVE PRODUCTS SO IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO WHAT STYLES "trip your trigger"
hope this helps a little.
