Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Weekender Avion Chronograph Field Watch in Stainless Steel with Brown Leather strap, Grey Dial (Model: CA4210-24E)

I recently just got back into wearing wrist watches not only for fashion, but to help prevent myself from always pulling out my phone to check the time (was a killer on my phone's battery). First off, I decided to try out a smartwatch: the Asus ZenWatch 3. Having an Android phone I decided to try out an Android smartwatch, and the Asus ZenWatch 3 was one of the cheapest, yet best looking (imo) smartwatch: not too big, not too small, good round form with a nicely manufactured body. Overall a pretty good first smartwatch purchase. Only gripe: the watchface were just too "digital" looking. Kind of reminded me of having one of those calculator watches from back in the day. The other issue I had with it was the charging - I had to charge it every night, and sometimes even 3/4 through my day. The smartwatch is now my secondary accessory.So I had to search for another option. One day walking through my local department store I started eying traditional wristwatches - Seiko, Invicta, Timex, Casio, Citizen, etc. All of these had some nice, clean looking faces. A couple of them even have pretty much lifetime power sources (automatic/kinetic, eco-drive, solar, etc). I didn't buy one at the store (because most of them were well over my budget just to tell time), so I went online to search.Citizen, Seiko, and Invicta were the three brands I searched for mostly, just because I preferred their style a little more than others I browsed. Then I stumbled upon this: Citizen Avion (CA4210-24E).Overall it's a fantastic watch that's very pleasing to look at. I had just forgotten how beautiful analog watches can be. Although there's no fancy jewels or gems, it's still very clean and easy to read. Stopwatch function is just an add-on for me, but the option of having it just gives a little more usability. So far it's been reliable at telling time accurately and the date.The watch only has luminous minute and hour hands, was hoping for numbers also but still very easy to read in pitch black after light storage.Only issue was the band that needed to be worked on before it was comfortable to wear: it's a tough, thick leather that basically felt like hard plastic the first couple of days but has formed nicely over time. The watch is also somewhat heavier than I'm used to, but I've also gotten used to that.So, all in all, you just can't beat the look and feel of a traditional analog watch.

I will first have it known that this is my first analogue watch purchase.My first impression upon receiving the watch is that it was more aesthetically pleasing than in the pictures. Though the stainless-steel case is reflective and bright, it does not have the silver-like appearance as shown in the primary picture; the video is a better depiction of the color.An aspect that truly stood out to me was that the watch face had depth. By that, I point out that in the product pictures, the main-face and the smaller sub-faces appear to be on the same plain; this is not the case. The sub-faces are slightly below the level of the main-face giving the watch its “depth”. In my opinion, this increases the appeal of the watch.The band is thick, very comfortable, and appears to be quality. I have a job that works outdoors; the watch will be exposed to four-seasons, sweat, and dirt. I will update the review if the band has substandard performance expectations (that are set pretty high at this point).The only con that I can see thus far is that the second band loop that is intended to secure excess band for wearers with smaller wrists is too loose causing the loop to slide during wear. I have an above average wrist size; the second strap is unnecessary and could be cut off without effecting the band performance however, I want to keep the OEM appearance.Overall, I am very pleased with the watch. In the future I will update the review.

I loved this watch as soon as I opened the box. I’ve always liked Citizen Eco Drive watches for their sleek styling, high quality and affordable price. This watch is no exception.It is a large watch that attracts attention and compliments but it’s not gaudy or flashy. I was a little hesitant about the 45mm case being too big on my 7 inch wrist but it looks great. This watch features a timeless aviator design that is both sophisticated and stylish. The leather band is of surprisingly high quality for the price paid. Love the shade of brown with the contrast white stitching. Pair all that with the black face and this watch will go with just about any outfit.It’s an Eco Drive so that’s a huge plus. I almost never buy a watch that isn’t solar powered or mechanical. The Eco Drive battery had a charge and was ready to go out of the box.Very happy with the purchase. Another winner for Citizen!

This is the first watch I've purchased in 25 years and I'm very happy with it. Looks good and fits nicely. I thought it might be a little heavy but turns out not to be. Main reason I purchase this Citizen watch was the Eco-Drive so I no longer have to worry about having a battery replaced every 18 months. I am very happy with the real leather band which looks great. Only down side is the date window between 4 and 5. It is very small and impossible for me to see even with glasses. Note: I did not ding the 5 stars for the small date window because of the great looks and feel of the watch. This Citizen Men's Eco Drive Stainless Steel watch was a "VERY GOOD" price, almost 1/2 the price of the other wrist watches I was eyeing.

Perfecto todo excelente me encantó...!!!

I've been looking for a pilot/aviation inspired watch for awhile and decided on this one.The styling and aesthetics of this are very nice; representing the era well. The chronograph function effortlessly. Upper crown starts/pauses and lower crown resets. The small left dial marks each minute up to an hour. The 24Hr dial is a unique addition to the face for quickly identifying AM/PM. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this is solar powered; as I was thinking it was automatic. Never needing to wear to wind or change a battery again? I am eager to see how this goes. Watch began charging and was running instantly when I took it out of the box.My only complaint is the date marker is small and difficult to read. Still usable, but requiring you to adjust closeness and angle of watch to read.Watch strap is perfectly matched, but I have found I use the last hole to wear comfortably causing the strap to seem somewhat short. My wrist is eight inches though, so not a fault of manufacturer as I'm sure it is delivered to standard specs. Just keep in mind if you have a larger wrist.Overall, a beautiful watch with convenient & useful features for this price point.

El reloj que compre modelo CA4210-24E, esta espectacular, de eso no voy a hablar, si no de como llegó, el paquete llego sin documentos papeles como garantía e instructivo la caja pegada con una simple cinta, lo mas grave el reloj llego con una raspadura de la cual al ser "nuevo" no la tendría que tener, la calificación ya saben para quien es.

Beautiful watch.I wanted to have a watch that does not require battery changes. I trust this one will do that for me with the Ecodrive.The watch face is grey and light brown inner dial, contrasting the stitched brown strap well.I enjoy the nice large classic styled face with luminous hands.The case is not overly thick (approx 12 mm) or heavy (95 grams) for that matter.The leather strap is nice and sturdy and is breaking in well.I wear this watch almost daily and receive many compliments.Amazon shipping was fast

I love watches that are 4-44mm+ this one is 45 and looks amazing. Can't lie... Not something I needed, but so glad I got it.
