I thought I would review my fabulous Citizen Eco-Drive that I have been wearing for about 5 months now. I love it. I love the concept of these watches anyway - the fact that they are driven by solar power makes them so cool. My dad used to have a kinetic watch and I thought that was a great idea and that made me check out what kinetic watches were available, which is when I discovered this solar-powered range. I used to wear a Rotary watch that obviously needed a new battery about once a year and in getting that battery fitted, the company I used managed to break the waterproof seal so the watch was never water-resistant after that and it eventually stopped working. So I just love the idea that such watches as kinetic or solar-powered obtain their power in such an environmentally friendly manner. Well, as I have only had this
watch a few months I cannot really say how long it will last me, but I can say that it has kept absolutely perfect time. I also love the way it
looks - and the price. I have made no extra effort to charge up this watch - I have just worn it normally, peeking out of my long sleeve tops (as it is still cold at the moment) but as it can recharge just from artificial light as well as the sun, it gets plenty of energy with no effort on my part.
There are different colour tones to choose from, gold, silver-look or two-tone and I chose a two-tone one because not only does it go with my gold jewellery but also with all my silver accents that I have on bags and belts etc - but the all-gold coloured watches maybe look like they are trying too hard to look like real gold. You can
choose from different coloured faces but when I was in the shop, I just loved the mother of pearl face on my one. It is so beautiful when I look at it in the light, with a general violet shade and hints of green - as beautiful as mother of pearl is. I was thinking of getting a fresh white faced watch but I loved this mother of pearl look. My watch has a classy look with a round face and a strap of about an inch in width - a nice size for my hands. This one is not too petite and feminine like some but it has a great classic look. There are of course different styles to choose from and you should have a look at the website. I am reviewing this
watch in general as I cannot remember the particular name of my watch. You can get them with ...
