Others really appreciated how you only have to set the time and date once, then never worry about it again.

One of them pointed out how this watch has all the features he’d ever need from a watch. To solidify my opinion of the watch, I went to the Amazon review section to see if the watch satisfied customers. While a 24-hour time display may seem purely aesthetic to some, there are others (including myself) who like the 24-hour format. The calendar displays the date, month, and the day. While having an alternate timezone option adds another layer of convenience, especially for those who have to go on business trips a lot. This was done by putting a solar panel on the dial which keeps the watch ticking.Īs long as you the timepiece gets regular exposure to light, it can keep ticking for a lifetime.Īside from having this famous movement, the Citizen BL8000-54L has a perpetual calendar, alternate timezones, and 24-hour display.Ī perpetual calendar automatically adjusts for days of the month and leap years all the way up to 2100. This movement gained popularity for its ability to keep track of time accurately (which is expected of Japanese quartz), while also eliminating the need for a battery change. The Eco-Drive movement is almost synonymous with the Citizen brand at this point.

The 24-hour display, alternate timezone, and calendar are very easy to navigate through and to read.Īside from that, the font choices give the watch so much class.Īnother detail I really appreciate is the outer ring of the dial, where the months are written in a very classy silver tone.Ĭombine all of that with the silver, 39mm case (which is a very flexible size) and bracelet, and you have yourself a very cohesive watch.Įverything in the watch’s design compliments each other, making this a great piece to wear with a suit, or even just worn casually. The sub-dials of the watch are laid out perfectly. The silver Roman numeral markers and hands add an air of sophistication that’s difficult to come by in this price range. The way the blue and silver tones contrast each other just looks great. First of all, I have to mention the dial.
