Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Weekender Brycen Chronograph Watch in Stainless Steel

Eco drive Weekender Brycen is a great watch. Very accurate, handsome, large cream color dial with nicely legible indicators and markings. The lume on the hands is bright and lasts a decently long time, being visible in darkness for several hours. While it would have been nice to get some lume on the dial makings as well, the hands alone get the job of simply telling time in low light done. The chronograph is mechanical quarts movement caliber no. B612, a main second hand chrono accurate to 1/5 of a second. (Which means there are five micro ticks of the second hand per second, giving more of a sweep feel.) Non perpetual calendar, so you will need to set the date on the first of the month a few times a year. Subdials include 24hour(am/pm) indicator, dedicated chrono minute dial up to 60 minutes, and a second hand for the main time. (The large main second hand will not run unless the chronograph is activated which I believe is leading some people to believe this watch is arriving broken) Solar powered by citizens Eco drive technology so there is no need to worry about battery changes for a decade or more. Solar power also means that the power hungry chronograph can be run at will without worry of consuming battery life. the case features a two position knurled non screw down crown for adjusting date/time. Crown turns nicely and seats into all three positions well with no slipping or sticking. Case also boasts two oversized flat top stopwatch style buttons for activating and resetting the chronograph. The buttons have an excellent click feel upon pressing to activate and to reset. Interesting to note that the buttons will only click upon the first press since the last press of the opposing button. So for example from rest, the button presses go like this: Activate/click... Pause/no click... Reset/click... Repeat. The black bezel is a non spinning tachymeter scale with attractive silver scale numbering in a sporty racing inspired font. The crystal is a hardlex instead of a sapphire which is ok, but sapphire would have been a wise call with a watch face of this size. The brown leather rally style strap arrives stiff but breaks in nicely in a short period of time, becoming soft and comfy and really brings the vintage racing chrono look all together. All in all this is a good quality watch with excellent features and aesthetic. Id give it a 4.999 only because the crystal is not sapphire. I like this watch so much that I will also be buying the black dial version in short order.

Really nice looking watch. The bank is strong and appears to be of good quality. The dial is easy to read. I am pleased with my purchase.

Well-made and stylish. Bought this for my son for Christmas. He loves it.

Great looking watch with a nice brown leather band. Looks great on the wrist and no batteries needed.

This is a great watch. Super accurate, dependable, nice dial, looks fantastic. Can wear with jeans and T-shirt or dress it up. Strap comfortable. The stated 49mm case diameter under specifications is NOT accurate. It measures 44mm diameter with a lug-to-lug dimension of 52mm. Easy to read. I wish the orange hand was for seconds instead of the chronometer. Not a big fan of the small seconds dial, but it's not a show stopper. Once again the Eco-Drive is a big win; no batteries required, nor the winding or necessary movement / light movements that Automatic watches require. I'd buy it again for sure. Very cool watch in person. One star off for a tiny date window.

I was interested in this watch a few years ago when it was a lot less pricey but I didn't get it. Wish I did. Even at the sale price I picked it for it's still costs a lot more. I wanted a eco-drive watch because I'm a huge fan of the Casio solar watches. This watch looks better then most Casios of this style. The face is simple with stamped numbers and pins. Easy to read the cream dial although in low light the white hands can be difficult to read. The hands are the only part that glows. Buttons seem to be of good quality. The band was instantly removed and I installed a Barton silicone band (black with orange trim). The leather band did not have quick release pins so it was in a pain getting off. The Barton is WAY more comfortable. Good size stainless steel case. Not huge by any standard but not small like many dress watches. Keeps good time although not atomic. Outer rim is a tachymeter which is easy to use since the large second hand belongs to the stopwatch. Of course it requires math so if you're unaware of how it works there are tutorials online. Comes is a decent gift box. Highly recommended if you can get on sale.

This is a really nice watch. Looks great and keeps time with great precision. I highly recommend it.

Es bonito, llegó en tiempo y forma. Por el precio me parece bien. No me gusta un poco, porque no encaja nuy birn en la muñeca en cuanto a los bordes, espero que con el tiempo se ajuste.... más delante comunicaré los detalles.

J ai acheté ce produit sur amazone car non disponible en magasin . Quelque peut déçu de la qualité du produit et du prix pratique ce produit étant disponible sur un autre site 4you a 177 € contre 345 € chez amazone

Hermoso reloj, bien hecho y con la garantía de Citizen, lo recomiendo 100%, solo la piel del extensible es muy rígida pero considero que es para que dure todo la vida, yo lo que hago es darle movimiento o tipo masaje para ablandar y listo!…Además la tecnología eco drive lo mejor del mundo no te preocupa el cambio de pila ni movimientos complicados o delicados…Lo recomiendo100%

Great looking watch . Lightweight, comfortable.

I am a fan of Citizen and their Japanese/Swiss history. It is a quality timepiece that is priced easily1/3 below its worth. I would have liked to see a Sapphire crystal which is not unreasonable at this price point with todays synthetic technology. It has a mineral crystal which may shatter at very low or high temperatures, like up here in Canada where we get to -30C. Overall I am happy with the purchase and if you are looking for a stylish, quality engineered watch at a reasonable price then you should like this watch also. Compare to a Timex Tx line in design
