Nice Watch!
This is much better than the other Citizen Titanium watch this competes with. That watch has no numbers on the dial. And is very blah. This looks nice and for the price, it's tough to beat. It's light as a feather since it's Super Titanium and the glass is Sapphire, meaning it's more durable than regular glass.The only thing I would change on it is the date. The date is very, very hard to read! And it does not show the day of the week. Also, if Citizen is smart, it would take this watch and make a Diver's model out of it, should be easy to do.

Light weight and great looking
To start of this is a great timepiece. My previous watch is a Citizen BM8180-03E it's also an Eco-drive watch. The only problem it had was that the crystal was mineral and not Sapphire and was protruding from the bezel. In my clumsy hands, it meant many starches. I bought this watch hoping that the bezel ring is above the crystal and would protect the crystal like in dive watches also sapphire is more scratch resistant. The BM8180-03E is light about 43 grams including the strap. Titanium is 40% lighter then steel, I do not like heavy watches. As can be seen from the pictures the rim is only slightly above the crystal hopefully that will help protect it. The watch feels really light on the hand and in fact it is ~86 grams including the original bracelet, the picture is after I have removed two links, an easy task. The case alone is 39 grams (including the hinges). If you go for a canvas strap you could shed of about 37 grams, might try this in the future. 42mm is the top for my wrist. The date window is annoyingly small and there is no day. Other than that 100-meter water resistant and Eco-drive means it's supposed to be pretty worry free. I got it used from Amazon warehouse with a small scratch on the bracelet, was worth the discount by far. I think the face looks great and the luminescence is great so highly recommend.

Great watch
I’ve only had the watch a week or two but it’s a great watch and it looks good. No problems setting it up.

Perfect watch for me. Lighter than you can imagine - sits like a leather band.
Beautiful watch. I do NOT like flashy, and this is understated, but very cool. Very pretty blue, but really so dark that it seems more blue-gray. Will come back later in a few months and let you know the hindsight deal.You cannot believe the lightness of this watch. The heft is closer to a larger leather band watch than any steel watch I have ever owned. In love with the feel.Now, the band is NOT a usual pin band. I took it to a jeweler, and they said it required a special tool. The titanium watches are not usual steel band construction for purposes of adjustment. Not sure how difficult, but will let you know. I have no interest in finally getting the watch I wanted and then screwing it up, so I'm gonna find a jeweler with confidence. UPDATE: Too difficult for me, but no need for special tool. Take it to an actual jeweler, not the sales person.

Good watch
I’m critical when reviewing watches. This watch is good but not five stars. I purchased this over a Seiko Padi diver because I didn’t want something too big. The Padi is overall a better watch but you have to like a larger dive style watch.This one is nice . Titanium feel and sapphire are selling points. It’s very light on the wrist but not cheap feeling at all. I haven’t had it long so I can’t speak to the accuracy yet but citizen has good eco drive reputation. Size is good for someone looking for low profile everyday watch, and it looks very nice. The blue is a darker shade and the bracelet is attractive and sturdy.The reviews criticizing the date window are accurate . It’s hard to read but not impossible. The lume is fair (not like a seiko), and the clasp has no fold over component which would be nice to have.

Fantastic Citizen
This is a great looking watch for a great price.Few things;1. After seeing some reviews I thought this was feathery light watch but it is not. it’s not hefty but it does have some weight.2. Secondhand does not make any sound at all. It ticks but no ticking sound.3. Watch links have tiny collar rings. Don’t miss that when you take out the links.4. Only two micro adjustments. So it’s really one adjustment when you think about it. So that is irresponsible for citizen. You need to make watches with more than one micro adjustment. Fortunately it worked out for me but you got to think twice before you buy this.All in all there’s nothing that makes me unhappy about this watch.So buy it while available.

Great watch
I picked this watch out because went to get my previous watch a new battery, and spent $20 on it. I felt that I was done with spending $20 for battery replacements every year, so I set out to look for a solar powered watch. I researched different kinds of solar watches and boiled my choice down to the Citizen and the Seiko (I also bought a Seiko Couture and will review that as well). I specifically wanted an Eco drive and found the style of the BM6929-56L to my liking. I bought this just after Christmas and have had it for nearly a month.Impression: great watch. I like the Sapphire crystal, so i don't have to worry about scratches. No need for batteries, as these go for 10 years without needing a replacement battery (not sure if there is a different kind of solar powered battery that needs to be replaced, but at least it won't be for about 10 years or so). At first I thought the bracelet was too wimpy. It makes that watch lighter in weight overall. But so far, it is fine. The bracelet does not dig into my arm, it is comfortable. I did have to go to a local jewelry store and spend $25 bucks to have the bracelet part adjusted, but it was worth it to me. The profile is not too high where it bumps into doorways or catches; it seems to have a good height.Love it or hate it: No ticking or sound, it is quiet. The reflective arms are not too reflective but slightly.I may do an update after a while or post photos, but so far I really love this watch- it was everything I hoped it would be.

Pins
Sadly I didn’t give this gift until the return window had closed. We have taken it to the jewelers three times to have band redone. The pins repeatedly come out. Still doesn’t hold for long. And now the time stops and then continues. It’s a very nice watch, I’d like to think my experience is unusual.
