Men have grown from being merciless, savage hunters to compassionate, civilized human beings. This transition has happened over the years, but the change is what has brought about a love for mother earth. Harnessing this love for our ecology, Citizen has brought out its Eco-Drive series of watches that bring about an awareness of the damage that has been done to the earth. The Citizen Eco-Drive Analog Watch is a classic piece from this series that stands as an example of how all things we use in our daily lives can be eco-friendly. Designed for formal occasions, with this watch, you can spread the green word even in your office space.
Body and Design
Being eco-friendly does not prevent this watch from sporting the best of designs. A round dial that has been incorporated into this watch gives the timepiece a classic touch while what is within the dial is nothing but attractive. Enclosed in a Titanium case, this dial is kept safe from any harm.
A Sapphire crystal glass protects the delicate parts that make up the dial face while a screw case back keeps the mechanism that runs the watch intact. To help you strap this watch on with ease, Citizen has made use of stainless steel straps that are coloured an attractive silver. These straps are held together, resting the dial comfortably on your wrist, by a push button clasp.
Functions and Other Features
A watch that is attractive, but sports no special features in of no practical use to any man. With this understanding, Citizen has incorporated into this watch a water resisting ability. With a capacity to withstand up to 100 m of water, this watch allows you to go ahead with your schedule, without being a worry. A date display window that has been placed at the 3 o'clock position, along with the day display window that has been placed at the 6 o'clock position serves as a constant reminder of what the day or date is.
The battery that powers this watch can be recharged by any light source, allowing it to function consistently. Packed with a power reserve function that saves charge and an overcharge prevention function that stops the charging when the battery is full, this watch is almost unrealistic. To top it all, the timepiece has been imbibed with a low charge indicator that lets you know that the watch has to be exposed to a light source.

I bought this watch around a month back from Flipkart and using it since. Flipkart offered the lowest price on this model. It was a limited period offer and I grabbed it with both hands. Flipkart was quick to ship the product but their Courier service has often let them down. I receive a message stating that the product will be delivered today. And after a couple of hours, the status on Flipkart states "Unable to deliver as customer not available". Quite lame excuse for no...
