Exceeded my expectations easily!

I've owned this watch for over a month at the time of this review, and it's much better than I'd though it'd be when I ordered it. Let me add some fairly important information that's missing from the product info page; • At full charge (2-3 days exposed to bright sunlight from empty) the watch battery is rated to run for 1.5 years in a drawer (it enters low-power mode automatically in the dark) and for 10 months getting an inadequate charge (under a sleeve). • The black top-ring is ion plated titanium, not paint. • The spring bars are actually mounted fairly close to the case. I was able to fit a leather NATO strap in only with great difficulty causing surface damage to the strap. Nylon NATO straps should not have any problem fitting through. • The atomic radio feature works if the watch is hanging vertically, you don't have to keep it horizontal. I receive a high signal every night with it hanging from a wall hook and I live about 1,600 miles from the Denver radio transmitter. • Eco-Drive type watches are equipped with a special titanium-lithium-ion secondary battery charged by photocells located behind the sub-dials. According to Citizen Europe, laboratory tests showed that after 20 years the secondary battery retains a power storage capacity of 80% of its initial capacity! • The titanium case has gone through Citizen's proprietary hardening process (known as Duratect) which gives it a Mohs hardness of ~7 and a Vickers hardness of ~1100 and is trademarked by them as "Super Titanium". This is important information because while Ti is stronger than stainless steel and half the weight, it is actually less "hard" as far as scratching goes. After their hardening process it becomes significantly more scratch resistant than standard stainless steel. This are good qualities to have as Ti has the additional benefits of being hypo-allergenic (no contact dermatitis) and non-magnetic. For reference, the sapphire window has a Mohs of 9 and a Vickers of ~2200. Keep in mind that scratch resistant does not mean scratch proof and it certainly doesn't mean dent proof. Hit the case hard enough against something solid and you will damage it. I've attached reference pictures comparing the size and finish of the watch to my Citizen Men's BM8180-03E Eco-Drive Analog Japanese Quartz Green Watch. I've also replace the metal bracelet with a EULIT Germany 24mm Black Riveted Cuff Buffalo-Grain Leather Mens Watch Strap.

Lightweight and impressive, solid watch

This is a great watch. I researched several Citizen watches and this was the one for me. I wanted a titanium watch with the Eco-Drive and the radio controlled option. So far it's been great. I was tired of replacing batteries on my other watches so the Eco-Drive was the perfect choice for me. The alarm is loud enough to wake me in the morning and I like how the time is set automatically every night. I have a couple stainless steel watches and this one feels like half the weight. You barely notice that it is on your wrist. I removed a couple links since the watch comes with a few extra, and it now fits great. The only caveat I have is something mentioned in a couple other reviews. The background is more of a brown than a dark grey as shown in the image. It's a subtle difference but it should be mentioned since the current image for the watch does not show the exact color.

From 2 stars TO FIVE!!

So I'm an engineer, and a big hardware hacking geek... and I've been lusting after this svelte titanium beauty for years.. I had it in my wish list and my wife asked what I wanted for Christmas and got it for me! The joy! That is.. until I finally went through all the hoops of configuring the E650 perpetual calendar, flipping through that terrible fold out manual that came with it.. watched the tutorial videos and tried to get it to sync.. no joy.. I love citizen watches, but never had a full perpetual ecodrive before.. and mine was messed up. I had a full charge, but could never manage to navigate through the book and not mess up along the way. I'm an engineer and my watch was off like 10 minutes/day and I was late for meetings. I felt like an idiot! WARNING: If your watch seems to lose (or gain) minutes/day, or will not properly report on the day of the week, then you have a zero-set error and you need to follor this guide (for E650 movement) to do an "ALL RESET AND 0-POSITION PROCEDURE": www.citizenwatch-global(dot)com/support/pdf-guide/e650/e.pdf The Light at the End of the tunnel has a name... it's Sharon! Amazon support gave me the 800# for Citizen 800-321-1023 so I called and was lucky enough to get Sharon.. in a word, she was AMAZING.. From memory she walked me through the whole E650 zero-set and set up (and she's says she knows like eight different movements MEMORIZED!!). She was patient and knew exactly what my watch was doing as she stepped me every single of the 30 or more steps for the very detailed zero-set and perpetual setup. It's awesome! My watch finally works! I love it! I'm no longer late for anything!.. and don't shy away when some millenial asks me what time it is because their phone is dead. :) I told Sharon she should make a cheat sheet with all she knows.. and she pointed me to the super abbreviated instructions on line! Go to citizenwatch(dot)com/us/en/setting-instructions.html , enter your "Movement Caliber#" (e.g. E650 for this watch) and download the "Abbreviated PDF" one page guide. Pure awesome. (though you may need a magnifier glass to read it ;) THAAANK YOOOUUU SAAAARRROOONNNN!!!! YES! I just printed a copy! Why doesn't Citizen include a laminated wallet version of this PDF with every watch! I would carry a pocket magnifier just to be able to reference it. :) Someone at Citizen should give Sharon a big raise! :) Thomas Weeks

Fantastic Watch, with scratch-proof face, and very lightweight Titanium.

This is my fourth eco-drive Citizen watch, and certainly now my favorite! First, it looks absolutely beautiful. Very clean style, with just enough pizaaz to draw your eye, but not so much bling to make others think you are trying too hard... The watch face is a tad busy, but in a good way. the dark face background helps to keep the hands more readily distinguishable. The second hand actually moves with time (something that one of my other Citizens does not do, as it stayed put on the noon-hour). The watch came out of the box 3/4 charged (as there is a power meter feature) and set to the correct time (thank you atomic clock feature). The hands have a medium amount of glow to them. I am contrasting this to my other Citizen watches, with the NightHawk on the absolute low (and useless) end of the spectrum, and my B620-R005774 on the high end. The only thing keeping these hands from scoring higher marks on illumination, is that fact that the hands are narrower than some of the other watch offerings, and there simply is not enough surface area to paint more glowing stuff on it. -At 4am in a dark room I can still make out the time, but it can take some squinting if I wasn't in any direct sunlight that day. The watch is around half of the weight as my other three watches, as the Titanium is amazingly light weight. I will note, however, that titanium DOES SCRATCH fairly easily. I also have a titanium wedding ring, and this is just a fact of life for titanium. I have only had the watch for a week, and some scratches are already visible on the lower band area where my arm rests on tables, etc. (see attached photo). The Saphire face/crystal is glorius, and so far un-scratchable. This is a huge deal, as I always scratch my watches due to being active (and a clutz). My brother has a 2.5 year old applewatch with the upgraded saphire face, and it also is completely scratch free to date. Would I purchase again? Absolutely! Fantastic watch!

Perhaps the perfect watch

Citizen Eco-Drive Men's AT4010-50E Titanium Perpetual Chrono A-T Watch I was lucky to be able to pick this up new for a great price on Amazon. I have the stainless steel version and absolutely loved it. I also have another citizen eco drive that is titanium and really liked how light it felt. I was highly interested in getting this version in titanium because of the how much lighter it was versus the stainless steel version. I must say that I am impressed. It is significantly lighter yet still feels very sturdy. The stainless version uses red highlights on the face and around the pushers while this titanium version uses blue highlights. I like both colors and enjoy that they are different. My favorite features of both versions are: 1- Sapphire glass. I am rough on my watches and have scratched mineral crystals very quickly. These sapphire crystals have held up well and show no signs of scratching 2- Atomic timekeeping. I never worry about setting the time or being concerned with whether the date is correct. The watch connects each night and adjusts to the exact time every time. 3- Eco-drive quartz movement. Normally I prefer automatic watches to quartz movements. However, this watch charges with light and never needs a battery. Coupled with the atomic time keeping feature, this does make this a truly worry-free watch. 4- Easy adjustment of time zones. It is simple to adjust to a different time zone when traveling. I love making the adjustment and then watching the hands rotate around to the correct time. 5- Both are beautiful. I love the three sub dials, the slight color accents, the color and texture of the face as the silver color of the case and band. It really is an attractive watch that feels at home in both a rugged environment as well as in a business suit in my opinion

Elegant Engineering - Simple Beauty

I've been using this watch for over a month now. Overall, I love the watch and I find it a great buy at this price range. I think there is very little doubt in regards to the awesome engineering of this watch. Everything from the radio-controlled atomic time keeping, to perpetual calendar, to support for different time zone, to support for solar charging are just brilliant masterpiece of engineering. You can't help but admire the sheer brilliance of it. The engineering itself is worth the buy. But there is more to it. I really like the way the watch weighs in my wrist because of the Titanium. It is so light. It just doesn't feel like a chore to wear it everyday. I've been wearing this thing all day almost everyday now and you don't realize that it is there. Then, you want to take a look at the time and then you realize how beautiful and elegant it looks. It is just simple but complex at the same time. The contrast of the hands with the carbon-fiber like dark background and the blue nodes really seem perfect to me. It can stand out as an classy dress watch or a fun cool watch. I can see myself wearing it for every occasions since it blends in nicely with any outfits. Men love their toys and this is one awesome toy to have in your locker. I would say it's a great buy if you can afford it.

Terrific timepiece and I highly recommend!

This watch is terrific! Light on the wrist. Striking in appearance and flawless in function. The ECO Drive solar charging is remarkable as is the reserve power capacity. Once fully charged the power indicator does not move from full charge indication and with daily wear. Sun light charges initially faster than indoor ambient and artificial light, but with my use primarily indoors after intial full charge, I still see full capacity in reserve power which can run the watch for months in complete darkness. The time sync works very well in most locations. I typically see medium reception at home and when traveling I have seen low and missed sync rarely. Manual sync from a location near a window has always worked when a sync was missed. Overall this is a terrific watch and I highly recommend!

Great do anything watch.

I've got a variety of watches ranging from Rolex to Grand Seiko to Orient. For some time I've been compelled to buy a technologically advanced watch but had spent all my time researching G-Shocks. I could not warm up to their resin construction and huge size. I'm not sure why I never stumbled upon a Citizen Eco Drive before, but really glad I came across this. When I saw it was radio controlled, solar powered, titanium, good looking AND only 42mm, I was sold. Most of these satellite/radio controlled watches tend to be much bigger, not looking like a 'normal' watch. The watch arrived with no power, so I let it set in the sunlight for 3 hours and the solar capacitor charged half-way, which could be as much as 3 months of use without additional charging. I was trying to force a radio sync downstairs, but it was not working... low signal. I took the watch to the top floor in my house, set it on a window sill, hit the force sync button and 6 minutes later my watch is telling atomic time. If I understand things correctly, I'll never have to set it again... it will adjust itself for DST, for leap years and when hopping past less than 31 day months. I've been doing lots of research on Eco Drives... some people say they are only good for 10 years but there are plenty of examples of watches still in service running over 20 years without ever being serviced and no need for a battery and still going strong. Unbelievable. I also learned this of proprietary Super Titanium made exclusively by Citizen that is 5-times stronger and 40% lighter than steel. All in all a great watch at a great price. Now what am I gonna do with all my other watches?

This Citizen watch is a perfect everyday watch for me because I can always rely ...

I've had high end Omega watches, low end Tissot, and all the cheaper entry level watches. This Citizen watch is a perfect everyday watch for me because I can always rely on the time being correct and I do not need to worry about battery replacement. My fancy Omega had to be wound otherwise the time would be wrong and I'd have to set it... not an issue with this citizen since it's battery powered and always running. The date on my Omega needed to be adjusted every other month... kind of strange to think about since it's a watch that literally costs $thousands can't get the date perfectly yet this Citizen that costs $400 is pinpoint accurate. The only bad things are: It's kind of a pain to learn. The controls aren't really intuitive and you need the manual to set it properly. Also, it won't impress any gold diggers so if you want a watch like a Rolex/Omega to impress a gold digger, this Citizen isn't the watch for you. I thankfully grew up a bit and don't care to impress women in that gaudy way anymore so this Citizen is perfect for me.

Good First Impression

I just received Citizen AT4010-50E Eco Drive Titanium watch. This is my third Citizen Eco Drive watch. My watch collection includes Tag Heuer, Raymond Weil, Seiko, Casio G-Shock, and Luminox. I stay away from Invicta (I have a friend who is a jeweler for the last 30 plus years and he tells me that they are junk and stay away from them, even their so called Swiss made watches). My usual EDC are the Citizen and Casio G-Shock watches because they are light weight and fairly inexpensive if I bang them up or break them. I saw this watch and liked the features on it. It had most of the things I wanted like the radio controlled atomic watch, Eco Drive (solar) system, and of course the sapphire crystal. I was debating between this and a comparable Seiko with the same features minus the sapphire crystal. I went with the citizen. I went with the Titanium because I wanted a more grey, dull look to it (I have too many shiny, stainless steel watches). This is my first titanium watch. When I received it, my first impression on the watch was that it’s a pretty nice looking watch (better looking in person than in a picture, as always). It was also set to the correct time, date, time zone, ect. (except for the DST was off). The battery was also low, most likely from being stored in the box without any light source (second hand was moving every 2 seconds and the power indicator pointed to low). I removed some of the links to size the band and charged it up under a lamp for several hours. Initially it was indicating that it had no radio signal. After a while it found a signal and I was able to manually sync it with the atomic clock. Using the features is somewhat quirky (like using the chronograph takes several steps before you can actually use it, unlike other watches where you just push the start and stop without going through extra steps). The watch is very light, in terms or weight. I hardly notice that I have it on and it is very comfortable for a metal band. Though the titanium band looks decent like any other metal band when you look at it, it feels somewhat cheap because of the light weight, almost like cheap base metal (I guess that’s just the titanium). The paperwork states that the watch is made in Japan (though the band is stamped “Base Titanium Made in China”). I ordered some NATO style nylon bands to change up the band style every now and then (more of a casual look than dressy). Overall, I’m impressed with the watch even though I just got it. It has almost every feature you want in a watch, even though most of us will probably never use most of them anyway. I guess time will tell if it last.
