Anyone have this watch or have a Citizen Eco Drive watch? How do you like it? Should I try and find this in an actual store first to try it on or do the bands usually fit most wrists? Haven't worn a watch in years but want to wear one again, so that is why I'm wondering about the band size. Thanks.

i think it is a nice watch and i am picky with watches! and the price is right
don't listen to ppl that say not to buy expensive watches. I love watches and a good time piece can last you YEARS, look good, get attention, etc. You get what you pay for. Especialy at that price it is only a lil more than the most expensive crappy fossils.

I just got an Eco drive for christmas and I love it, my first Citizen watch is 17yrs old and still going strong. Great watches!

Most all mens watches come with and 8.5inch band (big), you will need to take it somewhere to have somes links taken out if you can,t or don't want to do it yourself

I agree that expensive watches are a waste, but a $200 watch is not expensive.

I know a wealthy fellow who just bought a special edition titanium rolex with tons of diamonds and a MOP face for $60,000 :Q:Q:Q:Q Thats an expensive watch

Well it all depends on your situation. If you are already independant and debt free, I say go for it. I am not much of a watch person but that looks like a pretty cool watch If you want a watch that really attracts the females, check this baby out: Link

You do know that the $200+ watches don't really scratch or crack, so they last longer right?
