Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch #BL8000-03A
Author: Jessica
Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch #BL8000-03A More than just pretty face, the Citizen Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 stainless steel men’s watch also has a perpetual calendar that automatically adjusts for odd and even months and leap years through 2100. It features a perfectly round silver-tone stainless steel watch case and bezel that’s complemented by a supple black leather strap with crocodile-like texturing.
The silvery white dial background is accented by day-of-the-week and 24-hour subdials, as well as a mode subdial that displays the selected function (local time, calendar, alarm). It also offers luminous, black-outlined hands (with seconds hand), a date function at 4 o’clock, and Roman numeral dial markers. Other features includes a dual-time function for tracking a second time zone, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet).
This watch is powered by Citizen’s unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. This watch’s Eco-Drive provides a 180-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just 4 hours of exposure to light.
Customer Review: Fantastic Watch!
Citizen Men’s Eco-Drive Calibre 8700 Watch #BL8000-03A
This is a light-weight, attractive watch. The numerous functions are easy to understand with the well-written manual. The band appears to be of extremely high quality leather and the watch appears to come with a very good warranty.
Customer Review: Amazing watch – uncomfortable clasp (leather bracelet model)
First, about the watch: I absolutely love it. Nothing bad to say at all, except maybe if you frequently need to set the alarm, it can become somewhat annoying. When setting the alarm, the hands don’t just move directly to the hour and minute of the alarm time, but go round and round counting out the minutes and hours. Also, if you don’t care what time the alarm was previously set to but just want to change it, you still have to wait until it gets to the previously set alarm time before it will let you adjust it. Since I plan to use the alarm infrequently, it’s no big deal and kinda fun to watch.
Now, to the strap: I bought this watch with a leather strap to keep the watch as light and comfortable as possible. The strap is beautifully made of rich patterned leather, and it’s definitely much lighter than the steel bracelet. However, the deployment clasp on the strap was not well thought-out. There are sharp corners everywhere: two on each end of the clasp, and also on the release buttons in the middle. In addition, the ends of the clasp turn up sharply, which means at least one side is likely to cut into your wrist all the time. This is particularly problematic when your wrist is resting on a surface and the weight of the arm rests on the sharp points. (Others with different diameter wrists may have a different experience).
The solution: I closed one side of the clasp at a time and put that side only into a vise (after wrapping it in thick paper to avoid scratches). By slowly tightening the vise, I was able to take most of the curve out of the clasp. The entire process took maybe 5 minutes. The clasp is immeasurably more comfortable now, and I’m finally 100% satisfied with the watch. Thought I’d share this strategy with anyone who might run into the same problem!
