Keep time with military precision while adding a unique edge to your wardrobe with the Citizen Eco-Drive Men's Chronograph Canvas Watch. Featuring the clean look and the rugged dependability of a stainless steel case and bezel, this timepiece relies on the unique Citizen Eco-Drive movement system, so you never need to replace its battery. Eco-Drive is an advanced, technical system that uses a thin solar panel under the dial to convert light energy from any source into electrical energy used to run your watch. Also playing a key role in this unique system is a special energy storage cell that greatly increases the efficiency and dependability of using light as a power source. As an added benefit, Eco-Drive power doesn't utilize the harmful chemicals contained in traditional batteries, so it's an excellent environmental choice as well.
The watch features a black dial with easy-to-read Arabic numerals in white, a convenient date window at four o'clock, a slim second tracker on the outer dial, and three subdials that provide chronograph functionality along with the ability to track hours on a 24-hour scale. The dial is further offset with luminescent minute and hour hands and a sweeping red seconds hand. Even the cool canvas band on this watch offers ultra-detailed construction. In addition to featuring a sturdy buckle clasp that relies on steel-reinforced eyelets, the band is backed with leather, which provides added durability and results in a pleasant feel against your wrist. This versatile men's watch is water resistant to 330 feet.*Charging information: Functions of this watch may not work correctly if the watch is not charged, or charged properly.

This is a great watch.
I have received a lot of compliments! Very comfortable and stylish. Extremely versatile - can be used in a casual or dressy setting. Not scratch proof, but doesn't scratch easily either.
Highly recommend!

Just received my Citizen AT0200-05E today and the watch looks better in person. Read lots of reviews about the stock band being short but it wasn't a concern for me as I ordered my watch with the Modena Panerai black band upgrade. The rubber band really dresses up the watch nicely and adds a diving watch quality to it. I've included some pictures with my review with the "wet" look and I think it's a great upgrade to an already awesome watch!

I was curious about eco drive and this looked nice online but after owning many invictas this watch feels and looks very cheap. Chronograph feels and works like crap compaired to the swiss ones in my invictas. Band is very short, case is too small and too light. I wouldnt pay more than 60 bucks for this watch. For the same price they want you can buy this better invicta comparable...which is what I ended up doing.

After owning the Citizen Nighthawk (which I highly recommend) for the past few years and seeing how durable it is, I wanted to get another Citizen Eco-drive watch. The Nighthawk is still running and, despite some minor scratches, is still a fantastic watch.
The AT0200 Canvas is a great addition to my growing watch collection. The canvas strap is casual but if I ever need something fancier, I'll just get a new strap. The only reason why I rate it a four is the display could be a little bigger but I biased towards large watch displays like the Nighthawk.
I definitely recommend this watch for anyone who wants a great looking watch for a great price

I purchased this watch after seeing it mentioned on a web site about "cool tools". I wanted a good, casual, everyday watch and I liked the looks of this one.
The red second hand lends the watch a sporty look and I love the large numbers on the dial. I like the date being at the 4:00 position and the bright lume on the hands as well.
Almost all of the reviews I read on this watch pan the canvas watch band which it comes with, so I ordered a silicone rubber band (also from Amazon) when I ordered the watch. I am glad that I did; I didn't care much for the stock band either.
I have long been a fan of Citizen Eco-Drive watches and I love not having to replace watch batteries every year or so.
I've had it for a week, and I've been really happy with it.

... In Swatch usually crush the button and the hand part, but here is required preparation, you operate a service via dial the crown and then you can start the stopwatch. Useless. Same for the DST-time zone. The system, apparently a genius, a function button that allows you to advance or rewind the hands of sixty minutes with a shot of the crown is affected by the cumbersome preparation, even here we need to work on the face of service unnecessarily complicated. Then there is the radio controlled clock, which, I suppose, affect the final price is relatively high. According to the Citizen, every night between 0300 and 0400 the clock is connected to a radio station in Germany to synchronize with an atomic clock ... nice, pity that it should be ...

... Just before you get married, I received Confirmation. We have not made any party in particular (a little later we celebrated the marriage) and immediately after the service we came home. To my amazement, after a while 'I was near my mother-in-law and a 64-tooth smile, says: "Here, this is a small thought for you, for your confirmation!" I did not expect, to be honest I did not expect anything from anyone and she was the only one to stand out and make me this pleasant surprise. I've never been a materialist, I always liked anything, never pay attention to the brand: a simple sheet of paper that says a sweet thought to me is worth it. Well ... this packet gap fuchsia so well cared for and see a beautiful watch with diamonds! * O * "Citizen Vagary," really a gem suitable for all ...
