Rugged but beautiful
I was after a rugged watch and I'm so glad I bought this.

Sweet for the price
Great watch. Seems well made. Actually feels like you get value for money. Time will tell if it stands up to everyday wear and tear.

Strap too short
Despite being advertised in the watches for men section the strap length is only for children, apart from that a good watch, a real shame.

The perfect field watch.
Like the Citizen eco drive I already had for years it's good to know I've got at least 10 years with no battery hassles, it's a great looking field watch too and you can feel the quality of it. For its price point this watch is in a league of it's own.

Stylish, reliable and accurate watch.
I bought this watch 6 months ago in November 2025. It is one of the best purchases I have made. It is very well made, very comfortable, has a clear, simple design and is very easy to read. So far, it has been stunningly accurate and trouble free. Before I purchased, I read negative comments about the day & date setting causing some customers problems, as the days are shown in French and English. If you download the Instruction booklet from the Citizen website and follow the instructions, setting date and day is very straightforward and simple. I love the fact that there are no batteries to replace. Just leave it on a sunny windowcill for a couple of hours and you are good for several months. I whole-heartedly recommend this watch, and I bought it myself with my own money. I have not been paid for this review!

Really good timekeeper but junk the strap.
Bought as a workaday quartz watch as fed up with owning far more expensive mechanical watches that are now costing silly money for servicing. Not disappointed, with accuracy, far exceeding my others. As it's an Eco-drive, no batteries and no winding, so a winner straight off. Be aware, this is a small face at 38mm so might look lost on a big wrist. Legibility is excellent and luminosity is very good. All in all, a very good value watch. Downsides? The strap. It might give the military look but it is very inflexible and wide hole spacing makes a good fit difficult. Buy a different strap. They're not expensive.

On my eco drive watch it says it can last up to 6 months in the dark after a full charge
Hope this helps
I dont think the reply from Argos and or their supplier really answers the question.
No, you will absolutely not have to reset the watch in the morning with normal use, unless there is something very wrong!
I have had mine for well over a decade, and the charge of the internal battery from daytime light from normal use reaching it has had no problem in balancing out periods of darkness, including periods of several days in a drawer. I have never had to do any sort of battery-related reset!
Hello Nn,
The supplier has advised the following for the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Analogue Green Canvas Strap Watch:
"I can confirm that our Eco-drive watches do not require re-setting in the morning if they are not exposed to light, provided they are set correctly.
Please note that our Eco-Drive watches are run by direct light. When the watch is losing time, has stopped, or if the second hand of the watch is double ticking, it is a good indication that the watch is low on charge. To perform a full back up charge, pull the crown out 2 x clicks and leave in direct light for 4 - 5 days. We would advise performing this full back-up every 8-12 months."
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi Dave
All of the instructions on how to set the month and date on the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Analogue Green Canvas Strap Watch, are just underneath the details of the product on the first PDF file, you will find all the information you need on this.
Hope this helps
Thanks for using Q&A
Hello, to alter the time and date you need to pull out the knob on the right side of the watch. Turning the knob towards you alters the date. Turn away from you to set the month. Keep turning away from you to get the English month. Beware not to pull it out twice as this sets the time. One click out to set the date and month, two clicks out to change the time. This needs to be changed at the end of each month as it does not automatically change. I hope this helps.
Use the winder to pull it out 1 stop only 2 will allow change of minutes / hours. Movement 1 way changes date, movement the other changes the day. Hope this helps. Still loving my watch 2 years on.
