Product Description

Online Exclusive! This Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Sport is the epitome of versatility, making it perfect for any occasion. This is a 3-hand model with luminous hour and minute hands, a day-date indicator, and a clean white dial set in a stainless steel two-tone 27mm case and bracelet. Model # BM8434-58A

Two-tone stainless steel brings a modern touch of class to the classic lines of the Citizen Men's Eco-Drive Sport Watch #BM8434-58A. It spots a crisp white dial with polished, gold-tone markers and hands to match the bezel and two-tone bracelet. A day and date calendar sits at three o'clock, and subtle black indices help keep you up-to-the-second. A fold-over clasp keeps the watch secure. As an Eco-Drive, this sports watch is powered by light--both natural and artificial--offering continuous functionality without a battery. It is water resistant to 333 feet.

WE LOVE our three Citizen Watches!
Greetings, All,A few years ago, I inherited a fine Citizen Eco-Drive watch from my Father-in-law, upon his sad passing, and I cherish that watch. In the years that I've used it, I have become enamored by the charging mechanism of these ingenious time keepers. Being charged by exposure to the light, ANY light, is a novel, and excellent way to keep this watch doing what it does best, which is to keep excellent time!! Easy to use, super reliable, and free of batteries to change, or winding, the Eco-Drive Citizens have earned our trust, and dare I say it, our love!I recently decided to buy two more Citizen watches, and looked to Amazon to see what both my wife, and I would enjoy wearing. As Dad's watch was in gold, I decided upon a two-tone setup of both silver, and gold, and it looks fantastic! My wonderful wife loves that look, too, so we shopped, and bought two new Citizens, which look very much alike!The watches were shipped by Amazon Fullfillment very quickly, and using Amazon Prime, were scheduled for a two-day delivery. My wife's watch showed up on time, but whatever company was hired to make the final delivery, was exceedingly bad!! Rather than come up the stairs to the front door, and deliver the watch there, as everyone else does, this driver just tossed it into the Ivy which grows underneath that outside staircase!! No Notice given, nothing...... Had I not found it, accidentally, the next day, it could have laid in the Ivy for a very long time!! Fast forward to my own watch, and it, too, started out perfectly. But, as before, once it reached the company hired to make delivery, everything went to hell!! The driver, very possibly the same one who tossed the first watch into our Ivy, decided that, despite a nice sign which states, "Bring all Deliveries Upstairs, Please", he would lob the package over the chain and that sign, and onto a downstairs stoop!! Had I not been down in the basement, working, I would not have even known that the package in which my watch was delivered had been unceremoniously dumped on the basement porch!! Luckily, I did hear it THUMP when it hit the decking, so I went upstairs, just in time to see the delivery van drive away. Once again, NO notice that it had been delivered, and once again, this watch was left in a place where there is really NO access to the house!!! Tossing one watch into the Ivy, and lobbing the second one onto our downstairs basement porch, is simply unacceptable!!In the end, we LOVE our Citizen watches, and the models we bought from Amazon will work wonderfully for both my wife and I. Whilst I can whole-heartedly endorse and recommend the excellent Citizen Eco-drive watches to anyone who seeks a good looking, reliable, easy set and wear watch, I CANNOT recommend the final delivery company that Amazon used to get our watches delivered!! All that, makes me think twice about whether Amazon Prime is really of any benefit to us. If all the final delivery companies for Amazon, out this way, are like the one we've had (TWICE!), then we'll go back to just paying for shipping, and getting our Amazon packages through our Post Office, which has been far less aggravation and super reliable. So, in a nutshell: Amazon = excellent! Citizen Eco-Drive watches = triple excellent!!! The final delivery company = F minus!! Thanks for reading, and God Bless!Every Good Wish,Doc Mark
