   I chose this watch from the Citizen Eco-Drive models I was interested in, and I really like it. It is simple but elegant and sporty in style and I would wear it with anything.

   I was tired of wearing only sportswatches so I broke down to buy a dressier watch. However, I did not know where to start. A colleague told me he had an eco-drive watch, and it was fantastic.

   I checked online for eco-drive watches and found Citizen makes many models. I have never owned a Citizen watch but knew of their reputation of quality. I narrowed the large scope to buy the Corso.

   My only 3 problems with the watch is (1) the band is too large and needs adjustment; (2) the calendar assumes every month has 31 days so the shorter months need more adjusting than the longer months, and (3) the day of the week does not turn until 2am so during late nights the watch does not accurately display the day of the week. These can be over come and are now tolerable.

   I leave it out to bask in the sun and away I go. With sportswatches, I need to change the lithium battery every 3-4 years. This eco-drive watch is supposed to alleviate all that. Only time will tell.

   Right now, I am enjoying this watch. It is simple to use and sleek to wear.

   I wear my watch 24/7. No kidding! My kids and husband think I’m crazy. But I love this watch and as far as I’m concerned, it’s a part of me just like my wedding ring. It’s been eight years since I purchased this watch and have had no problems whatsoever. It’s such a timeless, classic style, and two different jewelers actually asked if it was a Rolex! When I bought it I thought, ‘there’s no way this watch is going to last longer than five years.’ Well, it has! And I even swim in it! I bought my husband the men’s version of this exact watch about five years ago and his is still going strong (and the man is really hard on things, especially jewelry). I’m thinking about buying this watch for my cousin since she got accepted to medical school and I’m very proud. She’ll need a good watch and this is definitely a gift I’ll feel confident about giving.

   Bottom line: no complaints for either the men’s or women’s style, and I would buy both again in a heartbeat!

   This is a nice watch. It is very smooth and flat and fits close to the wrist and is not heavy or bulky and thick. The face color is unassuming but not too dark and easily goes with every type of attire day or night,but it definitely is not a dressy watch. It is great and reliable for everyday,I have had it for a month.It is the same price as at the store.

   My girlfriend wanted an elegant but practical watch that could be worn in formal as well as casual settings. This watch looks great and met that criteria perfectly. She also wanted a no-hassle watch she could rely on. This watch is a high quality Citizen Eco-Drive so it should be dependable and low maintenance.

   The band does scratch pretty easily, which is too bad, but I suppose it’s something to be expected of just about any watch with a metal band.

   The day of the week takes a long time to completely roll over. The date is pretty quick, starts switching around 11:50 p.m. and finishes around 12:30 a.m. But the day of the week doesn’t completely finish switching to the new day until about 4:00 a.m.!

   Also, plan on having to adjust the date at the end of months that have more or less than 31 days in them. A pre-programmed perpetual calendar would be ideal but would surely cost more and would likely require the watch to be larger. And since I like its size as is and prefer to not pay much more for a watch, I won’t complain about that.

   My girlfriend really likes this watch and is very happy with it. It’s a great every-day wearer that looks sharp worn with about anything (except a lot of gold, of course).

   This is a high quality and stylish watch.
