The beautiful Citizen Men's BM8180-03E "Eco-Drive" Canvas Strap Watch
A watch
is a device which is used by everybody on a daily basis. It is more convenient
for everyone to have a look at the time anytime with a watch than any other
electronic devices. But one of the problems with the watches is that they
require frequent battery changes. In spite of the only disadvantage, it is very
helpful to use a watch because it helps one showing the time and the date at
any instant. But as a watch is something which everybody will be able to see,
it is very necessary to balance between style and requirement. For this purpose
it will be a good decision to choose CitizenMen's BM8180-03E "Eco-Drive" Canvas Strap Watch due to a number
of features.
A glimpse of the features offered by the watch
The
clock has an analog display which is very helpful for many other users as they
can be visible on an over bright day which can be very difficult to see the
same from a watch with digital display. The dial of the watch is round and has 37
millimeters of case diameter which makes it convenient to see the time without
extra pressure on the eyes. The watch comes with an 18 millimeter band width
which is enough for the majority of users. The watch also comes in a very
affordable price range of almost $100 which is less enough compared to the
features of this wonderful watch.
Pros
The
watch has the capability to display time as well as the date and day at the
same time on a large dial. As the case material is made from stainless steel,
it is hard enough and becomes more durable. With a waterproof setup one will
not have to worry about sweat which can damage the watch. The watch has an easy
option to change the date and time separately by pulling the adjusting crown
outside twice from its normal position. When is pulled out for the first time,
it helps is adjusting the day and date. On pulling it second time, it adjusts
the time. The watch will stop running once the crown is pulled from the initial
position, which can be started again by pushing the crown to its original
position.
The
watch has a solar cell as a secondary power source which helps in storing the
sunlight in the form of electrical charge, thus helps in increasing the battery
life. This feature is very effective when the user go out during the day time. The
watch also has some visual tricks which makes it easy to have a look at the
time anytime. With the black background of the dial and the luminance of the calibrations
as well as the hands, it helps displaying the time even in acute darkness.
Other small and decent designs include tick marks at above the dial which can
help show the corresponding minute, though it is not necessary for a number of users,
but still it looks good.
The watch also has an over charge function
which stops charging the battery when it is exposed to sunlight for a long
period of time. With quick start functionality, the watch starts functioning
after it stops due to less charge as soon as it is exposed to sunlight. The
watch has leather lining sturdy canvas strap which makes the belt run long and
it provides comfort while wearing the watch even for a long period of time.
Cons
Though one
will be impressed with the features of the watch, but if it had a few
modifications, then the watch could have been an eye-catcher. The watch comes
with a black dial which makes it look like a cheap piece of device. The strap
could have been a little bit smoother, which could have made the watch more
comfortable to me. These are the only two disadvantages one can feel while
using the watch. But these two reasons are not enough to ignore this beautiful
piece of watch and the disadvantages are nothing compared to the advantages it
has got.
Final verdict
I will
give this watch a five star due to its unique features. I have used a number of
watches previously by various brands, but none of them could provide these
unique features at the mentioned reasonable price. The watch maintains a
perfect balance between affordability, fashion, comfort and importance. The
watch is also eco friendly as it uses solar power to operate which is a
non-conventional source of energy and thus it make the battery last as long as
twenty years according to the Citizen engineers. Thus I will obviously
recommend this watch because of its robustness and easily available
functionalities. Want more? Click here to see moredetails about this watch!
