Citizen Women’s EG2344-51A Eco-Drive Silhouette Two-Tone Watch

Add a classic look to any ensemble with the two-tone Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette stainless steel women’s watch, which is highlighted by a beautifully lustrous white dial background with horizontal patterning for added texture. Measuring approximately 0.6 inches wide, this slender timepiece offers a decidedly feminine profile. It features a highly polished silver watch case as well as tiny, silver Dauphine hands and thin stick dial markers. It’s further accented by a gold outlined bezel. The stainless steel bracelet band shines with its intermingled silver and gold-tone polished links. Other features include a push-button jewelry clasp, water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet), and a scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating.

This watch is powered by Citizen’s unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. This watch’s Eco-Drive provides a 240-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just 3 hours of exposure to light.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Second Eco Drive Purchase
This is the second Eco Drive watch I have purchased. I’ve had my first watch for about three years now and it hasn’t lost a minute’s time since I first put it on. I found it to be very durable and it has stood up well to brief submersions in water. I have been so pleased with it that I decided to get another one in a different style.

I just received this particular watch and it is much prettier than in the product photo. It is a bit more narrow than most everyday watches which gives it a very dainty, bracelet-like appearance. The band length is generous and may need to be resized if you have a smaller wrist.

Although it is a two-toned watch, the silver color stands out much more than the gold tone. I would classify the overall appearance of the watch as a little on the dressier side of an everyday watch that would also work well as a dress watch too. It does feel weighty for the small size which makes it slide on the arm like a bracelet. My only wish would be for a second hand, but I’m not sure any of the eco drive watches have one.

2 Stars Eco Drive Watch
The face on the watch was much too small. It looked like a child’s watch to me. Be sure to pay attention to the size, especially if your eyes are aging. Otherwise very pretty piece of jewlery. My experience with returning it was very pleasant.

5 Stars Lovely feminine watch
I ordered this watch as a gift for a friend. I previously purchased (and reviewed) a different Citizen Eco-Drive watch, and based on my good experience with that item, I purchased this one.

The watch is heavy for its size, which suggests a solid quality. The watch is quite a bit smaller than I expected, but not “dainty” small. However, it is definitely a feminine sized watch.

There is no date or day display, and no second hand.

The water resistance rating is resistant only, meaning not suitable for submersion (nor for bathing, swimming, or showering), only for the occasional splash. This is consistently incorrect in the information panel.

While it is 2-toned (silver and gold tones) the silver is definitely predominant, and the gold serves as an accent tone. Neither metal is pure.

It is an attractive and feminine watch, well made and durable. I would classify it as business casual up to moderately dressy.

5 Stars Ultimately the Ideal Time Piece
Being on time is where I have always wanted to be. I adore my Citizen Eco Drive watch. I just made the purchase recently, and when I rec’d it, I set the time and no fuss and it keeps perfect time. No more checking the cell phone for time when there are no clocks, and most of all no more batteries. I am the owner of 6 watches with dead batteries. I give it a five star rating. I did have to have a couple links removed, but that has been for all watches I have owned.

I certainly recommend it for purchase. Matter of fact, I plan to buy another this fall.

5 Stars Beautiful and feminine
My husband surprised me with this watch for my birthday, and I absolutely love it! I have very slender wrists, and it’s difficult to find watches that can even be sized down to fit me — not a problem with this watch, however. It is not too large or over-powering looking on my wrist, and I’ve gotten several compliments on it. I love the “solid” yet not-too-heavy feel of the watch, and I’m looking forward to years of use from it.
