solar watches?

[nosilence]

does anyone have one of those citizen eco drive watches or a similar solar watch? do they keep good time? which brand?

Indeed they are well regarded as accurate timekeepers.

Below is a link to a good deal on what sounds like a lightly used item.

I have a black dial Citizen Mission Antarctica on a titanium bracelet. It keeps great time.

I've got a 5yo eco-drive titanium that keeps very good time.

excellent watch, eco drive titanium, with kevlar band, got mine from japan, as far as I know they don't sell them here, could be wrong though...

My Citizen Skyhawk Titanium Eco-Drive gains almost exactly four seconds per year. I expected accuracy, but that is still amazing.

I have a Citizen Eco Drive perpetual calendar and I am very happy with and is very acurate! You won't be sorry if you get one! Hope this helps.

My wife and I have the eco drive's. I have 1 and my wife has 2. Only had charging problems on my wife's 1st one (I think we may have gotten a bad one). But no probs on the others.

I have a Citizen eco-drive "Mission Antarctica" and love it. Not only is it great never having to worry about batteries, but the luminosity is one of the best I've seen in a watch. ( short of a luminox )

You can't go wrong with an Eco-drive in my opinion!

I have a G-shock waveceptor/toughsolar. Had it a couple of weeks...it keeps perfect time because it sync's up with the NIST atomic clock in CO. No problems with it charging and it only cost me $55 at Sam's club.

Narco,

Yeah, great G-Shock — but that crummy band! Let me know if you figure out a way to replace it (it has the antenna in part of it, I think.)
