Great Watch!
This is an amazing watch. I guess you won't be disappointed. I have owned this for about a week now and I just love it.
Even though I've a thin wrist I still like it. It fits nicely. I tried this first at a local Macy's store (actually I bought from [...]) before ordering online.
I guess the only possible 'con' of this watch is how to replace the battery/cell if there ever is a need? I think it will be kind of a 'destructive replacing' since there is a leather strap below the dial which makes kind of impossible to open the dial from beneath. But then there are so many Fossil watches like this and hopefully the cell will last for some 7-8 years I guess.

Review of Eco-Drive Gold Tone Watch
Citizen Eco-Drive Men's Gold-Tone Leather Watch #BM8002-01P
The idea of a watch that never need a battery was appealing and environmentally correct. This watch was easy to set just be sure to read the instructions first and don't set it between 9 PM and 4 AM. The case is nicely finished the face is not quite as bright as pictured and so the watch has a more refined and elegant look. The band is listed as a mens but it is slightly smaller than a standard size watch band. My wrist is not large and the band is skimpy. I will probably buy another band sometime. If you have a larger wrist you will need to purchase another band for this watch. Overall it is an attractive low maintenance watch at a competitive price. Great for travel as I never have to worry about the battery dying. A great fashion accessory for dressy casual wear.

Smart looking watch
Great watch especially for casual wear. My only complaint is the band is too big for my wrist. Most watch manufacturers must use NFL linemen to size their bands....OK I have skinny wrists but they're not that small!

Beautiful
I got this watch for my husband's birthday and he loves it. It looks great with his everyday outfits but it is beautiful and well-crafted enough to go with formal clothing as well.

Affordable Elegance
This watch looks classier and more elegant in person than in the current picture provided. The numeral indicators (lines) are barely noticeable under normal lighting making this Seiko look similar to the more expensive Movado watch ( all black face ). Thin and comfortable on the wrist with a good quality leather band.
This is my third Seiko watch the other two both different models are still running great.

Functional and Elegant
I've always liked the quality of Citizen watches but never owned an Eco-Drive before this one. I've had it for a few months now and it's worked flawlessly. It is stylish enough that I can wear it with something dressy but also simple enough to be worn with casual attire. The Eco-Drive functionality has worked great. I was a little worried since I spend so much time indoors that it might not get enough light to keeping ticking. But even though I don't expose it to very much sunlight indoor lighting has kept it going without missing a beat.
The inner ends of the leather band are winged with metal tips (the silver portions in the picture). When it comes time to replace the band I'm not sure if it will be possible to either remove the metal clips and put them on the new band or buy a new band with the exact same style.

Handsome watch
I bought this watch as a birthday gift for my dad and he really likes it. The style is classic and works well as a casual/dress watch that is a little bit unique. One of the features he liked were that it had all twelve Roman numerals which makes it easier to tell the time with a quick glance especially since his eyesight isn't what it used to be. The watch face is a nice size larger than some of the small dress watches but smaller and less bulky than the sports watches. The brown leather band is sturdy without being too thick and bulky and it has a tortoise shell-type pattern so it has some style to it. There is a second hand in the round inset but it doesn't have the date and a lot of the other insets other watches have which clutter up the face and require you to adjust the watch for the correct date at the end of the month. What we liked most about it is the unique shape and the lines on the face. All in all it's a handsome watch with Seiko quality.

Love it!
I bought this watch as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it. I warn you: This is not a watch for someone with a small wrist though because the face of the watch is HUGE! (My husband is about 6'4" / 240 pounds). So if your looking for an impressive watch this is it!

Stylish sporty and elegant
I own this watch my first seiko.
This watch has a combination of classic(classy leather strap) and sporty design(Sexy black dial). Looks good with dresses and casuals alike.
I got this watch after looking for this combination for a lot of time. I m happy that I got this one much cheaper than I expected to pay for a watch like this.
Somehow it looks much better on my wrist than my friends who is fairer.
Hope you will like it too.
Just an update after more than an year of usage! No scratches on the watch the leather strap as good as new and I wear it everyday! This must say something about the quality!
