What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Citizen Eco-Drive One

The Citizen Caliber A060 is widely praised for its exceptional accuracy, with most owners reporting it runs within or very close to the advertised ±5 seconds per year, though some note slight deviations. Reviewers and owners highlight the scratch-resistant, gold-hued titanium case and the unique washi paper dial with gold leaf as standout aesthetic features, contributing to its wearability and perceived value. The Eco-Drive movement's perpetual calendar and long power reserve are also frequently cited strengths, with a decorated 23-jewel caliber noted as a surprise for a quartz movement. One owner experienced issues requiring repair in Japan after the watch was not kept charged, and some owners express concern about the rechargeable battery as a potential failure point. Overall, owners and reviewers rate The Citizen Caliber A060 highly for its blend of high-end finishing, impressive accuracy, and innovative solar technology.
