(IMPORTANT!!!)
My father had this for quite a few years, that's why it does not look brand spanken new in the above photographs!!!

This product does not emit light of its own, so the standard review format will not be used and the product will not be assigned a rating.


This is a Citizen Eco-Drive analogue wristwatch with a quartz movement.
It has a circular face, ticking (not sweep) second hand, plus day & date indicator where the "3" would normally be on the watch face.

My stepmother gave this watch to me on 07-01-11 when my father (who had owned this watch) left this mortal coil earlier in the day.

To use this watch, just set the time (see directly below), and THEN you can go time those eggs on the stove.


To set this watch, pull the crown (the little knob thing) on the right side of the watch's body out until it "clicks" two times, and rotate it until the hands indicate the correct time. Then push it back in one "click".

Rotate the crown some more to set the date. I do not yet know how it distinguishes between "midnight" and "noon" as far as to when it increments the date, so please do not ask.

When finished, press it all the way in until it stops.





This watch charges its internal battery with solar radiation via the cleverly-concealed solar panel built into its face, so I do not have to tell you which part to remove, chuck down the stairs into the basement crawling with hundreds (or even thousands) of hungry piss ants with full bladders and then rather emphatically tell you not to.





Photograph of the watch in its natural habitat -- on my wrist of course.

TEST NOTES:
Unit was given to me by my stepmother following my father's demise on 07-01-11; he had it prior to that since at least the mid-1990s.
