Citizen Calibre 8700

I bought this watch, after much searching, as a wedding present for my husband. I chose this model out of the many available watches because it had a great classic and timeless design, whilst still looking stylish, that I hope will last him a lifetime. On receipt of the watch I was not disappointed - the build quality is fantastic, the strap soft and supple, and the face looks ever better than in the photographs. Although slightly intimidating at first, the watch is very easy to set and operate with a little help from the manual, and it's great fun watching the hands whizz round between the different modes and after it has been kept in the dark for a little while. My husband was so pleased with the watch, he loves the look of it and thinks it has a nice 'manly' build without being too chunky or large, and the solar eco-drive feature was a big winner! Highly recommended.

The watch is stunning. The slightly off-white dial with black sub-dials and the amount of detail which we get off the watch is mind blowing. Its very intricate in its design, but very stylish and it makes an elegant dress watch.

I have been looking to by a watch for some time had have read reviews for all the leading makes. I found very few reviews that knocked Citizen. The Calibre 8700 I chose has the silver surround/white face/ black leather strap. I'm very pleased with everything about it, real quality which could cost a lot more. Buying from First Class Watches was very good, service was excellent and I was kept upto date with all parts of the process from despatch to delivery, which took no time at all.

I already own a Citizen watch and I am extremely impressed by the solar technology. I required a watch with more facilities and this one fulfils all my needs. It is beautifully made and sits perfectly on the arm.It is a good timekeeper which is what one would expect from Citizen. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, particularly the small disc which comes with the manual. I do look forward to the day when Citizen bring out a watch which charges not only from the sun but also from the heat of your arm! Now that would be a watch to have!

I bought this watch as a birthday present for my boyfriend. I am very pleased with it as it has a good quality feel to it - the strap is a nice soft leather and the face is attractive and easy to read. I particularly like the way the strap meets the face in a curved manner with no gaps at the sides. I am a little disappointed with the box which is, in my opinion, a bit of an odd colour, but this is a minor complaint.
