Since the launch of the first model in 2012, CITIZEN Eco-Drive Bluetooth, with its beautifully crafted design, has captured a unique position in the market for smart watches. One outstanding reason is CITIZEN’s proprietary light-powered technology called Eco-Drive. This revolutionary technology frees wearers from the worry of having to replace the watch battery. The CITIZEN smartphone app also makes it convenient to sync correct times anywhere in the world, set alarms, and phone-search with intuitive operation.

WHAT IS ECO-DRIVE?

Citizen Eco-Drive watches use the simplest, yet most technically advanced power generating and storage system in the Watch Manufacturing Industry. A Solar conversion panel and energy cell are the power provider for these Quartz Watches. Eco-Drive’s ability to use light from any source to generate electrical power means that the supply is limitless and free. The absence of any added complex power generating machinery that would require additional upkeep is another big advantage.

ABOUT CITIZEN:

The company was established in 1918. The founding fathers selected the name Citizen so it would be “Close to the Hearts of People Everywhere” and soon after adopted the company’s formal name, Citizen Watch Company.

During the last ninety-four years Citizen has expanded its business throughout the world and has achieved recognition as a global brand. The past 30 year period has coincided with the company’s dramatic rise to its current position as the world’s largest watchmaker, a distinction Citizen has held every year since 1986.

Beyond sheer size, Citizen is also recognized as a worldwide leader in advanced technology. From the world’s slimmest LCD watch to the first voice recognition watch and the world’s first professional dive watch with an electronic depth sensor, Citizen’s record of “world firsts” is unmatched.

More recently, Citizen has staked out a new position as the leader in Ecologically Friendly timekeeping with its Eco-Drive collection of light powered watches. With models ranging from dress to sport to professional dive watches, Citizen Eco-Drive runs continuously in any kind of natural or artificial light for a lifetime of use. In 2007, Citizen radio controlled atomic-timekeeping to the Eco-Drive collection, thus developing the most accurate watches in the world. With the presentation of the Eco-Drive Satellite Wave at Baselworld 2011, Citizen has re-affirmed its position as a worldwide leader in timekeeping technology.

What’s next? Stay tuned for the latest in revolutionary technology and advanced styling from Citizen.
