Citizen BV1080-18A Watch Review Summary
My rating: 8.5/10, Great watch, popular Eco-Drive technology.
Citizen BV1080-18A watch is part of Citizen’s Eco-Drive series. Eco-Drive watches power themselves using light, any light be it natural or artificial, this means the watch never requires any battery change. It’s got a fairly casual design to it with the cream coloured easy to read dial and the khaki nylon strap. It uses a Japanese quartz movement giving it accurate timekeeping. Perfect for those looking for a simpler looking watch with a clean looking dial. The use of a smaller sub dial for measuring seconds is a nice touch.

My Final Thoughts:
Citizen BV1080-18A watch is ideal for those who find other watches hard to read. I’m a big fan of most of Citizen’s Eco-Drive range as I really like the use of the technology. I like the overall clean, simplified look of this watch and think Citizen have done a really good job with the design here. The only downside as I mentioned before is the stiffness of the strap when you first get it, this does wear off though so I wouldn’t worry about it that much.
