Citizen Watches – A Combination of Style and Functionality

My husband’s birthday was fast approaching and my head was rolling around thinking about the best gift for him. I really wanted to give him something that’s unique, special and something that he will cherish for the rest of his life. Then I thought of creating a list of items that he would like, after which I realized his craziness for watches. The moment I thought of buying him a timepiece, Citizen was the brand that struck my mind. So, I thought a timepiece from this brand would be a major style marker for him and also help define his personality to a great extent.

The collection of watches offered by the brand include Citizen Eco-Drive, The Signature Collection and Drive from Citizen. I was looking to buy one that he could wear to formal events or the rugged one that he could he use everyday. The brand has both to offer me. While researching, I found that some of the Citizen timepieces are automatic so they don’t need any battery replacement, while a few of them are powered by solar. Some of them also have alarm settings, so I thought he will always be on time to catch his office bus.

Since the timepiece was for that special someone in my life, I went through every feature and detail thoroughly. I looked into the strap material, color, type, and other stylistic features. Citizen watches come in a variety of strap materials including fabric, genuine leather, metal, plastic, PU, silicone, synthetic and synthetic leather. I thought of going for genuine leather or metal one because either of them would suit him the best. I also considered buying a bracelet strap watch because he likes timepieces that have bracelet straps. Citizen watches feature chronograph, water-resistance, alarm clock, calendar, date display and luminous features. I thought I will choose one that has a chronograph function because chronograph timepieces have multiple sub-dials that do a lot more than just displaying the time.

I also considered the dial shapes while choosing a timepiece. The dial shapes of Citizen watches include contemporary, rectangle, round, square and tonneau. Though round dials are popular among many, I thought of going for a contemporary dial as that’s gaining more popularity. The dial and strap also come in a variety of attractive colors. Therefore, I decided to choose one that would suit his personality and also complements the clothes he would wear.

After considering all the features, I decided to buy a Citizen watch that will always keep him on time and in style. Since his birthday was in just a few days from now, I could not find time to go to a store. Then I found that an easy and convenient to buy a watch is to buy Citizen watches online. It helped me save time and effort of going from store to store. Apart from watches for men, the brand also offers timepieces for women. Therefore, I decided to buy one for myself, as they look very elegant and attractive.
