Amazon Prime Day 2024 is already half over, but great discounts on everything from smooth-sounding AirPods to bestselling men's shoes are still up for grabs. And while Amazon is normally the first place to look for deals on the best men's watches from Seiko, G-Shock, and Bulova, it's Citizen that's offering the most impressive deals for Prime Day, including one of its most attractive solar-powered sports watches that's nearly $100 off.
The Citizen Weekender Sport Casual 3-Hand Eco-Drive Watch is on sale during Amazon Prime Day for only $151—a discount of over $90 off the regular price of $250. This watch is powered by Citizen's patented Eco-Drive movement, which uses solar panels just under the dial to collect and store energy, recharging the battery regularly. While some like the old-world charm of an automatic Citizen watch, the Eco-Drive movement offers a whole lot of upside that can't be ignored.
While the inside of this watch is a technological marvel, there's plenty more to appreciate on the outside. It has an attractive black satin finish dial with Arabic numeral markers at three, six, and nine o'clock. The 12 o'clock position includes a 60-minute marker which gives the dial a sporty look. It also includes a luminous handset, a fixed minute bezel, and a comfortable black polyurethane strap. Perhaps the most useful feature of this watch is the impressive 100 meters of water resistance. That means you can feel comfortable using the watch to wash the dishes or swim in the pool. The stainless steel case is also very durable and corrosion-resistant, making it perfect for everyday wear.
Shoppers say they love this watch because of its classic yet sporty look. "Fabulous-looking watch," a shopper said. "This Citizen is a great-looking watch that combines sportiness with an easy-to-read face…the soft rubber strap stretches nicely, offering a secure fit." Another shopper agreed, saying, "I like that this one has a unique style that doesn't look like most other watches."
Others chose this watch for its advanced solar-powered design. "Citizen has earned my well-deserved respect over time having carved out a niche in the world of affordable solar-fueled watches with a near-perfect combination of looks, style, value, and reliability," a shopper said. "It has its own distinct look that makes it stand out in an ocean of lookalike diver-style watches."
It's not always easy to find a watch that has a little bit of everything that won't cost you a lot, but the Citizen Weekender Sport Casual 3-Hand Eco-Drive Watch does exactly that for under $200. Make sure to grab yours before Prime Day ends on July 17.
